Jo Avalon’s Third Quarter Moon Guidance – 1 Nov 2026
Hello from Albury, NSW💚,
Today, I pulled three cards from Your First Tarot to share with you (it’s a good travelling size lol). Take a moment to notice which one feels like the message you need right now – left, middle or right – and then scroll down to receive your guidance for this moon phase.

Sunday 1 November is a Third Quarter Moon in Leo. Leo energy is bold, vibrant and charismatic, radiating confidence and a natural leadership presence. Third Quarter Moon energy focuses on completion of plans, forgiveness and transformation. It’s a good time to reflect on your intention and assess whether your actions and decisions were in full support of it, i.e. were your actions aligned with your goal.
You could ask yourself: What habits can I change going forward? How can I acknowledge and celebrate the completion of my goal? What actions do I need to forgive to allow its release? Where am I heading? What will I do next?
Now, here are your grounded messages.

Left Card: 3 of Pentacles – Collaboration, Critique, Group Work, Creation, Study, Master of Your Craft
This energy invites you to consider working with others to achieve your goals, especially if you’re manifesting something big, and could benefit from receiving some external support. You may also have the opportunity to assist someone else in manifesting their dreams. You could also have an opportunity to learn from someone more experienced than you. Both scenarios can be challenging or rewarding, and offer opportunities for growth and development. Affirmation: I always receive the help I need. I am open to learning from others.
Middle Card: 5 of Cups – Disappointment, Regret, Glass Half Empty, Letting Go, Loss
This energy encourages you to allow yourself to grieve your loss, to feel sad and upset about the things that haven’t worked out, the failed dreams or people who’ve moved on, but don’t sit in that energy for longer than necessary. There is goodness and love, dreams to work towards, and much to be grateful for if you look for it. Grieve, let the past go, face forward and focus on the future. Affirmation: There is so much good in my life. I am grateful for what I have.
Right Card: Knight of Wands – Courageous, Confident, Enthusiastic, Brave, Vibrant, Fiery, Charismatic, Revolutionary
This energy encourages you to be brave and courageous in your life. Follow your passions and let the things that light you up to lead the way. Take the action needed for yourself. Stay focused on your goal, and look for ways to be of service to others, your community and the world. Affirmation: I am brave and courageous. I am of service.
All Three Cards:
The energy of all three cards encourages you to move forward with courage, even if recent disappointments or setbacks have left you questioning the path ahead. Allow yourself to acknowledge and release what hasn’t worked out, then refocus on the possibilities that still lie before you. You do not have to do everything alone; support, guidance, and meaningful collaboration can help you move closer to your goals. By following your passions, taking inspired action, and remaining open to both giving and receiving assistance, you can create positive momentum and make a meaningful contribution to the world around you. Affirmation: I am open to receiving help. I release what’s behind me. I choose my direction and move with sustained focus.
