To All Those Serve Now & In The Past, For Those Who Gave the Ultimate Sacrifice, We Pause to Honor You & Most of All Say Thank You!

Today is the day we honor,
the noble and the brave,
the men and women who dedicated their lives,
and the sacrifices that they have made.
When America had an urgent need,
they were first to raise their hand,
without thinking twice about it,
they were proud to take a stand.
Some came back from war with battle scars,
others in flagged draped coffins,
even though they have left this world,
their spirits will never be forgotten
They unselfishly and knowingly,
put their lives on the line,
so when you see a Veteran, thank them
cause without them, freedom would have died.

 

Our gratitude and thanks goes out to all the Veterans of the Wars and those still serving till this day. You do so much for us each and every day, it doesn’t seem right to have only one day to pay tribute to you, your families and all you do for us. Every time a uniform is put on or one is seen in public, we should stop, shake your hand and say Thank You! Not just one day but every day of the year, you sacrifice so much for us. A simple Thank You is the least we can do.

May the Goddess bless each and everyone of you, keep you safe from harm and bring you home to us!

Happy Veteran’s Day!

Landmarks of the Craft

LANDMARKS OF THE CRAFT

by “Eli”. Copyright 2000 The Drudic Craft of the Wise (www.thedcw.org).

 

A landmark is a prominent feature used to mark the boundaries of real estate. Therefore, these landmarks of the Craft ar prominent features of
the American Rite, or Druidic Craft of the Wise. Just as departing from the landmarks in real estate signifies that one has departed from that piece of land, so does departure from the landmarks of our Craft signify such a person or organization has departed from the correct defines of the
Craft. Other branches of the Craft sometimes call this their “Law”.

THE LANDMARKS

The landmarks were given to man by The Great God, Pan,
In the dim, dark ages of the past
For the rule and regulation of the wise,
To advise and help them in their troubles
And relations, one with the other,
That all might work and love together.

They are the Bill of Rights of each member,
And the code of operation of the Coven.
And are to be honored by all
Or else they become meaningless and of little use,
And departure therefrom by any person or Coven
Shall be a departure from the rest of the Covens
Which constitute the American Rite.

And they shall be disfellowshipped, they from the rest of us,
And no further communication shall be established
Concerning things of the Craft
With either He or They until
They shall return to the fold of the Craft
In love and cooperation.

For the Gods love the Wise, the Brethren of the Way,
And so should we return that love.
But this can only be done and made manifest by love expressed
In deeds for the Brethren of the Craft,
Not in pride, but in cooperation and sincerity.

THE FELLOWS OF THE CRAFT

Any person, be male or female, who is of good mind
And free to decide for himself in good faith,
Who shall learn of the Craft and its Tenets,
And shall desire to follow the Way,
Shall be permitted to do so,
And none may say him “Nay”.

And the Gods will love him and look after him,
And they shall bless him on all things,
And his needs shall always be satisfied,
As he shall show forth love and affection
For all the brethren and sisters of the Craft,
And he shall obey the Admonishments
Of the Craft as to secrecy and correct living.

And when he shall desire to join the Craft,
And to follow the Way to Perfection,
He shall make his desires known to any member
Of the Priesthood.
And they shall observe his readiness and sincerity,
And shall then administer the rites of
Secrecy, which is sacredness and brotherhood.

But a Priest shall accept the Sister,
And a Priestess the Brother,
As an eternal reminder of
The duality of the Universe.
And a new name and secret mark
Shall be given each new fellow.

By this name, and under this mark,
Shall they be known among the members
Of the Craft, in love and harmony,
And their old name and identity shall not be known
Even among the members of their own Coven,
And none shall inquire for his name or his house
And he shall inquire these of none.

But the Gods have decreed, that in joining the Rite,
Free Will and independence shall not be in jeopardy.
And he shall have the right to follow the Way.
Walking alone if he will it that way,
Or with a Coven of living brethren
If he so shall choose;

And he shall have the right
To withdraw from any coven at any time
Without the need to say why,
If he shall so choose.

And this either for the purpose of joining another
Or to become solitary for his own reasons,
And there will be none to censure;

And he shall have the right to remain
In a certain Coven, and none shall say him “Nay”,
Or to attempt to force him to leave and depart;
Except that should he lose harmony with them
Then they may so decide
And he shall depart.

But no man shall have the right
To speak for the Craft,
And leaving one Coven does not mean
Leaving the Craft, or
Leaving the Way
And each is free, then, or at any time later,
To remain solitary
Or to seek admission to another Coven.

But let him and each other fellow of the Craft
Keep a book, and this shall be of the colors of the Craft,
That it may be readily recognized,
And here he shall keep all the Laws and Landmarks,
And the tenets of the Craft,
That he might not forget,
And if he do forget, that his mind might be
Renewed.

And in this book, all things shall be the mark
Of his own hand, and in ink,
That it shall be long lived.

Let each of the brothers and sisters
Copy what they will from the book,
Providing that they are of sufficient worthiness,
To receive it, and are of sufficient rank,
Or that the writings are of sufficient nature
As pertain to their own rank.

Never suffer this book out of hand or possession,
And never borrow the writings of another
To keep, but merely to copy.
And each shall guard and keep these writings,
As his most sacred possession
And destroy them when danger threatens.

However, should one be of sufficient power,
To remember his past as a wise man,
This book and other Craft artifacts,
May be buried in a stone box
Prepared for them from time to time,
And this in view of immediate death,
And the desire to save them for a future life.

Otherwise, on notice of impending death,
This book should be destroyed by fire,
As well as other things of the Craft,
Which one may posses.

But the wise man will have nothing around
Which has only a Craft use or meaning,
But only things which can be used in daily affairs.

If there is no reason to own a sword,
Then do not own one;
The white wand is just as powerful,
And less distinctive in the minds of the infidels.

If a white wand is too distinctive,
Then any old wand will do for the purpose
Of the ceremonies.

Have no names written and signs drawn
On anything permanently,
When necessary these can be written
In charcoal or chalk
And erased immediately without the telling of tales.

Let the knife have the shape of,
And be stored with the kitchen knives;
Let the cord be seen around the house,
And be used for a vulgar purpose,
In order to fool the infidels.

Never boast, never threaten, never brag
Of your powers; not even to the Craft,
Above all, never harbor ill thoughts toward another
For the power may make it happen for harm;
And never wish ill to anyone.
As it will Occur.

If anyone speaks of the Craft, to down it,
Remember: the Craft needs no defense,
For it has the Father and
All things will be as He wishes
In the end.

THE COVEN

And it shall be that any Fellow of the Craft,
Finding himself in a place where he knows of no Coven,
Or other Fellow of the Craft
Shall have the right, nay, even the duty,
To seek out such a Coven,
Or other Fellow of the Craft
Without censure.

Provided that he shall not reveal secrets to jeopardize
His former Coven or the members of it,
Or the Craft itself.

And two or three Fellows shall have the right
To meet and discuss subjects of Craft interest,
And to help each other along
On the Way to Perfection,
Except that Craft ceremonies
Must be done by the Priesthood.

Any five fellows who shall desire
To form a Coven may do so,
And they shall apply for a charter
To any High Priest or Priestess,
And they shall then select and choose
A man and a woman to lead them.

And their elected leaders shall be ordained by their High Priest,
And they shall choose two more,
A woman to be the deputy; to learn to be a priestess,
And a Scribe for their Coven.

But these shall not be ordained to the Priesthood,
Unless also qualified for another reason.

And this Coven shall belong to the High Priest,
And shall be answerable to him in all their doings,
Because they did owe their Priesthood to him,
And he shall act at all times in their interest
As their Spiritual Father in the Craft
So that he may lead them as they walk
The way to perfection.

But the newly appointed Priesthood,
Should it be lacking in the knowledge and wisdom needed,
For the positions to which they have been set apart
Then it shall be his responsibility as their High Priest,
To lead and instruct them,
Or cause it to be done by another.

But should the new Coven refuse to follow
The teachings and instructions of their Spiritual Father,
Then he may, at his discretion and Judgement,
Recall their charter, and their right to work as a Coven.
For that which one can give he may also retrieve,
And they shall not again meet,
Unless they can find another High Priest,
Who will assume responsibility over them.

It is the bounden duty of the High Priest to preside,
For all things must be presided over by the High Priesthood;

And should any Coven desire to change,
Their allegiance from one High Priest to another,
For any reason, even the loss of harmony,
Or if, in their considered opinion, their Spiritual Father
Is no longer spiritual, or serving the Father
Then they shall be reordained in the Priesthood
By the New High Priest, and this shall then
Have superceded the original ordinations,
And there shall be for them

A new Spiritual Father.

And if any Priest or Priestess, or other member of the Priesthood,
Find themselves in a place wherein there is no Coven for them to lead,
Then it is their bounden duly to try to the extent of their Power
To find Fellows of the Craft
And organize them into a Coven.

And should they find that there are no other Fellows of the Craft,
In that place, but there are some of the same good bend of mind,
It is then their duty to teach them by word and deed,
Until there be sufficient to form a Coven,
And this shall be done under the supervision,
And with the knowledge of their High Priest,
Through which they received their ordination
And their Powers.

And they shall obligate, teach and initiate all the members of their Coven,
And they shall be theirs and they shall be to them
As elder brothers and sisters,
And shall care for them in all their affairs,
And not just at meetings,
For it is in this that the Craft differs
From all man-made institutions.

Should any member be absent, and love of the Priestess is such
That she shall continue to contact them in any manner
And by any method possible,
To tender them her loving care
At all times of sickness or stress.

And should any member move to a far city
The Priestess will continue to care for them
In love, by whatever method is available,
Until such time as they shall,
Of their own free will,
Obligate themselves to another Priestess.

And the Priestess shall at all times remember
That she is the direct representative of the Goddess to her Coven,
And the Priest is the direct representative of
The unknown God, the Father,
And both must act as such at all times.

Yet the Priestess shall have whomever she shall choose
As her Priest, be he of that rank, or qualified to be,
Or else another Fellow, who shall be called
her Magister.

And she must remember at all times that the man provides the power,
For the woman to direct, and so it is,
That the Priest resigns all his power over to her,
Yet it is not his power, nor hers to keep,
It is the power of God to use in the performance
Of the Work.
The Power of God is only lent to be used,
Wisely and Justly.

Both the members of the Priesthood shall remember their Spiritual Father,
At all times with gratitude, love, veneration and cooperation,
keeping constantly in contact, and acting with him in utmost harmony,
For they must always remember that the power
And wisdom which they use,
Comes to them through him.

In the days of old, ere the coming of Christendom,
The Craft was free and open in its ceremonies,
And entire states and nations worshipped the Gods
Freely and without restraint;

But in these unhappy days, we must remain secret,
And hold our rites and ceremonies in secret,
And there are those who will talk, even without torture,
Which loosens any tongue.

Then let it be ordained, heeded and supported by all
That no Coven shall know wherein
The next Coven shall abide, or who its members be,
Except only the Priestess, Magister and Deputy,
And even they shall not remember
Except for good and sufficient reason.

But, and if only, it should be safe, may the covens meet
In some safe place for festivals, and while there,
None may say whence they came, nor give their true names,
Or tell of where or when their meetings are, and
No secret things shall be spoken of
At these festivals for fear of Cowans and Eavesdroppers.

Let each Priestess govern her own Coven in justice and love,
Ever heeding the advice and instructions of her High Priest.
She will ever heed the complaints of the brethren
And strive to settle all differences between them with love.

But there are those who, in pride, will ever strive
To force their will upon others
But these are not necessarily evil
And will think that they do rightly.
Oft they have good ideas and such ideas
Should be discussed in council with their brethren.

But if they will not agree with their brethren,
Or if they say “I will not work under this Priestess”,
Then they shall have the right to withdraw from that Coven,
And work Solitary.
Or if five or more of them shall withdraw,
They shall have the right
To form another Coven under another
Priestess.

Even as it shall be the right of any five or more persons of a Coven
To withdraw, and form a new Coven, for any reason whatever,
But they shall then utterly avoid the old Coven
In all things, as it shall then have ceased to exist for them.

THE BOOK OF SHADOWS

Let every Coven of whatever rank
Keep a record in a book of black and silver,
And it shall contain, first, the Landmarks and Tenets,
Then a collection of Wisdom of the Craft,
The Rites and Ceremonies of the Coven
As well as the History of the Coven,
And its charter empowering it to work.

And a record of every meeting shall be written therein,
Together with a record of the doings of any member thereof
With the other side, or the Father, or
Any other thing which is for the teaching of all,
Even unto the listing of herbs and medicines
Spells and incantations and Rites
Which contain power for the use of man.

This book shall be kept by the Scribe,
And it shall be kept and approved by the Priesthood
And also the High Priesthood, when it shall come,
But no names or Craft secrets shall be written therein
That he Craft should not be betrayed
Should the book be taken by force,
Or slyness, by the infidels.

And when the coven shall disband,
It shall be the duty of the High Priesthood
To secure this book and make suitable disposition
That it might not endanger the Craft
Or any brother within it
As if the Coven were a person or Fellow
And the book were his book,
So let it be burned.

THE PRIESTHOOD

The Mother, The seven Elder Children, and all the worlds,
Draw their power from the Father.

But the children of the Father are like the sands of the sea,
And He has ordained and set apart certain of his older children,
To help and assist Him in caring for the younger children,
And has given them the Power and the Wisdom to do so,
And these children constitute the Priesthood.

The Father will bestow this power upon whom he will, and none may say him
“Nay”
Yet also may the Priesthood choose workers and helpers
And shall share their power with them,
And this is called ordination.

The Power of the Priesthood is that of the Father
And it is love unfeigned and sincere,
Compassion and gentleness and meekness,
Persuasion and long-suffering and kindness,
And there is no authority over the free will of men
Inherent in the Priesthood,
Nor to be assumed by the members of it.

And the Power of the Priesthood is the Power of God,
And the Power of God can never be wielded by an ungodly man,
Nor an evil man; nor the love of God by an unloving man;
And when the man becomes evil, the Power of God is withdrawn from him.

Nor can a member of the Priesthood be inactive,
For inactivity without cause is lack of love for the Father,
And this man’s priesthood shall depart from him
At the end of a year and a day,
For it is truth eternal,
That the thing which is unused will be taken away.

So if any Fellow of the Craft shall desire the Priesthood,
First let him learn to be a leader of men,
For a Priest with no following is no Priest,
And his Priesthood is in vain.

So therefore let the Fellow who would be a Priest
First learn the knowledge and wisdom he will need in the new appointment,
Then let him learn to lead men, and
When he shall either have been selected
As leader for his Coven,
Or when he shall have gathered up a Coven of his own,
Then let him apply for ordination.

And he shall apply to a High Priest, for it is written
That only the higher can ordain the lesser,
That there shall be an unbroken line
Of power and authority extending
Back through the line of ordination,
To the Father Himself.

And no man can ordain his peers,
For the Lord’s House is not a house of confusion,
So let not the line be broken
For it is the cable tow by which
Men are drawn from the lower
Up to the greater;–
An impossibility without it.

And each must work within their line of ordination
In perfect love and perfect trust,
With perfect harmony in all things,
But should they find that they fall out of harmony
With their line of ordination,
Then let him seek another, to be ordained of him
To be their new spiritual Father.

Let the Priesthood be a leadership of fact; not of fancy,
For those who have no following to lead,
Why are they in the Priesthood?

And so it is that they who lose or give away their following,
Or they who through inactivity have lost their power,
Or they who are not in harmony and love with their Spiritual Father;
Shall be retired from a rank to which entitled
Other than by leadership of men.

But this can only be done by he who ordained them,
For only those who give can take away,
Yet each High Priest is responsible that this is done.

Should any Fellow fain the Priesthood, and use it wisely and well,
The Gods have decreed that those who serve them
Shall prosper and grow in this life,
And shall gain eternal perfection
To be freed from the Wheel of Life,
And to become like unto the angels
In that they should be perfect.

For perfection is to be gained by love,
And there is no greater love than to
Lay down one’s life for his brethren
In their service and for their sake,
And the Father will reward them for
Their labor of love, because
He is not unjust.

Energy Gateway Tips for Chaotic Times  Connecting with the Sacred

In these chaotic and often intense times, it’s helpful to remember that positive transformation energies exist alongside the challenging ones. Example: many things in our outer world are in turmoil and uncertain. Despite this, we have an opportunity to regroup our energy and access a higher view with meditation and connecting with the sacred at the core of all things. When we do this, we bring wisdom and perspective to our experience.

On some days, like the upcoming 11/11 energy gateway and 11/18 new moon, we can benefit from additional spiritual openings and insights. New awareness can come to the surface, allowing us to see ourselves more clearly. In those moments, solutions for longstanding issues can come to light. Letting go of the old may be easier too, once we have recognized we are ready to move on and embrace new adventures.

The Sacred and Lightness of Being

Key to your progress now is staying present and conscious to what you are creating. There are many distractions and situations that could get you off track and unfocused – like dramas with people you know and on the world stage. Do your best to self-monitor where you put your energy. The more present you are, the easier it will be to pull yourself back from dramas so you can go within and connect with the sacred. A daily connection with the sacred helps you to bring a lighter energy into everyday things and interactions with others. Your life flows better, you feel more connected, and you have the inner resource to face difficulties.

Intend now that you will use the energies of this month to deepen your connection to the sacred and discover expanded ways to express your higher purpose for this life.

11/11 Next Weekend

Since it’s November with 11/11 next weekend, consider exploring sacred numbers and the symbolic importance the ancients applied in spiritual rituals and in the architecture of temples and pyramids. Chances are, you or your ancestors were alive during one of the great civilizations of Egypt or Greece, having utilized sacred symbols to mark a special day. Invite a knowing of this.

Meanwhile, trust that there is a reason for everything that unfolds, and that you can learn and grow even when you feel stuck and immobile. Use the vast amount of love and light

11:11 Gateway into Full Embodiment

Shanta Gabriel
a message from Archangel Gabriel channeled by Shanta Gabriel

To read more of Shanta’s insight, please visit her website, Messages from Archangel Gabriel

Dear Ones,

From the beginning of time there have been clear moments when the Portals of Awakening open for those who are called. The 11:11 Gateway is a collective, high-vibrational opening to assist the evolution of consciousness on the Earth at this time. The new Light frequencies are enabling this 11:11 Gateway to open for you to move into your original blueprint, your most divine essence, represented through your Light Body, in oneness with All That Is.

We will offer suggestions and visualizations at the end of the message so your own guidance system can empower a Light-filled 11:11 Ceremony if you are unable to join with others. It is highly encouraged that you work with at least one other person in sacred ceremony to honor the 11:11 Portal in Time.

You have been coded within for this awakening moment. It is another step in your evolution, one with great power and support. The Archangels stand at the 11:11 Gateway to hold you in strength and courage. Those who are attracted to this time of Grace, can avail themselves of the opportunity to soar, greatly empowered by the Angelic Realms. This conscious dedicated action, in harmony with Divine Light, will accelerate the evolution of consciousness within your own life and on the planet now.

The powerful energies you have been experiencing in your lives and on the Earth since August have led to activations within your Light Body Field. The Archangels have been diligently involved and are creating greater awareness within you of the field of Light around your heart. As you know, there is a magnetic field around your heart that is in the shape of a Torus.

This sacred geometry creates a regenerating field of energy which you can purposely integrate into your heart chakra. Because of the auspicious nature of the frequencies the Earth is moving into, we have activated your Torus regeneration field to include Divine Love as the main tool of awakening your new life.

This field is the beginning point for your new Merkaba – the light body field that works for your spiritual growth and ascension. This activation strengthens your awareness of the freedom that is possible when you expand your heart energy and open these new high frequencies into the cells of your body.

Divine Union

The 11:11 Gateway opens the way to Divine Union within yourself. The Archangels stand ready to welcome you into the new creative power of exalted awareness. Retraining and guiding the fearful thoughts that may plague your days are only a prayer away. Each prayer raises your vibrational frequencies and could be the one that unleashes the critical mass for Spontaneous Evolution within your life and on the planet. Imagine that your prayer is the turning point – the key that fits the codes for your newly evolved Self.

For the past few months, the downloads of Light have been working to empower your light body. With the 11:11 gateway the integration of that Light Body will now be fully possible. The intentions you hold for this time of your life are paramount.

Remember that at your true core, you are a radiant being of Divinity. This connection is key for your new life unfolding. It is the expanding field that activates the corresponding codes which allow your light body to come into manifest form.

Regardless of the energetic manifestations, you have witnessed in your own life or in the world, this field has been developing. You are literally growing your divine human body from the inside out.

Anchor Love

Before walking through the 11:11 Gateway, know that the love you anchor in your heart is key to the activation of the light body field. Fully integrating Divine Love within your being is creating the resonance that opens the way to fully activating your Divine Human Form.

As you walk through the Archangel’s 11:11 Portal, you will be synchronizing both the higher and lower expressions of yourself to bring forth your most authentic, blended and empowered Divine Self. This is a connection to your Soul that will allow you to more fully access and express yourself with Grace and Ease, to bring forth your highest Soul’s Destiny.

Call in your Angelic support and know that you are being inspired, guided and led through the 11:11 Gateway with full honor and respect for all the work you have given to the world during this time of massive change.

A ritual prayer offering for your own personal ceremony of the 11:11

Divine Presence and the Archangels of Light:

As I prepare to be guided through this 11:11 portal of time, I ask that the Light of Divine Love clear any disharmony within my energy field. I willingly let go of the burdens of old beliefs so I may stand tall and move freely through the gateways to Unity Consciousness and into my new Light Body Field.

Within the spaciousness of my cleared energy field, I ask that it be filled with the power of Divine Love, Harmony and Unity Consciousness. I ask to receive and radiate the strength and courage to embody this Divine Light and ground the presence of Love and Healing energy into the Earth to assist its evolution.

I join with the Angelic forces and the millions of those who work in the Light of God, as we are led through the 11:11 Gateway. I know that as one is lifted up, all are uplifted. I allow new patterns of exalted Light frequencies to engage my human structure in the completion of my crystalline light body – Union within my being with the Divine.

I dance through the Light-filled gateways, feeling your guidance and knowing that loving awareness for new possibilities in my life is being provided in every moment, with every heartbeat. I awaken in your Light and embrace my Soul’s gifts being offered to me now with supreme gratitude. You are giving me the Divine Connection to greater life and I gratefully receive this. I am honored to anchor this Light into the Earth as the presence of Nature awaits my awareness.

Hold me with Love and guide me as I step through this gateway into the higher dimensions, where my most Divine Self awaits me. May I bring greater Life, Peace and Joy through my being and be a blessing for the Earth.

For these and all your blessings, I say Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

So be it, Be it so.

Your Cosmic Weather Report for Saturday, November 11th

Jane Lyle, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

 

Thought for November:

‘Even if something is left undone, everyone must take time to sit still and watch the leaves turn’.

Elizabeth Bury Lawrence (1644-1720)

There’s A Lot Going On!

Without doubt, it’s a busy time in the cosmos. Here are three significant astrological signposts this weekend:

1) Saturn in Sagittarius trines Uranus in Aries for the final time

This refreshing and constructive link between sensible, mature Saturn and lively, inventive Uranus has been a key pattern during 2017. Its first exact appearance was on Christmas Day, 2016.

Saturn and Uranus are dancing around all month long, making this a potentially positive phase for new ideas, product launches, coming up with fresh, imaginative ways to look at old problems, or bring cutting edge ideas into practical reality.

Saturn and Uranus meet at 25 degrees, slowly moving apart until November’s end. If you have planets or points between 24 – 28 degrees in your own horoscope, you’re likely to be in a good place to blend old and new, or traditional and modern in some way that benefits you and others.

2) November’s Moon Wobble

Today, 11th November, we have a Moon Wobble, which is  – technically – when the Sun aligns in one way or another with the Moon’s Nodes. This time, the Sun is in Scorpio, squaring off with the Nodes in Leo and Aquarius.

Moon Wobbles signal upheavals, dramas, and turbulence – emotions can feel stronger, and logical thinking weaker in the days before, and for several days afterwards. So the wobbly window to watch is from around 8th November – 15th November.

It’s not really the right time for taking important decisions that will have a lasting impact on our lives. Our thinking may be out of synch with what’s favourable in the long run. Resolving to stay calm and open-minded is a helpful way to negotiate this bumpy phase. This could require some effort.

And, just as during eclipse seasons, a Moon Wobble also signifies stormy weather, wild weather events, and often highlights the awesome, dramatic powers of nature.

The Moon’s Mean Nodes are currently at 20 degrees of Leo and Aquarius.

 

3) Big Love – Venus conjunct Jupiter in Scorpio

It’s always a special moment when the goddess of love dances with the king of the skies. Here is Venus in Scorpio, meeting with Jupiter for a glimpse of graceful hope and joy in all our romantic and social relationships. And perhaps a little smouldering passion in the shadows too.

Yet, with planets in Scorpio there could be a sting in the tail, jealousy can expand as easily as affection – but not if we’re trying our best to be aware of what’s going on.

This can be a delightful time of serendipity, so do watch for little opportunities or chance encounters – what develops from these could be very favourable to you, or even offer ways to increase your income. Scorpio is a financial sign, and Venus rules money – sometimes Venus in Scorpio likes to say ‘ker-ching’.

Financial affairs linked to foreign investments, overseas projects, or foreign business partners should thrive at this time.

Venus and Jupiter can also be giddily extravagant and hedonistic, so possibly this isn’t the ideal time to go shopping. Why not enjoy some sumptuous art, a pleasurable experience, or a stunning landscape instead?

Venus and Jupiter align between 5 – 7 degrees of Scorpio. If you have planets, points, or angles at those degrees in Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn or Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces in your own personal horoscope you may sense this seductive energy more than most.  If you have planets in Leo or Aquarius, this could be a pivotal moment for you.

Venus and Jupiter align in Scorpio between 11th and 13th November.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, November 9th

Aries

Aries
Aries

There is pleasant intensity in your relationships and interactions today, and there may be helpful resources coming your way, dear Aries. It’s an excellent time to investigate a matter further. However, as the day advances, your focus tends to diffuse. Be wary of giving off mixed signals. The temptation may be to push when someone backs away or to retreat when someone pushes you. This is not the best time for healthy relating patterns, but consider that you might only need some personal space to get in better touch with what you actually want. Plans may not move ahead just ahead, and that’s okay now. You’re in a good headspace overall.

Taurus

Taurus
Taurus

The morning is excellent for getting to the heart of a matter, dear Taurus. Pluto helps to boost your sense of purpose as it forms a harmonious aspect to the Sun in your partnership sector. You may very well feel more purposeful through a significant other now. As the day advances, you need some rest or a break from action. Uncertainties with a friend or co-worker can be vague yet on your mind. While in a general sense you should watch that friendships don’t dissolve through unintentional neglect, if some friendships are changing or ending, this may be due to evolving interests. And, some ups and downs are not something to worry about unless the “downs” are growing to disproportionate levels. Watch also for slip-ups on the job due to distraction or daydreaming.

Gemini

Gemini
Gemini

Relationships are mutually beneficial this morning, dear Gemini. You’re in good shape for applying wisdom and experience to manage a situation. As the day advances, while it’s likely to get busier, it can also be less decisive or clear. This is due to a Mars-Neptune influence that has us questioning our actions. It’s, in fact, a useful slowdown moment – it’s a good time to reassess things or merely take a bit of time to understand what it is you truly want. Consider that it can be all too easy to believe what you want to believe (or fear) about a career or romantic matter today. It is also possible that you’re on the fence about an issue. Even if it’s uncomfortable, try to stay on that fence for the time being. You may very well need some time to process things before moving on.

Cancer

Cancer
Cancer

When it comes to a close relationship, if appreciation is due, it’s a great time to show it this morning, dear Cancer. Through a relationship or accomplishment, you can enjoy a nice confidence boost now. The Moon moves out of your sign this morning and into your resources sector, and you begin to seek out some order and predictability. As the day advances, clarity can fall by the wayside, however, and it’s best to accept this rather than fight it. Sometimes we benefit from some reassessment or slowing down, and this can be the time for doing so. Family or a home matter may involve confusing elements which can undermine your confidence or your overall happiness temporarily. Do what you can to uncomplicate your life by clearing your mind and possibly your schedule.

Leo

Leo
Leo

The Moon in your sign from the morning onward gives you visibility today, dear Leo, and a Sun-Pluto aspect this morning adds extra depth. It can also serve to boost your confidence. It’s a good time for new ideas and accomplishing more than usual. You might decide to rid yourself of something that’s outlived its usefulness since it’s easier to part with things now than it is on another day. As the day advances, you’d benefit from letting go a little, however. Uncertainty is likely, and this tends to heighten the more we push something that can’t be pushed. Money or intimate matters can be confusing now, and it’s best not to bank on something (or lend and borrow) until you have a better sense of what’s happening.

Virgo

Virgo
Virgo

You could discover a project that genuinely absorbs your attention this morning, dear Virgo, and you can make significant progress. Don’t be afraid to show your creative side now. While you’re decisive and clear this morning, as the day advances, you may want to let go of overthinking or, temporarily, of ambitious projects. However, acting on a whim may not have especially desirable results, either, as you may not be entirely in touch with your desires and timing is slightly off. In addition, others may not be clear with you today. Whether deception is intentional or unintentional, or if it involves self-deception, there is a confusing element now that may require a slowdown. It may also be best to avoid significant purchases. The Moon moves into your introspective solar twelfth house this morning, which gives you another hint to take things easy – relax, decompress, and have back at it tomorrow.

Libra 

Libra
Libra

This morning, you may come across information that helps you feel more comfortable, respected, or secure, Libra. Continuing from yesterday, you see your priorities clearly. You’re in good shape to adjust your plans so that they more accurately reflect who you are today. As the day advances, you may want to slow down and allow for some uncertainty. A Mars-Neptune aspect suggests that you don’t have all the answers just for now, and you may have been pushing your desires a little too hard. Energy levels may be below par quite suddenly, but this could also be a signal that you are not as sure as you think you are, and you need to keep things simple for the time being. Taking a short breather can help clarify things for you.

Scorpio

Scorpio
Scorpio

There is continued good energy for you to straighten out your life in some way this morning, dear Scorpio, as you feel compelled to take action to correct things that have been making you unhappy. Improvements made now are likely to be significant and lasting. Later today, take a sudden lack of energy or delay as a sign that your plans need refining, however. Life can feel more complicated, or you may feel a little drained and lacking purpose temporarily. Adjustments may need to be made to a creative project, or delays in a romantic relationship need to be dealt with and accepted. This is a time for reflecting a little before moving your plans forward.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius
Sagittarius

This morning, you enjoy continued sharp focus, dear Sagittarius. You might gain new and valuable insight into a money or business matter, or you get a fresh look at an old problem that empowers you. Later today, however, a Mars-Neptune aspect points to the need to let some things go. You could feel a little frustrated with stop-and-go energy that doesn’t suit your style. You prefer to have everything out in the open, but the day asks you to adopt a “wait and see” approach. You might find it challenging to depend on others’ actions or words, or some insecurity might keep you at home or in limbo instead of out and about. Allow yourself the extra rest you need, if this is possible, as you simply require a breather.

Capricorn

Capricorn
Capricorn

You can be quite persuasive early today, dear Capricorn. You have more influence than usual. You’re in a good position to feel stronger through your connections as well as for investigating a matter further and gaining some critical insight. As the day advances, things seem less certain, and this suggests it’s better to rest and reflect than to push ahead. Be more precise than usual in any business or even personal communication to avoid overcommitting. Take advantage of a Saturn-Uranus aspect coming into influence that helps you feel more confident about bringing your ideas to fruition, particularly related to home and family.

Aquarius

Aquarius
Aquarius

The morning is excellent for investigating a matter further, dear Aquarius, and it makes sense, as a result, to tackle the harder jobs or to manage an issue that requires more focus than usual. You have a compelling desire to resolve problems and little patience for waiting things out. However, as the day advances, some uncertainty is likely, and it’s best to avoid pushing forward against resistance. Some reflection is in order. Money matters can be unclear or complicated temporarily, particularly those connected to travel or educational pursuits. Avoid signing contracts or making solid travel plans just for the time being. Indecision about where you are going in a general sense is likely now. However, you benefit from a Saturn-Uranus influence active this week that gives you a general sense of progress.

Pisces

PIsces
Pisces

If you’ve traveled a little off course in pursuit of a long-term goal or dream, dear Pisces, circumstances are such this morning that you clearly see what you can improve, and you’re on it! As the day advances, it’s best to take your foot off the accelerator as a Mars-Neptune challenge favors slowing down and getting in better touch with our desires before going forward. You may, in fact, all too easily draw and attract situations, people, or things that drain you or leave you feeling confused. It can be challenging to feel purpose or direction for an extended period now. Just when you possess the drive to go towards something, it either becomes elusive, or you question whether you want it. Use this time for creative instead of practical activities as much as possible.

 

If You Were Born Today, November 9

You are an articulate, sensitive, and intuitive person. You can also be quite stubborn! Your mind is such that you absorb a lot of diverse information and you can be a jack of all trades. You are a true problem solver. Your sarcastic sense of humor can be biting at times. Not everyone knows that it hides a sensitive, self-protective soul. You can easily get yourself into a rut because of your rather fixed, stubborn nature. Famous people born today: Lou Ferrigno, Carl Sagan, Dorothy Dandridge, Spiro Agnew, Anne Sexton, Analeigh Tipton, Scottie Thompson.

Your Birthday Year Forecast:

With the Sun and Moon in harmony in your Solar Return chart, the year ahead should be satisfying and balanced overall. You are in comfortable demand and personally popular, and you are able to achieve a decent balance between work and play; personal and professional life. For the most part, you are on top of your game this year, and positive connections with others can be made fairly easily. With the ability to handle your emotions successfully, there is less stress on both your mind and body. Your self-confidence and positive attitude will reward you!

Jupiter transits conjunct your Sun this year, expanding your opportunities and boosting your confidence. This transit brings more awareness of moral issues and long-term goals, as well as a stronger than usual desire to improve and learn. This is a feel-good transit that boosts your popularity. Optimism is with you, and you are able to attract fortunate circumstances into your life as a result. Problems are easier to resolve this year. You are more sociable and might meet especially helpful people during this period. Travel opportunities are more likely. Your broader perspective on matters this year keeps you from getting lost in details or overly frustrated by everyday stresses and strains.

This is a strong period for strengthening and supporting others as well as for building trust. Mutually beneficial relationships are in focus. This can be a pleasantly ambitious period.

There can be helpful interactions with superiors or with older or more experienced people during this period, and benefits can come as a result. There can be a choice to structure, limit, or simplify your life in a significant way that leads to major improvements in your life.

Pleasing circumstances surrounding your love life, finances, and creative pursuits are in store this year. You are more generous, and others return the favor. You might receive financial backing or special gifts in the period ahead. You seek a little more from your love life and you are likely to receive it. Some of you could fall in love this year, or existing relationships are enhanced. Adventure-seeking is a theme.

Developing existing businesses is highly favored this year. You’re in excellent shape for editing, refining, and overhauling your work and projects. Long-term alliances can be made this year. This is a potentially excellent year for making prosperous connections.

This is an excellent period for enjoying new opportunities, experiences, and perspectives. Your faith increases and you seek out more meaning from your life. You’re in good shape for staying on track and meeting your responsibilities as well, but you need to make extra time for downtime. Useful contacts can be made during this period.

2017 is a Number Three year for you. Ruled by Jupiter. This is a year of sociability. It is a friendly time when you find it natural and easy to enjoy life and other people. The focus is on personal freedom, reaching out to others, making new friends, and exploration. You are more enthusiastic and ready for adventure than you are in other years. It’s likely to be a rather lighthearted year when opportunities for “play” time are greater than usual. It’s also a favorable year for expressing your creativity. Advice – reach out and connect but avoid scattering your energies.

2018 will be a Number Four year for you. Ruled by Uranus. This is a year of work and development. It’s “nose to the grindstone” time. It’s a time to pay special attention to practical matters, and it’s not a time to be lazy or especially gregarious. Sometimes, it can be a year that feels hard, monotonous and routine, and/or lonely. Positive new relationships are often not formed in a Four personal year. However, it can be a wonderful year for building, development, and laying a solid foundation for future successes. Advice – get yourself organized, work to build your resources, keep busy.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, November 10th

Claire Petulengro, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

 

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)
Close ones are pressuring you because they can see that a certain situation is making you unhappy. All you can see and feel is the anxiety it is causing. Use today to step away and look at the bigger picture.

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)
The way you look at life is changing and many of you bulls may in fact be thinking of making some of your most dramatic moves you’ve made in years. You won’t be doing it alone though, which makes this week’s events all the more interesting.

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)
Some of the signs really do seem to be speaking for the sake of it. Try not take what others say too much to heart, especially if you know it has been said on impulse. Group events make your career a more interesting place to be.

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)
Try distressing your life by de-cluttering. Many of you Cancerians have been gathering things you don’t really need in the home. Getting rid of them can help you see what you really need materially and emotionally.

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)
You have gone through so many emotions that you are finding it hard to know which are real and which you are imagining. Children bring clarity and wise words. Sometimes it takes a fresh mind to see what older faces can’t.

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)
You may not realise it, but subconsciously you have been building a base and it’s a good one. You didn’t know why you felt more secure, but when you look around today you will see why. You will also see what you no longer need.

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)
Could a friendship be something more? This is something your sign is likely to have asked themselves before in the past. Take your time. Patience will give you true answers.

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)
You say you want changes, but do you know what these changes are? You’ve been listening to what others tell you that you need. Use the wise attitude of Saturn, he is offering to help you find the answers in your own heart.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)
There’s an urgent need in your chart to make extra funds. You are trying to find ways to make your options more flexible. You can and you will, you just have to relax if you want to convince others you are worth trusting in.

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)
I know you are a sign who needs to be loved unconditionally. However, your communication skills need working on. Listening when others talk is the best starting point you will find.

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)
Do you think you have been acting spoilt? Or do you think you needed to be this dramatic to get the attention of those around you? I think you need to stop and wait for others to make the next move.

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)
Positive anything is better than a negative nothing. Stay away from people and situations that give nothing back, before you become addicted to this pain.

 

Your Personal Daily Tarot Card

The Hermit



The Hermit denotes a need to have some space between you and the everyday hustle and bustle of our busy world. The Hermit needs to retreat. Indeed, happiness for The Hermit requires seclusion, freedom from material wants, and time for intense introspection. The answers The Hermit needs cannot be found in our physical world. The truths he seeks are internal, spiritual, and the distraction of a well developed social life can only impede his quest for his personal truths. Still, although not anything remotely resembling extroversion, The Hermit does sometimes need to share time with others; so he can both learn and teach, guide and be guided. The Hermit’s time spent amongst people depletes his energy rapidly. To avoid mental and physical overload he has to retreat from social settings quickly.

Your Personal Daily Love Tarot Card

The Fool

You deserve a partnership that deepens as you get to know each other. Wait for the person who has risen above commitment immaturity if commitment is your desire. The Fool reminds us that dating someone is not a mistake. It is falling in love and marrying them if it is not right. If your long-term relationship is encountering a difficult patch, now is the time to work together to rebuild.

Your Personal Daily Erotic Tarot Card

The Judgement

The Judgement card indicates that you’ve had some sexual hang-ups in the past, but you’re working toward getting over them. This is a period of transition, and although you’re doing the work, you may not be getting the exact results you desire. Forgive yourself for past missteps in order to take a sexual step forward today. Being afraid to express your true erotic self can even effect other areas of your life, so getting beyond your sexual inhibitions translates into a happier overall existence.

Psychic Tip of the Day

NEW SURPRISE
Your first big shock of the new year has arrived. It could be a welcome relief, but you may not know what to do with it. Were you expecting company?

Your Daily Charm

Today’s Meaning:
A course of events that cannot be altered has been set in motion within this aspect. Accept whatever happens in the near future and do not waste your time fretting about it–you can do nothing.

General Description:
This was a favorite charm in Egypt, worn in order to frustrate magicians, sorcerers and evil wishers from bewitching the wearer and stealing the soul from the heart; for it was the general belief that if the soul left the heart, the body would soon fade away and perish. The ancient Egyptians also believed that, after death, the heart was taken, in the underworld, and weighed against the symbols of the law; if found perfect, it was restored to the body, which at once came to life again and enjoyed everlasting felicity.

Crack the Cookie

The Wisdom of Buddha

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.

On Thursday, November 9th, We Celebrate the Goddess Epona

Epona

The Celtic Horse Goddess

Areas of Influence: Epona was the Celtic Horse Goddess whose worship spread to Britain and Rome from Western Europe.

Her name means “Divine mare” in Gaulish. Despite being a Gaulish word most of the surviving inscriptions and texts that mention this Goddess are in Latin.

The Roman cavalry had shrines dedicated to her she became almost like a patron emblem of certain factions of the Roman army.

Her popularity did not end there it was common to find small shrines in stables eventually she was so popular that a temple dedicated to her in Rome.

There was also a Roman Festival to honour her which was celebrated on 18th December.

The mare was an ancient symbol of fertility, this has lead to suggestions that she was an early Mother Goddess figure, whose role was later reduced to protector of horses.

Her cornucopia and the basket of fruit she carried provide further support for her role as a fertility Goddess.

This Goddess is often liked to both Rhiannon in Wales and Macha in Ireland due to their shared association with Horses.

There are no surviving Gaullish myths dedicated to this Goddess.

She was the bestower of sovereignty in Celtic kingship rites.

The Celtic horse Goddess has been linked to the White Horse at Uffington and Lady Godiva.

Origins and Genealogy: There are no accounts of her parentage or suggestions that she married and had children.

Strengths: Protector especially of horses and horsemen.

Weaknesses: As the information about this Goddess comes mainly from archaeological finds there is little information on this Goddess’s personality.

Epona’s Symbolism

She is depicted as a young Goddess, either sitting side saddle on a horse or feeding mares and foals food from a cornucopia or fruit basket.

There are also several images showing her riding a horse and cart.

Sacred Animals: Horses, mules, donkeys, dogs and birds.

Sacred Plants: Garlands of roses were used to decorate her shrines. incense and wine was offered.

Archetypes
No specific Archetype has been assigned to this Goddess as she has no distinct personality.

She could be seen as a Child of Nature due to her link with horses and dogs. I dismissed this option however as this Archetype conjures up images of wild animals rather than domesticated ones.

Thursday – Jupiter’s (Thor’s) day

⦁ Middle English – thursday or thuresday
⦁ Old Norse– thorsdagr – Thor’s day
⦁ Old English– thunresdæg – Thunder’s day
⦁ Latin – dies Jovis – “Day of Jupiter”
⦁ Ancient Greek – hemera Dios – “day of Zeus”

The name is derived from Old English and Middle English Thuresday (with loss of -n-, first in northern dialects, from influence of Old Norse Þorsdagr) meaning “Thor’s Day”. Thunor, Donar (German, Donnerstag) and Thor are derived from the name of the Germanic god of thunder, Thunraz, equivalent to Jupiter in the interpretation romance.

In most Romance languages, the day is named after the Roman god Jupiter, who was the god of sky and thunder. In Latin, the day was known as Iovis Dies, “Jupiter’s Day”. In Latin, the genitive or possessive case of Jupiter was Iovis/Jovis and thus in most Romance languages it became the word for Thursday: Italian giovedì, Spanish jueves, French jeudi, Sardinian jòvia, Catalan dijous, and Romanian joi.

This is also reflected in the p-Celtic Welsh dydd Iau.

The astrological and astronomical sign of the planet Jupiter is sometimes used to represent Thursday.

Since the Roman god Jupiter was identified with Thunor (Norse Thor in northern Europe), most Germanic languages name the day after this god: Torsdag in Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish, Hósdagur/Tórsdagur in Faroese, Donnerstag in German or Donderdag in Dutch. Finnish and Northern Sami, both non-Germanic (Uralic) languages, uses the borrowing “Torstai” and “Duorastat”. In the extinct Polabian Slavic language, it was perundan, Perun being the Slavic equivalent of Thor.

There are a number of modern names imitating the naming of Thursday after an equivalent of “Jupiter” in local tradition. In most of the languages of India, the word for Thursday is Guruvar- var meaning day and guru being the style for Bṛhaspati, guru to the gods and regent of the planet Jupiter. In Thai, the word is Wan Pharuehatsabodi—referring to the Hindu deity Bṛhaspati, also associated with Jupiter. En was an old Illyrian deity and in his honor in the Albanian language Thursday is called “Enjte”. In the Nahuatl language, Thursday is Tezcatlipotōnal meaning “day of Tezcatlipoca”.

Thursday’s Witchery

 

Today is the day for prosperity work of all kinds. It can also be used for healing work, whether that is a physical healing of an illness or an emotional healing. Also remember that you have to follow up your healing work and prosperity magick and physical action.

I can’t tell you the number of times I have met new witches who complain to me that their prosperity spell or “I need a better job” spell did not work as they expected. They’ll ramble on and on about how much time and money they spent working their magick….but, alas, they had no glorious manifestation of wealth or fabulous job that suddenly dropped out of the sky and landed in their laps.

Then, when I gently ask them, “Did you enchant your resume or application when you filled it out? Did you do a little confidence-boosting spellwork when you went to apply for the job or went to the interview?” typically they give me a blank, confused stare.

Nine times out of ten, their response is, “You mean I have to go out and actually look for the job too?” Um, yes, my dear, you certainly do. Magick follows the path of least resistance, which means it’s going to manifest along the simplest, quickest route. Get out there and hit the pavement. See what you can find. Times are tough and competition for good jobs is fierce, so you need whatever edge you can get. For folks like us, we’re going to get the edge by using our magick and our spellcraft.

Thursdays have such a rich source of magick for us to draw upon that, honestly, the sky is the limit. This is the day associated with the gods of the sky and heavens, after all. Get to know these deities and add their wisdom and magick into your days

Thursday is the day of Jupiter, the largest of the planets and said to be the most powerful. Spellcasters would be wise to use this day for attempting wealth, success and prosperity spells.

Thursday is also associated (in Greek mythology) to Thor – Thor’s day – and some even say that Jupiter and Thor are one in the same. Both are strong and powerful, yet wise and just. Try a small prayer to Jupiter before commencing any ritual on Thursday as a sign of respect. This is the proper day of the week to perform spells and rituals involving luck, happiness, health, legal matters, male fertility, treasure, wealth, honour, riches, clothing, money, desires, business, group pursuits, joy, laughter, and expansion.

Thursday Is Ruled By Jupiter

 

Thursday is a Jupiter day. Here is the day of the week for prosperity, abundance, and good health. Thursday is “Thor’s day.” This Norse god gave the day his name and many of his attributes, including strength and abundance. Some suggestions for Thursday enchantments would include: Wearing a regal and royal shade of blue to see how it affects your mood and your magic. Other colors for the day include purple and green

Carrying a turquoise tumbled stone in your pocket to draw a little protective and healing energy your way

Incorporating honeysuckle blossoms and cinquefoil foliage into prosperity charms

Calling on Thor for abundance, or on the Roman god Jupiter for the ability to peacefully referee a fight

Adding a few oak leaves—which are sacred to these Thursday gods—to your charms to see how much better your spell works out

Casting a charm with wheat stalks for prosperity, and calling on Juno Moneta to bring wealth into your life

Baking up some whole wheat bread and blessing it for abundance. Be sure to thank the gods for your family and your good health.

Custom Made Magick for Thursday

 

Well, let’s see … abundance, prosperity, and good health has been our focus for this day. Now how about a little more information and ideas for working practical magick with one of our fascinating featured deities of the day?

Juno was the Queen of Heaven. As the matriarch of the gods, she guarded over women in every aspect of their lives. Juno was thought to have renewed her virginity every year. Similar to other goddess stories, Juno was a triple goddess-a virgin who belonged to no one; a mother and woman in the prime of her life, sexual and mature; and also a crone, powerful, wise, and sometimes vengeful (as she made her husband’s many mistresses’ lives either fairly unhappy or short).

There are references to an early all-female triad of goddesses known as the Capitoline Triad. This triad consisted of Juventas, Juno, and Minerva. To the Greeks, they would have been known as Hebe, Hera, and Hecate. Ultimately the triad became Juno, Minerva, and the male Jupiter. Jupiter, another of Thursday’s gods, was Juno’s consort.

As mentioned earlier, Juno, in her aspect as Juno Moneta, was the patron and protector of the Roman mint. The coins produced at her temples were blessed by Juno and imbued with her powers of abundance and prosperity. In another of her aspects as Juno Augusta, Juno was the goddess of an abundant harvest.

In addition, another of Juno’s magickal correspondences is the semiprecious stone malachite. Malachite is a beautiful green-banded stone that was also called the “peacock stone” in Italy. The peacock was a sacred animal of Juno’s, and the magickal energies of malachite encourage health and prosperity.

Celebrating 365 Days of Legends, Folklore & Spirituality for November 9th – Loy Krathog, Lord Mayor’s Day

November 9th

Loy Krathog, Lord Mayor’s Day

 

Loy Krathog is the traditional wishing festival of Thailand. 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 hiis mayoral mace. The festivities are usually followed by somewhat raucous behavior and of course the usual drinking and feasting.

 

May The Goddess Shine Her Love, Blessings & Most of all Her Protection Down On You & Yours This Thursday Morn’!

Your Astrology for Thursday, November 9th

The Moon is in Cancer until 7:29 AM, after which the Moon is in Leo.
The Moon is void from 12:14 AM to 7:29 AM.
The Moon is waning and in its Waning Gibbous phase.
The Full Moon occurred on the 4th in the sign of Taurus and the Last Quarter Moon will occur tomorrow.

 

Moon in Leo

The Moon is traveling through Leo today. Shine and be proud! You rule right now!

The Moon in Leo speaks to our “inner child”. It’s a warm, generous, whole-heartedly loving position. Pride keeps us from pettiness, but it can also prevent us from opening up and revealing how we are truly feeling. We are on stage, our feelings are grand, and we appreciate some drama in our lives. We are easily threatened by anything that seems to be impersonal. This is a time when we seek attention–when we want to stand out for our special qualities. It’s a strong time for romance and any creative activity as well.

The Moon in Leo generally favors the following activities: Creative activities, activities involving children, generous undertakings, undertakings in which personal recognition is desired, and risk-taking.

 

What’s in Store by the Stars

November 9, 2017

The Moon continues its transit of Cancer until 7:30 AM EST, after which it transits Leo. This morning, the Sun perfects its sextile to Pluto. We may be discovering new ways of looking at problems or life in general. We feel stronger and enjoy the empowered feeling that making changes and improvements brings. Opportunities to find or renew something we had lost, and to gain a stronger sense of personal power, can emerge now. This can be an exceptionally resourceful time when we feel perfectly capable of overcoming obstacles and meeting challenges. There can be an opportunity to rebuild or reform a project and to work on self-improvement. This evening, however, Mars forms a quincunx to Neptune, and we can feel a little stuck – uncertain what we truly want and where to head – until we get in touch with the spiritual or emotional needs we may have been overlooking.

The Sky This Week for November 9 to 12

Venus shines brilliantly, a variable star triples in brightness overnight, and much more in the sky this week.
By Richard Talcott

Thursday, November 9

Mars stands out in the eastern sky before dawn this week. The magnitude 1.8 Red Planet rises three hours before the Sun and appears 15° high as twilight starts to paint the sky. It resides among the background stars of Virgo, and this morning it passes 1.8° south of 3rd-magnitude Gamma (γ) Virginis. Unfortunately, the view through a telescope proves disappointing — Mars spans just 4″ and shows no detail.

Friday, November 10

Last Quarter Moon arrives at 3:36 p.m. EST. It rises in the eastern sky around 11:30 p.m. local time and reaches its peak in the south around sunrise tomorrow morning, by which time it appears slightly less than half-lit. Throughout this period, our satellite resides among the background stars of western Leo the Lion.

Saturday, November 11

Although Jupiter passed on the far side of the Sun from our perspective in late October, it already is climbing into view before dawn. To find it, head outside about a half-hour before sunrise and locate dazzling Venus. This morning, Jupiter appears 1° directly below its sibling. The gas giant planet shines some two magnitudes fainter than Venus but still stands out through binoculars against the bright twilight. Two mornings from now, these planets pass within 0.3° of each other in the finest planetary conjunction of 2017.

Sunday, November 12

A lone bright star now hangs low in the south during early evening. First-magnitude Fomalhaut — often called “the Solitary One” — belongs to the constellation Piscis Austrinus the Southern Fish. From mid-northern latitudes, it climbs 20° above the horizon at its best. How solitary is Fomalhaut? The nearest 1st-magnitude star to it, Achernar at the southern end of Eridanus the River, lies some 40° away.

Just another moment and I will go back to work, I swear….

There was an interesting comment in the back and I figured when I started talking about the Goddess I would open up a can of worms. It’s not a bad comment or a rude comment but we being humans are curious and this individual was curious. They wanted to know if I had seen the Goddess what did she look like, can you describe her, they would like to know.

Yes, I can describe her and I can also describe the circumstances leading up to my seeing her. I can also describe how she healed me and made me whole again. I hope you are ready for a boring story up to the point where I do meet the Goddess. But let me say one thing, I can describe to you how the Goddess looked and appeared to me but I don’t believe you will see her the same way. We all have our own set of beliefs on how the Divine looks. We grew up with that embedded in our brains. You could have been influenced by your parents, if you are coming to the Craft from another religion, you could have been influenced by that religion. I sincerely believe that no two people will see the Divine in the same matter or form. We all have a preconceived idea of what the Divine looks like. For the men, the Divine might not appear to them as female instead the Divine might appear to them as a man. No matter how many times I tell you my story, you will never see the Divine as I did. I am not saying I am special or anything like that, I am going back to the preconceived idea of how the DIvine would look and appear. Is she/he real? Very much so.

Now on with my boring story……I believe everyone knows I have an all metal back. I don’t know what I had done or how it had even happened, but I had a very large chunk of bone floating in my back. That fragment had floated over to my spinal cord. I couldn’t walk, I couldn’t move the lower part of my body. My mouth still worked because I has in horrible pain. The bone was in a very unusual spot. If they operated, I might not ever walk again. If they left it, it was for sure I would never walk again. I would live in torment and pain the rest of my life. I have been active all my life and the thought of being in a wheel chair, killed me. The pain was getting more and more unbearable and I started to pray for the Goddess to take me home. Let me die, I didn’t want to live if the life I faced was to be my new reality. I repeated it over and over again, let me die, please, let me die. The pain medicine wasn’t working and I made my mind up I was going to be a vegetable. I passed out from the pain while I was being put on an MRI table. I don’t know if I died or what happened. All I remember is the darkest, nothing but sheer black. It was as if I was floating, just gently drifting along, so peaceful. As I slowly drifted along, the pain started to ease and I thought I had got my wish to die. I do remember seeing blue such as in the sky. Then out of the corner of my left eye I could see a hug tree, till this day I assume it is the World Tree. In front of the tree appeared a beautiful lady. She had a blue flowing gown on, one which the end of it went on and on forever floating and swaying in the sky. She had long blonde hair, some of it was braided and from around her head was rays or more like an aura shining brightly. Her skin was glowing, she looked like she had star dust glistening on her face. She was purely magickal and you could feel her power. It was her power of love I felt. I tried to speak but I couldn’t. She put her long, slender fingers to her lips and made the hush sign. I had so many questions but I couldn’t speak. But she did speak and it was as if she read my mind. She told me she was my Divine Mother. My pain had ended and I would now be at peace. I thought I had died but she told me no, it wasn’t my time. I would be sent back and I was to remember the gift she had given me and remember the commitment I had made to her. I remember her gently gliding her hands over my eyes and I drifted off to sleep. When I woke, the doctors has been trying to revive me. So apparently I did pass. I woke with tears streaming down my face. I didn’t want to leave her. Her essence was the purest form of love anyone come ever feel. The safety and comfort of just being in her presence, why would anyone want to come back?

After all the drama had settled down, the doctors brought in a portable X-ray and took images of where the bone fragment was suppose to be. I thought something strange because they brought in another one. The doctors compared the before and after images of my spinal column, there was no fragment to be found. It was gone. It wasn’t a small fragment either, it was one big enough that had to be removed by surgery or by other means. No scar could be found, no fragment, no nothing. How do you explain that? I believe some might call it a miracle. I call it being healed by the Goddess’ good graces and love for me.

What I described was my own personal experience. When your time comes, you will have a totally different experience. The Divine does not want to scare us, that is why they appear to us in images we are familiar with. I had imagined what the Goddess would look like since I was a child and she appeared to me in that image. It was an image I was familiar with and associated with love, kindness and goodness.

I know certain religions has images that are their image of the Divine. Everyone imagines their Divine looking one way. The Divine is the Divine and will appear to us in any form they like. The Goddess shaped and formed us our of star dust in their image. Deep in our subconcious, we recognize these Divine Beings as being just that, Divine. But the seed for us to recognize them was planted a very long time ago.

I can’t convince anyone of their being a Higher Power than ourselves. All I know and can tell is what I experienced. Now if you want to talk about seeing my Deity, that might take a while.

 

 

Lady of the Abyss

Taking a break from the Store…..

I took a break from double checking the inventory and putting it on the site for a moment. I use to love to put the merchandise on the site because I had Mystie with me. We would go through the items, items that we wished we could afford, of course. You don’t realize how much you miss someone till something like just inventorying merchandise brings back those happy memories. But I know she is in a much better place now and that eases the pain a little.

The store that we built, we built for each of you. We had members over the years tell or ask us where they could get this or that. After listening to the needs of our members, we decided it was time we acted. We opened the Magickal Necessities. It started out small but it has grew to a point where it is now unbelievable. I believe we now carry everything a witch could possibly want. I was worried about the prices but I had Lady Beltane tell me that our herbs needed to be higher. She has found a place on the internet and their herbs were double ours. That made me feel good. When we opened the store, it was never our intention to rob anyone. We just wanted to provide you with the items, herbs or whatever you needed.

I will also be honest with you. After we saw that the store could make a little profit (nothing we are going to get rich off of, but….) it gave us hope on how to keep our expenses met without having to beg and plead for money for you. I know you have heard me say, “I don’t like asking you for money” and that is the honest to Goddess’ truth, I don’t. I would rather have my tongue pulled out of my head than ask anyone for anything. As those who know me, know I am independent, self-driven and what get me in trouble most often is I am ambitious. Some say too ambitious. But I don’t believe the WOTC would have been around this long if I hadn’t been and without the aid and assistance from the Goddess. The store pays for our organizations to operate, we have many sites, it pays the utilities here, the phone bill, the lights, it pays the expenses on running everything we do. So by supporting the store, you are helping the WOTC to survive.

We would also like to see our sells increase because we are revisiting a dream we once had. I know some of you know about it, while others don’t because I don’t speak of it anymore. But that is going to change, it is something we have all dreamed of and it is not only for you fur also us, I am being truthful again. We dreamed of buying several areas of land. We wanted to turn that land into a Pagan retreat. A place we could all come to meet, fellowship and worship our Goddess or any other of the Divine you chose. Mystie’s passing has made me remember this dream. We looked at land, planned out where we would put the pavillions, where the RV’s and tents would go, where we hold our celebrations, we had it all laid out. You know the funny thing, the land we looked at is still sitting there. It is like it is waiting for us. This Pagan retreat, as I call it, would be open all year. If you happened to be traveling through this area, you could stop, meet with us and perhaps do a ritual or two while you were here. Then when the Sabbats occurred, what a joyous celebration there would be. After thnking about all the dreams we had, I now want to make them become a reality. I don’t want that dream to die with Mystie. It was my idea as well as hers. I honestly believe we can achieve this goal now.

Just imagine, hundreds, even thousands of Pagan gathered in one spot to celebrate with liked mind people. Let your imagination run wild. The spot we ave picked is beautiful, lush green fields to run through, a small brook which leds to a good size lake filled with fish. Imagine the peace and contentment from being within individuals like yourself. Not having to watch every word you said nor action you made, it would be pure freedom. I would love to see this dream come to fruition during my time on this plane. I would like to think the WOTC left behind something that would benefit future generations to come.

Now I have laid out our intentions for the proceeds from the store.. Now you know why it is important that the store survives and thrives. You can help us by making purchases, or just telling someone we exist. Word of mouth sometimes works much better than advertising and I have to admit it is much cheaper, lol!

You know our dream and our plans, let them become your dreams and your plans also. Stand beside us and suppport us.

Lady of the Abyss

Had an unexpected shipment (but very welcome) of merchandise come in……

No, we haven’t run off. It is just going to take a little extra time to list everything on the net for the store. We have received everything from a new line of Athames/Bolines, we are adding to new incense powders and a beautiful new offering bowls. So if you need us, we will at the store, working our little fingers to the bone. Also, don’t forget about this month’s beautiful customer’s appreciation gift, the chime candleholder. Got a minute, hop over and check all the new goodies out.

 

Remember for all your magickal needs, think Magickal Necessities!

On Tuesday, November 7th, We Honor the Goddess Juno

Juno

Roman Goddess

Areas of Influence: Juno was the Goddess of marriage, pregnancy and childbirth.

She was the Queen of the Gods and part of the Capitoline triad that also included Minerva and Jupiter.

This Deity was an embodiment of the traditional female roles of wife and mother.

One of her titles was Lucino (meaning light) as she helped to bring children into the light of this world at birth. She was also said to set and strengthen a child’s bones.

She was also Goddess of conception, a Goddess to be called upon in labour and one who helped settle disagreements between spouses.

Juno protected the finances of the Roman people. In this role she was the patron Goddess of the royal mint.

Before she absorbed many of Hera’s characteristics several scholars suggest that she was a Maiden Goddess.

The Month of June was named after her and it was considered the most favourable month to get married in.

Her other claim to fame is that as an archetypal figure she appears in Shakespeare’s play The Tempest.

Each Roman woman was said to have her own Juno which represented her female spirit.

Origins and Genealogy: According to later Roman myths she was the sister and consort of Jupiter and the mother of Mars, Hebe and Vulcan.

Mars was conceived when the Goddess was imoregnated by a flower.

Strengths: Leadership and a loyal wife.

Weaknesses: Jealousy and vindictiveness.

 

Symbolism

This Roman Goddess had a more warlike nature than Hera and was often depicted in a goat skin coat that was favoured among Roman soldiers.

She was also able to throw lightning bolts like her husband Jupiter.

Sacred Birds: Geese and peacocks.

Sacred Plants: The wild fig tree.

Festivals: A special ceremony was dedicated to her in the home to celebrate the beginning of each lunar month.

Her main festival, the Matronalia was held on 1st March. On this day married woman asked their husbands to give them money to make offerings to the Goddess.

A smaller celebration known as the Nonae Caprotinae took place on 7th July.

Greek and Etruscan Equivalents: The Goddess Hera was the Greek equivalent to Juno.

Uni was the Etruscan Goddess who shared many similarities with this Deity.

 

Juno’s Archetypes

The Queen

In the positive aspect the Queen represents the regal feminine. Using her benevolent authority to protect others. This Archetype can signify the power of women who rule over anything from the office to the home environment.

The shadow aspect reflects the tendency to become arrogant, controlling and aggressive when challenged.

As Queen of the Roman pantheon Hera has power and authority. Like her Greek counterpart, Hera, she misuses her position when she feels threatened.

 

The Companion

This stereotype is loyal, tenacious and unselfish in their service to a more figure of authority. In this relationship she provides the with emotional and practical support to enable her partner to concentrate on his mission. This was long considered the traditional role of the wife.

The shadow Companion manifests as betrayal, breaking confidences and identity loss through constantly suppressing your own needs.

Despite her husbands numerous affairs Juno remained loyal to her husband.

 

How To Work With These Archetypes

The Queen:

The Queen asks whether you rule over your domain fairly, protecting every body’s rights and feelings.

Or do you need to look at patterns of trying to control others to protect your own emotional and personal position? If this is one of your patterns, you need to ask yourself what are you afraid of losing and where does that fear stem from ?

The Companion:

Do you have a long history of playing the loyal Companion to other people? Are you happy with this role or do you feel that the partnership is unequal and resent the fact that your needs are not being met? How do you express this resentment?

The shadow aspect of the Companion suggests you look at ways at achieving a better balance. Begin to rediscover who you are and what you want in life and allow time to follow your own interests.

Magickal Days of the Week – Tuesday

Named for the Norse god Tyr, who was a deity of heroism and combat, Tuesday is a very martial sort of day – color associations include bright red and oranges, as well as warrior-like metals such as iron and steel.

The ancient Romans called this day Martis, after the warrior god Mars – other deities associated with Tuesday include Ares, the Morrighan, and other gods of battle and glory. Red gemstones like rubies and garnets come into play on Tuesdays, as do herbs and plants such as thistles, holly, coneflowers and cacti – you’ll notice these are all sharp, prickly plants!

One of the interesting – and more than a little amusing – aspects of Tuesday magic is that in addition to war and conflict against your enemies, this is a day also associated with marriage. You can also use this day of the week for magical workings connected to protection and initiation. Use Tuesday to assert yourself, make a mark and stake your claims.

The Witches Guide to Tuesday

 

A god, goddess, or planet governs each day of the week. It is usually easy to spot the ruler of the day by its name. The word Tuesday, however, is not so easy, but if we look at the word in Spanish, Martes, we clearly see its connections to Mars.

Because Tuesday revolves around the energy of Mars, Tuesdays are good for business, mechanical things, buying and selling animals, hunting, beginning studies, gardening, sexual activities, and confrontation. This is a day for sex magick, energy, stamina, and health. As in the old saying, Tuesdays child is full of grace, is also good for success magick and defense against enemies.

Angels of Tuesday are Camael, Samael, Satael, Amabiel, Friagne, and Hyniel. When invoked, Camael takes the form of a leopard. In Druid mythology he is a god of war, which is why we see him associated with Mars. Camael is said to be a member of the “Magnificent Seven” in some circles. Camael is another “terminator” angel.

Samael walks both worlds as a magician and sorcerer. some see him as the angel of death, others as “the bright and poisonous one.” Many consider him more of a demon, and accuse him of being Satan. However, there is reference to the satans (plural) as enforcers of the law, a sort of angelic police, if you will. Supposedly, when Samael is around, dogs howl in the night. On one hand, he is the ruler of the fifth heaven and in charge of two million angels; on the other, he is the one who changed into a serpent and convinced Eve to partake of the forbidden fruit of knowledge.

Satael is an angel of air invoked in magic rites and is the presiding spirit of the planet Mars. Amabiel is another spirit of the planet Mars; however he spends his energy on issues of human sexuality. Friagne, also an angel of this day, is invoked from the east. He is a member of the fifth heaven. Hyniel also belongs to this day and is subject to the east wind.

On Tuesdays the hour of sunrise and every eight hours after that are also ruled by Mars, and that makes these times of the day doubly blessed. These four hours are the strongest ones to do ritual in. Check your local newspaper, astrological calendar, or almanac to determine your local sunrise.

Tuesday’s Witchery

Tuesday is the day to work any magick that falls in the category of increasing strength, courage, bravery, and passion. All of these intense emotions are linked to this day’s energies, and spells designed around these themes will have extra punch when performed on this magickal day.

So, let’s add a little passion and conviction into your life! Break out the daring red pieces of your wardrobe, and put a little pizzazz into your day. Work with Lilith, and see what she has to teach you about personal power and sexuality. Meditate onTiw/Tyr and Mars, and see what those ancient warrior gods will show you about new tactics, strategies, and claiming personal victories in your life. Practice conjuring up that astral weapon from the meditation and use it wisely for protection and for courage.

Create a philter for courage and protection or handcraft your own Witch’s jar to remove negativity from your home. See what other Witch crafts you can conjure up with Tuesday’s magick. Create some kitchen magick on this Tuesday by whipping up a spicy stew-add in a few Mars-associated ingredients such as carrots, peppers, and garlic. Empower the stew for success, and then treat yourself and your family to a good, hearty meal. Try working with a little aromatherapy and burn some spicy or coffee-scented candles to increase your energy level.

Check the sky at night, and see if you can find the reddish planet Mars up in the heavens. Not sure where to look? Check an astronomy magazine or search the Web for more information. Become a magickal warrior and move forward in your life with strength, courage, and compassion. Embrace the side of yourself that loves a good challenge and that is passionate and daring! Banish fear, and face your future with strength and conviction. Believe in yourself and in your dreams, work hard, and you will win every time.

THE ANCIENT ART

Once upon a time, a long time ago, there were people who believed in laughter, joy and love. They believed in many deities, but the most important to them was their Great Mother Goddess. They believed in and lived with the powers of Nature. They reveled in the Wind, the Rain, the Snow and the Sunlight. They marveled at and revered the changing of the seasons and saw therein great excitement and wisdom to be gained. They knew that if they tended, cared for and loved the Earth, in return She would provide for, care for and love them. They saw that all around them the world was filled with Life, much as their own but in many different and wonderful forms. They felt the life of the flowers, plants and trees and respected them for that life essence. They looked about and observed all the many types of animals and saw that they were kindred to them and loved them. They felt and observed the great Love of the Goddess all about them and knew kinship with the Moon. They were practioners of The Old Religion, worshipers of The Great Mother.

 

Witch! The very word instantly invokes visions for each of us, visions which vary greatly from individual to individual. Many of these visions, however, are quite false, brought about by many centuries of severe persecutions, misrepresentations, prejudice and, in recent years, lack of knowledge. Witchcraft! What is it really?

 

Witchcraft is the oldest, most irrepressible religion in the world because it stimulates the intellect, promotes a simple, practical way of life and, most importantly, is emotionally satisfying. Its roots lie in the ancient Matriarchal systems of Goddess worship. A religion of Nature in which the primary deity is female (The Essence of Femininity, The Earth Mother, The Great Mother, etc.).

 

It was easy for the Wise Ones to look at the world around them and see the great importance of Feminine Principle. The female was, indeed, the one who bore the young, perhaps the most magickal of all events to ancient man. Then, she played by far the most important role in rearing the young, being totally responsible for feeding, for without her milk there was no life past birth. She was responsible for the teaching and early care of the young. In all youths the greatest comfort and nurturing love were connected with the mother. These revelations and experiences could hardly lead to any other choice than the total reverence and deification of the female.

 

Although The Great Mother is the most important deity, Witches do, generally, recognize many Goddesses and/or Gods and are, therefore, polytheistic. The tenets of Witchcraft are few but all-encompassing, for with three simple Universal Observationsall of life can be explained and understood:

1) Reincarnation – Mortality
2) Cause & Effect – Magick
3) Retribution – Morality

Reincarnation enlightens the Witch to the fact that, as we come

 

to this material world over and over in a series of learning periods, or lifetimes, we will eventually have to experience all things, be all things, understand all things. This creates a great tolerance for other viewpoints in the Witch.

 

Cause & Effect, and an understanding of it, allows the Witch to see what makes the world work and how to live most efficiently. It gives them a great advantage in that it explains the working of Magick.

 

Retribution shows the Witch, in graphic terms, that every thought one might have, every action one may take, is returned in like kind. This realization forms the basis of the Moral Code of the Witch.

 

The Patriarchal Societies which evolved in later times had no tolerance for the Goddess religions and systematically set out to destroy the material vestiges, kill or convert the adherents and wipe out all knowledge of them. They destroyed the temples and other places of worship, desecrated the sacred groves and magickal places, attempted to pervert the old deities, mutilated and totally suppressed sacred art, tore down libraries and burned
books, tortured and killed the practitioners of the Old Religions, demeaned, persecuted and oppressed women in general and passed strictly enforced laws which made theirs the State Religion and forbade all other viewpoints.

 

Despite the centuries of insidious persecution, deliberate destruction and perversions at the hands of the Christian Conspirators, Witchcraft has survived.

 

COMMON INQUIRIES

 

I’ve heard the terms ‘White Witch’ and ‘Black Witch’. Can you explain?

 

In this connotation, white is referring to Positive, Black is referring to Negative. A White Witch then is someone who tries to do Positive or Good things. Black Witch could be a term used to describe someone who deliberately does Negative or Bad things. A True Witch believes in the Law of Retribution and would never deliberately harm anyone or anything or participate in Negative or Destructive acts.

 

Is it possible for me to practice Witchcraft and remain a Christian?

 

No. The Christian Doctrine states, unequivocally, that Christians shall have no other Gods before the Christian God. Christian Doctrine says to believe in any other deities or to practice any other religion is not only evil but should be punished by death, specifically naming Witchcraft. The Christian Doctrine also denies Reincarnation and prescribes punishment for those who practice Magick.

Devil worship?

 

Witches do not worship the Devil. Witchcraft predates Christianity and does not incorporate a belief in the Christian Devil.

The Wise Ones did deify the Masculine Principle and quite often He was depicted as The Great Horned God; Pan, Cernunnos, the Great Stag, The Green Man. To the Traditional Witch, the Masculine Deity (the Goddess’ Consort) is very important, revered and loved. He is the perfect Father, the Lord Protector. The Horned God of the Witches is loving, kind and good.

Don’t men have difficulty with a supreme female deity? There are some groups which give equal status to the female and male deities.

Neo-Pagans are, by definition, people who attempt to live with the Old Country Ways in a new, modern day manner. And while, in this modern era, equal status for the deities may be popular, as it relates to Witchcraft it is historically incorrect.

Therefore, a group which does not recognize the Goddess as primary deity is not practicing The Ancient Art. Indeed, they generally, know very little about Witchcraft, despite their claims. Traditional Dualistic Witches do most emphatically believe that women and men are equal, but have no trouble relating to the Goddess. The Male Witch finds great comfort and solace in his Great Mother.

 

Do I have to join a Coven?

No. It is not necessary nor is it desirable for a great many people. Some people enjoy the support and companionship a Coven provides, others enjoy solitary worship. The Coven, which is an extremely close knit worship group, may not be possible for some because of location, family climate, availability, etc.

Why is Witchcraft secretive?

The horror of the ‘Burning Time’ is still very real to the Witch. The past persecutions were severe. Even so, in today’s more enlightened society the need for complete secrecy has lessened and many are able to share their beliefs openly. Very few, however, are willing to expose their very personal and private religious expressions to others who may not understand.

What do I have to do to become a Witch?

The answer to this question is very simple. To become a Witch one must follow the religion of Witchcraft. To do this one must believe in the Goddess as primary deity and follow the three basic tenets. How simple! How uncomplicated! How Pagan!
Everything else concerning witchcraft is simply minor details.

Details that vary from Aspect to Aspect, Coven to Coven and individual to individual. The details are relatively personal. They should not become more important than the basic tenets. If you do not understand, believe and practice Witchcraft, you are not a Witch. No one can make you a Witch. Reading about it can not make you a Witch. An Initiation can not make you a Witch. Saying you are a Witch, one thousand and fifty two times, can not make you a Witch.

 

In the search for your individual path beware of those who would take advantage of you. Do not fall prey to the unscrupulous charlatans who would swindle you in a monetary sense (mail-order courses, charges for teaching or initiations, vows of poverty, etc.), exploit you sexually or manipulate you for their own personal ego-trips.

 

 

The Charge of the God

Listen to the words of the Horned God, the Guardian of all
things wild and free, and Keeper of the Gates of Death,
whose Call all must answer:

 

I am the fire within your heart…
The yearning of your Soul.
I am the Hunter of Knowledge
and the Seeker of the Holy Quest
I – who stand in the darkness of light
am He whom you have called Death.
I – the Consort and Mate of Her we adore,
call forth to thee.
Heed my call beloved ones,
come unto me and learn the secrets of death and peace.
I am the corn at harvest
and the fruit on the trees.
I am He who leads you home.
Scourge and Flame,
Blade and Blood –
these are mine and gifts to thee.

 

Call unto me in the forest wild
and on hilltop bare
and seek me in the Darkness Bright.
I – who have been called;
Pan,
Herne,
Osiris ,
and Hades,
speak to thee in thy search.
Come dance and sing;
come live and smile,
for behold:

this is my worship.
You are my children and I am thy Father.
On swift night wings
it is I who lay you at the Mother’s feet
to be reborn and to return again.
Thou who thinks to seek me,
know that I am the untamed wind,
the fury of storm and passion in your Soul.
Seek me with pride and humility,
but seek me best with love and strength.
For this is my path,
and I love not the weak and fearful.
Hear my call on long Winter nights
and we shall stand together guarding Her Earth
as She sleeps.

Your Astrology for Tuesday, November 7th

The Moon is in Gemini until 5:44 AM, after which the Moon is in Cancer.
The Moon is void very briefly, from 5:39 AM to 5:44 AM.
The Moon is waning and in its Full phase until 6:06 AM after which the Moon is waning and in its Waning Gibbous phase.
The Full Moon occurred on the 4th in the sign of Taurus and the Last Quarter Moon will occur on the 10th.
Venus enters Scorpio today (Venus transits Scorpio from November 7-December 1).

Moon in Cancer

 

The Moon is traveling through Cancer today. Beware of mood swings. Cook some soul food. Cuddle up with someone.

The restlessness of the Gemini Moon gives way to an instinctive need for peace and quiet. Feelings of belonging and safety are what motivate us under this influence. The Moon feels right at home in the sign of Cancer, as it rules the sign. This Moon position has much healing potential. Although insular by nature, our feelings run deep, making it an ideal time to get in touch with what motivates us.

The Moon in Cancer generally favors the following activities: Domestic activities, those that involve awareness of personal needs. Home decor, family get-togethers.

Daily Overview of Your Astronomy for Tuesday, November 7th

Early today, mental pressures or troubles can be unsettling as Mercury and Pluto form a semi-square. We should watch for obsessing over an issue that we can’t or shouldn’t control. The Moon continues its transit of Gemini until 5:40 AM EST, after which the Moon moves through the sign of comfort-seeking Cancer.

Venus enters Scorpio today, where it will transit until December 1st. Deeply passionate relations are the focus with Venus in Scorpio. Superficial flirtations and contacts do not satisfy now, as we yearn for “body and soul” contact with someone special that breaks the norms, is intense, and is unforgettable. This is a highly emotional and passionate position for Venus. We look for projects, pleasures, and relationships that consume us. Fears of being too vulnerable or of giving up our own power to others are strong. We’re good at handling money and resources during this cycle.

There can be disdain for routine today, or circumstances are such that our lives are too chaotic or scattered to be able to focus on our goals. We should watch for sudden abandonment of goals, projects, responsibilities, or commitments now. The Moon’s trine to Jupiter this afternoon is encouraging and generous, while the Moon-Mars square tonight can stimulate tension and impulsive reactions.

A void of course Moon occurs from 5:40 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Venus), until the Moon enters Cancer at 5:45 AM EST (an extremely brief VOC period).

The Sky This Week for November 7 to 12

Venus shines brilliantly, a variable star triples in brightness overnight, and much more in the sky this week.
By Richard Talcott

Tuesday, November 7

The variable star Algol in Perseus reaches minimum brightness around 10:56 p.m. EST, when it shines at magnitude 3.4. If you start tracking it this evening, you can watch it more than triple in brightness (to magnitude 2.1) by dawn. This eclipsing binary star runs through a cycle from minimum to maximum and back every 2.87 days. Algol remains visible all night, passing nearly overhead around midnight local time.

Wednesday, November 8

As if the earlier sunsets this week don’t put you in mind of winter, the midevening appearance of the season’s most conspicuous constellation surely will. Orion the Hunter rises in the eastern sky around 9 p.m. local time and appears halfway to the zenith in the southeast by midnight. Look for three 2nd-magnitude stars in a line that form the Hunter’s belt. The constellation’s brightest stars are ruddy Betelgeuse and blue-white Rigel.

Thursday, November 9

Mars stands out in the eastern sky before dawn this week. The magnitude 1.8 Red Planet rises three hours before the Sun and appears 15° high as twilight starts to paint the sky. It resides among the background stars of Virgo, and this morning it passes 1.8° south of 3rd-magnitude Gamma (γ) Virginis. Unfortunately, the view through a telescope proves disappointing — Mars spans just 4″ and shows no detail.

Friday, November 10

Last Quarter Moon arrives at 3:36 p.m. EST. It rises in the eastern sky around 11:30 p.m. local time and reaches its peak in the south around sunrise tomorrow morning, by which time it appears slightly less than half-lit. Throughout this period, our satellite resides among the background stars of western Leo the Lion.

Saturday, November 11

Although Jupiter passed on the far side of the Sun from our perspective in late October, it already is climbing into view before dawn. To find it, head outside about a half-hour before sunrise and locate dazzling Venus. This morning, Jupiter appears 1° directly below its sibling. The gas giant planet shines some two magnitudes fainter than Venus but still stands out through binoculars against the bright twilight. Two mornings from now, these planets pass within 0.3° of each other in the finest planetary conjunction of 2017.

Sunday, November 12

A lone bright star now hangs low in the south during early evening. First-magnitude Fomalhaut — often called “the Solitary One” — belongs to the constellation Piscis Austrinus the Southern Fish. From mid-northern latitudes, it climbs 20° above the horizon at its best. How solitary is Fomalhaut? The nearest 1st-magnitude star to it, Achernar at the southern end of Eridanus the River, lies some 40° away.

Tuesday 7th November

Today we are exactly in between the September Equinox and December’s Winter Solstice. It’s a moment of balance, a hinge in the year. And lovely Venus plunges into watery Scorpio today too. Altogether, a moment for reflection…

 

Good Tuesday Morning, My Dear Brothers & Sisters of the Craft! May The Goddess Bless You & Yours Today!

There are seldom times, I have to be alone and just think. The biggest thing that has always weighed on my mind and I am sure others, is how did we get created? How the planets formed? How did the universe formed? Better yet how did our own planet form? Unfortunately, due to events beyond our control, we do not have much written history.

The image that has recently came into my mind is one of beauty and most of all love. It is an image of the Divine at work. Now I want you to use your imaginations with me or for those of the Craft, visualize with me for a moment…..Imagine a dark, blank slate which happens to be the void. The Divine looked at the void and saw something was needed. She spread her hand across the void and lite it up with thousands upon thousands of beautiful stars. The stars were beautiful but yet there was still something missing. What She wondered?After all the beauty she had created among the stars, there was now a void in her heart. She decided she needed a companion to share the beauty she had created with her. The male form God she then created. She felt his companionship, his caring and his love. With those feelings stemming from Him, the Goddess decided these feelings should be shared but with who or what. With both of them agreeing, these feelings of love that they were experiencing should be share, the Goddess decided she would give birth to a new species. A species that would be part of them, experience the love and awe they felt. We would not only be their children but a very special species. A species formed out of their love, kindness and goodness, a part of the Divine.

The Goddess took her beautiful hand and from the Stars she had created, formed a small ball from them. She then proceeded to form from those very magickal stars an image in the likeness of the God. It was not right for the man figure created to be alone. Alone he could not know the happiness and love that the God and Goddess shared. She reached her long, slender fingers up to the heavens and gathered more stars. This time she formed a female figure from those stars.

With the male and female now being formed, the God and Goddess decided to create a very special place for them. A place they could call home, care for and nurture. This place was and is our planet. She gently lowered the beings to the planet. What wonders they held before them. They were thankful for the beautiful home that the God & Goddess had given them. No stipulations were given to them for these new beings on this new planet were made from the stars and were also made from the God and Goddess. Without a word being spoken they knew in their hearts what was to be done, what they were to teach their children and the laws to live by.

The laws that were never spoken but always were known where simple…Take care of your new home, care for each other, love each other and always remember my children, you are special. You are special because you come from the stars and the Universe. You are part of the God and Goddess. You will live out your days in peace and when your time is done on this planet, you will come home to us again. But only for a brief time, then you will be reborn or reincarnated again to carry the lessons you have previously learned forward into your new life. With each new reincarnation and with what you have learned from the past, you will make your home a better place.

But always remember one thing, my children, you are a part of the Divine. You come from the stars and you are the most precious thing on your new planet. Love each other, cherish each other and find the love and happiness that We have found with each other.

For our gift to you, our children, is peace, love, happiness and the most important of all, freewill. Use your gifts wisely, my children. Follow our example, never stray from it, for we have given you life. It is your life but chose wisely, children. Learn to use your gifts in all ways that honor us, your Divine Parents.

The WOTC Has Temporarily Crashed

Due to a tremendous amount of traffic this morning, the WOTC crashed. It is only temporarily and they are currently working on bringing it back up. We got 75 group invites while we were in the process of doing the horoscopes. Then in the middle of the horoscopes it when down. First time that has happened in a while. In case you are wondering, I am posting outside the side. They don’t have that part fixed yet. But give it time and the WOTC will be back up and running good as new.

Just wanted to let you know what was going on especially after those earlier posts. I didn’t want you to think we run off, just crashed.

Hopefully, we will talk to you soon. Till then….

Love ya,

Lady A

This is an afterthought from the first post……..

I know I occasionally ask a lot of you but you have to understand the importance of what I ask. I know most of you and your circumstances. I also know some of you wouldn’t feel comfortable spreading the message I am asking you too. So I have a solution to that problem, drop off our address on the internet, https://witchesofthecraft.com. That’s all you will have to do. Get them here and then I will do the preaching to them. I know why I was put on this Earth and I have strayed a little from that Path. I feel if I hadn’t then perhaps the world wouldn’t be in such a mess.

My purpose and I have known it all along is to spread the truth about the Craft, to spread the word of our Goddess and bring people back to the oldest religion on this planet. Get them here and they will hear our message. You have my word on that.

Lady A

 

We are going to skip over to the horoscopes, then we will get back to some sort of normal tomorrow. Oh, have I told you I love you today? if not,

I love you,

Lady A

Good Monday Morning To All Our Sweet & Precious Family! May The Goddess Bless You & Yours Today & Always!

Sympathy Comments

Good morning brothers & sisters of The Craft! Honestly, I was trying to figure out every way in the world to avoid this day, until I saw how many people were sitting on this site. I know why you are here, you are here to hear one person give you words of comfort for this crazy, insane world we now find ourselves living in. Right now, I don’t have any.

I know the tragedy in Texas happened in a church yesterday but it hit home for me all to well. I know most of you know I grew up in a half and half house, half witch, half Baptist. You know the rest of the story so I won’t go into that. But when I saw the front of that little country church, I flashed back in my mind. That church looked just like the one my father took us to on Sunday mornings, just exactly like it. And that hit home hard, very hard. I could see the preacher standing at the door, friends and neighbors inside and it hurt. I cannot even begin to imagine what those poor people are going through. I can’t imagine what possess a man, no, he wasn’t a man, he was the worse monster to ever walk this planet, to shoot a small child four times. My Goddess, four times! I prayed, I cried and I begged the Goddess to give that poor child the strength and will to pull through. I have searched this morning to see if there was anything else said about him. I can’t find anything.

It was another faith that faced that horror yesterday but it doesn’t matter. We are all connected because we are all part of mankind. Those people that were shot and killed and their families are part of us. Then after the tragedy has happened you automatically hear about gun control. If it hadn’t been for those two men with their own guns that shot that monster no telling how many lives would have been lost. We are given the 2nd Amendment so we can protect ourselves from such monsters that are unleashed on the innocent ones in this world. Thank the Goddess for those two men with their own guns.

I use to think at one time I had no idea why the world had turned into such a mess and it is a mess. I stopped yesterday morning before the shootings and listened to a local preacher. I believe the Goddess told me to listen to him. He preached nothing but gloom and doom. The end of the world is upon us, it is coming soon. Maybe their world is coming to an end but ours isn’t. We have hope, we have the promise from our Almighty Mother of reincarnation. I know this to be true, for I am an old soul. We are guaranteed life, we are guaranteed a very glorious and beautiful journey but in the meantime the world is hearing it is coming to an end.

Every day we have at least 40 to 50 people coming from the mainstream religions to join us. They are hunting, searching for a better way. I have never spoke out against any of the mainstream religions till now but with that many people hunting and searching for something better that tells me, mainstream religion is failing. It is our time to let our message be heard and give the world hope, pick up the pieces and restore balance. Even a sane person who hears gloom and doom all the time will eventually go mad and come to commit such horrors as we saw yesterday. I am sick of those horrors which seem like are now an every day occurrence. The world has to know there is so much more to it than just gloom and doom. We have to be the ones to spread the message. Then perhaps when people are given hope the killings will stop. People will have something to live for. They will once again value life. They will come to realize how precious it is and every moment we have of it, we should enjoy and life to the fullest, not waste it, not kill children who have not even begun to live yet.

I don’t know, I am just a witch but I do know one thing, the killings have to stop. The innocent dying now on a daily basis has to stop, the wars has to stop, all the horror in this world has to cease. Perhaps giving the people hope is the answer, perhaps it isn’t but it worth a try. I know the Goddess put each and everyone of us on this planet for a reason and I know that reason wasn’t for us to kill each other. It was to spread the joy, the love and the peace She offers.

I have said many times one person or one witch cannot do this by herself. I ask you as my brothers and sisters of the Craft to join with the WOTC and myself to spread the word of our Goddess. Give the world hope once again. Give the world love. Perhaps hope and love can change the world. Nothing else has worked so far, it is worth a try, not only for ourselves but our children and their children. We have to make the world a better place for that is our commitment to the Goddess and mankind.

Please pray for the victims of the horrible tragedy that occurred in Texas yesterday. Remember the souls that were needlessly lost and their loved ones left behind. Let our love, our thoughts and our prayers be with them at this time.

In the Goddess’ Almighty Name, I ask this of you,

Lady of the Abyss

Full Moon in Taurus Horoscopes: Tradition vs. Transformation

Read your sign’s Full Moon in Taurus Horoscope now

By Tarot.com Staff

Taurus, Moon, Horoscopes, Full Moon, Astrology

The Full Moon in Taurus on November 4, 2017, poses several significant questions that offer unlimited potential for life-altering epiphanies and personal revolutions. An electrical Venus-Uranus opposition rattles cages and shakes up the status quo; the challenge is to either create change in your world or watch the cosmos surprise you with it instead. Relinquish the need to cling to what is familiar and allow your rigidity to soften. Search for the answers in the murky waters of your heart and feel your metamorphosis start to unfold…

What are you willing to sacrifice for the sake of security? What are you willing to risk for the sake of freedom? This earthy Taurus Full Moon prescribes simplicity as the key to happiness. But its counterpart, the relentless Scorpio Sun, begs to differ as it draws you into dark shadows and mysterious realms. There are many opportunities for personal and relationship growth, but the journey isn’t always going to be pretty. In fact, it’s quite likely to be messy with so much Fixed planetary energy in the mix. You never know what you might find when you go deep diving, but the adventure alone is worth the risk. Embrace the unknown or sink with the ship…

Breakup, breakdown, or breakthrough

Complacency is not your friend near this Full Moon when it comes to creative projects, fiscal matters, and relationship dynamics. Surprises can knock you off your feet if you are not nimble in your response now. An urgent yearning for freedom clashes with the intense craving for emotional security, and erratic mood swings only complicate matters. Spontaneity is sweet, but stepping on someone’s heart is never kind — there’s no reason to burn down the tower unless it’s necessary. Stop repressing your feelings and reveal them instead. Ending a relationship, business contract, or artistic collaboration is still an option, but at least it will be a conscious choice and not an impetuous act of rebellion.

This steady Taurus Full Moon attempts to anchor you at a safe harbor, but the magnetic Scorpio Sun pulls you back into the powerful currents. This tumultuous instability can feel like a battle of wills, leaving you to wonder if an exit strategy is the only way to return to solid ground. Digging in your heels doesn’t help to improve the situation, but then again, neither does running for the hills. Stick around and listen as much as you talk to give everyone an opportunity to express themselves; remain openminded, but prepare to close this chapter if a compromise isn’t found. Remember, change is rarely comfortable, even when it is desperately needed. Calm your nerves with daily meditations, outdoor excursions, and artistic pursuits. Transformation takes time.

Your personal metaphysical assistants

Mixing divination methods is an extremely beneficial practice, especially during chaos, crisis, or change. Tarot cards and crystals are magical tools for meditation, powerful sources of inspiration, and joyful assistants in manifestation rituals.

 

Tarot card for this Full Moon:

The Tower

The Tower card represents the volatile planetary energy at work during this Full Moon — stability is at stake and radical change is in the air. Lightning strikes (Uranus in Aries), waters swirl (Sun in Scorpio) around the building (The Tower), and relationships free-fall toward a new paradigm (Venus opposite Uranus). Grounding your energy now is more important than ever. Create your own safety net in the chaos of the storm.

Crystals for this Full Moon:

Black Tourmaline (pictured): offers emotional stability and protection

Chrysocolla: assists in creative pursuits, revitalizing relationships, and healing a broken heart

Rhodonite: cultivates unconditional love and inner peace.

 

This Taurus Full Moon pushes you to reflect on the price of freedom vs. the cost of security, especially concerning your relationships, finances, and creative enterprises. Discover the personal effects you may feel by reading your sign’s Full Moon Horoscope below…

Aries Horoscope (March 21 – April 19)

Take off your mask and strip down to your core. At this Full Moon, you need to be transparently vulnerable about what you want, or respectfully end an overly complicated relationship. You can’t keep a lid on your spontaneity forever as your irrepressible spirit demands freedom of expression. Adrenaline is pumping through your veins and your patience is nowhere to be found. Running, skydiving, or boxing helps you to blow off steam, but you won’t find contentment until you create positive change.

Taurus Horoscope (April 20 – May 20)

You are typically more a lover than a fighter, unless someone pokes fun at your dreams. You might be afraid to exhibit your wild and creative side lest you rock the boat in your relationship world. But the boat will eventually capsize if you can’t be your authentic self. Fireworks are likely if you stand up for your rights, but you really don’t have much of a choice at this Full Moon in your sign. Bottling up your emotions is no longer a viable strategy. Healthy relationships demand honesty and respect.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – June 20)

You truly want nothing more than to fly under the radar today, so you can spin sweet stories in your head without interruption. But seeking the simplicity of solitude is an act of frustration when there are so many disruptions happening all around you. You might surrender your pursuit of peace and quiet if your restless nature gets the best of you. You excel at being the life of the party but sometimes are bored when left alone. Spend more time exploring your dreams and less time worrying about everyone else. Meditation needs to be part of your regular routine for your creativity to blossom.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – July 22)

It’s no secret that home is where your heart dwells, but your community also needs your nurturing presence when a sudden crisis sends everyone into a tizzy. You may feel pulled in opposite directions, but the urgency is more of your making than anyone else’s. Give when and where you can, but don’t let the outside world invade your domestic tranquility. Creative self-expression allows you to channel all your feelings into something bigger than you. It doesn’t matter if your heart is singing or breaking — make art.

Leo Horoscope (July 23 – Aug. 22)

Expect the best, prepare for the worst is one of those clichés that sticks around for a reason. The current cosmic weather calls for equal amounts of optimism and realism when performing both at home and on the stage. You can sense all the incredible changes on the horizon and hope to inspire others to follow your lead. Simplify your mission statement so it is crystal clear to everyone involved. Any obstacles you encounter on your journey will be much easier to manage if you know exactly where you are going and why. Be fearless, not reckless.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

Following your own moral compass, no matter what anyone else says, is key to maintaining stability in an otherwise wild and crazy world. Sharing resources with a partner has both its risks and its rewards. Don’t slip into a false sense of security and lose track of important numbers and facts, believing that everything is up to speed when it’s not. Although anger might be your first response when managing an unpleasant surprise, count to ten and reach for your integrity instead. Taking responsibility for your role in the mess quickly moves the discussion to reconciliation and resolution.

Libra Horoscope (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

Your deep-rooted need for harmony is both a gift and a curse. Being the peacemaker of the zodiac is a heavy burden at times, especially when your self-respect is on the line. Your feelings often play second fiddle to everyone else’s, but you appear to like it that way even when you don’t. A romantic or business partner’s decision to fly solo rocks your world now and you can’t help but wonder what you did wrong. You offer a compromise, but their counter demands leave you with little room for negotiation. Wait for the dust to settle prior to gauging the final results. Focus on your blessings and not on your regrets.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

You’re swept up in a whirlwind of fantasy and drama now, making it impossible to discern the difference between fact and fiction. You long for a partner who understands your every mood, but that may be asking too much out of any one person. The subjective waters of your imagination are both a source of limitless inspiration and a brewing cauldron of secrets and suspicions. Taking the high road demonstrates your willingness to break old patterns. Lasting relationship growth can only happen if you both agree to stick around and do the work.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

You could just quietly slip out the back door and skip out on all your obligations today. You struggle with the knowledge that it is much more fun to dream about perfect relationships than to do the emotional work that is necessary to maintain a strong bond. Friends can offer sweet relief from the pressures of the world as you act out your fantasies, but swimming in the shallow end can leave you wanting more. Your independence is one of your most prized treasures, but sacrificing a little freedom allows someone to give you something priceless in return. You win when love wins.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

You usually take life so seriously that you don’t spend much time ruminating over your feelings. But now that you believe your emotional security is in peril, you are willing to shake the foundations of your life if you think it will offer you long-term stability. Stop striving for perfection and relinquish the need to control external events. The elements of spontaneity and surprise are delightful gifts to your spirit. Get out of your head and into your heart if you truly want to create a personal transformation.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

Thunder and lightning strike your world with wild abandon, leaving your nerves jittery and jangled today. Seek out quiet space where you can unplug and ground your energy, as the electricity in the air is a lot to handle right now. Shocking news or a surprise visitor may catch you completely off guard, but your swift ability to regain your composure is grace in action. The eyes of the community are on you now. True leaders know when to hold the reins and when to let go.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb. 19 – March 20)

Simplifying your schedule and narrowing your focus enable you to regain control over all the nuts and bolts of your life. Your confidence may be rattled today, possibly causing you to second-guess your recent fiscal choices. Between all the interruptions and chores, there is little time left to reevaluate your decisions. Carve out space to discuss your future trajectory with a mentor, advisor or close family member. Sometimes when you have so many fantastic ideas it is helpful to have someone tell you which ones are the best.

Your Monthly Horoscopes for November 2017

Claire Petulengro, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

 

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)

It would serve you very well indeed to keep a sense of humour to the fore this month. Close ones seem to enjoy giving you the run around. What you’re about to find out though, is that you hold the power to make your own decisions. Don’t ignore this fact, but use it to get what you could not obtain last month. News of a baby links to major changes which should give you more ability to see what has really been going on in the lives of your close ones this year.

 

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)

Family have not been easy to deal with and you may have had to pay out for something or someone that was not your responsibility. Games are being played in love, but it’s vital that you don’t join in with them. Your house of work is full of opportunity but you may be required to pay for something you don’t feel is your responsibility. By the 22nd you will realise why it is worth doing so.  An ex is on your mind for all the wrong reasons. Beware of getting in contact until you can work out why you are thinking about them.

 

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)

You begin this month with the Moon trying to convince you to get back in contact with those from your past. You will learn over the course of this month that you have friends and supporters in high places who are ready, willing and able to help you shape your life to your true needs and desires. Jealousy in love mid-month could well be your undoing if you’re not careful. Know how far is too far to go when making accusations you have no proof of. It is clear from the placing of Mercury in your chart that your imagination is working overtime.

 

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)

With your house of love looking full of mischief, yours is the sign others will be watching. Just make sure you know what to keep behind closed doors, remember what happened last year Cancer! The chance to try your hand at something you had given up is looked upon favourably by the stars. In fact, the majority of your sign should be feeling full of fresh hope and inspiration. Don’t entertain the childish behaviour of family any more. Back away until they learn how to behave.

 

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)

You have been focusing on the little things and ignoring the big things. It’s time to bring your life back into some semblance of order. You know exactly who has been taking advantage of you and it’s time to put your foot down. Time spent going over paperwork and financial figures between the 12th and 18th can help you turn an average month into an above average one. Friends turn into lovers for some of your sign and November marks a time where you no longer worry about what looks right, only what feels right.

 

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)

I see from your stars you have had so much to cope with lately. Luckily for you, help is on hand from the 5th and you see the return and support of those who last month were ‘otherwise engaged.’ Knowing what you want from your career can help you skip the queue between the 20th and 28th. You find out you have friends in high places and no longer have to do things in the way other expect. If you were hoping to tie up a deal then this is the time you should do it.

 

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)

With the relationship sector of your chart demanding more of your time and attention, you are going to be feeling the need for questions and answers. Try not to accuse close ones of things you have no proof of, or it could well be your undoing. Knowing where you need to be professionally, can go a long way to you improving your reputation and repairing that damage caused last month. Your daily routine is under constructive change and you start to realise you want to and can simplify your life.

 

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)

Don’t ask for things you don’t actually want just to test close ones. It would be far better for you to relax into November and just to wait and see what each day will bring. Unexpected travel after the 19th makes this a month you will not forget in a hurry. You’ll be making new friends which will last a lifetime and which are sure to lead to some unforgettable travel in the months ahead. Jupiter helps you to replenish missing funds. Just be careful of lending money to family. You are unlikely to get it back when they say.

 

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)

This is an excellent week to try and break bad habits. The stars are on your side for successful outcomes. I know that you have a full social calendar, but don’t you want to arrange some downtime to think about the path you want your career to take? Taking time out to focus on yourself is the key to you feeling more confident about where your life is going. An argument in the family around the 25th should not really concern you. Try not to get involved if you don’t have to. A more psychic nature for the last three days of the month tells you much.

 

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)

Try not to tell tales on your close ones or it will come back on you. It would be far better for you to spend your time on tying up the many loose ends which October left for you. Trips you make for personal reasons make you very emotive and force you to do a lot of soul searching. Try to be more honest with yourself my friend. It is the only way your heart can give your head the answers it needs. Don’t be afraid to commit to training which will benefit your career. Mars sees you like a sponge absorbing facts this month.

 

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)

Stop leaving such important tasks until the last minute, or you will cause yourself unnecessary stress. Your sign is known for their ability to handle more than one thing at once. Try to make a game plan for yourself sooner rather than later and you’ll soon see that you’re firmly back in the driving seat. A new attraction after the 17th makes you question what you thought you wanted from your personal life. Take your time, there is much for you to learn this month before you make any permanent personal decisions my friend.

 

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)

An unpredictable mood is making it hard for you to know what you want or who you should trust. Try to trust in yourself and what you want. You have put your own needs to one side for so long that you have forgotten how to make yourself a priority. Preparation is everything in your work over the coming days and weeks so make sure you go over what you know, even if you think you are well prepared. It’s the key to you coming across as the ultimate professional. Travel plans you make for the end of this year say a lot about where you want your future to lead.

 

Your Dark Stars: Horoscopes for November 2017

Jane Lyle, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

ARIES
Do you have a quirky goal or unusual ambition? Are you and a group of friends trying to achieve something special? If so, now’s the time to focus on whatever is close to your heart, and ignore those who’re trying to rain on your parade. And, of course, with Mars in your opposite sign, Libra, you’ll have to find tactful ways to deal with your critics, and subtle ways to sidestep anyone who is actively trying to block your progress. Mid-November could be particularly irksome, while a stand-off at the end of the month is also dramatic – yet could be avoided if you resolve to remain icily calm – easier said than done, admittedly. An old lover or friendly ex-partner could turn out to be very helpful to you at this time. Perhaps there’s still a little spark there? Meanwhile, some heartening financial news, offers of support, or a shy, new admirer promise to put a smile on your face.

TAURUS
Much of November is all about other people. How do you feel about your relationships? How do others feel about you – do you have any idea? For some of you the possibility of a shimmering romance is deeply alluring. Your more poetic side is activated by November 4th’s powerful Taurus full Moon, a Moon of strong feelings,  deep attractions, music and cake. This theme also activates your intuition and artistic flair, something you’ll want to pursue now, and during the year ahead. Your challenge is to keep things flourishing in a creative, spiritual sense while avoiding anything involving dubious get-rich-quick schemes or risky liaisons with strangers. Something magical could appear mid-month, when Venus and Jupiter align – do welcome whatever arrives on your doorstep, but don’t feel bad if you want to take a little time to process your thoughts and feelings. It’s the right thing to do.

GEMINI
Thought-provoking conversations and surprising news are sprinkled throughout November.  But you may not know what you really think until things come to a head at the Gemini full Moon in early December. Mars in charming Libra is boosting your creative, playful side – and if you’re single some exciting attractions could pop up out of nowhere. Some of you fancy taking a few risks – if these involve any kind of financial gamble, take great care and be exceedingly cautious. Meanwhile, other interesting possibilities are brewing as you question current goals, and review the way you earn your living. There are lucky chances around, especially if you want to explore a wider world – perhaps through travel, perhaps by extending your knowledge and skills. Saturn leaves your opposite sign, Sagittarius, next month. So it’s a useful time to think about where you are with your partnerships, longstanding friendships, and commitments. What would you like to nail down, and what would you like to change in 2018?

CANCER
Deep feelings and a delicious kind of restlessness rise up with the potent full Moon in Taurus on 4th November. It illuminates neglected parts of your imagination, reminding you just how fabulously intuitive you really are. This is more than just a passing mood, for with Jupiter now in Scorpio you’ll benefit from a fertile year of enhanced spiritual, romantic, and creative energy. There’ll be all sorts of domestic things to sort out now, and chances are you’ll be more involved with visitors and neighbourhood projects than usual. These familiar distractions cannot prevent you from sensing a shift in your world. Those feelings, subtle at first, strengthen as the weeks pass. So if you’d like to make changes to your intimate life, your artistic outlets, or your relationships with family and children – a clear Scorpio new Moon (18th) might be a positive time to set your intentions – if only in private. There’s no rush – why not just feed your imagination and see what happens?

LEO
Happiness lurks close to home in November. It’s a fortunate time for home improvements, or setting up a home office. But digging a little deeper, you could find inspiration in your family, or unearth a fascinating story about an ancestor. Whatever you discover this month can be the start of a new journey, as the planets encourage you to dabble in a little alchemy and learn how to blend what’s established with what’s unusual and different. A spirit of adventure refreshes relationships too – and some of you could find a very different kind of friendship or love affair this month. November’s full Moon in Taurus (4th) brings something to a head at work, or encourages you to focus on your goals – do they still matter, or are you in the mood for something fresh or unexpected? What surfaces now hints at a fork in the road ahead. When Uranus enters Taurus next May it’s opening a phase of change for your life direction and even your status. Coming events cast their shadows before them.

VIRGO
Your conversations and communications this month are way more entertaining and informative than usual. It’s quite amazing what you can find out, or how a casual chat can lead on to all manner of things – including boosting your income, finding a hot date, or finally tracking down a reliable plumber or electrician. Venus and Jupiter in Scorpio encourage you to use your wit and charm – so whether you’re on social media, or applying for a job, your subtle charisma can attract many positive situations and some magical, mystical people too. Since Mercury will be retrograde in December, you might like to strike while the cosmic iron is hot. Otherwise, you should be prepared to review things next month. If you want to plan a trip, or if someone is planning a journey to come and visit you, it’s worth making meticulous arrangements now. Mercury will be backtracking from 3rd – 23rd December in travelling Sagittarius, just in time for the festive season. So it’s worth having a Plan B up your sleeve, just in case.

LIBRA
With Mars in Libra you’ll want to get things moving. But tread softly – there’s no need to push too hard. You’ll only come up against the law of unintended consequences if you do – particularly between 15th-20th and again at the end of November. Others can send your best-laid plans flying – so it’s better to prioritise teamwork and bide your time. Your ruler, Venus, smoulders in Scorpio during November, bringing a focus on cash and values. That’s a major year-long theme anyway, thanks to Jupiter – when the two meet up mid-month you could benefit from a little windfall or some artistic and romantic inspiration. Avoid speculation though –  instead, why not try opening up to some higher thoughts and spiritual vibrations? With an open mind, you’re in a great position to benefit from exciting ideas and possibilities that crop up in conversations or during short trips. An old friend or contact could really surprise you, in a good way too. Take care of your wellbeing, keep options open, and enjoy a thought-provoking month.

SCORPIO
Your uncanny ability to sense any disturbance in the force is both strong and spooky this month, with planets and a new Moon in Scorpio strengthening your mind, body, and spirit. It’s a fortunate beginning to your astrological year ahead. Jupiter is now in your sign, bringing a year of expansiveness and all manner of possibilities. Your challenge is to refine your sense of timing, and listen carefully to your intuition. Jupiter and Neptune will be boosting our sensitivity to all things mysterious, musical, and creative now, and during much of 2018. So what you have to offer is likely to be very popular – whether that’s your imagination, quiet loyalty, or fearless emotional depths. You’ll be right in tune with the times. Others may have important things to say to you early in November, and you might need to win them over. But with Venus in Scorpio, your charisma should dazzle – particularly between 16th – 21st. Use it wisely, and use it well.

SAGITTARIUS
Saturn is coming to the end of his visit to Sagittarius, moving to Capricorn in late December. So it might be helpful to look at what you’ve learned over the past couple of years. Some of you may have felt restricted in some way, while others have worked very hard without gaining huge rewards. Yet the foundations you’ve created during this time are solid as a rock, and you’ll be able to build on them and reap rewards in the future – what you’ve established will endure. There’s a lively, flirty social atmosphere on and off this November, with enough to keep you amused. However, with your mighty ruler, Jupiter, in Scorpio now you’ll want to explore your more intuitive, sensitive side too. Paying attention to gut feelings and vivid dreams will guide you towards all manner of interesting possibilities, and perhaps prompt some new routines designed to boost mind, body, and spirit. It doesn’t have to be complicated – a daily walk or some meditation could be all you need to unlock your inner treasure chest.

CAPRICORN
Changes in how you deal with your home or family are partly out of your control. And some of your feelings, questions, and ideas haven’t been clear. But if you’ve been puzzling over what to do next, you can expect enlightenment this month when Saturn meets innovative Uranus for the final time. Your ideas may surprise you, or others. Meanwhile, much that’s creative, romantic, or even spiritual is waiting for you to notice its dreamy presence in your world. It may be hard to find a space, but it’s worth making the effort, particularly at the romantic full Moon in Taurus on 4th November. Although Mars in Libra brings action and focus to your career and your desire to forge ahead, you may find yourself questioning your current aims and ambitions. Talking to close friends will help, as will tuning in to your own instincts. As you approach the arrival of Saturn in Capricorn in December, you’re crossing a bridge into a pivotal new phase of life. Taking the time to carefully consider all your options now is the first step.

AQUARIUS
Thinking and talking about your personal world is highlighted this month. Everything from friendships to your parents – and even ancestors – seems to have a deeper meaning, or a message for you. Take it step by step, and bounce ideas and notions around a bit. What you discover has a part to play in decisions you make about your home, your ambitions, and your desire to understand how you arrived at your current situation in life. Something demands attention at home early in November, with the full Moon in Taurus. However, with a new Moon in Scorpio on 18th, you don’t need to rush into any new projects or make sudden moves – adjustments will be needed, or compromises made. With Uranus, your ruler, reversing in Aries until January 2nd, you’ll see that the past, and certain charming individuals from the past, has a vital role to play in current events. Unexpected insights or news at the end of November make it clear that flexibility is your key to finding peace of mind, happiness, and success.

PISCES
You’ve got plenty of strong, emotional support around you this month with Sun, Venus, and generous Jupiter in Scorpio. If you’d like to explore new skills, knowledge, or plan a special trip – now’s an excellent time. And even if your desires are less focused, you’ll benefit from seeing a movie with friends, or listening to music you’ve never heard before. You might even find a new friend, or romantic possibility. Feeding this side of your complex personality is healing and energising – you may have neglected it this year. Saturn in Sagittarius has brought responsibilities and hard work, and for some of you it has been difficult to see much beyond the daily grind. But Saturn is on the move, heading for Capricorn in December. Bit by bit this will change your focus and attitude towards goals and ambitions – and you’ll see just how much you have achieved too. Jupiter in Scorpio will be encouraging you to dream of far horizons until next November – so why not free your visionary Piscean spirit and go on a quest?

Your Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, November 4th

Claire Petulengro, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

 

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)
Your ability to make changes quickly when under pressure has been, and will continue to be, your saving grace. Be careful telling tales on those you work with. You may have to work closer to them than you think in the future.

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)
If you think you can, you will and if you think you can’t, you won’t. Having faith in what you want will help you to keep centred. It will also ensure you don’t get led astray by someone you’ll soon realise is a negative influence.

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)
Don’t talk down to those you meet today. You won’t realise it, but there’s an arrogant side to your chart this week which could see you making enemies of those you have only just made up with.

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)
You’ve attracted such a vast array of characters into your life. There will be an opinion for all subjects if you need it. The most important question is love, but you’re the only one who can answer that, from your heart and lips.

 

 

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)
Money matters come to the fore. You find yourself arguing over the little details instead of the big ones, as certain characters try to lead you away from the mistakes they have made. Make your own plans and trust your own instincts for answers.

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)
You begin to feel more contented with your life and where it’s going. However, you’re still being too easily ruled by those you feel indebted to. Make a break. Be a leader not a follower. New career options are about to make you smile.

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)
Make more of an effort to listen when others speak today. There is much you can and will learn. A new flirtation links to the workplace, so make sure you know what you want from it before you end up with an ‘awkward atmosphere.’

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)
Love and hate can sometimes be very close together for you, too close for comfort even. Try to take a step back today and look at things from other people’s perspectives. You will soon see you have more reason to make up than fall out. Ring now for a relationship revelation.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)
Try not to say negative things about those you meet, but instead work on finding out why they have said or done the things that you can’t stop thinking about. Fellow Sagittarians help you blow off some much-needed steam. Seek them out.

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)
Our life is what our thoughts make it. You have spent far too long trying to please other people. Your element of earth has pushed you into trying to make sure everyone else is ok before you are.

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)
Open your eyes. See the truth of the situation before you. An air sign such as yourself should have learnt by now that no situation is straight forward. Being flexible is what will make your journey a more exciting one.

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)
Make the effort to re-read any forms or documents, especially those that will require your signature. You make friends in high places and you learn where you were going wrong in a financial issue.

 

If You Were Today, Saturday, November 4th

You possess a versatile and creative mind, yet you have a strong appreciation for concrete results. Although you indulge in the pleasures of life, you are also very hard-working and take much pride in your work and in your hobbies.

Your Birthday Year Forecast:

A Full Moon in your Solar Return chart marks this as a year of great personal significance, when major new beginnings, endings, and activities occur. This period is the culmination of a stage of personal growth and development. Events occurring this year may bring various developments in your emotional, psychological, or spiritual life over the past several years to a head. Relationships are especially important. There can be increased activity in your professional and public life, causing a conflict with your domestic and personal goals. There is little moderation in your life this year. Connections are made or ended, or your job focus may change as one focus fades to make way for a new direction. The year ahead is certain to be a very busy, dynamic, and significant period in your life.

You can be feeling good about your work, obligations, and commitments, which are seen not as burdens, but rather as purposeful activities. Independent work is favored this year. You are more disciplined and efficient.

This is also an excellent period for opening up communications with others, as you are more sensitive than usual and more willing to listen. Getting your point across is easier, as it’s not only about what specific words you choose to communicate, you intuitively express the meaning and intention behind the words. You can effectively use words to soothe, heal, and teach this year. You are also more open to new ways of looking at problems, thus it’s considerably easier to find solutions.

You have a larger than usual desire to improve and learn during this period of your life. Optimism and confidence are with you, and you are able to attract fortunate circumstances into your life as a result. Problems are easier to resolve. Your broader perspective on matters keeps you from getting lost in details or overly frustrated by everyday stresses and strains.

There can be ups and downs in your personal relationships and romantic attachments at times this year, but ultimately your social or romantic life settles in. The same may be true of finances for many. Destabilizing circumstances can be part of the picture, but these motivate you to improve and level out your situation.

There can be helpful interactions with superiors or with older or more experienced people during this period, and benefits can come as a result. There can be a choice to structure, limit, or simplify your life in a significant way that leads to major improvements in your life.

You’re taking your responsibilities to others more seriously this year. You could find that you’re attracted to unusual pleasures and objects this year, but that you ultimately know how to save and spend wisely.

On business and financial levels, you’re best off if you develop and improve existing businesses than breaking entirely new ground. In fact, you’re in excellent shape for editing, refining, and overhauling your work and projects. Long-term alliances can be made this year. This is a potentially excellent year for making prosperous connections.

Physical attractiveness and energy levels are excellent during this period. You’re more comfortable with yourself and this increases your popularity.

This is an excellent period for getting organized. You’re in better shape than usual for staying on track and meeting your responsibilities. You are taking your social or romantic life more seriously this year although there can be some ups and downs as you make important changes. Useful contacts can be made during this period.

 

2017 is a Number Seven year for you. Ruled by Neptune. This is a year of preparation, chance, and refinement. It is not a time of dramatic changes. Instead, it’s a year when reflection on the past is helpful, and when refinements to your life path should be made. It’s a good year to study and analyze. Unexpected twists to your life story and “chance” meetings are probable. Advice – take stock of your life in order to prepare for more exciting years to come, examine the past and plan for the future, get in touch with your deepest needs and uncover your personal power, don’t strain yourself or actively try to expand.

2018 will be a Number Eight year for you. Ruled by Saturn. This is a year of power and accomplishment. Actively seeking to expand, taking educated risks, and moving forward are highlighted. This is a year of opportunity, particularly in the material and business world, and opportunities need to be seized. It’s generally not a year to find a new love partner, simply because the focus is on the material world and your place in the world. This is a problem-solving year in which you can expect real, tangible results. Advice – take action, plan ahead, seize opportunities.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, November 5th

Claire Petulengro, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

 

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)
You’re sick of being lied to. You experienced it in the past and you’re not going to go through it again. What you have to do first, is prove that those around you were telling tall stories. Or do you? Move on. Don’t look back.

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)
Travel brings new relationships and also puts a very large smile on your face. You begin to experience new aspects of your personality and you like what you see! Don’t rule out planning new journeys at the last minute.

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)
Stop trying to make things more complicated than they have to be. Try to focus on enjoying the simple things in life. It will help you to get your life into perspective. A flirty feel could see some of you saying things you’ll regret.

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)
The feeling that you need to get things tied up is strong. There will be a fear of starting new things, but with good reason. You want to know that you have cast yourself in a professional light. Don’t worry, you have!

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)
I know you’ve been feeling out of your depth, but I also know that you don’t have to be. Trust in your instincts and do what they tell you today. You have all it takes to be successful, both personally and professionally.

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)
Happiness comes not from having much, but from being content with little. You know you aren’t materialistic, but you come across that way when you test close ones to see how far they will go for you.

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)
You’ll find it hard not to believe some of the rumours going around this week. Act only on what you see, not what you hear. Many of the signs are talking for the sake of it thanks to the arrogance of Mars.

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)
Work and play both take centre stage and you begin to see that you were experiencing the life others told you to live, rather than the one you wanted. You’re back though Scorpio and you’re stronger than ever.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)
You can do anything you want if you stick to your plans Sagittarius. Part of the problem has been that you’ve spent too much time doing things that look right, instead of the things that feel right. Ring now so I can help you find your self confidence.

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)
Sometimes, it’s only when we don’t know what we are doing that we discover the right path in life. Old contacts hold the key to you sorting out new problems in business and financial areas. Ring me so we can put the magic back into your month.

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)
I’m so happy it’s not the beginning of the month any more. You’ve had chance to enter November now and get an idea of what’s expected of you and you’re about to learn that you can easily do what others expect.

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)
Regretting wasted time, leads to more wasted time. Knowing what you want is half the battle. All you have to do is admit your dreams and not the aspirations of those around you. Family proves demanding.

Your Personal Daily Tarot Card

The Chariot



The Chariot is the representation of Victory and the personality traits required to attain victory. The Chariot indicates self-awareness and control. Courage—the ability to overcome fear and confront the unknown head on–is a primary ingredient of any victorious campaign and is denoted by the Chariot. So too is force of will. Often success is as much the product of will power and a refusal to surrender as it is anything else. The Chariot also represents the healthy personality of someone who believes in themselves; someone who can take control of the situation and bring events to a positive end. His successes come in competition with others.

November’s Cinderella Taurus Full Moon

Lynda Hill
a message from Lynda Hill

To read more of Lynda’s insight, please visit her website, Lynda Hill’s Sabian Symbols

Buying The Whole Package Versus Window Shopping

Joy is not in things, it is in us. Richard Wagner

You can’t have everything. Where would you put it? Stephen Wright

Large desire is endless poverty. Indian proverb

We don’t need to increase our goods nearly as much as scaling down our wants. Not wanting something is as good as possessing it. Donald Horban

Advertising may be described as the science of arresting human intelligence long enough to get money from it. Stephen Leacock

What really matters is what you do with what you have. Shirly Lord

When we are not rich enough to be able to purchase happiness, we must not approach too near and gaze on it in shop windows. Tristan Bernard

Marrying a man is like buying something you’ve been admiring for a long time in a shop window. You may love it when you get it home, but it doesn’t always go with everything else in the house. Jean Kerr

November’s Taurus full Moon occurs on November 4, and, it’s a rather Jupiterian lunation. Jupiter, the planet of good luck, abundance and expansion, is conjunct the Sun and opposite the Moon, bringing with it a sense of optimism in amongst some of the more challenging energies that are around at this time.

Jupiter is on a degree that can speak of heading off to make one’s fortune, finding a more rewarding and satisfying place to be, work to do, positions to fill, etc. Jupiter is on Scorpio 6: A GOLD RUSH TEARS MEN AWAY FROM THEIR NATIVE SOIL. Jupiter on this degree, and, it being in Scorpio, can bring all kinds of good financial luck our way, especially if we are connecting in with positive thoughts and directions. We can find our ‘pot of gold’ in all sorts of ways – we just have to be open to good things flowing our way.

An even tighter aspect to this full Moon is the trine to the Sun and the sextile to the Moon from Neptune. It is a very tight aspect, and, it tells us that if we are in alignment with our dreams, hopes and wishes, we can see all kinds of things coming true now. This is especially true if we are mindful and tune into the Law Of Attraction. Making affirmations, though, may not be enough – we have to assume that we have the things we want; that we inhabit the feeling of having the things we want in our lives, and, we don’t concentrate on thinking about the things we don’t have.

Venus, the ruler of Taurus, and therefore the ruler of this Taurus full Moon, is in Libra, the other sign ruled by Venus, and, it is exactly almost to the minute opposite Uranus, which can bring about some surprising, often unexpected and sometimes shocking, outcomes. Sometimes we see something coming with this type of aspect to Venus, sometimes we don’t. The main message from this Venus/Uranus opposition is to let go of those things whether they are possessions, relationships, people, jobs, positions, etc, that are no longer working for us. With Uranus on Aries 26: A MAN POSSESSED OF MORE GIFTS THAN HE CAN HOLD, we can find ourselves either letting go of the old, the outworn or the outgrown OR dropping the ball as we find that our hands are full enough and we can’t quite grasp all the things we might perhaps like to be holding onto. That degree of Uranus can also show that we have so many ‘gifts’, talents, abilities, etc, that we might need to focus on some and let go of the others. There is certainly a lot of potential in this opposition, but, we might find our grip loosening on something in order to be able to take hold of something else. Venus is also in a sextile aspect with Saturn. It’s by being firm and nailing down decisions that we can focus on what’s truly important and bring resolutions to situations that may have been asking for answers.

We also have Mars making a closing square to Pluto over the coming two weeks. This aspect will perfect at the next new Moon, which will be interesting as it talks about either being released from bondage and chains and problems OR being handcuffed, arrested and charged. In other words, we have a very interesting few weeks ahead.

In amongst it all, we have Chiron on Pisces 25: THE PURGING OF THE PRIESTHOOD, squaring Saturn on Sagittarius 25: A CHUBBY LITTLE RICH BOY RIDES UPON A HOBBYHORSE. It seems that for some, the chickens have come home to roost. For others, many may feel that they can step into a position of authority that they have perhaps long waited to occupy. Often this is about doing things you want to do rather than things society says you should be doing. If you’re on the right track, helping others, being of service to the world, there can be rewards here. If one is abusing faith, hope and trust, there can be some rather interesting and severe undoing. We are seeing both scenarios happening in the world around us, and, many of us may be feeling these things within ourselves. The recent sex scandals in Hollywood and elsewhere really fit these Symbols, as do the scandals in government and business that we’re seeing again and again lately.

With Uranus and Saturn in a closing and close fire trine, we are being shown the way to finding a sense of being organised, following our own paths, finding our way out of restrictions and limitations. We may have to jettison some things, though, as Uranus is on a degree that can talk about keeping some things while letting go of others. We may also have to focus on one or two things instead of on a wide variety of things as we could just find ourselves juggling and not being able to concentrate enough if our energies are scattered. This is especially so as Uranus is on Aries 26: A MAN POSSESSED OF MORE GIFTS THAN HE CAN POSSIBLY HOLD. These can be physical possessions, gifts, talents, possibilities, or, memories. Whatever we are juggling, if we’re dropping some balls, we might want to see what needs to be dropped all together.

So, in amongst it all, there are some very positive aspects to this full Moon, as long as we are not casting ourselves in the role of Cinderella. I see the 12th degree of fixed; Taurus 12, Leo 12, Scorpio 12 and Aquarius 12, as being the grand cross of Cinderella. We can either be at the ball, have the invite, the ticket in, sitting at the good table with good people around us, with a nice dress, shoes and looking like a million dollars OR we might find ourselves at home scrubbing the floors. The 12th degree of fixed can talk about those variables. And, this full Moon is on this axis.

The big aspect that needs perhaps our fullest awareness, though, to me, are the Symbols for the nodal axis. The Moon’s south node is on a degree that can have us wondering when things are going to lighten up. It can have us staring into a void and feeling like life may never change. We may feel lonely, cast adrift and uncertain about our future. Having said that, it is the south node, so, we can definitely make some measures to steer clear of this energy, even if we may see it in the world around us. The south node is on Aquarius 21: A WOMAN DISAPPOINTED AND DISILLUSIONED, COURAGEOUSLY FACING THE FUTURE. This energy can rather easily be seen through the ‘Me Too’ movement that we’ve been seeing on social media.

The Moon’s north node is not much easier as we may wonder if we’re ever going to get anywhere (we are, we have a lot going on in this full Moon chart that says as much). It’s on Leo 21: INTOXICATED CHICKENS DIZZILY FLAPPING THEIR WINGS TRYING TO FLY. This nodal axis is not an easy one, but, if we keep our wits about us, make some good decisions, see our lives unfolding in the ways we want and keep steering a direct course straight ahead, we will get past this time which may feel rather disorienting. Although obviously not always, I do often see this opposition of Leo and Aquarius 21 as being one of the disillusionment and loneliness that can erupt from alcoholism, drugs, being alone, feeling neglected, etc.

I believe that, if we concentrate on the dream, we may more easily see and find ourselves through to the reality that we want. Jupiter and Neptune seem to be able to deliver on that on this full Moon. We, however, must keep the faith.

The full Moon each month marks a time of heightened energies and events. It often marks the culmination of the energies released at the new Moon. Emotions can be supercharged as the Sun and Moon are on opposite sides of the zodiac and illumination is increased – it’s like we can see in the dark – and we can be hyper-aware as well as being hyper-awake. The effects of a full Moon can be major or minor, depending on how they interact with your own chart. Sometimes, realisations or events that are unleashed, or unlocked, can stretch their meaning months into the future. A lot can be learned at the time of the full Moon and whether it’s lunacy or illumination, or a combination of both, there’s magic unleashed with every full Moon.

The full Moon is on Taurus 12: A YOUNG COUPLE WALK DOWN MAIN-STREET, WINDOW-SHOPPING – the following is my interpretation from my book The Sabian Oracle: 360 Degrees Of Wisdom –

Commentary: ‘A Young Couple’ are walking down the ‘Main-Street, Window-Shopping’. They may be looking with hopes for the future, or perhaps they are just seeking to while away the time together. Regardless, they are an image of youth and the expectations of bigger and better things. If this ‘Young Couple’ have goals in common and a common path to share, all will be well and things will unfold naturally. It may be that in light of their social position or their financial possibilities, they can only ‘Window-Shop’ for the moment. Is this ‘Couple’ really ‘Window-Shopping’ together, or is only one of them dreaming of what they could have and how things could be better? Are they “together” or do they really want different things out of life?

Oracle: Things are probably out of reach for you at the moment, including the stability of your domestic or emotional needs, but that shouldn’t stop you looking or planning for the future. However, care may need to be taken, as jealousy and greed can rise up easily when there seems to be so much, so close and yet so far away. Enjoy the display and the quiet moments of togetherness without rush, and then get back to your real life. Realize that even though things feel far off in some way, things of inner worth are available to you, right now. Is there an issue concerning commitment to relationship, or is this a situation of just having a look to see what might be possible for the future? Now is possibly not the right time to make any firm decisions, but rather to look at all your possibilities and options. ‘Window-Shop’ a little and share your dreams. See how they can turn into reality.

Keywords: The longing for “things”. The allure of ownership. Consumerism. Trying to raise money. Worrying about the “cost” of things. Weddings and engagements. Credit cards. Finances that are shared. Shared dreams. The future and its possibilities. Young people. Planning. Shopping. The honeymoon period. So much so close and yet so far. Cinderella or the belle of the ball?

The Caution: Denying happiness because of material deficiency. “Keeping up with the Jones”. Not focusing on your partner/friend. Unsure of where one stands. Being unwilling to commit to anything just yet. Avoiding the heart of one’s relationship. Focusing on the financial side. Issues of ‘who pays for what’. Arguments over money or possessions. Merely ‘Window Shopping’ not committing. Overspending. Being in debt. Monetary distractions. Missed opportunities.

The Karmic Degree for the full Moon is Taurus 11: A WOMAN SPRINKLING LONG ROWS OF FLOWERS

This Symbol shows the need to take time to nurture your physical self. The mind needs to take a rest and the body needs to be allowed to come to bloom and bask, a little, in the light. Keeping an eye on things that you are responsible for will ensure that they don’t dry out and fade away ahead of, or before, their time. Weeding out undesirable factors will be a necessary part of the process as will tending to those who can’t or won’t look after themselves. Quiet moments of tender care can enliven others and allow them to grow.

Keywords: Having patience and care. Nurturing and fertilizing creativity. External evidence of internal beauty. Looking after small details to reap treasures later. The Tree of Life. Stopping to smell the roses. Paying attention to detail. Flower essences. Sprinkling love and sustenance. Watering and fertilizing. Tending the soil. Care and love.

The Caution: Giving superficial attention just to keep up appearances. Neglect of things once they’re established. Giving up on projects half way through. Dehydration and neglect. Droughts or energy, love or feeling. Neglecting things in favor of other priorities. Water restrictions.

The Quest Degree for the full Moon is Taurus 13: A PORTER CARRYING A MOUNTAIN OF HEAVY BAGGAGE

This Symbol implies someone who tends to carry the load for others. They often feel responsible for everyone and everything. The ‘Porter’ will usually spring to attention when asked to help or to shoulder the burden of other’s luggage or their baggage. In fact, you may be doing a lot to help others, but not getting much appreciation or thanks. Be wary that you are not just helping people to hang on to their extra ‘baggage’, through your desire to be useful and helpful. This can weigh them down when you are no longer available. Grinning and bearing the weight only works for so long before one tires of it.

Keywords: Self-reliance. Owning other people’s ‘garbage’. Shouldering baggage or weight. Being weighed-down. Feeling responsible for everything. Bad backs and posture. Carrying others. Counseling people, taking on their emotions. Bad backs, shoulders, knees, etc. Strain and wear. Bearing the family guilt. Luggage. Trolleys. Looking for tips.

The Caution: Being busy with other peoples’ problems. Unable to work for your own benefit. Carrying other peoples’ responsibilities. Being indispensable until the energy is all worn out. Not knowing when to say “no” to other’s demands. The burden of debts. Being useful but feeling unimportant.

The Moon symbolizes: Emotions, moods, mother, family, clan, domestic issues, relationship to home and country. Feelings, sentiments, nourishment, emotional nurturing, monkey chatter mind, lunar and menstrual cycles, clarity of emotions or lunacy. Female energy – yours and others.

symbols_sun.jpgThe Sun is on Scorpio 12: A BRILLIANT ASSEMBLY OF OFFICIALS AT AN OFFICIAL EMBASSY BALL

This Symbol implies the ability to mix with people from all over the world, to talk in different kinds of languages or travel in the circles of the elite. There’s probably an issue about being invited to the ‘right’ functions or that you’re sure of being on the list of those who gather to make decisions or call the shots. Enjoying social situations can be rewarding on many levels, however, the conditions may sometimes be caged in rather strict protocol and rules of behavior that you and others have to adhere to. Look at yourself and observe whether you are being your natural self or putting on a show for others. This can imply social climbing and political strategies.

Keywords: Political game playing. Manners and protocol. Dressing and looking right. Who knows who and what it’s worth. Social and political standing. The Cinderella story. Sparkling occasions. Knowing etiquette. Looking for social connections and outcomes that are not necessarily immediate. International relations. The “My Fair Lady” story. Social engineering. Speaking the right language.

The Caution: The habit of role-playing. Not being taught how to behave in “polite society”. Having to learn how to fit in without having instruction. Dining, drinking and enjoying life whilst others can “eat cake”. Diplomatic standoffs. Gatecrashing. Feeling out of one’s depth. Political point scoring that ignores the human dimension.

The Karmic Degree for the Sun is Scorpio 11: A DROWNING PERSON IS BEING RESCUED

This Symbol shows the ability, or the necessity, of helping others, being on hand when they need it and rescuing and bringing a sense of life back to people. It can show a rescuing nature; a counselor, therapist, life saver, etc. Of course, it can be that you need “Rescuing” in some way, whether it’s through counseling, getting a much-needed loan, or having stress and strain lifted so that you can breathe freely again. This symbol often shows someone overpowered or overcome by their inability to cope emotionally. Often we feel like we are being suffocated, by our marriage, job, friendships, life path or the lack of these things. Know that help is at hand and soon you’ll be able to breathe easily again.

Keywords: Resuscitation. Regaining one’s breath. Finding life renewed. Asthma, bronchitis, breathing difficulties. Finding help in moments of crisis. Needing a hand. Being rescued. Salvation on any level. Ventilators. Breathing equipment. Oxygen. Dependence. Last minute reprieves. Born again experiences. Help.

The Caution: Panicking to draw help rather than learning how to cope. Unrealistic reliance on others. Getting into deep water on a regular basis. Not wanting to save yourself.

The Quest Degree for the Sun is Scorpio 13: AN INVENTOR PERFORMS A LABORATORY EXPERIMENT

This Symbol shows the ability, or necessity, of being able to take risks, to be an explorer or someone who does things rather differently than most people. It’s your job to look for creative solutions and work with them. When things are just not working, you probably need to try different combinations and different possibilities in order to have the desired result. Being willing to go out on a limb can bring all kinds of unexpected results, some wonderfully rewarding, but some, if not well considered, could end up blowing up in your face. By persevering, you will not only find solutions to complex situations but also learn a lot from any errors you make along the way.

Keywords: Creating one’s vision. Thinking quickly and making momentary decisions. Being prepared to risk failure. Bringing different mixes of things and/or people together. Taking calculated risks to see what will happen. Seeing if things live up to expectations. Looking for answers. The “mad professor”. Mixing chemicals. Measuring and weighing. Going by one’s gut reactions. Inventions and experiments. Discovery. Laboratories. Research.

The Caution: Becoming obscured by pointless goals. Making things up. Being one-eyed and focused to the exclusion of all else. Not fully understanding the consequences of actions. Always taking risks. Not taking adequate cautions. Not keeping track of what you’re doing. Ignoring warning signs. Being a “mad professor”.

The Sun symbolizes: One’s core center, spirit, heart, issues to do with father, men, self, ego, your male side. How you radiate your sense of being. What others see, how you are recognized or remembered, sense of identity and connection with male energy – yours and others.

symbols_mercury.jpgMercury is on Scorpio 28: THE KING OF THE FAIRIES APPROACHING THEIR DOMAIN

This Symbol shows the ability, or the need, to feel at ease and in charge of your home, territory or domain. You may have been searching for where you belong or where your “Domain” is. Although you may at times be off looking for this, feeling alien and alone won’t work; there’s a need to feel accepted, welcomed and loved. There may be the feeling of wanting to be a dominant leader or having a doting populace. As long as egos are in control, this can be a fabulous experience of ‘returning home’, a nice, and calm and spiritual place to be. Also, this degree can show a world of one’s own creation or imagination – which can be fabulously rewarding although it can also be rather ungrounded in reality.

Keywords: Imaginary worlds. Finding a place. Feeling comfortable. Taking command of life. Leadership and its responsibilities. Feeling like a dominant leader and that one has a doting populace. Being welcomed. Midsummer Night’s Dream. Returning home. Web domains. Finding one’s true vocation or purpose.

The Caution: Imaginary worlds and dependence on trickery. Ridicule aimed at those that don’t have their feet on the ground. Someone acting like a “hot shot”. Feelings of superiority which alienate others. The fear of approaching the unknown. Never finding a real place to settle down. Fairy tales about how life could or should be. Lording it over others. Being bossy and commanding. Being impotent. The fear and loathing of having to accept one’s true place. Not taking command of one’s life. Loneliness. Feeling locked out.

The Karmic Degree for Mercury is Scorpio 27: A MILITARY BAND MARCHES NOISILY ON THROUGH THE CITY STREETS

This Symbol shows the need for occasionally making a show for society to remind ourselves of our successes and achievements, whether they are collective or personal achievements. The “Military Band” can make an enormous amount of noise as it “Marches Noisily”, but sometimes we need to be woken or reminded of the cohesion that a military band can show. Likewise, this can show someone that likes to bang their own drum or to make a big noise about themselves or for the establishment. As long as the audience is ok with this display, one can contain the reaction from others. Sometimes, though, people get annoyed by people banging their drums a little too loudly.

Keywords: Making music to rouse people from complacency. Noisy announcements. Demanding attention. Trumpeting achievements. Reminders from the authorities that individuals are often not in charge. Celebrations of past battles. Corporate advertising. Peace rallies or war marches. Marching and drills. Precision movements. Baton twirling. Drums and trumpets. Spit and polish.

The Caution: A lot of volume that can be too pompous. So much volume that the true message gets lost. Demanding to be heard. Banging one’s drum, even when others might be unresponsive or not want to hear. Blaring announcements. Warnings to others to follow orders or to be complicit. Big ego displays. Propaganda. Threats to peace. Momentary disruptions.

The Quest Degree for Mercury is Scorpio 29: AN INDIAN WOMAN PLEADING TO THE CHIEF FOR THE LIVES OF HER CHILDREN

This Symbol implies the need, or the ability, to be an advocate for the rights of others, particularly youngsters or children, and being prepared to engage with others in order to bring about a desired result. You may find yourself standing-up for those in your care, or for those who need your care, whether it is your children, your ideals or creative pursuits. Even if they sometimes deserve rejection, punishment or judgment, the solution will possibly be found not in being defensive as in simply asking for consideration, mercy and leniency. This can also show bringing a healing to others, whether it’s through their own actions or through finding the healers that are needed to affect a cure.

Keywords: Patterns of family dominance. Pleading one’s cause. Seeking love, mercy or forgiveness. Asking higher powers to step in, help or heal. Intercession. Counseling. Protecting the younger ones. Family law courts, magistrates, lawyers. Divorce. Young people taken seriously. Guilt and innocence. Weaving words to a desired outcome. Intervention. Schools. Juvenile delinquents. Being nailed for an offence. Speaking on behalf of others. Tribunals. Begging for mercy. Custody battles. Sexual discrimination. Advocates.

The Caution: Being dominated. Sacrificing one’s self for peace and quiet. Making a spectacle. Ramming one’s opinions. Going on the defensive. Bullying and browbeating. Harping on and on about things that should be forgiven or forgotten. Disruptive elements that get away with anything. Being expelled. Being made an example of.

Mercury symbolizes: Mind, thought, communication, memory, expression, intelligence. News, exchanges, chatting, conversations, short journeys, connections with others, telephones, emails, siblings, neighbors, the reasoning mind. Day-to-day activities. Cars, keys, small animals.

symbols_venus.jpg Venus is on Libra 26: AN EAGLE AND A LARGE WHITE DOVE TURNING CONSTANTLY INTO EACH OTHER

This Symbol implies the ability, or the necessity, of being able to integrate the principle of the will (the “Eagle”) with the principle of the emotions (the “White Dove). Being able to bring these two together makes for a much stronger effect on others and the personality is strengthened and given an edge that it otherwise might not have. There may be confusion around whether to use force or love in some situations. Being firm and yet kind, being flexible and yet sure of what you’re doing or where you’re heading keeps one on an even keel. Alternation of these responses will lead to the best solution.

Keywords: Tempering one’s will with love and bolstering up one’s emotional responses with strength. Cooperation of mind, will, spirit and heart. Schizophrenia. Eagles and doves. Being strong and soft at the same time. Adopting the attitudes of spirit, power and love.

The Caution: Being “all over the place” with reactions. Being changeable. Not acting for the purpose of a definite outcome. Confusing others with conflicting behavior. Not knowing what to expect next. On one minute—off the next.

Venus symbolizes: Relatedness, cooperation, what attracts you. The experience of sweetness, beauty or delight. Social interactions, love, friends, how you reach out to people. Feminine persona, relationship with mother and females. Money, possessions, sense of values.

symbols_mars.jpgMars is on Libra 8: A BLAZING FIREPLACE IN A DESERTED HOME

This Symbol implies the ability, or the necessity, to provide warmth and reassurance in times of emptiness, loss or desertion. You may need to remember that even in times of real loneliness, when you feel separated from your ‘center’, there is a constant, unseen, sustaining energy always ready to welcome you home: whether it be the fire of your own spiritual center, the warmth and familiarity of family and kin, or a knowing that one is sustained by humanity at large. You may need this reassurance yourself or you may be the one to help others in their hour of need.

Keywords: Security and comfort left behind. A fire left blazing inside to reassure. Wood for burning. Gas, electricity connections. Holiday homes, or homes that are rarely visited. Homes filled with love, if not people or possessions. The warmth of the heart. Holding a candle for someone who’s gone. Fertility issues. Heart and hearth. Fireplaces. The place to which one returns.

The Caution: A sense of isolation, separation, abandonment, and bitterness. Sabotage by, or of, loved ones and family. Being forced out of the home, possibly for social reasons. Desertion and decay of love. Never being at home because of work concerns and commitments. Separation. Divorce. Latch-key children. Feeling alone and out in the cold. The light being on, but no one at home. Lack of domestic supplies.

The Karmic Degree for Mars is Libra 7: A WOMAN FEEDING CHICKENS AND PROTECTING THEM FROM THE HAWKS

This Symbol shows someone who nourishes and protects and feels a sense of being in charge and being responsible for those who can’t look after themselves. There is probably the need to look after those in your care, whether persons, things or ideas. There could be dangers that no-one else seems to be taking seriously, however, your efforts to protect and nourish will be rewarded in the future. Feeding, nourishing and protecting those around you will pay off sometimes in unexpected ways. There’s a need to be careful not to favor some far more than others or to take too much on or feel responsible for everything and everyone as this can exhaust and limit what you’re trying to accomplish.

Keywords: Nurturance, protection and guardianship. Being on the lookout for changes in the atmosphere. Spotting problems that nobody else notices. Shielding innocents from “bad-guys”. Motherhood and the stress of it. Predators. Being firm with outsiders. Asylum. Places of residence

The Caution: Overprotection. Unable to cope with everyday problems. Taking over with the pretence of the need for protection. Not allowing others to grow up. Always being on the lookout for problems. Neurotic worrying about what may happen. Seeing the world as a big, scary place. Being picked on. Taking advantage of the innocent. Protection money. Attacking others.

Mars symbolizes: Drive, determination or agenda, how you get to your goals. How you express and handle anger, ambition, assertion of self and ability to step forward. The male principle, sexuality, the ability to step up to the plate when one needs to. Fight or flight.

symbols_jupiter.jpgJupiter is on Scorpio 6: A GOLD RUSH TEARS MEN AWAY FROM THEIR NATIVE SOIL

This Symbol shows the desire to strike out for new territories, new possibilities, new shores, in an attempt to stroke “Gold”; to find more money, a better life with more rewards, etc. The “Gold Rush” often tears people away from their usual environment, their homes, their country, their “Native soil”, looking for a better place. The temptation is to chase the promise of riches elsewhere. You may have a choice between stable, established situations and more unstable, exciting, temporary or risky situations. The actual promise of abundance in far away places is sometimes worth the effort of moving on, other times not. You might ‘strike gold’ or you may just find yourself a long way from home.

Keywords: Strong desires to move on. The longing and the search for the easy fulfillment of hopes and dreams. Leaving one’s native soil. Having a cause or mission to pursue. Leaving home, people, family. Dropping everything to chase a project. Pilgrimages. The search for riches. Immigration and migration. Listening to clues. The search for the Holy Grail. Pursuing a better life.

The Caution: Chasing the impossible dream. Losing everything. Being unrealistic or opportunistic. Not being content with what one’s got. The grass being greener elsewhere. Lusting after rewards that may be unreal or transitory. Risking what one has for what one could have. Wild goose chases.

Jupiter symbolizes: the big picture, expansion, exploration, aspirations, religious and philosophical ideals, issues to do with traveling, foreign lands, people and traditions, culture, education, generosity, luck, abundance, support, optimism. Insight through knowledge and wisdom.

symbols_saturn.jpgSaturn is on Sagittarius 25: A CHUBBY LITTLE RICH BOY RIDES UPON A HOBBYHORSE

This Symbol shows someone who has everything in life playing and enjoying doing whatever they want in a safe and comfortable atmosphere – the ‘Boy’ does something he feels like doing, something easy and natural. He plays and may not be thinking too much about what’s going on in the real world as he is shielded from the more harmful elements of society because he is ‘Rich’. You may feel that you are doing what is necessary, but this is more like a training situation and will lead to greater ability in the future, although you should watch out for the propensity to be ‘flogging a dead horse’. Practice and play, but one day you’re going to have to prove yourself in a more rigorous, demanding situation. Protected practice. Imaginative play. Going on and on about something. Hobbies. Playtime. Toys being provided. Exercise. Boys and their toys. Unrestrained passions.

Keywords: Hobbies and their pleasures. Unrestrained, imaginative play that can lead to truly wonderful creations, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Protected practice. Having to have one’s sexual needs fulfilled before one loses energy. Exercise, doing something because one can. Constantly going off on distracting schemes. Boys and their toys. Unrestrained passion.

The Caution: Someone spoilt and shallow. Feeling that one can take on anything without thought of the actual consequences. Playing when one should be more serious about life. Not doing one’s work, avoiding it by doing ‘fun’ things instead. Having no friends to play with.

The Quest Degree for Saturn is Sagittarius 26: A FLAG-BEARER IN A BATTLE

This Symbol shows standing up in “Battle” carrying the “Flag” for your nation, political, social or moral beliefs, or for some issue that needs defending or supporting. The “Flag-Bearer” is often the one ‘out front’, in front of the situation or the army; the one who’s unarmed and yet determined to represent their side. You may feel that there have been achievements done by you or others that need to be acknowledged. Responsibilities pile up on you, and the struggle is not always easy. Don’t worry, though, although everyone around you is busy, they are noticing your leadership abilities. You are often the linchpin of the whole situation.

Keywords: Having the courage of convictions. Standing up for ideals. Representing one’s collective in a worthy cause. Carrying the standard or the ‘Flag’. David and Goliath. Being the messenger. Advocates. Ensigns. Leadership. Self-sacrifice. Fighting for political ideals. Flag waving.

The Caution: The sacrificial lamb. Overzealous idealism. Empty shows of courage. The scapegoat. Always being ready to go into battle. Violence. Fanaticism. Stepping out of line. An inability to keep quiet. Not knowing when to back off.

Saturn symbolizes: Authority, rules, discipline and obligation The heavy stuff. What we fear, loss, karma, aging, the establishment, orthodoxy, tradition, status, the concept of time, walls, boundaries, limits, older people, restrictions, patience, conquering difficulties.

symbols_uranus.jpgUranus is retrograde on Aries 26: A PERSON POSSESSED OF MORE GIFTS THAN THEY CAN HOLD

This Symbol often shows someone who has more talent, more possessions, more gifts than most other people. Perhaps too much is demanded or expected of you or you expect life to give you more and more and more. Recognize that you are surrounded by abundance, but perhaps you are unable to experience it all at once. If you don’t feel you have the ability to cope with all that life throws at you then look in your ‘storehouse’ and you could be surprised at talents you have that have never even been used. You may have to give up some things in order to make room for others.

Keywords: Potentials and the obsessions they can bring. Obsessions about “having things” or achieving goals. Counting one’s blessings. Jack-of-all-trades. Having to drop the bundle if one more thing is added. Being talented and blessed. Enormous responsibilities. Wanting to contain all possibilities. Storage. So many things to do-so little time.

The Caution: Not being able to focus on one issue at a time, or on ideas of real worth and therefore not really achieving anything. Inability to gain or contain everything that is desired. Ambition that knows no bounds. Greediness and insatiability. Being told that you can’t have what you want. Things piling up. Juggling and dropping the ball. Feeling as though you will lose everything. Being overwhelmed with possibilities.

Uranus symbolizes: The unexpected, things that are individual or ‘different’. Charged, energetic dynamics, electricity, light, lightning bolts, sudden changes, those who live on the fringe of society. Sudden turns and twists of fate. Rebellion, surprises, liberation, freedom.

symbols_neptune.jpgNeptune is retrograde on Pisces 12: AN EXAMINATION OF INITIATES IN THE SANCTUARY OF AN OCCULT BROTHERHOOD

This Symbol shows passing the tests that life, other people, spirituality or karma throws at you. You are likely to find at times that you are being judged by those above or around you. It is difficult to see what their qualifications to judge you are, but this is often the nature of progression through the ranks. People being critical of one another can lead to better behavior, better performances or the like, or it can lead to feeling judged, violated and intruded upon. It can seem as though our lives are like lessons; we are periodically “Examined” to see how we are doing on our course. Be careful not to shut yourself away to avoid being seen or having to endure criticism.

Keywords: The ordeal that comes to any initiate for entrance into higher realms of being. Hermits. Tests, examinations, having to prove oneself. Being judged or being judgmental. Being cross-examined. Rarefied atmospheres that demand personal sacrifice. Initiations. Proving courage and purity. Trials. The attainment of knowledge. Apprenticeships. Being a candidate. Finding out how and where one fits in. One-eyed dedication. Trial by media. Cults. Rituals.

The Caution: Refusing advice. Arrogance. People saying “I told you so”. Invading other’s private space. Hiding away because of fear or social ridicule. Severe trials and tests that strip the joy of life. People assuming they know the truth about others. Fear of failure. Not living up to other’s expectations. Narrow mindedness. Harsh treatment. Going without.

Neptune symbolizes: Mystical, “out there,” spirituality and con artists. Dreams, mysteries, mystics and religious issues. Intuition, clairvoyance, seeing into the invisible. Addictive, chaotic, charming, deceptive, illusory, co-dependent, sensory awareness.

symbols_pluto.jpgPluto is on Capricorn 18: THE UNION JACK FLIES FROM A NEW BRITISH WARSHIP

This Symbol talks about supervision, border protection and control. There can be a feeling of having to oversee a large ’empire’ where reliability and leadership are vital. This can be a tiring responsibility, but there can be an awareness of the protection of ‘all who went before’. However, political and social restraints from the past could be causing you to feel that you’ve somehow got to ‘wage war’. Issues to do with the government can come up, whether you agree with what they do or not. You may be confronted with having to make your presence felt and guard your territory. Effective supervision will help you to relax.

Keywords: Colonialism. Protectionism. The government, big business and the media. Class-consciousness. Power and political displays. Displays of “law and order”. Border patrols and protection. Strength and might. Nationalism. Royalty. The ruling elite. Supervision. The armed forces. Patrols. Pitting people against each other. Empires. Victory bringing riches. The mother country. The struggle against decline. Flags. Imperialism. The Commonwealth. The rule of law.

The Caution: Artificial shows of strength. Bullying from the “big guys”. Being armed “to the teeth”. Strong-arm tactics. Disrespect for authority. People or institutions that throw their weight around. Anarchy. Traitors. Being anti-establishment. Social Disintegration. War games. Civil wars. Feeling squeezed by authority. Rebellion. Civilian lives lost for political causes. Governing forces that deny individual rights. Invasions. Being defensive.

Pluto symbolizes: Unconscious motivations, depth psychology, history. Sex, procreation at a deep level, intensity, profound emotions, taking hold of one’s power. Being king or queen of one’s underworld. Strength, survival mode instincts. Big money. Big power. The Plutocracy. Power vs power struggles.

symbols_chiron.jpgChiron is retrograde on Pisces 25: THE PURGING OF THE PRIESTHOOD

This shows seeing through those who hold important positions yet abuse trust or those who make great claims but don’t live up to them. At this time, you’re likely to find yourself leaving others behind, kicking them out, or experiencing falls from grace. Periodically, there is a need to examine moral and spiritual sincerity. It is easy to allow those who don’t really belong to stay because of familiarity or habit. We can lose sight of the ideal through our rationalizing intellect, ego and emotive passion. There is a need to cleanse and purify your life, leading to better spiritual values. What side of the “Purging” are you on? Are you the one with the ‘right motives’? Who’s in charge?

Keywords: Revealing the truth of people for who and what they truly are. Cutting people off. Throwing out things that don’t measure up. Forced retirement and redundancies. Payouts at the end of employment. Dismissals. Opting out for moral reasons. Being fired. Holes left where someone took up a lot of space.

The Caution: Stressful battle over who’s in charge. Blackmail. The threat of being thrown out. Something being revealed. Evicting people because they deceive, lie or mislead or just because they’re not liked. Bringing somebody down. Scapegoating others. Corruption and scandal that threaten collapse. Wanting to appear to be doing the right thing. Coverups. The burning of books. Perversion.

Chiron symbolizes: Our wounds, Chiron is known as The Wounded Healer. The wounds are The Stories That We Tell Ourselves, it is where we have to focus on healing, it can show things that are out of shape or misplaced or in need of repair.

symbols_north_node.jpgThe Moon’s North Node is on Leo 21: INTOXICATED CHICKENS DIZZILY FLAP THEIR WINGS TRYING TO FLY

This Symbol can indicate the loss of reality or rational reactions. Often it shows not being in touch with what’s realistically possible and what’s worth trying. There can be an attempt to do too much or too soon or before maturing enough to be capable of doing it. Still, trying to do things that are outside one’s natural sphere can be a good thing, as long as you don’t overreach and cause damage. Sometimes, first attempts at a new experience may prove less than elegant or skillful. Soon you’ll look back with amusement at these early attempts. Find enjoyment in the “Intoxication”, but come back to earth when the feelings vanish.

Keywords: False courage. Inexperience. Trying to do something beyond the bounds of experience or possibility. Getting “out of it” in order to escape something. Getting all het-up over tiny or illusive prospects. Alcohol and drugs and the allure of escapism. Drinking binges. Ecstasy. Hangovers. Attempting to do the impossible.

The Caution: Giddiness, lightheadedness, unwanted side effects. Getting nowhere. Inability to ground things in reality. Making a fool of one’s self. Intoxication that inhibits seeing what’s really possible. Alcoholism and drug habits. Losing reality. Mindlessness that confuses or misleads. Going too far too fast. Forgetting who or where you are.

The Moon’s North Node symbolizes: This is known as quite a ‘karmic point’ (although all planets and points in a chart can be’karmic’). One’s destiny in this life. The things you are meant to integrate, move towards, become. Destined relationships and relationship issues can show up here.

symbols_south_node.jpgThe Moon’s South Node is on Aquarius 21: A WOMAN DISAPPOINTED AND DISILLUSIONED, COURAGEOUSLY FACING THE FUTURE

This Symbol shows the need, to be “Courageous” in the face of “Disappointment” or Disillusionment”. The “Woman” may have always thought things would be different but one day she wakes up to find that her dreams have not born fruit, at least not as yet. There can be feelings of wasting energy, and thoughts of failure, but being strong and vigilant against negative thoughts can turn situations around. It always helps to look on disappointment as a teacher. There’s always hope that things will get better. Reconnect with what is available and possible, and, although it requires courage, we always return with greater wisdom and understanding.

Keywords: Breaking through illusions. Facing stark reality with hope. Loneliness and depression overcome. Positive outlooks. Counting one’s blessings. Looking towards the future. Having to battle through relationship losses while maintaining a sense of self and purpose. Turning points reached. Having a belief in miracles. Choosing joy.

The Caution: Wallowing in failure. Not seeing the joy and beauty of one’s life. Accepting defeat. Feeling like all is lost. Bitterness. Walling one’s self off from others. Not trusting people. Finding nothing to be happy about. Feeling deserted and alone. Not letting go of the past. Injuries. Infertility. Incurable “dis-eases”. Unrequited love. The loss of the partner. Staring into space. Being a sad, old person.

The Moon’s South Node symbolizes: Past karmic patterns to be overcome, can be habits that are good but can describe things, relationships, issues that you need to let go of, or, hold you back from manifesting your true destiny. Relationships that feel karmic and difficult, memories from the past.

November 2017 Energy Report

Jennifer Hoffman
a message from Jennifer Hoffman

To view more of Jennifer’s insight, please visit her website,  The Enlightening Life

October will be remembered as a month when the revolution began because it’s when humanity awakened to a sobering reality of what 3D power, domination, and control fully entails. From the Vegas shooting on the first to the rash of reports of sexual harassment and abuse by Hollywood moguls, it was a month of awakening to a grim reality that we have collectively given our power away and we need to take it back. That’s where we begin this month and we have quite a lot happening to support us in these new directions. But we cannot simply demand our power back without making the necessary internal adjustments that we need to create space for it, as well as the deeper energetic adjustments so we get new power that we can use in the integrated 3D/5D energetic spaces and not old 3D power that is no longer valid or valuable to us. It’s going to be a month of change for everyone, in every way.

Let’s begin with November’s keywords of self-esteem and self-awareness and what they mean to us now. Esteem is a measure of the love, honor, and respect we give to someone or some thing. Self-esteem is a measure of how we love, honor, and respect ourselves. While it’s something we want from others, we don’t always realize that what they give us is merely the mirror of the level of those qualities we hold within ourselves. We hold others in ‘high esteem’ at the same time being our most negative critic and toxic judge.

This is an example of what we have seen in the Hollywood scandals – the cult of celebrity and those whom we have been holding in high esteem are now shown to have been guilty of the worst perversions for decades, even as we ‘celebrated’ their celebrity. But it’s not only in Hollywood, it’s in government and politics and in corporations too. Our lesson from this is that we must not give our power away to others, or hold them in greater esteem than they are worthy of or deserve.

Most importantly, we must not hold anyone at a higher level of esteem than we hold ourselves. Whatever or whomever we put on a pedestal will eventually fall off of it.

That’s one of November’s lessons too, to shift our perspective about worthiness and deserving. So often we blame ourselves when others don’t love, honor, and respect us but that is not valid because people cannot value someone whom they believe shines more brightly than they do. Ouch – did I just say that? It’s true. No one can esteem something that is not valuable to them. Just as I don’t hold camping trips or tomatoes in high esteem because I don’t like them, your light, energy, and power are not valuable or held in esteem by the person who wants to stay in the dark, density, and disempowerment of their own victim consciousness.

Another aspect of November that is going to inspire our energetic choices is the continuing Saturn/Chiron square which represents the battle between the Martyred Healer and Empowered Mastery. We have had this aspect all year.  November is the final square aspect that occurs before Saturn moves into  Capricorn in December. This aspect represents a choice between light and dark, 3D and 5D, victim or victor. What are we going to choose individually and as a collective? The victims of Hollywood’s sexual abuse perpetrators are letting us know the heavy cost of victimization and that is being met by a roar of disapproval from the public show, just a few months before, were still blinded by the ‘stars’ and their fake glitter. I think the choice is being made but in case we need a final reminder, we have one more Saturn/Chiron square this month.

November is an 11 month and 2017 is a 1 year so we have 111 energy all month, together with 5 days where that energy is magnified, on November 1, 10, 11, 19, and 29. It’s a power month with a lot of power days, in a power year. What a way to give 3D density its final sendoff because in December we have Saturn moving into Capricorn where it’s going to join Pluto. This is going to be interesting.

Pluto was in Capricorn from 1762 to 1778, times of great citizen uprisings against royal and government oppression and control. It’s now in the same degrees and going to be joined by Saturn in an empowering conjunction, rather than the Saturn/Pluto square of the early 1760s. This is a new paradigm that is going to put a new spin on the overthrow of the old system of 3D ‘power over’ model. While the royalty was forced to concede to public demands for self-rule in the 1760s, they didn’t really go away, they just re-invented themselves and became part of the government. This time, though, things are different. Pluto has a ‘scorched earth policy’ when it comes to resisted transformation and the human collective together with a new higher frequency energetic imperative is going to dramatically shift that landscape. We’re seeing this in our lives as well as in the collective too.

And to add more interest to the story we have a Mercury retrograde in December whose shadow period begins November 8. This one is in Sagittarius, within 1 degree of the January 2017 retrograde, an opportunity to tie up any loose ends before we enter a new year and a brand new frequency.

Saturn also hits that retrograde degree in December before it shifts into Capricorn. This is the new spirituality but not as in the ‘new age’, this is the light age, the shift from darkness to light. We have learned that trying to get the dark to co-exist with the light is not going to work because the only way that can happen is for us to dim the light. It’s time for us to all shine brightly and let the dark join the light. If it doesn’t want to that’s OK because there is no choice – the light always illuminates the darkness. And in the presence of light darkness becomes irrelevant.

What’s going on in November does pit the ‘establishment’ against the people, the globalist ‘new world order’ power, domination, and control agenda against the freedom of energetic sovereignty, self-awareness and self-esteem. 5D is the paradigm of connection, collaboration, community and cooperation and it cannot co-exist within an environment that demands total control, domination, subservience, and power. Through our willingness to shine we have made our choices and now we have a chorus of voices and a field of light where we once had small voices speaking and a few lights scattered across a broad expanse of darkness.

The tables have turned, we are entering the Light Age as Light Beacons and it’s our time to shine. This can be a great month for transformation – the opportunities will be there – but it’s not going to be easy or resistance free. We always knew the dense energies would put up a fight and now they are throwing everything they have at us which, on one hand, looks desperate because it is, and on the other hand is serving to bring us closer together, which is what we must do to collectively bring this phase of the ascension cycle to completion so we can begin the effort to ground more of the 5D energy into the 3D reality and usher in the peace, joy, love, and prosperity of the Light Age.

Have a wonderful month.

Message for November 2017

I spend a great deal of my time watching and observing, I also spend a great deal of my time listening. It takes time and patience to truly and wholeheartedly listen to another as it means a willingness to step beyond one’s ego and judgement, and to allow another the time and space to speak from their hearts and souls. There are many reasons people refuse to listen but often this happens because they have little space to accommodate the pain, feelings or perspective of others; this could be fear-based or it could be a result of buying into a more collective opinion of ‘normal’. Yet, without listening, how can we ever truly grow or evolve? How can we step beyond the rigid boundaries we see in the world unless we are each willing to listen? To truly listen with compassion, to hear what’s been said and not to let the words float in and out, offering platitudes and denial.

There are many of us in society who, for different reasons, feel unheard. We long for a world where equality and unity reign, a world where each soul has the freedom to be themselves. Feeling trapped for so long can lead to either recoiling and withering, or lashing back in anger. As one of life’s observers, I see this ebb and flow in so many, and my heart often silently breaks when I see bright, shining stars recoil and fade as the pain of trying to twinkle and sparkle becomes too painful. When others judge others they often fail to realise they are crushing the life force and tormenting an often already deeply tormented soul. Many of us on a spiritual path have suffered deeply in life, in many different ways and for many different reasons, yet this pain is often the force that unifies and unites us as it enables us to connect to others, allows us to be vulnerable, and inspires us to hold out a hand to someone in need, offering love where there was pain.

Life is a narrative and maybe what matters more than anything else is the version we tell ourselves. It’s a bit like truth, some may say that ‘truth is truth’ and there can only be one version. This may be true on many levels but, as unique beings, we see life through our own eyes and this means that we see life in a way that no one else can, therefore truth becomes flavoured by experiences. We may try to be open-minded to see other’s perspectives, but, when it boils down to it, what we see is no less valid or important. Yet, we often dismiss or demote, preferring to defer to others or to the masses. We try to appease and placate others, often inwardly screaming against the process as we sense how far it is taking us away from ourselves.

We become trapped in-between trying to be ‘normal’ and fulfilling those expectations to be what we feel we should be, against longing to allow our true essence to be free, to dance in the morning light and tenderly breathe deeply into the world. There are many gentle, fragile souls in the world, all struggling with how best to fit, breathe and be free. Yet, it’s time to realise there is nothing to fit into as normality is the force that controls and distorts truth, it stops each soul being free and it is weaponised as a form of control when someone starts to blossom into an individual that others may struggle to understand. Many on the spiritual path and many gifted creative souls all walk this fragile boundary on the periphery, here but not quite here. Of course, it’s this path that allows such potent and powerful creativity to flow but it’s time to ground this more now in order to bring about a new evolution…

With love,

Sarah-Jane

Aries

♈

As the winds of change continue to gather momentum, there is a growing sense you are beginning to feel ready to embrace a new chapter in your life. Although it’s hard to say exactly what this new chapter will compromise, you seem to be ready to step from beyond the four walls of your everyday life in order to explore pastures new. This could be as simple as a shifting philosophy on life rather than any major changes, but you cannot help but sense the inklings rippling through your consciousness that you are on the bridge between where you were and where you’re meant to be. Of course, you could look at this from a different perspective to say that this is always the case as you are always in-between here and there, but this shift feels different: it feels more distilled and tangible, as though you have broken through a barrier in your life in order to reach towards something new.

Finding the exact words here is hard but there really are no words to describe this state of being as it’s fluid, free-flowing and constantly shifting; you are in rapidly shifting sands and the essence of this is changing from moment to moment. So, rather than trying to understand this process, try to feel it instead and allow yourself to become one with it in order to make the most of this somewhat magical journey from here to there. It’s easy to get hung-up on what ‘there’ really means to you, after all, you’ve spent a long time trying to achieve your dreams, but ‘there’ also shifts and changes as it flexes and bends as you grow and evolve, so trust your intuition to lead the way and enjoy the ride…

Taurus

♉

November looks set to be a month of revelation, awakening and emergence as you begin to explore new avenues and pathways in life which open up your consciousness to the bigger picture of ‘what is’. ‘What is’ is rarely an easy state of being to be in as it needs a willingness to be fully present in the here and now, as well as an acceptance of letting go of the concept of linear time that so often traps and confines between looking back on what was and gazing ahead to what could be. Being in a space of ‘what is’ is much more nitty-gritty and real, as it shows you are allowing yourself to be fully present in each and every moment, and not letting the rose-tinted spectacles of wishful-thinking or tunnel vision distort the view.

This is quite a monumental shift for you, and it’s one that’s likely to be sweeping you off your feet as it’s powerful and potent, and it looks set to re-shape and re-define your life from the inside, out. You have spent much of your life trying to be the version of you that you felt was ‘right’: you’ve wanted to keep others happy and to live by the ought’s you’ve carved out. This willingness to give so much has enabled others to do a great deal but the cost has been a shrinking and depleting essence as your true self has slipped out of sight and, to a great extent, out of mind. Although you’ve been aware of the inklings of change for a while, the pace looks set to increase now as you finally feel ready to shake loose and break free, allowing your true essence the room to breathe, stretch and dance once again…

Gemini

♊

Every single soul is a collection of experiences, ideals, happenings and choices. No two souls are the same and every soul has a vibrant, colourful and amazing tapestry which weaves together forming a unique identity or sense of self.  Your experiences in life have brought you great wisdom and tenacity, and they have also brought you great pain, interspersed with joy. Life has a habit of doing that, as the spectrum of existence means it’s not possible to have one without the other: pain and joy, day and night, loss and love… Yet, although this is a part of life, it’s important not to automatically expect the more challenging aspects of being human as this can close the doorway on letting some of the joy through.

Whilst it may be prudent to expect challenge, to protect oneself from it by withholding joy (to avoid the fall after the high) can only lead to lack and sorrow. No one wants pain or challenge, but they are a part of life; they do not vanish if we ignore them. Nor should we put life on hold until we are ‘fixed’ as that rarely happens. November looks set to be a month to inspire you to gently breathe more deeply into your heart and soul in order for you to realise it is only by being fully awake, conscious and breathing deeply into life where you truly come alive. Waking up your consciousness can be challenging as you may sense layers of pain you’ve long been denying, but, more importantly, there are waves of joy waiting to flow freely into your life. This is your time now to reclaim your inner beauty and strength in order to realise that you are a vibrant, unique soul and your experiences matter. Be yourself and love yourself for it…

Cancer

♋

As you continue to walk a new path in life, there is a sense you are beginning to wonder why you keep putting one foot after the other. Is it because that’s what you’re meant to do or is it because it’s become so automatic you’re not even aware you’re doing it? Are you walking with gusto and purpose or are you meandering aimlessly? It seems clear that there’s a need for you to ask some questions of yourself this month to ensure you know where you are, where you are heading and why. Perhaps you are happy just to keep on keeping on but there is a sense you need to find out more about the bigger picture before you plod on regardless. Forward movement is still movement, and, of course, you may be happy marching on and on just because you can, but surely with so much energy, creative wit and intuition, you deserve to at least allow yourself an opportunity to take a look at the map and GPS in order to work out if you truly are heading along a path that feels right for you?

It’s easy to get caught up in treadmills in life as there are so many as the need to survive often takes over the need to thrive. It’s not that you can’t have one and not the other, but thriving does seem to have taken a back seat in your life over recent years and it’s important you ask yourself why. If you are happy as you are then that’s the end of it, but if there are ripples of discontent echoing around the long corridors of your soul then maybe it’s time to listen to them as it’s never too late to alter course or to find a new pathway to walk…

Leo

♌

Life is rarely as straightforward or as ‘black and white’ as you, or indeed anyone, would wish it to be. Trying to box life up into nicely rounded packages, where everything makes sense and there are no messy or undefined edges is only natural, yet, intuitively you know this isn’t possible as you have an inherent connection to the chaotic and random nature of the universe. In many ways, you find yourself torn between wanting to box life up in order to make it easier but wanting to toss all of the boxes high up into the air in order to feel a true sense of freedom in your life. This is a predicament which is highly challenging to live with as you are being tugged in two very different directions: freedom versus order. Yet, are they mutually exclusive? Can you only have one without the other? Is freedom really only possible if you abandon order?

It seems prudent to take a long hard look at your beliefs as it could be that your ‘either/or’ approach to life has reached its limits and it’s time now to find a new way forward. Being one of life’s warriors and pioneers makes for an interesting and rewarding life but there are times when you need less ‘gung-ho’ but more of your enthusiasm channelled in subtler, intuitive and creative ways. Sometimes running and charging ahead is the best strategy to get things done but sometimes a gentle meander and ramble, feeling your way, serves you better. Try to embrace both aspects of your ‘freedom/order’ nature now and realise the true gift of living consciously and wholeheartedly right at the centre of the ebb and flow of life as it allows you to live the best possible life in the best possible way…

Virgo

♍

As you continue to find new ways of reconnecting to your own in-built guidance system, it seems you are beginning to realise just how intuitive and aware you really are. Over recent weeks there have been some very stormy seas and you have, at times, felt like a tiny dingy trying to negotiate 50-foot waves, giant swells and maelstroms. As a result, you have, understandably, felt discombobulated and out of sorts as your focus has been on trying to cling on and keep going despite the challenges you’ve faced. Yet, despite the storms, you have discovered a great deal about yourself as you have realised you are far more centred and balanced than you previously thought. At the same time, you have taken a few moments to step back in order to see the bigger picture of your life which is far more tranquil and calm than you may think. Yes, there are stormy seas, but these are a part of your life, they are not the complete picture of your life.

In essence, it seems times to look beyond the four walls of your everyday world in order to accept that storms come and storms go. Whilst being in a tiny dingy in rough seas is rarely easy, you always find a way through and this is where your amazing intuition, adaptability and awareness come into play as you can find ways to thrive even in situation where others may wither; you see opportunity for growth where others fade. November looks set to be a month for you to re-connect more wholeheartedly with your inner strength, passion and resolve and allow them some space to breathe and thrive once again. This is an important time for you to reclaim your equilibrium, even in stormy seas, as you are ready to navigate that dingy towards pastures new…

Libra

♎

November looks set to be a month of insight and inspiration as you begin to re-shape and re-define your focus towards a brand-new chapter in your life. You have been aware of the winds of change for some time now and you have intuitively known you cannot carry on as you are but, at the same time, you have struggled to know exactly what changes to make and how. You have also wondered if you are truly ready for change as it has somehow been easier to go with the flow as this has avoided the need to make any major choices or decisions. It’s not that you have been keen to shirk such choices, it’s more that you have simply felt too overwhelmed with life and the choices before you to make any kind of informed decision. You are wise enough to know that sometimes you have to bide your time in order for the right pathway to present itself rather than trying to force the issue.

You have been treading water for a while now but are reaching a kind of ‘critical mass’ where you intuitively know you cannot carry on as you are but still lack the clarity and direction to create change. This is therefore a time for you to focus on the stillness within: those brief spaces in-between the spaces and the distractions of everyday life. It is within this space where strength and vision will embrace you and allow you to gain a clearer sense of perspective and a stronger sense of knowing as to what happens next. To pause in a sea of busy-ness takes courage and faith but you have both in abundance. Even during times when you have a ‘wobble’ and doubt yourself, take a deep breath and re-focus on those spaces as this is where joy resides…

Scorpio

♏

As the crossroads in your life continues to converge and diverge, there is a sense you are beginning to find a path through the chaos and uncertainty of the last few months in order to find some much-needed stillness and clarity. As the concept of ‘home’ also continues to surge up from deep within your heart and soul, you are also beginning to contemplate what happiness and joy truly means to you. In some ways, you have spent much of your life looking for ‘home’ (a place that feels energetically balanced and nurturing for you; a sense of inner balance rather than a physical place to reside) and you have struggled to see this amongst the waves of chaos and uncertainty that continue to lap the shoreline of your soul.

You have come to accept and realise that this never changes as uncertainty is the only certainty in life and instead of trying to seek out certainty in order to find home you have now discovered that home truly comes from a willingness to live your life fully, wholeheartedly and courageously in the midst of the uncertainty whilst choosing to thrive anyway. You have never been one to sit on the edges of life waiting for a perfect moment but this hasn’t stopped you from trying all the same as it’s an inherently human thing to do. Yet, now you seem to have set yourself free and allowed yourself to look beyond the boundaries of your beliefs in order to see a richer and more enriching way of living and being that embraces the inherent unknowable-ness of life. This has become your friend and ally and it has allowed you to thrive and blossom, fizz and flourish on a brand-new dancefloor in life…

Sagittarius

♐

The energy, dynamic and shape of your beliefs, hopes and expectations look set to take centre stage in November as you continue to go through a fairly intense and rapid shift which is rippling out from deep within the core of your being. The trigger for this process seems to be a need for you to discern between what you truly want and what you think you should want. This has been a central theme for you throughout the year as you have been caught up in-between your dreams and your reality, your true essence and your deeply engrained sense of ‘ought’. ‘Ought’ is a word that should really be banned from your vocabulary as it traps and snares you, locking you into a state of lack and disempowerment. ‘Ought’ holds you back and makes you feel as though you are like a little bird locked in a cage. Yet, ought is a part of life and you have allowed it to take on great power when it comes to living your life; you have allowed it to dictate and define your pathway for so long that it’s now hard to know how to answer when asked ‘what do you truly want?’.

You haven’t actually lost the answer to this question, it’s just buried beneath layer upon layer of ought, must and should. Obviously, life carries with it responsibilities and this isn’t about shirking those, it’s about stepping free from the chains you’ve wrapped around your heart and soul which tell you that being you and being a free spirit somehow isn’t enough. ‘Ought’ may get the bills paid but it doesn’t light up your heart and soul, and this is a time to let your inner flames burn brightly as this is your moment to finally say out loud what you truly want…

Capricorn

♑

You have been wandering through some interesting terrain in life over recent weeks and months as you have tried to reconcile the life you are living with the one you felt you could or should have lived. At the same time, you have been gazing ahead, wondering what’s around the corner and contemplating your dreams and goals. As a part of this process, you have realised the importance of balance between your head and your heart, and you have started to let go of feeling at odds with yourself quite so much when it comes to listening to your intuition more. As a result, you are beginning to feel a growing sense of inner harmony and accord, and your heart and your head are finding new ways to unify together into one powerful and potent force: you.

Your mind is a defining and formidable force in your life and it has usually been leading the charge yet by allowing your heart (your intuition, creativity and compassion) a little more breathing space, you are beginning to feel less frozen in uncertainty about how to get life right and instead allow yourself more freedom to live, laugh and be fully present in each and every moment. It’s only natural to want to get things right, after all, you have worked so hard, and you may feel that allowing your heart more space is ‘giving up’ but it’s not, it’s setting you free from that frozen wasteland of uncertainty and feeling paralysed in indecision. Your fears and doubts are no longer circling above you like vultures in the desert; they have shrunk into better proportion. By opening up your consciousness to your heart, you have set yourself free and allowed yourself the opportunity to breathe fully into life whilst, at the same time, allowing life to breathe into you…

Aquarius

♒

As you continue to feel a sense of wonder and awe as the pieces of your life come together in a beautiful kaleidoscope of colour and perfection, there is a sense you are beginning to realise the value and worth of every single choice and decision you’ve made or not made. It’s as though you are now able to look both back and forth throughout time and space at the bigger picture of your life, seeing how every choice or non-choice has led you to where you are now. In many ways, there is a powerful sense of awakening for you throughout November as you tap into a surge of exploration and adventure in order to open some new doorways in your life. Your natural exuberance, far-reaching philosophies and vitality are finding new outlets and channels as you allow your true essence the space to flow more freely in your life.

It may be hard for you to feel totally comfortable with such a strong focus on yourself as you spend so much of your time trying to be everything to everyone else, so you may even feel you are being a bit selfish but you’re not. The cost of being such a big giver to others has been an inability to allow your true self the freedom to dance and it created a growing sense of inner discord and imbalance within you as you moved further and further away from your true sense of equilibrium. Reclaiming your essence and allowing the kaleidoscope within to dance freely isn’t selfish and it doesn’t mean turning your back on those close, it simply means a turning point in your life where you are no longer afraid to listen to your own needs, to honour them and to let your true colours shine…

Pisces

♓

In many ways, you are a person of two halves. There is the part of you that everyone sees: that happy, smiling creative soul, full of inspiration and vision. Then there is the part of you which lies beneath the surface, it’s well hidden and rarely steps out into the sunlight to be noticed or acknowledged. This ‘shadow’ side of you isn’t darkness or pain, it’s the more reflective, intuitive side of you that’s quite sensitive to the everyday pedestrian-ness of life. When life gets tough, you protect your more delicate nature as a way of self-preservation and it works well as you are a master of hidden depths and making the visible invisible. Yet, over time, the more you have protected your delicate side, the bigger the brick walls you have built so the gap has grown exponentially between the everyday you and this more delicate, fragile you.

Of course, both are facets of the same you but there is an incongruence which you cannot ignore as it feels as though you are here but not here at the same time. You have mastered the art of self-protection so well you have managed to lose yourself in the process but the hidden you hasn’t vanished and is calling you from the depths of your soul. It’s time to listen now in order to bring back together the different facets of you into a more cohesive and unified whole: your focus now needs to be on feeling and being whole from the inside rather than on trying to find wholeness whilst living in just one half of you and therefore seeking wholeness purely from external sources. You have reached a powerful crossroads in your life and you are ready now to tenderly love your inner self and to find a new balance in living whole-heartedly…

Deeper Into The Depths All Go to the Core of Pure Existence, Floods, Gateways, Prepare to be Shocked as We Prepare for Galactic Corridors to Open Up Wide

The deeper all go inside, the more expansive all become, the more portals are opened to all existences, beyond this “human physical existence” one. Deeper into the depth, delving deep into the oceans and galaxies, deeper into EXISTENCE and what this truly is and what it is not. Deeper into the e-motions, deeper into the floods, deeper into the chaos, confusion and separation to purify, cleanse, clear and REMEMBER the PURITY that was “lost”, as all chose to enter (on a Soul Level), unconsciousness (the REALMS OF AMNESIA), the deep sleep/slumber of humanity, that now lifts with this recent VEIL REMOVAL, that continues exponentially now.

IT IS TIME to fully awaken NOW. To “heal those wounds”, to release that suppression, to return to full LOVE CONSCIOUSNESS again.

Atlantis, LeMUria, Galactic…. all of the misuse of power, manipulation, death, wars…. all of that is inside of you, in your every cell… on a sub-atomic level, deep within your BEING and it’s time for you to REMEMBER and release it all, transcend it all and RETURN to your PUREST EVERYTHING…

Dependent on each’s vibration and dimensional timeline, the experience will be different for all. Dependent on the amount of old programming or how awakened as a SOUL…. the physical is about to change for all.

Your REALity is not as you once thought/knew. It’s much more vast than that. Those dis-empowered states are going, continually, until they are all gone.

YOU, in your PUREST FORM are LOVE…. and all that is not, is not you. It is a mirage, a story, a program that you hold inside of you.

The HOLD that unconsciousness used to have will lessen, with each huge emotional release. The breaking/dissolving of the constructs are necessary to move all into a much higher state of consciousness existence. Where you hold fear, this is a program that MUST CLEAR. Prisons of fear are your uncleared existences…. you are the one holding them in place. You must observe yourself, your own beliefs, mentalities and SEE where you are ORIGINATING FROM…. if there is one iota of fear, it’s your own program… which means it’s YOUR timeline and it’s still in YOUR cells… as that is NOT EVERYONE’S REALITY… it is YOURS….

Threats, warning, urgency… this is your own. This is YOUR highest selves/Universe trying to get YOUR attention, to WAKE YOU UP….

In these highest dimensional timelines, that ARE ALREADY REAL/HERE… there are no threats, urgency or anything of the old…. ONLY LOVE, only PURITY and the recognition that these programs for those still operating in them still. THESE ARE KARMIC TIMELINES…. that all must clear fully and finally from within.

CONFUSION IS NECESSARY to shake, startle and shock the system… to wake it up… for each’s heart to open and remove the “mind(s) control”. Mind control is no longer what “others do to you”. Mind control is YOUR OWN MIND… and your own allowing it to control your purest you.

YOUR SOUL is pure… it is not hurt or in any lack or need. It’s not even in a hurry because all of this was pre-determined before incarnating here. It will just “wait” until your human/ego has been depleted, broken down, collapses, gives up the fight/resistance and the muscles of the heart relax enough for it to open enough for electromagnetic energy to transmit out and course through your body/veins to awaken your LIGHTBODY, to start you on a path of fully remembering again.

The moment you say “no” and refuse to keep the antagonizing programs running, refuse to keep participating and supporting the old with your FEARS and dis-empowered states, is the moment things will change/shift/start to clear that deep programming that held your physical body in a denser vibrational physical reality timeline….. The moment you decide and are ready…. is the moment your whole reality can shift/change…. it is/was your EGO that maintained these realities to start with.

NOVEMBER INCREASES THE PURIFICATION PROCESS at an exponential rate. The veils have been lifted, now the chaos/confusion for many increases as well. For others, it will be different. More peace, more love, more unity, more kindness, more coming together, more consideration, more working together, more anchoring highest timelines, because this has been your priority all along and you’ve resolved the separation within to return to full consciousness where you live from your DIVINE CORE ESSENCE as your Way of BEing…. and you do not “go unconscious” anymore, no matter what goes on outside or around you… for the outside is your creation and you walk in timelines that are PURE. Your exchanges are magnificent, beautiful and support all new because you’ve dedicated yourself to bring all of these highest timelines through. Embodiment presides over separation….

DIVINE SOUL UNIONS are now at the forefront too. Huge portals/gateways and passageways have opened up for this to occur. Star Light BEings uniting to share and support in all new ways, as each has resolved their own lack within, which is a pre-cursor to fully abundant realities through Unity Consciousness now.

Each must take care to govern their own selves… for where there is any unconsciousness, this can close portals/doors instantly, shifting each back into a karmic clearing timeline until those programs are dissolved completely…..

Check yourself, your own motives/agendas, where you hide inside, where you judge, where you impose, where you hold back, where you are not ready and where your own resistance exists.

November is Gateways upon Gateways (Passageways & Initiations), portals abound. It’s a HUGE CLEARING PROCESS before moving into POWER GATEWAYS of the deepest depths of DECEMBER GATEWAYS/PASSAGEWAYS…. where anything of old structures/systems still held must collapse/dissolve/re-structure through new geometric/mathematical Quantum Light Codes that FLOOD through all day/every day now. This is about to increase again, substantially, and will continue to do so….

November will “blow the socks off” of anything experienced thus far. December will top November as we escalate into much more powerful vibrational timelines to “move” all out of the old at a rate that will leave many’s heads spinning for a bit until all settles and each embraces “all-new” fully….

Portals open vibrationally. YOU open them vibrationally. EVERYTHING is INSIDE of you. Outside is the solid hologram of all inner programs and each’s consciousness (or unconsciousness). GO inward if you wish to tune the outside to a different frequency bandwidth in order to RECEIVE/EXPERIENCE a different/alternate timeline reality…. Clear the programming yourself.

November prepares all for December, which is when the GALACTIC CORRIDORS open wide and everything changes even more. These Atlantean/LeMUrian and Galactic timelines of destruction, manipulation, wars and deep hate/hurt must clear PRIOR to this opening, so November will expedite this process for all still holding anything unresolved and representing “the old”.

VEIL REMOVAL increases, fixed/limited linear constructs of realities/beliefs dis-assemble and re-assemble according to all new LIGHT CODES DELIVERED (from within you/your field) at a rate that puts previous activations “to shame”, if you will. Quantum and non-linear replaces your entire previous existence here, as you once “knew” it to be.

PHOTONIC LIGHT amplifies, polarizes and does not “act” in any linear way. Distortions are exacerbated so that they can be heard/felt/seen and OBSERVED through LOVE and higher mind consciousness for each to DECIDE HOW to AFFECT each reality through PURITY CONSCIOUSNESS now. Distortions will “scream”, stand-out, get loud and intrusive so that you can SEE/FEEL them and CHOOSE to resolve, dissolve, release them as love and YOUR NEED for these distortions in your own reality anymore. AS QUANTUM PHOTONIC LIGHT…. when you are totally present, observing, connected and in-tune, all you do is TUNE YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS and the entire reality will respond. It is this easy, yet you are the one that must evolve your own existence beyond the old unconscious ones….

Non-linear Quantum Realities rock… everything is EASY, SIMPLE and in-tune. Harmony, bliss, magic, peace and the most exquisite realities are your experiences…. which means, you must dissolve all linear constructs yourself, yet this increasing PHOTONIC INFLUX will do this for you, which is what “shakes the foundation” of linear realities…. so there are times you just “let go and hang on”….. observing… and as you complete “traveling” through that vortex to “come out on the other side” of that StarGate, your reality will re-synchronize/realign. This process will increase substantially, so the more linear one is, the “rougher the ride” is, because of the amount of resistance still held inside. Open your heart FULLY…. as one ounce of linear will create a disruption that reverberates a feedback loop that will basically “shake the shit out of you”until you fully let go and allow your entire everything to TUNE.

ALL linear everything will dissolve…. Your new existence is NOT LINEAR in any way. Everything you “thought you’d do”, will change. Everything you “thought” you wanted will too. Everything you resisted before, that resistance will go and everything that SUPPORTS YOUR SOUL/HIGHEST EXISTENCE HERE will become your own priority as you REMEMBER AGAIN…..

What you were willing to do/not do… this will change too, as your mind gets out of the way. You will start to realize how much you held/created and how easy all is as you STOP and intentionally HOLD THE HIGHEST VIBRATION OF LOVE at all times now.

For those who have mastered multi-dimensional existence, honoring the SACRED BODY’S need to evolve and constantly integrate light encodements first, processing is easier and physical realities are too. Living a Quantum Existence means that you (we) can observe all realities simultaneously and process this data all simultaneously too. Emotions are different, thoughts are different and our processing speed is Quantum too. We can function in multiple timelines/realities and clear the ENERGY of an old program without missing a beat. The more human (carbon-based one’s body/less crystalline/Christed Consciousness), the slower the processing speed, the more physical everything is. The Multi-dimensional Crystalline LightBody functions Quantum. The Plasma body, even more, Quantum (Super Quantum), where all is just ENERGY to be shaped, formed, directed, resolved… where the constructs of every reality are visible, therefore the codes for re-coding the reality instantly are too. Realities are RESPONSIVE and dictated by each’s INNER LIGHT POWER PURITY LOVE CONSCIOUSNESS HELD…. for through FULL EMBODIMENT the physical has a very different RELATIONSHIP than it once did.

YOUR RELATIONSHIP with/as all is paramount. Your relationship with your purest self/you is KEY. This will DICTATE your RELATIONSHIPS with each other and all things physical. Every relationship must be PURE, otherwise, it is a Karmic Timeline playing out. Everything is a program, yet your own ENERGY DICTATES your EXPERIENCE… Your choosing which program to transmit to play out is just one of your natural abilities, which means that it can be the most magical, mystical and awesome or it can be one of separation/unconsciousness to assist you with clearing the impurities “faster”…

Let go of your judgement and your own linear everything…. YOUR VIBRATIONAL EXPERIENCE is dictated by where you exist/function from IN-EVERY-MOMENT. ♥

Honor what you feel/know/see from inside… Your human aspect (Ego) will allow the outside to dictate and you will play in dis-empowered states until you have cleared all of this energy. Open up to the UNKNOWN (to your human), for inside you do already KNOW…. listen to this, honor this and yourself…. above all.

INTEGRITY WITH YOUR WORDS… the human lacks in every way. All that you SPEAK, all that you do… create a reality to be RETURNED to you. If you lack integrity in any way, this is what you shall continue to experience until you “learn” to stop making promises, to stop telling stories, to stop re-regurgitating, judging, crucifying and turn your focus inward to shift your own vibrational transmission out.

INTEGRITY/HONOR AND LOVE with your actions…. PURITY transmits purity and holds no shields, protection mechanisms or blame. When you blame, you give your power away again… every bit of this is what you continue to create/allow.

LOVE CONSCIOUSNESS…. unity, coming together and supporting each other, AS A FULLY EMPOWERED BEING…. this is where your POWER is… your own HIGHER KNOWLEDGE is abundant when your ego aspect is not “in the way”/allowed to run rampant/inner-fear anymore. Maintaining YOUR HIGHEST ASPECTS OF YOURSELVES…. this is how you experience your highest timelines here….. and vibrate into a reality with OTHERS who hold this too…..

WE ARE FINDING EACH OTHER AGAIN…. as Star BEings/Galactics, LeMUrians/Atlanteans (Pure Ones) and more. Not by imposing, pushing or neediness (human), yet organically, naturally and by each stepping fully into their ROLES, honoring their SOUL’s purposes/missions, instead of holding back. Opening up fully to embrace, support, share and come together in all new ways is beyond beautiful… and we will continue to do this as our CRYSTALLINE NETWORK expands out through each one of us holding Christed Consciousness/God Consciousness/Galactic Consciousness through Purity….

Increased ROOT CHAKRA AND EARTH STAR CHAKRA clearings and integration, through the infusion of the SOUL STAR Chakra merging and embedding INSIDE of the body…. these chakras that used to “float around outside”, now are being EMBEDDED in your entire physical body structures….. your COSMIC BODIES now further come online. The opening up the Galactic Core on a collective level will increase this process substantially. The initial opening in December 2015, with individual forerunners clearing Galactic Karma, now we move into our Living Organic MotherShip Earth and all living organisms being activated to increase these clearings as well. There is a timeline process that must be complete as the December Gateway Opens & Closes to anchor ULTIMATE highest timelines in…..

Anything that comes up/emerges, clear it, release it, LET IT GO! Honor it, resolve it BACK INTO LOVE and open up for more love to come through. ♥

Each of us is (busy) fulfilling our highest roles, purposes and missions daily, in all new ways and this will continue in all new ways still. Many barriers lifting, many illusory blocks/obstacles dissolving, so very much will be mind-blowing for many until their mind-VISION ADAPTS to multiple alternate reality existence that is much more vast than any had access to before….

Every day, a new day is dawning, every moment, new realities being birthed, every nano-second NEW NEW NEW…. prepared to be elated, shocked and wow’d……….. we’ve all “worked” for this and yes, it is happening, whether you can see it or not. Wide open is the only way to travel these passageways with ease…. Super mega-quantum… is our “new” reality here. ♥

I love you all! I’m offline most all of November, writing where I see/am able (Gatekeeper duties). Just because you don’t “see” us…. we are slamming/accomplishing/doing fully aligned in every way. Myself, I still “work” 18 hours-a-day in a multitude of realities, many very physical, accomplishing what “needs to be done”, while continually letting all go that is not fully aligned or supporting our highest everything here. The sleep state is working/clearing/activating/anchoring/integrating too. Totally conscious in all. There is no other way to be…. ♥

Where able, I’ll post random photos of awesomeness to inspire, uplift and SHOW the awesomeness of our highest realities here. ♫

Foreshadowing The Year of The Feminine – November 2017

Emmanuel Dagher
a message from Emmanuel Dagher

To read more of Emmanuel’s insight, please visit his website, Emmanuel Dagher

My friend,

There’s so much for us to catch up on, so let’s get right to it!

A Foreshadowing of the Return of the Divine Feminine

In October, we began to see the next level of awakening taking place in the hearts and minds of humanity.

This awakening is directly linked to the influx of the Divine Feminine energies being activated within the consciousness of each person on the planet, preparing us for the new shifts coming in 2018 and beyond.

The foundations for us to receive the next wave of awakening into the Divine Feminine will continue to build and strengthen throughout November.

Strengthening Our Intuition

One of the many gifts the Divine Feminine offers us is the gift of intuition.

Our intuition works closely with the right hemisphere of the brain, offering us insights that bypass the confines of logic and reason.

It’s a natural inner knowing that transcends mental intellect and connects us to the wisdom of the heart. Intuition is the voice of our Spirit.

Our intuition speaks to us constantly, whether the mind chooses to listen to it or even be aware of it or not. It is always guiding us in the direction of our highest path and nudging us toward greater expansion so that we can live the greatest version of our life in this third-dimensional reality.

In November, we will be given the opportunity to connect more deeply with our intuition. This can come in many different ways.

The only thing asked of us, is that we pay attention to and live in the present moment as much as we can. This will ensure that our connection to our intuition is strengthened significantly so that we will be ready for the next phase of our personal and collective awakening.

By connecting with our intuition, we empower our lives to flow with greater ease. The more aligned we are with that higher flow, the more aligned we are to creating a life of fulfillment, joy, love, peace, prosperity, freedom, and well-being.

The Illusion Is Dissolving

For eons, collective society has predominantly operated on survival-driven patriarchal principles. These have come to us through institutions that have promoted fear and separation, delivered in the forms of religion, war, education, government, entertainment, and medicine.

During this time, the more nurturing, intuitive, and creative principles of the Divine Feminine, such as valuing the individual, honoring the Earth, and seeking natural healing and personal growth, were shoved to the side as being too passive, heart-based, and nonproductive.

Humanity lived with this imbalance for thousands of years. Yet it was all part of a Soul contract we all made to use that imbalance to learn lessons, heal, evolve, and come back to the truth of who we are at our core.

It’s important to thank and honor all of the patriarchal institutions that promoted fear and separation, as challenging as that may be because they played a pivotal part in our awakening process.

They signed up to play the role of the challenger on our journey so that we could see the contrast between what we wanted to create more of in our lives, and what we did not want more of.

The moment we are able to thank and honor all of the challenges in our lives, no matter how hard they seem at the time, is the moment we free ourselves from the power they have held over us.

This is what is happening now. People are waking up and freeing themselves from the illusion of fear and separation.

We are taking their power back!

This movement is dissolving the old survival-based patriarchal system, as the more matriarchal values of heart-based, soul-directed living come to the front of our consciousness.

We can clearly see the dissolving of the old system happening all around the world. Systems and ideologies operating by way of fear tactics, control, greed, and secrecy, without integrity, will not be able to continue on much longer.

The chaos and seeming amplification of fear we have been seeing lately is actually a clear confirmation that humanity as a whole has had enough, and that we are ready for something very different.

If things are looking a little scarier to you in the world, it’s because there is a desperation being felt right now by those trying to cause the fear.

The way I view it is that it’s the “ego” part of humanity—just the mind trying to protect itself and keep things the same.

With this awareness, we can have compassion, without having to buy or feed into the fear tactics.

The awakening process was called forth by our Spirit long before we even entered this paradigm. So we can take comfort in knowing that there’s no right or wrong when it comes to how we move through our awakening.

Our intuition will always find a way to guide us back to our true selves, whether we choose to take the longer scenic route or a more direct one.

The Next Phase of Awakening

This new phase of our awakening, which began in October, is supporting us in moving past the role of the Victim.

We now have the opportunity to retire the Victim archetype that we and our ancestors have identified with over many lifetimes.

Before we retire the Victim archetype, it’s important to honor it for serving to keep us safe and protected in a world that used to operate purely on survival.

It’s also important that we give our experiences of identifying with victim consciousness their full dignity and right to be seen, heard, and acknowledged.

This is actually the first step toward freeing ourselves from continuing to remain in the role of the victim.

We never want to sugarcoat, get rid of, blame, or deny anything that we experienced during those times that we identified with being a victim.

The second step in releasing victim consciousness is to accept every person, experience, and thing as it has shown up in our lives, without trying to change it.

By accepting these things, we are not saying that we resonate, approve of, or agree with them. We are simply giving ourselves permission to not allow them to define us.

The third step in releasing victim consciousness is to let go of blame—in other words, forgiveness.

Blame comes from a need to make something or someone else right/wrong or good/bad, and somehow responsible for what we have experienced.

At our core, we are the Creator of all of our experiences.

When we consciously operate from our Creator Self, we transcend duality. We move from judgment into discernment.

As we step into the beauty and power of our Creator Self, we navigate our way forward by choosing only what feels to be in alignment for us, and releasing what doesn’t. We understand that just because something does or does not resonate with us doesn’t mean it is good or bad, or someone else’s decision for us, or vice versa.

Can you feel how much lighter it is to operate from that space?

There is only resonance or no resonance. Meaning, “I choose more of this, or I choose less or none of this.” There is no need for “good” or “bad” labels anymore.

This is freedom!

The fourth step in moving past victim consciousness is to reclaim our power.

Reclaiming our power means we are committed to connecting with who we are at our core. We do this through self-love, care, kindness, nourishment, spiritual development, and creative expression.

The most powerful people on the planet are not the ones who control or belittle others.

The most powerful people on the planet are the ones who know who they truly are.

They know that they are far greater than the sum of all of their experiences and stories.

They know how to express themselves fully and to speak up from a place of love, without having to prove anything to anyone.

They forgive quickly, and move past challenging experiences with greater ease.

They are kind and loving to the world around them, and care for the well-being of all living things.

They make a difference on the planet, without worrying how small or large the effect of that may be.

They see past race, gender, religion, and sexual orientation.

They root for and celebrate others’ ability to thrive.

They see themselves as part of a whole, rather than as being separate from all other forms of life.

They know how to love, and how to be open and vulnerable.

They are positive and optimistic.

They stand up for what they believe in.

And so much more.

Just a Small Glimpse of the Divine Feminine

The insights shared in this Forecast are just a small glimpse of what’s coming with the next wave of awakening through the Divine Feminine.

It’s going to be so powerful!

In December, the Divine Feminine will be here in Her full glory, to usher us into 2018, the Year of the Divine Feminine.

I’m excited to share so much more of what this means for us in the coming months!

For now, we can let ourselves receive and digest this current phase of awakening so that we are ready for all the magic soon coming our way.

Until next time,

Miraculously Yours,

Emmanuel

Main themes for this month are:

  • NOVEMBER and December will bring in more ‘birth’ energy and will hold a lot of light. These next 2 months will feel a lot easier for most people – BUT it doesn’t mean they will be fast.
  • MANIFESTATION is very slow and hard to get going in the world generally right now.  We can have a lack of patience and frustration around this – that is part of our human experience on Earth at this time.

We will have periods of this for the next few years.  There will be periods of a few months where things seem to tighten and slow down and then we’ll go into a period where things can expand.

  • EMOTIONS on Earth right now are very, very high. BUT the emotional awareness or consciousness about the way people are communicating about their emotions/inflicting their emotions on others is very low.

Don’t be surprised if strong emotions are hitting you out of nowhere – even if you’re someone who is usually very steady. High emotion is going around and grief is elevated right now.

  • DIVISION energies are strong at the moment globally. However, the energy of division can also strengthen togetherness on the opposite end.

Don’t be disheartened by the difficult things you’re seeing in the world UNLESS, that’s just where you need to go that day or for a few hours AND you are equally seeing the things in the world that are good.

  • REMEMBER, nothing here is promised or given. When we can adopt that way of thinking we start to see the magic a little bit more. We start to see the miracle of life itself.

We are not being asked to see how amazing things are by our media or by certain voices and forces at the moment. If you can’t change them, you change YOU first. You change where YOU focus and you change what YOU put out into the world.
