As I’m writing this piece, the last sun rays of summer 2026 warm my home office. I hear sounds of lake seagulls in the distance and all seems to be well and swell within me and around me. The summer was a strong test of burning all sorts of layers around my heart and pouring more intuition and faith into the future path.
As the first shadows of Venus Retrograde season were cast upon us, more women came to me for advice against the fear mongering on the Internet. Though it will be a difficult autumn, it will also be successful, liberating one. Old wounds in love, commitment and partnership will resurface, yes, exes will possibly return if needed to show you something in you that changed in the meantime (think of your love and business relations back in 2018, 2010 and 2002), but most importantly, there will be an extreme, powerful energy who want YOU to get free and move on to greener, more hearty pastures.
If you ever wanted to love differently, more profoundly, NOW it’s the time to release whatever holds you back.
First, we make space. Then, we embrace.
Astrology is not forcing its way into the decisions of your life. But Astrology shows you the quality of time. There are times when it’s more fruitful to work, to build something successful. But there are also times when destroying the shackles and walls around your heart can be achieved faster and easier.
This autumn is about the latter.
The technology of the heart – mind coherence is really behind the heart to heart telepathy
Think about those times when your mind just remembered a person and the next think, that particular person wrote to you or called you. Or think about those times when you just woke up with this ingrained sense that something has shifted in someone we love or long for. You sit across your partner at the kitchen table and know the atmosphere between you two has changed.
The world has named these types of moments synchronicity or telepathy, for the lack of better terms. In the minds of most (reductive) scientists, this is out of the ordinary, strange, pseudo-science communication.
The past years have proved that there is such a think called heart-mind coherence through which two people can actually stay connected beyond the seen physical space.
This October is that type of month to prove it. October is preparing us for La Dia de Los Muertos (when the veil between the worlds is the lightest), and now we’re in the YIN season when power resides within Thought-Forms (in Romanian: forme-gand).
“Heart-to-heart telepathy” is not an established scientific construct, but a more spiritual and ezoteric interpretation that refers to the felt experience of knowing, sensing, receiving or transmitting something to another person without an explicit verbal exchange. Depending on the person using it, the phrase may describe:
- Ordinary but subtle interpersonal perception: reading facial expression, posture, timing, tone, silence, context and behavioural patterns, often without conscious awareness.
- Embodied and emotional attunement: sensing another person through one’s own nervous system, including emotional contagion, interoception and autonomic co-regulation.
- Neural or physiological synchrony: measurable coordination between people’s heart-rate dynamics, brain activity, gaze, movement or electrodermal responses during interaction.
- Psi or paranormal telepathy: the proposed transfer of thoughts, emotions or information without any known sensory or technological channel, including across distance.
- A spiritual metaphor: a form of recognition, compassion or shared presence that is not reducible to explicit language.
The HeartMath Institute’s Science of the Heart study is where I found for the first time an actual detailed, scientific explanation for what I had experienced through my own spiritual and energetic experiences, in relation to sensing and feeling others.
According to them, the heart does not simply receive orders from the brain; it participates in a continuous conversation with the brain and the rest of the body through neural, biochemical, mechanical and electromagnetic pathways. Heart-rate variability, or HRV, reflects the changing intervals between heartbeats and is influenced by breathing, emotion, attention and autonomic regulation. In HeartMath’s model, coherence describes a more ordered and harmonious pattern of physiological activity, often visible when the heart rhythm becomes more sine-wave-like around a low-frequency resonance of approximately 0.1 hertz.
Their research on interpersonal synchrony is quite fascinating. In one study of couples, researchers recorded heart rate and heart-rate variability as partners spoke about positive and negative aspects of their relationship. Their cardiac rhythms showed patterns of in-phase and anti-phase synchrony associated with aspects of their relational experience.
Intimacy is a dynamic physiological environment in which two nervous systems continually adjust to one another.
Romantic couples have shown greater inter-brain synchrony during social interaction than strangers, particularly when gaze, positive affect and behavioural coordination were present. Close friends can also show similar neural responses to naturalistic events.
Gregg Braden speaks about heart–brain coherence as a state cultivated through attention, breathing and elevated emotions such as appreciation, gratitude and compassion. In his work, bringing awareness to the heart and regulating the breath can open access to intuition and what he calls heart intelligence. Braden also extends this idea into a larger metaphysical field, suggesting that the heart’s electromagnetic activity carries information and that coherent feelings can influence the field of possibilities around us.
The heart speaks, but it does not speak alone. It speaks with the nervous system, with memory, with attention, with longing, with fear and with the slow intelligence of lived experience. During the following weeks of October, try to work more conscious with these energies to fully capture their gifts.
Questions to sit with in October:
- When I feel that I “know” what someone I love is feeling, am I sensing their reality, or responding to my own history and fear?
- Can I remain deeply connected to another person while allowing them to remain separate from me?
- What do I notice in the space between us before words are spoken?
- What happens in my body when I feel safe, open and connected to another person?
- Where am I picking up the emotional atmosphere of a workplace or collective?
- Which experiences of wordless connection have changed the way I understand love?
This October, try to sense your heart more and what you radiate into the world. Then, as you observe your outer realities, try to become available to meet others with the same availability you meet yourself.
This month is intense, but it needs to be. It asks for our elevation before the end of the year and it needs us to accelerate our inner coherence in all areas of life, starting with our own. The aim is not to love or to mind control, but to put yourself in that state that makes loving inevitable.
The energies of October in a nutshell
The Venus Retrograde season is accompanied in October by Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio. Even if they don’t meet directly in the retrograde, the Mercurial energies are strongly governed by what Venus is uncovering and dismantling. They will work hand in hand to release, release, release.
The New Moon in Libra (October 10th) will ask for accountability and maturity in the pursuit of relations as well as open, loving hearts who choose authenticity and generosity over ego-boosting, while the closing Full Moon in Taurus (October 26th) could bring full liberations and truth in both heart and money matters, clearing the way towards better, more heavenly love connections.
