New moon/Samhain/Halloween/All Souls Day reading:

How can we release fear? 
Strength. 
Deal with the scary things up close and personal. Hold them gently, especially the scary parts of yourself. When you can be soft and close with the things that inspire fear, and with the parts of yourself that experience fear, you'll find that fear naturally has less of a grip on you. 
What cycle is closing?
The Moon. 
We're moving out of a period of unconscious knowing, deep dreaming, and instinct. It's a weird place, and can be hard to grapple with because its very nature is pre-language. But if we can be present to the lesson of The Moon, even if we don't understand it at the time, we'll come to a place down the road where looking back, it will make perfect sense. We're moving toward that place now. 
How can we be more in the flow?
Four of Wands.
Celebrate life, it's a dance. Connect with other people in joy and excitement, and give your energy a creative outlet. By being in the flow, I mean participating and creating, giving and receiving, without trying to control or scheme or explain everything. We can flow more, and more easily when we take time for pleasure and fun. Energy put into pure fun recharges us.
What cycle is opening now?
The Sun.
This is a beautiful counterpoint to The Moon. This is when all of the recent mysterious stuff will start making sense. We're moving into a cycle of expansion, clarity, warmth, energy and joy. So enjoy it! Look back on the last month, times that were dark and hard. Now you'll start to see how they were in fact lessons, and what they meant.
