Today is Friday, November 9th
Friday is the day of Venus. It takes it name from Frigg, the Goddess of love and transformation. She rules the spiritual side of a person that manifests in the physical. Because of this, Friday is often thought of as dangerously unpredictable. This is expressed in an old East Anglian adage:
Friday’s day will have its trick
The fairest or foulest day of the week.

Around this time each year in Thailand, at the nearest full room, the Loi Krathong Festival is held in honor of the water goddess, Mae Khongkha, to than her with offerings of river-borne banana-leaf cups holding flowers, lighted candles, or incense for providing life-sustaining water. Also at this full moon, a water festival is celebrated in Cambodia marking the end of the rainy. season. Water is the element of the constellation of Scorpio, making this a time of heightened emotion, intuition, and creativity
Archangel Therapy
The Archangel Gabriel has dominion over the water signs and, in particular, over Scorpio’s time. We draw the healing power of Gabriel into your body, hold up a cup of water, close your eyes and visualize an eagle circling above a mineral rich spring. This should melt away your stress and ailments.

PHRA NARET
Themes: Water; Wishes; Abundance; Wealth; Prosperity; Beauty; Luck
Symbols: Candles; Boats; Water
About Phra Naret: In Thailand (formerly Siam), Phra Naret is the goddess of good fortune, prosperity, and beauty. Having been born of water, she flows into today’s festivities with fertility, abundance, and wealth.
To Do Today: This charming festival includes the launching of small boats filled with candles, incense, coins, and gardenias on a nearby river. According to tradition, should the candle stay lit until it flows out of sight, the launcher’s wish will come true. You can recreate this by using a stream of hose water, a raft of popsicle sticks or plywood, and whatever tokens you want to give to Phra Naret to generate her luck in manifesting your wish. Just make sure you choose biodegradable items, since you need to let the raft flow out of your site so the magic can release itself. Anyone finding the wish boat will also be blessed with a wish and a little of Phra Naret’s prosperity.
Drink plenty of fresh water to internalize Phra Naret’s positive attributes today, and wash your floors with plain water so that her abundance and fertility will be absorbed into every part of your home. If you have plants, remember to give them a little water today too, so they can grow with this goddess’s profusion.

Friday: The day of beauty
Frigg was the Norse goddess of beauty, love, household, fertility and motherhood. She was Odin’s wife. She wonderfully balances out the dreadfulness of all the masculine gods sitting around our week table.
Derived from Latin Dies Veneris, Friday is viernes in Spanish, vendredi in French and venerdi in Italian. The day belongs to Venus, the Roman goddess of beauty, love and fertility..

Magickal Days of the Week – Friday
Friday falls at the end of the work week for many of us, and that means we get a chance to relax for a little bit! Mark your Fridays with colors like pink and aqua, and metals such as copper. This is a day ruled by the planet Venus, so it should be no surprise that Venus and Aphrodite – goddesses of love and beauty – are associated with Fridays. This is a day named for the Norse goddess Freyja, so be sure to take a moment to honor her as well.
Gemstones associated with Friday include coral, emerald and rose quartz, and plants like strawberries, apple blossoms and feverfew are also related. This is a good day to do spellwork associated with family life and fertility, sexuality, harmony, friendship, growth. Take advantage of Friday’s correspondences and plant a seed, make something grow, and enjoy your blessings
*Note: There are a lot of disputes as to the origins of the word Friday, because there is still a great deal of discussion as to whether it was named for Freyja or Frigga, and whether they were the same deity or two separate ones. Some scholars believe that while they may have eventually become two distinctly different goddesses, they could have had their origins in a single, common Proto-Germanic deity.

The Witches Guide to Friday
Ruler: Freya, Venus
Colors: Emerald green or pink
Power Hours: Sunrise and the 8th, 16th, and 24th hours following.
Key Words: Love, money, health
It is easy to spot the ruler of this day by its name. In the word Friday, we see the roots of the name of the Norse goddess Freya, a goddess of love and fertility, and the most beautiful and propitious of the goddesses thus the verse “Friday’s child is loving and giving.”
In Spanish this day of the week is called Viernes and is derived from the goddess Venus. Matters of love, human interaction, the fluidity of communication, sewing and the creation of artistic garments, household improvement, shopping, and party planning all fall under the aspects of Friday and its ruling planet, Venus.
Friday’s angels are Ariel/Uriel, Rachiel, and Sachiel. Rachiel also concerns himself with human sexuality and is a presiding spirit of the planet Venus.
On Fridays, the hour of sunrise and every eight hours after that are also ruled by Venus, and that makes these times of the day doubly blessed. These four hours are the strongest four hours for conducting ritual.
Check the local newspaper, astrological calendar, or almanac to determine your local sunrise.

The Moon in Sagittarius: Optimistic, Philosophical, Adventurous
November 8 – November 10, 2018
By Tarot.com Staff
Astrology, Full Moon, Moon, New Moon, Sagittarius
Before we jump straight into the Moon in Sagittarius, let’s first learn about the Moon itself. In Astrology, the Moon is considered a planet. It moves so quickly through the sky that it actually passes through each of the zodiac signs every month! While most people are familiar with their Sun sign, many people are unaware of what their Moon sign is. Why is knowing this aspect of this so important? The Moon is our astrological home, and it relates to our moods and our gut feelings.
When the Moon is in Sagittarius
No matter what your Moon sign is, we are all honorary Sagittarians when the Moon moves through that sign. The energy of Sagittarius is very expansive, free, and visionary. If you’re normally very pragmatic or cynical, you might find that you’re a little more optimistic than usual. Your mind will start considering all the possibilities of a situation rather than just focusing on the potential roadblocks. Your thoughts could end up in uncharted territory!
A Sagittarius Moon will renew your sense of adventure, and you could have the desire to pick something (no matter how big or small) and just go for it. Sagittarius loves the idea of traveling and expanding their horizon. This can be something physical like traveling to a faraway place, or taking their mind on a trip with an education pursuit. Don’t be surprised if you have the urge to register for that class you’ve been thinking about taking, or if you decide to book a last-minute vacation during this transit.
New Moon in Sagittarius
New Moons are a time of new beginnings and new emotional cycles. The Sagittarius New Moon asks us to plant the seeds of optimism. This is when we allow ourselves to leave the painful parts of our pasts behind so we can visualize a bigger and brighter future. This idealistic outlook doesn’t match the realities of everyone’s life. Many people are suffering in economic, emotional, physical, and spiritual ways. It’s not difficult to find areas of frustration and fear inside us and in the environment around us. The Sagittarius New Moon offers you hope, and all the wonderful things that hope brings. Instead of seeing a situation as it is, you will be able to imagine what your situation could be.
Full Moon in Sagittarius
Unlike the New Moon, which is about starting something new, the Full Moon is about reflecting on what we planted six months ago, and how it’s coming to fruition. It urges us to consider what’s next. This is an interesting time because the Moon in far-seeing Sagittarius opposes the Sun in nearsighted Gemini. Gemini is concerned with things that are nearby while Sagittarius wants us to contemplate what’s on the distant horizon. We might be overwhelmed with ideas and information, but the Sagittarius Full Moon helps us focus our attention on long-term goals and higher principles rather than getting lost in a flood of small details.
If you were born with the Moon in Sagittarius
Lunar Sagittarians are the free spirits of the zodiac, and are most fulfilled when they have the freedom to live life on their own terms. They feel their best when they can maintain their independence and come and go as they please. People with this bold Moon sign are always game to try something new, and their nomadic nature often has them daydreaming about their next adventure! This sign doesn’t ask, “Why?” It asks, “Why not?”
Someone with a Sagittarius Moon has a passion for learning. This Moon sign is all about expansion, and that includes broadening their minds. Sagittarius chases after wisdom, and they do this by seeking out the truth about the people and world around them. This Moon sign likes to dabble in philosophy, psychology, religion, or whatever subject might help them in their pursuit of knowledge.
Optimism is at the heart of people born with a Sagittarius Moon. Their happy-go-lucky demeanor and positive outlook on life give them an adaptability that makes it easy to roll with all of life’s punches. Some mistake their idealism for having an unrealistic outlook on life, but it’s really that Lunar Sagittarians believe in their heart that everything will work out for the best in the end.

Magickal Applications for Friday
Friday is named after the Norse goddesses of love, Freya and Frigga. There seems to be some debate as to whom the day is actually named after, so I thought I would share a little information so you can decide for yourself.
In Latin, this day is known as Dies Veneris, “Venus’s day.” In Greek, it’s Hermera Aphrodites, which translates to the “day of Aphrodite.” In Old English, this day is called Frige- daeg, or “Freya’s day.” This day has the Germanic title of Frije-dagaz, which, once again, could be Freya’s day or Frigga’s day.
Both Freya and Frigga were Norse goddesses of love and were the Teutonic equivalent of the Greco-Roman Venus/Aphrodite. However, Freya was one of the Vanir—the gods of fertility who supervised the land and sea—and she was the leader of the Valkyries. Frigga, Odin’s wife, was the goddess of the heavens and of married love. She was one of the Aesir—the gods associated with battle, magick and the sky. Freya and Frigga could be looked upon as different aspects of the same goddess. They both were called on to assist in childbirth and then in naming of the new baby. Frigga represented the faithful wife and loving mother, while Freya, who really captured the hearts and imagination of the Norse people, was the passionate mistress and lover.
Fridays classically are days for love, fertility, romance, and beauty magick, as well as working for happiness, harmony in the home, and friendship. So let’s take a look at some of the mythology involved with this loving, voluptuous, passionate, and luxurious day of the week, and see where it leads us.

FRIDAY
For many, Friday is the last work day of the week. It’s considered the fifth day of the work week and, also, the “cut loose” day. By Friday night, people are out having a party. That makes Friday the perfect day for lust, banish, fast-grant, and find spells. This day is so powerful (energy wise). That’s why whatever you do on this day will, usually, have a strong effect. If you want things out of your life, the darkness and power, associated with this day, bring the energy you need for that. If you need strong, immediate results, this is your day, as well.

This will help strengthen the existing bond between you.
SPELL TO ATTRACT A LOVE
Play a CD or Tape of some romantic music that means something to you. Make sure that the music does not include songs that you associate with another person. It is important to keep specific people out of your mind performing this spell.
On a sheet of cardboard, light a candle of your favorite color to represent you. Then, light a red or pink candle to represent whoever your new love may be. Using a red magic marker or crayon, draw a heart around the red candle.
Every day for at least a week, relight the candles in the evening, and as soon as you light the candles, move them slightly closer together, so that on the last day, the candles are as close together as possible.
THE SPELL OF THE SHELL
To perform this spell, you must find a suitable shell in shallow water. Take the shell and dry it thoroughly. Next, place a symbol of your desire upon the surface of the shell. The symbol must be made with a substance which will easily wash off in water.
Place the shell upon the shore, so that the Tide will bring waves across the shell. Take care to note the phase of the Moon (waxing moon for the gain of something, waning for the dissolving of something). When the shell is in place, draw a triangle in the sand, enclosing the shell completely. The symbol upon the shell must be facing upwards (toward the Moon). Meaningful words, or phrases, may be placed upon the shell also, or simply written in the sand (inside the triangle). Finally, give the words of enchantment: (toward the moon)
Goddess of Moon, Earth, and the Sea,
Each wish in Thy name must come to be.
Powers and Forces which Tides do make,
Now summon Thy waves, my spell to take
Leave the area now, and the spell is set. Once the waves come, then your wish will be taken out to the Old Ones. It will usually take about 7 days for a Lunar spell to begin to manifest, but can take as long as 28 days.

Celebrating Legends, Folklore & Other Spirituality 365 Days A Year for November 9
Loy Krathog, Lord Mayor’s Day
Loy Krathog is the traditional wishing festival of Thailand. land. On this day, small boats are fashioned from banana peels and lotus leaves. When the sun sets, people take their boats to the shore, where they fill them with offerings of incense and gardenia petals. A white candle is then placed in the boat along with a wish. The boats are then set adrift on the water. It is believed that if the candle in the boat stays lit until its owner can no longer see, then the wish will be granted.
After the calendar reform of 1752 the Lord Mayor’s Day was moved from October 28 to November 9. It is on this day that “Mock Mayors” are elected in many of the poorer English towns. The elections are designed to poke good-natured fun at some of the more prestigious municipalities and their sometimes times pompous politicians. Of course, the more offensive the candidate is, the more joy in having him take the podium, whereupon a cabbage stalk is presented to him to serve as his mayoral mace. The festivities are usually followed by somewhat what raucous behavior and of course the usual drinking and feasting.
Daily Incantations & Enchantments for November 9
This is an incantation to bring love into your life. It doesn’t necessarily mean romantic love, if that is NOT your intent. This can also draw in a close friendship. Remember, intent is ALWAYS of the utmost importance in spell-casting.

I feel it flow.
You are the one, it is destiny
One plus one, so mote it be.
*If there is someone specific that you wish to attract, picture them as you recite these words and be sure to put the correct intent behind them, i.e. romantic feelings, or for friendship, etc.

Tip From A Witch

May This Day Be Blessed
A Quick Word Before We Get Started……
I apologize for us running late but…….it is not the ladies’ fault here, it is mine. I have been helping out a dear, dear friend with his website. He has always supported me in all my endeavors and I feel like helping him to grow his new website is a way to say thank you.
I agreed to do five daily topics on his site, each day. They include Daily Horoscopes, Daily Quote of the Day, Daily Inspiration, This Day in History and finally The Old Farmer’s Almanac. It is his hope and mine that his site will eventually turn into a daily on-line newspaper. I know you have heard me mention his site several times but I will mention it again, it is…..
The Commentary Gazette
I think if you visit it, you will be surprised at the topics that are already on the website. This gentleman is retired college professor. He is very opinionated, has commentary on today’s hottest topics and his opinion on these topics does make sense and will make you stop and think. He also has mythology, ancient history, American history, and many more.
Since I am busting my rump, getting advertising for his site up and running. I would appreciate it if you did me a personal favor, stop by and check his site out. What do you have to lose, you might be surprised when you read some of his article. They just might open your eyes and mind to a new way of thinking. It is a good site, with your help and mine, it is going to be a great site.
Thank you, my sweets,
Love ya,
Lady A
I should add I have also agreed to post the Daily Tarot Cards on Lady Beltane’s site,
Coven Life.
I have fell short on hold up that agreement. Today things change, I will posting the Daily Tarot Cards on her site. Now don’t panic, they will be the same that are posted here. I don’t want you think you have to run all over the place to get your daily divination. But it is only fair that if I mention one site we support that I mention the other. See I am just all over the place, lol!

Get a Jump On Tomorrow, Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, November 8th
Get A Jump on Tomorrow,
Your Horoscopes for Thursday, November 8th
by Jennifer Angel
Aries
It’s great if you have new opportunities in life, but if you feel overwhelmed, take a break and reexamine your life and see how to manage your time better. With the influence of Jupiter, you want to get in touch you’re your grand plan and get steps together to make it happen. you so you can keep your productivity high.
Taurus
Planet Jupiter moves to your area of intimacy and can point you in the direction to connect with others whom you can have a connection of substance with. Work on priorities, but follow your heart, which will mean that some people, things and situations will need to be rescheduled, postponed or simply cancelled.
Gemini
Don’t raise the bar too high for what you expect from someone. There should be a sense of equality in a relationship, and it is best when you are on the same page and work as a team. And as Jupiter has just moved to your area of relationships, the more gratitude you can have in your life, the more you will attract people you resonate with.
Cancer
You are not scared of work, Cancer, even if exhaustion has been a byproduct. And with Jupiter now having moved to your day-to-day area of productivity, the energy will help you meet deadlines. Go out and socialize; and in the process, look the best you can so you feel fabulous.
Leo
Because you’re a high achiever, you attract people who have the same ethic, energy and aspirations as you do, especially now as Jupiter moves to your area of creativity. Communicate with people to see what their capabilities are.
Virgo
You need to complete certain assignments and with Jupiter just moved to home area, your family wants your attention, too. Decide which is your highest priority and follow through. Trying to fulfill others’ wishes and still pursue your goals is not a simple task; a solid plan is a must to keep your sanity.
Libra
With Jupiter now in your area of conversing with others, education and creativity, you’ll need to put time aside to work out your game plan as to what you would like to achieve over this next year. Decide which are your priorities and stick to them, but do allow time to chill and reflect.
Scorpio
Constant change is inevitable, and it can be a challenge to keep up. When you make life-altering decisions, you get so involved that those closest to you miss your love and warmth. And if you deal with money, with Jupiter having just moved for your sign to your money zone, then your full attention is needed on the task at hand.
Sagittarius
Trying to cater to everybody’s wishes can drain your energy, which you need now to create the life you want. With Jupiter, your ruler, now in your sign for the next year, a powerful position for you, it’s an ideal time to set your goals and go after them with determination.
Capricorn
Jupiter makes a move to the sign before yours and this is a good indication for you to focus your attention on your dream, goals and what you want to come through for your future. Don’t hold back, wish big, be bold and go for gold!
Aquarius
If you think you can offer good business advice to a friend, with Jupiter just having moved to this area of your chart, then go ahead and do so, but don’t expect that they’ll follow it. They may but they may not, so don’t get too attached to what they do with your wisdom.
Pisces
Being an optimist is an attractive trait that people appreciate about you. And with the help of Jupiter now having moved to your career zone, you can win over just about anyone to your way of thinking. As most everything in life is negotiable, you can come out in front during this time.

Your Daily Horoscope for Wednesday, November 7
Aries
March 21- April 19
Today your energy is revving like a motorcycle engine, raring to go. You’re full of feeling and passion. And since right now you can be impulsive about expressing strong emotions, you’ll need to channel these feelings in a careful, conscious way. Don’t snap at your spouse or a coworker, and avoid any type of manipulative behaviour. Instead, talk things out with someone you trust. This will free up deeper levels of energy within you.
Taurus
April 20-May 20
You’re rather stirred up today, and you may be dealing with some tricky emotions such as jealousy or suspicion. These are natural feelings, of course, if uncomfortable ones. Everyone has them. But instead of simply talking it out with the person concerned, you turn stubborn and secretive. It’s much better to take a forgiving attitude. Remember, you could easily be reading the situation wrong. Don’t be hard on yourself or others, either.
Gemini
May 21-June 21
Everyone around you seems to be in a very intense mood today. The way you see it, people are taking their feelings waaay too seriously. Why can’t everyone just calm down and develop a sense of humour? You may be right about that. Being able to laugh at yourself is one of your best qualities, Gemini. But it’s also okay to feel your emotions deeply. You don’t always have to intellectualise everything.
Cancer
June 22-July 22
Your deepest feelings are stirred up today. Fortunately, you’re no stranger to deep emotions, and you know how to handle them. If you’re in a stable relationship with a romantic partner, so much the better, but your connection with your best friend or a beloved family member is important now, too. It’s good to talk out your feelings with someone you love and trust. Make that intimate connection today, Cancer.
Leo
July 23-August 22
Your dramatic streak swells today. You feel all worked up and moody for no reason you can put your finger on. Try not to turn this stormy energy toward yourself or your partner. In moments like these, you need a lot of compassion, support and love, and creating issues in your close relationships will only make you feel worse. Look at your spouse or close friends as a safe harbor in which to anchor your ship.
Virgo
August 23-September 22
You hold yourself and others to high standards even on a good day, but today, you zero in on errors like arrows seeking a target. If you feel impatient with yourself or someone near you, it’s a sign that you need to slow down and take a deep breath. There’s probably something beneath the surface of your emotions that you aren’t dealing with. You’ll feel better if you take a closer look at it.
Libra
September 23-October 22
You crave closeness today with someone who knows you well, such as your spouse, partner or best friend. But this person knows both your strengths and your weaknesses, and loves you just the same. If you need to have a heart-to-heart talk, this is a good day for it. Just be honest about your own feelings and motivations, and reach out with love. Intimacy will deepen as a result.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 22
Your personal power is on high today. Fresh energy moves through you, strengthening your sense of inner purpose and ambition. As with any burst of self-direction, it’s important to think about how you plan to channel this. Though you’re in a take-charge mood, you don’t need to dominate everyone around you. Think of how to put your personal power to use in a way that will benefit everyone.
Sagittarius
November 23-December 20
Normally you’re all about freedom, even in personal relationships. You want to do your own thing, and you’re happy for your partner to do the same. But today, you’re feeling a little possessive of their time and energy. The key here is not to take these feelings too seriously. Don’t deny them or bottle them up, which will only make them more intense. But recognise that they’re just feelings, and will pass soon.
Capricorn
December 21-January 19
You love days like this, when you’re able to focus deeply on the task before you and really get something done. You’re discovering interesting facts in places you didn’t expect. Hold your findings under wraps for a few more days. For now, keep digging and making important connections. Soon you may be ready to reveal your project to everyone, and to great acclaim. Be ready for your fifteen minutes of fame.
Aquarius
January 20-February 18
Analysing people, situations, options and outcomes is one of your fortes. Today, use this talent of yours to go deeply into a subject or issue that’s been on your mind. The more personal this issue is, the more edgy your exploration could become, but keep pushing forward with it. The truth is important to you, even if it means you have to go through some uncomfortable moments to uncover it.
Pisces
February 19-March 20
Your connection with a loved one deepens today, or maybe it’s just that you’re more aware of its depth than usual. Even if the other person is far away from you, you sense their presence as if they’re right next to you. Your intuition is stronger now than usual, so use it to tap into your most intimate relationships. Connecting with a friend or your spouse is healing for both of you.

Zodiac Sign Meanings: Scorprio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
Scorpio
Intense and powerful
Intense and powerful, Scorpio’s gaze can penetrate one’s soul
There is little doubt that, with their intense and powerful demeanors, Scorpios come across as forceful personalities with deep-rooted passions. They carry around them an aura of mystery and intrigue, which others find compellingly attractive.
Yet, no matter how much they try, it is unlikely that anyone will succeed in completely penetrating a Scorpio’s mysterious and puzzling soul, for members of this Sign are secretive individuals, who are fiercely protective of their own privacy. Whether at home, work or in love, Scorpios need to be the one in control.
They despise any shallowness, insincerity, weakness of character, and, above all else, betrayal. With their penetrating gaze and great insight, they have the power to read between the lines and see into the heart of the matter in an instant.
At work and play, whatever they take on, Scorpios involve themselves one hundred percent. Their powers of concentration, and ability to focus on the job in hand are unequalled. They have an urgent ‘need to know’, which drives many of them into investigative or forensic operations. Some are drawn to psychology and psychoanalysis, others to scientific research. Surgery and dentistry also attract, but so too, do the mystical arts and occult.
In love and relationships, Scorpios are passionate and intense, and have the reputation of being the sexiest Sign of the Zodiac. Certainly, when they fall in love, these people give their all. However, they do expect their love and devotion to be returned in the same depth and quantity.
Woe betide a partner who is disloyal, or, worse still, one who cheats – for a Scorpio never forgives!
In health matters, Scorpio rules the reproductive system and sexual organs. Problems in these areas are common, and may range from menstrual complications in women, to hernia or urological complaints in men.
Although Scorpios have been described as having lean but strong constitutions, when ill, they can make difficult and demanding patients, rebelling against medical advice which can complicate treatment. Fortunately however, they are blessed with good powers of recovery.
Where wealth is concerned, when it comes to savings and making investments, following whatever their intuition tells them to do, usually pays off handsomely for members of this Sign.
This inborn savvy, combined with their astute business sense, will ensure that money stockpiles nicely for them in the bank. But remember, Scorpios are secretive individuals and they like to keep their financial affairs under wraps – even from those they consider to be their nearest and dearest.

Your Horoscopes for the Month of November
Aries (March 21-Apr. 19)
This is the time every year when your interactions with others intensify, dear ram, as the Scorpio Sun travels in the part of your chart where you merge your energies with others on every level – psychologically, philosophically, intellectually, financially and sexually.
What adds to this powerhouse energy this year is the cycle of Mars, your ruling planet also in intense, magical Scorpio after the 11th. Be prepared for the urge to merge to continue as the Scorpio New Moon on the 12th begs the question: What do you most want from your relationships and what are you willing to invest to get it?
Well, this is the time to plant those seeds, oh pioneer of the zodiac.
And while you are always prepared in life to go it alone because others usually can’t keep up with your pace, you know that when you align with others, it’s much more exciting and fulfilling.
Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20)
Remember the story of Ferdinand the bull? All he wanted to do was sit under the cork tree and smell the roses – until one day he sat on a bumblebee and they thought he must be ferocious enough to fight the bull in the ring in Madrid.
With the Scorpio Sun in your house of relationships, joined by Mars, the planet of passion and desire in Scorpio on the 11th and the New Moon in Scorpio on the 12th, you may feel like that bull who sat on a bumblebee.
Normally, you abhor confrontation, you peace-loving bull, and it may seem that your relationships are egging you on – but the truth is that underneath that desire for peace at any price your soul wants greater intimacy and the only way to have greater intimacy is to be willing to dance in the fire.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
As the adaptable, versatile and sometimes scattered and flighty air sign of the zodiac, you’ve been wondering what hit you as life has been fraught with power struggles lately, with Pluto, the planet of power, dancing opposite your Sun in Gemini. And you’ve been learning to surrender, haven’t you?
With the Sun, Mars and the New Moon all in Scorpio on the 12th, it’s time for you to transform the day-to-day quality of your life.
If this intense energy seems to be taking its toll on your health and general sense of well-being, look at what you eat, how much sleep you get, if you exercise on a regular basis and decide to make changes in these areas so that you create a vibrant, healthy mind/body/spirit.
Scorpio is the sign of transformation, magic, healing and regeneration. So plant the seeds of renewal at this Scorpio New Moon because the Universe always says YES!
Cancer (June 21-Jul. 22)
It’s not easy being you, you say, dear crab? There’s no question that you’ve had to be more disciplined and responsible for your feelings and your emotional well-being. With Saturn, the planet of responsibility and discipline, in Cancer since June, 2017, you’ve had quite a lesson in self-parenting and self-nurturing – not to mention taking responsibility for EVERYTHING you feel without making it someone’s else’s fault.
You know now, dear Moon child, that you’re just as capable of abandoning you as anyone else. With Saturn retrograding on the 8th, you’ll have one more opportunity to create those internal structures that truly support who you are now.
Remember, a playpen is an appropriate, safe structure to protect a child, but that same playpen is confining and restrictive to an adult. Saturn’s message is that you have what it takes to be your own mommy and daddy.
Leo (Jul. 23- Aug.22)
While you are normally gregarious, fun-loving and outgoing by nature, you may be feeling more private, with-drawn, introspective and reflective, with the Sun and Mars in Scorpio cycling in the house of your physical and emotional foundations.
This is the time to entertain yourself in the privacy of your home and celebrate the miracle of your inner life. It would be good to undertake a project in your home so that you have a physical outlet for the intense, powerful energy of Mars, the planet of desire and action, in Scorpio.
If there is friction at home or underlying tension, try to remember when you felt similar energies as a child, because the 4th house is also your past – and if you’re willing to fearlessly face what may be up with the courage of the lion, you will create an amazing present out of that past.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sept. 22)
What a ride you’ve had for the last year as you expanded on every level possible, perhaps even your waistline? Mercury, your guardian angel planet, leaves the focused, determined, penetrating Scorpio energy and journeys into optimistic, exuberant, enthusiastic Sagittarius on the 4th and then retrogrades on the 30th until December 20.
The message of Mercury in fiery Sagittarius is to lighten up on yourself, dear Virgo. Quit being so anal about everything having to be just so. You can miss the miracle of life if you’re so focused on every little detail.
With all the Scorpio planets in your 3rd house of communication and Mercury in philosophical Sagittarius, you’ll find the words to see the bigger picture and communicate with greater power, meaning and purpose at the Full Moon in Gemini on the 26th.
Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
You’re having a ball now, aren’t you, oh lover of relationships, teamwork and cooperation, with Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, traveling in your sign until October, 2018.
If you’re cashing in now, it’s because you deserve it.
You’re reaping what you’ve sown over the last 12 years as it appears that everyone is your raving fan. And with Venus, your guardian angel planet, in Libra until the 22nd when she flows into powerful Scorpio, people are coming out of the woodwork to support you in making your dreams come true.
Yes, everything you touch can turn to gold because you believe it. Of all the signs in the zodiac, you recognize the value and the gift in all relationships and now’s the time for you to reaffirm that every match is made in heaven.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
This is your month of rebirth, healing, regeneration and maximum intensity, dear Scorpio. Whether you express the scorpion, snake or phoenix/eagle energy of Scorpio is up to you to decide. And this November is particularly powerful for you as Mars, your guardian angel planet of desire and action, joins the Sun in Scorpio on the 11th.
Expect things to really heat up after the 11th as you become one with your passion. And when you’re focused on your heart’s desire, there’s no one more focused, determined and relentless than you. Passion is your middle name and Mars in your sign, which only occurs every two years, just doubles the pleasure and doubles the fun.
And for those of us who love you, it’s best to just get out of your way.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec 21)
There’s always the potential for lots of behind the scenes activity in November, dear Archer, as the Scorpio planets flow in your 12th house of dreams, inspiration, spirituality and your unconscious. And very likely it will be easy for you to share what’s going on as Mercury, the planet of communication, cycles into your sign on the 2nd where it will be until January 10, 2018, because of its retrograde journey beginning on the 30th.
Wherever you need clarity and direction in your life, ask for answers in your dreams, especially around the New Moon in Scorpio on the 12th, because while the body sleeps the soul never does. And with Jupiter, your guardian angel planet now in Libra, the sign of teamwork and cooperation, people are coming out of nowhere to support you and your process.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
While you usually know where you’re going, your path up the mountain may not be all that clear as Saturn, your ruling planet, begins its 5 month retrograde cycle on the 8th.
As the Lord of Karma backtracks in your partnership house, take a long hard look at the quality of your relationships, both personal and business and if they are pulling their weight. This is a great time to set boundaries and ask for what you want. And be prepared that your partners will be letting you know, in no uncertain terms, what they need from you.
In your career, which is most important to you, you may be ready for a raise, a promotion, a new job or all three as Jupiter’s expansive energy traverses your 10th house. You’re ready to step up and assume greater responsibility and if you can’t do it in your current job, you may decide to look for a new one and a new and better job may find you because you deserve it.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
You may feel like you’re waking up after a long sleep as Uranus, your guardian angel planet of awakening, breakthrough and rebellion, moves forward again on the 11th after its 5 month tailspin. It’s time for magic in your career this month as the Scorpio planets travel in your 10th house. You feel a powerful sense of mission, especially when Mars cycles into Scorpio on the 11th and the New Moon in Scorpio occurs on the 12th.
You are the humanitarian of the zodiac and it’s time to express your uniqueness, originality and inventiveness in your job and move beyond all restrictions and eliminate what’s not working once Uranus moves forward. There are numerous opportunities for powerful alliances now with people where you can be of mutual benefit to each other.
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March )
With Uranus, the planet of awakening and originality moving forward again in your sign on the 11th, your head may be spinning as you step up to who you really are. You are in a creative re-awakening and are coming into your own.
The dazzling planet Uranus puts you at the center of divine change which may also feel like your own personal revolution so that you can discover the real you. Reinvent yourself and revise your personal life itinerary. More than ever before, you need to be you and do what you want to do in your own unique way.
Normally gentle, compassionate and self-sacrificing, it will surprise you how easy it will be to blast anyone or anything out of sight and mind that prevents you from expressing your inventiveness and individuality. And whatever you give up or lose will be replaced by a rare cosmic gift, your independence – something to treasure forever.

November 2018 Astro-Energy Report – Observing the Stories of Our Lives
To view more of Sarah’s insight, please visit her website, Awakenings, Astrology with Sarah Varcas
At an elemental level November 2018 is all about fire and water. A Grand Trine which began to form at the end of October features significantly throughout this month, accentuating the creative force of fire and the intuitive nature of water. Fire is anger and passion, desire and resistance, inspiration and the impetus to be made new through courageous engagement with life itself. Water is the world of emotions and sensitivity, intuition and spirit, tenderness, oneness and overwhelm. We may drown in our emotions or be refreshed by them; delight in the intimacy of shared feelings or be overcome by a lack of boundaries and the impingement of the world around us. Throughout this month we must strive to balance inspiration with intuition, anger with empathy, tenderness with courage and resistance with surrender. External struggles may trigger emotional meltdown but still we must stand strong in the world and say our piece, make our mark. We may have to fight when we’d prefer to retreat or withdraw to contemplate the world rather than struggle to change it.
Attention to the subtle nuance of each moment will be necessary. The perceptual impact of heightened emotion and the fires of inspiration or anger must be carefully discerned. But most importantly we will need to connect with the subtle knowing that lies beneath all of this, steady and stable, neither you nor me nor anyone else: just the flow of energy and essence underpinning each moment from cradle to grave. It is from this flow that we can draw energy in each moment, pure and untainted by an obsessive mind or broken heart, by shame or regrets, grief or despair. Free even of the joys and delights that hook us into a worldly narrative of good and bad, right and wrong. This energetic presence that lies beneath – the source of our being – remains forever true to the moment and free of all that binds us to the world.
From this place of quiet clarity we can know what’s called for in each moment. When to speak and when to remain silent. When to act, when to step back, when to insist and when to yield. This month invites us to engage with life from a deeper place where wisdom flows like a fresh mountain stream, born of intimacy with all things and embodiment of the wise heart which sees beyond the deceptions of the world to its radiant core.
Mercury entered Sagittarius on 31st October, adding fuel to our inner flame. It will remain there all this month, turning retrograde mid-November and returning briefly to Scorpio at the beginning of December. In Sagittarius, Mercury can be a bit too confident if we let it. A tad over-zealous in its expression, it may tempt us into arrogant pronouncements where open-minded enquiry would better suffice. Consequences are often out of radar range with this Mercury. We forget they exist and make decisions with little regard for them. Sometimes there’s a place for doing this and when Mercury’s in Sagittarius it’s often the case that we simply need to speak out and see what happens. But it’s important to bear in mind that this Mercury can be liberal in its interpretation of fact and fiction, as can we. It allows for all manner of ‘creative’ truths, subjective perspectives and exaggerations, just as it provides the unfettered freedom to speak one’s mind and say it like it is no holds barred.
At its best, Mercury in Sagittarius seeks grand truths that weave all things into an integrated whole. At its less than best it fosters division through its sheer fiery force of opinion which leaves no space for difference or debate. It can broadcast opinions as fact far and wide, and so might we when under its sway. The force of resistance to our pronouncements may catch us off guard if we don’t first listen carefully to what we, ourselves, are saying. Forming part of this month’s influential Grand Trine as it shifts from the water of Scorpio to the fire of Sagittarius, this Mercury reminds us that only through deep inner enquiry can we know the truth and only through the risk of honest and open expression can we share that truth with others in a meaningful way.
Throughout the next two months we’ll have plenty of opportunity to consider the stories we project upon the world to make sense of it: how we insert our personal narrative into the impersonal conditions we encounter in our lives. Using this time to observe how that narrative impacts our experience will be time well spent. Do we weave stories that allow for creative solutions or feelings of limitation and despair? Do we forever resist the conditions we dislike, refusing to discover the power of surrender to a greater force of change in the deeper recesses of our lives? Or do we have the courage to change what we can and the wisdom to let be what we can’t? Do we project a dark and disempowered future or one of possibility – both good and bad – which we, ourselves, can shape – even by the power of our attitude in each moment? Mercury’s current cycle will reveal much about the sense we make of the world and what that sense means to our on-going experience of every day.
Venus also retrograded into Libra on 31st October where she will remain until the beginning of December, turning direct on 16th November. Since turning retrograde on 5thOctober she’s revealed where we get lost in obsessive desire, allow past hurts to dictate the course of the present and seek unhelpful interpersonal drama to feel connected. As Mercury now highlights the dramas we create out of life’s twists and turns, Venus’s return to her own sign softens the edges of these realisations, allowing us to share with others insight seeded in recent weeks. If relationships have revealed their problematic sides of late, it doesn’t necessarily mean an end is called for. The solution may be far more subtle. Better communication may be necessary, or a deeper understanding of the different ways in which we express love. We may benefit from an agreement to air grievances as they arise, not let them fester for a later date. Or perhaps committing to quality time together as a priority, not a luxury, will help us connect at a more intimate level once more.
Venus retrograde in Libra allows us to find love for self and others. She relights the flames of intimacy and the warmth of appreciation, recasting difficulties in the light of busy lives, stressed-out minds and troubled hearts in need of gentle care. It is always true that some relationships simply don’t survive Venus’s retrograde cycle and were never meant to. Their time has come and moving apart is the only way. But for many, gentle and more nuanced shifts of time and attention can release the healing balm of acceptance and forgiveness which forges a more loving and intimate path ahead.
Throughout November, Venus reaches out her wise and gentle hand to any and all who seek greater intimacy and a more heartfelt exchange with life itself. She wants us connected – with each other and ourselves – guided by the heart and relaxed in the warm embrace of love. Together with Mercury in Sagittarius she reminds us that love really does make the world go around, but it comes in many different forms. The more open we can be to giving and receiving it in all its guises, the safer and gentler the world will be. Which is exactly what the North Node’s shift into Cancer on 6th November is all about. So stay tuned for more on that soon!

November 2018 Energy Update
This is a transcript of the Lee’s spoken November Energy Update video.
Magic, Feminine Energy Rising And Review Times
Review Times
Last month I spoke about the presence of a collective identity shift; that many of us are going through a period of deep review around your life, your choices, your relationships, the things that you are doing in the world. This process will continue strongly in November, and you may experience daydreams and flashbacks to other times, other relationships, other places in your life. This is your life-review and ‘life-update’ in progress. Part of that involves a revisiting of past experiences and life events at high speed. The opportunity is to let you see them differently now, to let you see how far you have come, or to learn something from them with the new perspective you have in the now. As we go through these review periods we are having a clearout; it’s no different to clearing out the cupboards at home. We start to lift and rearrange the emotional, psychic and psychological debris inside ourselves when we have a clearout like this. You are not alone – we are changing our patterns individually AND collectively right now in part due to this extraordinarily potent and fast time of transformation.
Elevated Energies
November is going to be a month of very elevated energy.
This can go two ways. When elevated energy is playing out in the world, it can either lift us very quickly into much higher experiences than we’ve been recently having – where things in life start to flow and connect and you may feel happier or more alive than you have recently. But equally, these elevated energy periods of time can expose where things are stuck or too anchoring in our lives. So you may see even more problems in relationships, situations, or areas of your life that are stuck rising up to the surface. So for example, if money is a struggle for you or if there’s another area where you have a chronic pattern at play, you may get to the breaking point where you are tired of the story and it doesn’t feel true to you anymore. November can be a month where that stuckness rises to the surface quite aggressively, because this elevated energy is moving anything that is no longer serving us into a more visible, felt place. Ask yourself, what am I ready to be done with? What am I ready to change about this pattern? And write some notes, set an intention and take some new actions toward creating that new goal. This is how we move toward and into the elevation energy.
Giving And Receiving
Where are you in the balance of giving and receiving? The dance between these two poles will be sharply in focus through November and how it shows up for you will be highly personal.
Is there a part of you that is compelled to give or perhaps has over-given in your life? So in ‘giving’ mode, you never leave room or space to receive from others because you are too busy giving? Perhaps you don’t really have much to give out right now and that part of you needs a rest. Or perhaps you feel it is time for you to learn to be more kind and giving in your life?
In terms of receiving it might be that this month you are on the receiving end of more love, more energy, more resources, more money than you are used to being in the experience of and this is really important.
Part of moving into an elevated energy or a new identity is that our outer circumstances change in tandem with what we are able to create and nurture in our core beliefs and patterns. When we can truly open to the present moment, we receive so much as there is so much right here for all of us. So this giving and receiving energy dance is going to be showing up and asking you to create perhaps new boundaries, perhaps give out more than usual (if that isn’t your normal) and perhaps be more open to receiving and allowing that in.
There is a big balancing effect around giving and receiving taking placein Novemberthat many of us will see play out in our lives in very specific ways.
Feminine Energy
Feminine Energy is rising on our planet, but we have devalued the feminine energy in our society for so long that it has become normal to not see, recognize or honor it. Masculine energy has been the energy that has been celebrated, more seen and nurtured. So as the fire of feminine energy is coming alive on the planet, it is affecting all of us – men, women and those who are gender fluid, as we all possess both masculine and feminine energy.
The rising feminine is currently coming out strongly through people’s voices so you may be finding more of a fire around speaking your truth, especially to people or in situations that previously you may have been hesitant with what you feel needs to be said. We all run on programs and our society puts us in these formations and boxes with each other that we often don’t break out of, so our soul truth is often squashed. One of the messages that came through in this month’s MP3 (Feminine Energy Rising) was that the masculine on the planet cannot progress and evolve if we don’t let the feminine energy in. It is now rising strongly in us all.
So think about this for yourself; Is there somebody, or some scenario that you have been silencing yourself around that actually you are ready to speak to now? You might be surprised at how capable you are of speaking your truth in a way that it is well received. But also, the other person (and all the changes they too have been going through in the last months and years) might now be more capable of hearing it than you think.
Grounded Magic
Magic is on a high right now. When grounded magic shows up in our life, we experience fast connections, opportunities, flow, joy and the feeling that we are living a life that is far bigger than what our eyes alone might have been previously able to see. You feel more connected to the idea that anything is possible when magic energies are around. There might be people coming into your life that you have really special experiences with this month, there might be some really synchronistic opportunities, invitations and happenings too; things that you can’t quite believe are happening in front of you, but they are. And that will facilitate some positive collaborations and creations among people which will benefit others in both the short and long-term.
This experience of magic is how the Universe is speaking louder to those of us who are wanting to listen (and those who have become capable of listening) so that universal energy can start to flow into our daily actions and creations. This leads to more heart connection within ourselves and with each other. It is deeper heart connection that will cause us to be more humane to one another and the planet, and that’s what we truly need at the moment.
Thank you everybody, I hope you have a fantastic November and take good care of yourselves.
Big Love

November 2018 Energy Report
November 2018 Energy Report
To view more of Jennifer’s insight, please visit her website, Enlightening Life
November is a month for intentional action as we’ll see old cycles end as new ones begin, big changes in spiritual understanding and awareness, and space created for new energies so we can expand into greater multi-dimensional potentials and realities. November’s keywords are justice and karma with a strong 11-11 vibration, as the 11th month in an 11 year. We haven’t had this kind of energy since November 2009 and at that time we were nowhere near as awake and aware as we are now. Are you ready for an exciting, action-packed month? It’s here so let’s get started.
The entire year has a strong 11 vibration (2018 is an 11 year) which is the number of the initiate on the spiritual mastery path. 11 is the first of the 3 mastery numbers and we tend to forget that the initiate is charting new spiritual territory and learns by trial and error, it’s the first step on the mastery path. We can expect to encounter challenges and have doubts about our abilities, but our lesson is to learn from them and forge ahead, integrating the lessons into our next steps.
In November we have access to the result of several decades of lessons to apply to our new path. With the nodes and Jupiter changing signs and completing important cycles, we are considering the lessons of energy from April and July 2000 and November 2006 (the previous time Jupiter was in Sagittarius).
What were you doing then that is coming back around now? How is your life different today than it was then? More importantly, how much has your awareness expanded today, giving you access to new frequencies, vibrations, potentials, and possibilities? *note: Jupiter was in Gemini, Sagittarius’ opposite sign, in 2000.
Not only are we are going to be seeing the continued implosion of 3D density timelines in the face of the 5D integration and expansion, anything that constricts our energy, is not supportive of this integration or is opposed to it, is going to have its day of reckoning. The karma wheel is turning now and it is seeking completion and closure or, if we choose that path, it will start another karma cycle for us.
Jupiter moving into Sagittarius, a sign it rules, brings forward the concepts of higher thinking, philosophy, legal issues and law, spirituality, and justice. In ancient astrology Jupiter ruled Pisces, the sign of spirituality, the unseen world, and the illusion. Jupiter governs justice which we tend to think of in terms of courts and law but justice refers to fairness, balance, and equilibrium.
All wrongdoing must be righted, giving must be balanced with receiving, competition is replaced with collaboration, and justice must not be tilted in favor of one person or another. This is a tenet of the spiritual path, that everything must be balanced. We cannot be a giver and not receive, we cannot be a healer and not focus on our own healing, we cannot be made powerless without having a chance to reclaim our power.
Jupiter also brings the truth to light in ways we cannot ignore. Sagittarius is the archer who shoots arrows of truth with laser accuracy. Do you think that being the biggest planet in our solar system gives Jupiter extra ‘weight’ in issues? I think so.
Energetic sovereignty is the outcome of this month’s energy and the moon’s node change reflects that as well.
The nodes changing sign are also a big event this month because they are an indicator of generational energies and shifts. In April 2000 the nodes moved into Cancer/Capricorn where they will be again this month. Think of the changes we have seen in the world since 2000 and all of the disappointments as the turn of the century did not bring the peace, joy, love, and abundance to us and to the world that we thought it would. That period also brought corporate dominance into the world stage. We saw the rise of the ‘corporatocracy’; some would call it the ’corruptocracy’. Now that concept gets re-visited in a new light as the karma wheel turns again.
Will we continue to see the multinational corporations continue to dominate the world? I don’t think so. Monsanto, one of the world’s biggest and, in my opinion, most destructive multinational corporations, was recently acquired by Bayer, another large multinational. Then, in a surprising court ruling, a California groundskeeper won a $278 million verdict in a lawsuit against Monsanto because the jury agreed that their herbicide caused his cancer. While the verdict amount was reduced to $78 million, the legal precedent was set, opening the door to over 1500 lawsuits against Monsanto for similar health issues caused by its herbicide products. Bayer stock is quickly losing value and the company won’t be able to afford the verdict payments in subsequent lawsuits. Karma in action? Is justice served? You decide. Monsanto is also responsible for the development and production of GMO products, which were secretly introduced into the food supply in 1995.
This principle applies to our lives relative to how we have been using our energies and where we are out of balance, not in equilibrium, not congruent or aligned with our own ascension path of divine congruence and harmony. How can we use November’s themes of justice and karma in our lives? Think of where your life is out of balance – where are you giving more than you are receiving? Where are you dimming your light so others can shine or won’t be blinded? Who are you trying to heal and what karmic cycles need to be ended?
These are important questions and they have big implications so you’ll need to consider them carefully. But the ascension path needs to continue to expand and these are our biggest limiters to forward movement and expansion.
As November opens Venus is retrograde in Libra, covering ground it first went over in September. Libra’s glyph is the scales and it rules relationships and partnerships. This is more encouragement to seek balance in our energy and with those we are connected too. We cannot always be the giver, the healer, the supporter, and the light for everyone without pausing occasionally to fill our own glass from the well of joy.
And we have the final Mercury retrograde of 2018 that begins on November 17 (the day after Venus turns direct) and that lasts until December 4. All of the normal Mercury retro cautions apply, double check communications, read everything before you sign it, expect travel delays, and expect some aspect of the past to rise up.
But there is another aspect of this Mercury retro that is a blast from the past. It ends its retro period in the final degrees of Scorpio, the degrees Saturn slowly crossed from June to September 2015. Every time I see a retrograde over those degrees it reminds me of that tough period in 2015 when everything seemed to be so hard, so much was dredged up, and we had to battle our own fears to keep moving forward.
As we continue through these cycles, and they do get more enlightened and easier as we move along, those final degrees of Scorpio will continue to trigger strong change, introspection, and release of stuck energy.
As if the Evolution Revolution needed any more help this month, Uranus goes back into Aries and covering ground it first went over in July 2017. More of the past rises up for justice and karma review. Remember the reason is not punishment or revenge, it is to achieve equilibrium and balance, so look at everything through that lens.
Along with Uranus in Aries we have Eris, the social justice warrior, also in Aries. Uranus and Eris have been traveling together since 2016, empowering people everywhere to stand up for their truth and social change that removes corruption, evil, and injustice. In the past few years we have learned a lot about the injustice and evils done to the most vulnerable, weakest, and most disenfranchised people around the world, especially women and children.
We can thank Eris for that knowledge and Uranus for the strong action taken to fight against it. The evil has existed for centuries – now we know about it. That battle moves forward into a bigger effort now and we are united, as the family of humanity, against those who wish to harm others in the name of greed, power, and corruption.
Don’t forget about Chiron, the wounded warrior, which is in Pisces this month, where it will strengthen Jupiter’s time in Sagittarius and is also heavily active at this time. Soul wounds are triggered and activated for healing and release. Your most painful lessons are always your greatest sources of empowerment. This is your point of pain that you can turn into your point of empowerment.
The November new moon in Scorpio on the 7th assists us in finding comfort and peace after digging deeply to find the sources of our pain. Normally a Scorpio new or full moon can be very emotionally painful. This one presents a new option, the congruent harmony, peace, joy, and divinity that are possible when we are willing to release our emotional baggage and engage our intuition and spirit to uncover our real truth and wear it proudly.
The full moon of the 23rd is at 0 Gemini, shining its light brightly on Jupiter, newly placed in its ruling sign, ready to balance the scales of truth, justice, and the divine path.
And here’s an interesting observation, the 15th degree of any sign is the balance point, which holds the full energy of the sign. It is also the number representing divine harmony, spiritual and material balance, and manifestation. From November to April 2019, all of the new moons are at 15 degrees.
November 2018 continues the move towards the big Saturn/Pluto Capricorn conjunction and stellium of 2020, a once in 500+ year alignment. If you add the big group of planets that will also be in Capricorn at the time, it’s probably more like a once in 5000 years event. All of the planets are moving into position over the next 14 months. We are going to see the balancing out of self sovereignty versus corporate rulership over the next two years and probably a rise in entrepreneurs and business startups as more people leave their jobs to pursue their own dreams, gifts, passions, and talents.
The Cancer/Capricorn node change in 2000 saw massive job layoffs (I am a veteran of those) and corporate restructuring with the loss of lifetime employment and job and career security. Many people lost their jobs and had to change careers or start a business. I predict that this new cycle is going to feature people voluntarily leaving the corporate world to pursue their dreams. Most will work from home, that is part of the Cancer North Node and step into self empowered self sovereignty, that is the Capricorn South Node.
We’ll also probably see more emotional healing that will allow new relationships to begin on a less karma-based and more balanced basis with strong boundaries that help us keep our energy flows managed, aligned with our intention, and going in the direction of our manifestation and outcomes.
Your Point of Empowerment this month is self awareness, self sovereignty, and moving from healing into wholeness into congruence. That is the healing path which is our soul mission and life purpose.
Be in your own energy field and power, take a stand for your self sovereignty. Have strong energy boundaries that manage the flow of your energy and allow you to be in control of what you manifest in your life.
Avoid staring at the closing doors and face the new portals of potential that open up for you instead. What has ‘run out of energy road’ is no longer a source of empowerment for you. Ascension is a dynamic process, change is an inevitable consequence of that process. While chaos does happen when paradigms dis-integrate, it can be temporary when we have a strong intention to guide our energy into new dimensions of manifestation that can create joy, peace, prosperity, and congruent harmony out of the chaos.
Buckle up buttercups, it’s going to be a high vibe, wild ride this month. Have a wonderful month.
