The Karmic Tools Weekly Forecast covers the current planetary transits which affect people in different ways and to various degrees of intensity. Take notice when it is a Personal planet (Sun / Moon / Mercury / Venus / Mars) interacting with a Social (Jupiter/Saturn) or Collective planet (Uranus / Neptune/Pluto). And pay extremely close attention when it is a Social planet interacting with a Collective planet because that means something *big* is brewing that will move large groups of people along their evolutionary paths. Tuning in to the energy and rhythm of the planets can serve as a useful *guide* as you move along your Individual Path. It also helps to understand your place within the context of the larger Social & Collective Story. Below, you will find out how these energies tend to manifest, as well as guidance and direction.
*NOTE*There are some days when there are NO CONTACTS (besides the Moon), please note that there are no missing entries, we just list the actual Activations of each week + the day they happen.
11/17 ~ Mercury (expression) ~conjunct~ Sun (core-Self):
This a powerful time of clarity & conscious awareness of who you are and what your goals require at this time. It is a good day to make a presentation to someone who can advance those goals in some way. There will be an inordinate amount of communications around this time, so try not to get distracted by the sheer volume, but rather, tune in to that which has the most substance and relevance to you. Because this is a pretty personal activation, you may be so excited about what you’re learning or trying to communicate, that you aren’t patient & receptive to what others are trying to communicate with you. Remember, you receive information from within and from others and whatever comes into your conscious awareness means you’re ready to learn or understand more.
11/20 ~ Venus (your values) ~square~ Pluto (transformation):
This activation brings intensity and it challenges you to grow (out of comfort zone, into new territory) where your relationships & finances are concerned. You’ve probably already felt it coming (the shift in your relationship or financial situation), well, it’s here now, so you can be proactive on your own behalf or you can suffer the consequences of postponing the inevitable. (You may have heard me say: Pay now or pay double later. That applies to this transit too.) The natural reaction may be to try to hold on to the job or relationship, but try not to give in to that temptation. Pluto intensifies everything and the more you resist the necessary purification & change that Pluto brings, the more painful it usually is. It is better to clarify your values & priorities and choose change, rather than have it forced (more Pluto) upon you. Either way, once the dust settles, you should be better off because things either change for the better or go away altogether making room for something new and more in-alignment with your values & priorities of ‘now’.
The Gabriel Message card for this week:
It’s Safe to Let Your Light Shine!
I was first introduced to the concept of safety affirmations in 1988 by my long-term mentor in Hawaii. I found them to be very helpful in being more embodied in my physical world.
For years I had never felt safe to be in my body. It did not feel as though the Earth was a benevolent or safe place for me to live. Even though I knew I had volunteered to be on this planet during these challenging times of awakening, throughout my life it had felt as though I was an alien species. I even began questioning the wisdom of staying in my body.
I was coached to begin saying safety affirmations. I began with “It’s safe to be in my body.” That felt surprisingly good, so I started branching out. “It’s safe to be who I truly am. It’s safe to speak my truth.” These really started encouraging me. Then finally I received the guidance from Archangel Gabriel, “It is safe to let your Light shine!”
This was a huge revelation because I saw that in protecting myself I did not allow the true essence of my most Divine, authentic self to radiate into the world. Who knows what past-life history made me feel that it was not safe to show that most vulnerable side. The important thing was for me then to shift into allowing the true radiance of Divine Light to be expressed in the world through my being.
It has taken many years to do this. I wish I could say it was an immediate turnaround. Old patterns can take some time to let go of. However, what I discovered is that when I allowed myself to reveal and express my most authentic loving nature, the happier I became.
The times we are living in require us to open up into this greater realm of awareness. We need to remember that it is not only safe to let our Light shine, it is imperative to the evolution of consciousness of the Earth. The more Divine Light that shines into the world, the more the planet and all beings who share this world are elevated.
Divine Light carries the expression of the love and intelligence of God that we each need so urgently. In order for all to live in true Harmony and for Peace to prevail on Earth, please know that it is truly safe to let your beautiful Light shine!
Shanta Gabriel
It’s safe to let your Light shine!
Dear One,
At the very heart of you is the pure light of God. This light has the ability to change your thinking and change your outer world. It is a light which, like a flame when fanned, can fill every cell, every fiber of your being and transform you. Fanning this flame means giving the light within you a time of focused attention.
Your imagination holds the key to transforming your life. What you believe can be achieved. Even before you believe something is true, you can allow the possibility to be there and imagine it to be true. Wherever you focus your attention, your life-force energy will follow.
Practice:
Imagine the light within you shining brightly. Give yourself a moment to inhale deeply, and as you exhale imagine a golden light beam moving from the base of your spine into the earth. As you continue to breathe, feel this deep connection to the earth relax you and provide a strong base within you.
Now, bring your attention to your heart center, the energy field in the middle of your chest. Imagine there is a glowing flame of light burning there. As you breathe in, this flame grows larger and brighter. As you breathe out, the light from this flame begins to fill your body.
Continue to breathe and imagine this light expanding behind your shoulders and down your back, feel it filling every organ and every cell. This is the light of pure spirit, the healing love of God. This light fills you with the Divine presence and radiates from you in waves of love.
Now imagine this light shining from you and blessing your house, the area where you live and the planet. Imagine this loving light blessing all the people you meet today. It’s a good feeling to send light to others as well as to yourself. This light promotes healing energy in the world around you and in your own body. Peace begins within the heart of each person individually. God’s light, shining from the heart of each person on Earth, would bring peace to the planet and transform the world.
It’s safe to let your light shine. Maybe when you were a child, it did not feel safe to be who you really were inside — innocent, trusting and filled with the light of love. But the consciousness of the people in the world is beginning to change. Now people everywhere are turning to spirituality as the only place where they can find true peace and happiness. They are longing for more sweetness and love in their lives. So the Angels say, “Fear not.” When you shine your love light on the world, you will be a loving presence. You don’t have to say anything. Your energy alone will have a transforming effect.
The visualization of the flame of love in your heart shining out to the people of Earth is very potent. No matter what is happening around you, keep this visualization moving through you. It takes a little practice, but it will have a healing effect even if you can’t see it. Just your willingness to imagine it is enough to create a light shining from within you. This light is that which connects you and everyone around you to the infinite power of Divine Love.
The master Jesus suggested that your light should not be hidden under a bushel. Let your light shine forth to bless the world, every area in your life and bring true Divine Radiance of God into the awakening of new life you are all experiencing.
Remember your message from the Angels for today,
It’s safe to let your Light shine!
The Moon today is in a Waxing Crescent Phase. A Waxing Crescent is the first Phase after the New Moon and is a great time to see the features of the moon’s surface. During this phase the Moon can be seen in the wester sky after the sun dips below the horizon at sunset. The moon is close to the sun in the sky and mostly dark except for the right edge of the moon which becomes brighter as the days get closer to the next phase which is a First Quarter with a 50% illumination.
You Will Need:
1 Ostrich feather
1 White paper
1 Pot of ink
1 White candle
If you cannot gain access to an ostrich feather, you may use the feather of a Blue Jay as a substitute.
this is a simple spell to bring a person to justice; which calls upon the Egyptian deity of truth, balance, order, law, morality, and justice- Ma’at.
Ma’at was the personification of truth, order, balance, law, morality, justice, stars and seasons. Ma’at was also said to regulate the actions of both the other deities and mortals, she set the order of the universe from chaos at the moment of creation.
Place the paper on the surface you are using, and put the ink pot alongside it. Grab your ostrich or blue jay feather, and dip the sharp end it in the ink. Carefully write the name of the one to be brought to justice on the paper; you may have to dip the end in the ink several times again while doing so.
After writing the name, patiently wait for the ink to dry. While doing so, light your white candle.
Once the ink has dried, wipe the ink off the end of the feather, and proclaim:
”Ma’at, goddess and personification of justice and truth,
I ask you kindly to bring justice on the person inscribed.
I possess the symbol, your symbol, of truth- the ostrich/blue jay feather.
I use this in your honor; and your aid is highly appreciated.”
Once again, bring the paper with the name forth, grab the feather and dip it in the pot of ink. Underneath the name of the person to be justified, draw the hieroglyph for Ma’at. Ma’at can be written in many ways, but the simplest is the feather. However, this can cause confusion as the feather can also symbolize the air god, Shu.
If you wish to be more specific, add the loaf symbol (a semicircle), and a simple picture of the goddess on a chair with a feather above her head. Google can provide you with pictures of these images.
After that, chant once again:
”Ma’at, goddess and personification of justice and truth,
I ask you kindly to bring justice on the person inscribed.
I possess the symbol, your symbol, of truth- the ostrich/blue jay feather.
I also have wrote your name in hieroglyphs out of respect; and to make my intent clear. I ask you to appreciate this.
I use this in your honor; and your aid is highly appreciated.”
Place the ostrich/blue jay feather on to the paper, and using the white candle, set the paper alight. Once the feather and paper has burnt, gather the ashes and scatter them outside by throwing them in the air, preferably on a windy day.

The dark moon can be a time of fear and doubt. This spell will help you to affirm your magic and move forward in your patterns.
You will need a white candle. Draw a circle of light and call in the elements. Light the white candle, and invite the Goddess into your circle:
Divine Mother so bright
Please bless my circle with your light.
Stand before your altar, and call out three times:
Today and everyday I am on a quest to make my life more the way I want it to be.
My magic is strong. I will prevail in my quest. So be it!
Thank the Goddess for her blessings, bid farewell to the elements, and pull up the circle. For best results, write the affirmation on an index card, and put it on your bathroom mirror. Read it aloud to yourself at least three time each day and three times each night.

Try these simple exercises to start becoming aware of your own energy and the energy around you. If you like, you can do these exercises with a friend.
Close your eyes and hold your palms up in front of you, facing each other, about a foot or so apart. Slowly move your palms closer together but don’t actually let them touch. Can you sense the energy flowing between your palms? You may feel warmth or coolness, various degrees of tingling, or something else. You might even sense a color or feel an emotion. Does the feeling grow stronger as your hands get closer together?
Choose an object, preferably a natural one such as a stone or plant. Run your hands around the object without touching it physically, trying to feel the energy it possesses. What do you sense? Can you feel warmth, coolness, or any other sensation coming from the object? Do you get any impressions or thoughts? Don’t discount them, even if they seem weird.
Ask a friend to do this exercise with you. Sit with your eyes closed, while your friend stands behind you. Slowly, your friend moves her hand toward your head, without ever actually touching you. When you sense the energy from her hand, say so. Then switch places and try the exercise again.
Write down what you experienced in what will become your “grimoire” or “book of shadows,” a journal of your magick spells and experiences. These notes will help you as you continue working with different energies, and as you grow more aware of how your own energies fluctuate with your mood, your health, and your circumstances.

From the perspective of science, everything is energy. Magicians see the world as surrounded by an energetic matrix that connects everything to everything else. This matrix, or “cosmic web,” envelops our earth like a big bubble. It also permeates all things that exist here and extends throughout the solar system and beyond. The web pulses with subtle vibrations that magicians, psychics, and other sensitive individuals can feel. Regardless of whether you are consciously aware of these vibrations, you are affected by — and your own personal energy vibrations continually affect the matrix.
Everything in the world emits an energy vibration of some kind. Different things have different energy patterns, resonances, or “signatures.” These resonances reach out to touch one another in a series of crisscrossing lines all around the world, rather like a big spider web. They also connect the physical and nonphysical worlds. These energetic connections are what enable witches and wizards to work magick— even over a long distance. You simply send a thought or emotion along one of these energy lines to wherever or whomever you wish to reach— it works faster than sending a text.
Consider this: How many times have you gotten a phone call from someone you were just thinking about? It’s not an accident. Your thoughts and the other person’s connected in the cosmic web before you spoke to one another in the physical realm. When you do magick, you purposefully tap into this infinite web. You tug a little on one of the lines. As you become skilled at using magick, you’ll learn to navigate the cosmic web just as easily as you surf the Internet. The first step is to sensitize yourself to these vibrations and become aware of the energetic field around you.
It is around this time of year that Dewali, Hindu Festival of Lights, ushers in the new year. Hinduism is considered to be one of the oldest living religions. It was not founded but rather evolved over a period of 4,000 years. The religion is made up of many sects, and beliefs include the doctrine of Karma, as well as the worship of numerous Gods and Goddesses desses considered to be forms of the one Supreme Being.
The word dewali means cluster of lights, and the illumination tion of lamps, bonfires, and fireworks all play an important part in the weeklong festival. The devotees of Vishnu hold that this was the day he killed the demon, but the most popular belief is that Dewali celebrates the coronation of Rama, a manifestation tion of Vishnu, following his conquest of the demon ruler of Sri Lanka, Ravana. During Dewali, effigies of Ravana are burned, merchants settle the past year’s accounts, games of chance are played, and presents are given.

Monday is named after the moon. The Latin term for Monday is Dies Lunae (“moon’s day”); in the Old English language, this day was Monandaeg; in Greek, it was Hermera Selenes. All of these different names and languages translate to the same thing: the “day of the moon.”
Working with the different phases of the moon is an important skill that takes a bit of time for Witches to learn. So why not cut to the chase and experiment with the day of the week that is dedicated to the moon in all of its magickal energies and aspects?
Magickally, Monday encourages the lunar energies of inspiration, illusion, prophetic dreams, emotions, psychic abilities, travel, women’s mysteries, and fertility.

Think for a moment on all of the witchery, magick and enchantments that you have discovered. Don’t be afraid to adjust spells to suit your own specific needs. Any gentle, illusory, and dreamy charms and spells can be enhanced when you work on the day of the week that is dedicated to the moon. Mondays are a fantastic day to boost your psychic abilities and to tune in to your intuition and empathy. It also gives you the opportunity to work with a different lunar phase each and every Monday, which means in one month you could work four different types of moon magicks on Mondays. How’s that for adding to your repertoire? You are going to have mad skills in no time at all.
So light up those lunar scented candles and add a little mystique to your outfit by wearing an enchanting lunar color. Wear your sparkling silver jewelry and maybe add a pair of dangling silver earrings or a pendant shaped like a crescent moon. Create lunar potions and philters; make a dream catcher and give it as a gift to someone you love. Burn some sandalwood or jasmine-scented incense today to inspire the glamour and magick of the moon. Slice up a favorite variety of fruit that is in season for a snack or share it with your love and enjoy his or her lunar and romantic qualities. Brew up a cup of chamomile tea, enchant it with a little moon magick, and relax and get a good night’s sleep.
Most importantly, get outside tonight and watch the moon for a while. What phase is she in? What color was the moon as she rose? Why not start a journal and write down at what location the moon rises and sets for a few seasons? This is a great way to teach you to tune in and to become more aware of the moon and the influence that she pulls into our lives. Try calling on Selene for her magickal assistance, and call Thoth for wisdom and strength. Get to know the Norse Mani and the Latvian Meness. These gods of the moon have plenty to teach, and if you allow their influence to cycle through your life, you’ll receive many blessings. Be imaginative, and create your own personal lunar magick and witchery. Go on….the moonlight becomes you.

In the word Monday, we can see part of the word Moon. In the romance languages such as Italian or Spanish, this day of the week is called Lunes and clearly relates to the word lunar.On Mondays, a variety of magick may be worked. Because Monday centers on the energies of the Moon, things like psychism, dreams, feminine energy, health, success in spiritual pursuits, domestic matters, and things of family origin are especially important this day.
Mondays are best for love magick and anything concerning home or family, thus old saying, Mondays child is fair of face, which seems clearly to relate to the themes of love and health.
Angels of Monday are Gabriel, Arcan, Missabu, and Abuzaha. Arcan is known as the king of the angels of air and the “ruler” of Monday. Abuzaha (Abuzohar) serves Monday, and is very responsive to invocations and ritual magick. Missabu is a ministering angel of Arcan.
Check whether the moon is waning or waxing to determine what your spell will be. During waning moons, do spells to rid yourself of obstacles or for wisdom and protection. During waxing moons do magic for increase of any kind or to draw something into your life.
On Mondays, the best hour to work is moonrise. Get this information from your local newspaper, astrological calendar, or almanac.

On all of the morning posts, we will be displaying the French flag. It is our way of letting them know, we love them, we support them and our heart breaks for them. Some might not agree with our decision to do this, but stop and think it through. If the terrorists who brutally murdered so many people are not caught, they will be here next. It is not only in France’s benefit that they are caught but also ours. Really it is too the benefit of any civilization nation’s benefit they are caught.
What happened in France is appalling, they need our prayers and our support during this horrendous time in their lives. Showing support for them doesn’t hurt a thing. One finally note, my prayer for the terrorist, I hope you are gunned down like the dogs you are and then you rotten in whatever dark eternity you believe in.
May the Goddess Bless France & Her People,
Lady of the Abyss
