This information from Nancy, our resident Astrologer, is so powerful!  When I read her information I realized that THIS New Moon phase is a critical turning point for me.  I sincerely hope you take the time to read her wisdom more than once ~ allow it to sink in to your consciousness and let your consciousness uplift you.

Thank you Nancy!

Scorpio is a fascinating sign — whereas most signs have one or two symbols that help explain their “personas” — Scorpio has four, the scorpion, the dove, the serpent, and the eagle — Scorpios are intense, secretive, noble, opinionated, sexy, emotional (although you might not perceive it), loyal, stubborn or determined, magical, and wonderfully complex.  They can reach the heights of humanity (like Gandhi) or the depths of infamy (like Manson) — they are fantastic in the breadth of their individuality…  to befriend a Scorpio is an achievement worthy of note.  They are selective and wary, and will never give up all of their secrets.  Yet they are loyal friends, partners and cohorts — you are blessed to have these complicated and fascinating people in your life.

This month has had more than its share of planetary activity that might have shaken up the status quo.  There are some major planets that have moved or will be moving into new signs, or going direct from a retrograde motion, our lives are being thrown into a state of confusion and most of us don’t enjoy being sidelined by unexpected happenings.  However, as the dust settles, our pathway will be made clearer, and the attainment of our goals will be something we can get a grip on — Those areas that are not working for us will be able to be cleared up, and a more positive frame of mind will help us in planning and executing our plans for the future. Just in time for the busy holiday season — our energy and excitement will match our needs in order to get things done.

The planet Mars is ensconced in Leo giving us energy and passion to go after what we want, Saturn is now into early Libra — changing our outlook from healthcare to concern about close relatives and neighbors, and bringing the chance of more balance into our lives.  Venus the planet of love and things we care about moves into Sagittarius on the New Moon day (16th) adding an extra spurt of emotion, insight, and caring to the overall energy of the day. Neptune turned direct on the 4th in the sign Aquarius, emphasizing the “caring for all humanity” phase of its current setting, with this direct motion might come some extra confusion for a while as we process the more positive vibes that are now coming our way. Neptune will inspire us to be more creative and will bring us to new understanding in intuitive and subconscious methods, whether in our dreams or in our meditations.  Last but not least, Uranus the planet of the unexpected is slowing in its retrograde motion in Pisces, and will turn direct at the beginning of next month — again giving us the more positive aspects of the sign — and still perhaps shaking us up in order to rebuild our lives with a better, firmer foundation.  All of these changes are in tune with the busyness of our daily lives — as we count down to the end of this year, the planetary cadences are giving us all that we need to accomplish our goals and finish whatever is needed to bring some control and balance, to help us and encourage us to move ahead.

We will be awakened to a new spiritual enlightenment, and we will be more willing to allow our higher consciousness to take over, we will be able to let go of the minor annoyances we face each day — just let it go!  Don’t keep niggling over minutiae — keep your focus on the larger picture and enjoy your life!  Remember folks — it is family and friends that make our life worthwhile — it is the relationships we forge that make us who we are.  Let go of any negative emotions, and change those partnerships, friendships or acquaintances that are not adding something positive to your life — this is your life and it’s up to you to make it a happy and fulfilling existence.  We can’t choose our immediate family, but we can make sure our relationships with them are moving in a positive direction — and if you are not getting the positive reinforcement you deserve — take a long look at what might be the problem — and if you can change it — fine — if not move on or decrease your time spent with those negative influences.  You will be happier and more positive, and in the future your attitude and changing lifestyle might just make a difference in the lives of others when they see how your life has improved.

Now we all know the New Moon is a day that will empower us to make our desires and wishes known.  The New Moon in Scorpio is especially strong and empowering, it will crest on November 16th at 2:15 EST at 24 degrees of Scorpio.  The afternoon and evening hours will be best to write out your wishes.  Since Scorpio rules transformation, courage, integrity, jealousy, and passion — make sure your affirmations include some of these aspects.  Remember to be specific and reach for the higher goals this sign sponsors…  Perhaps you need courage to end a negative relationship, or you want to increase your ability to forgive, or you need help to get control over your credit card debt, or want to attract that interesting person you met a few days ago, all of these can be enhanced by this New Moon.  There is so much power and energy in this sign and it can help you release negative emotions and get on a new path that will bring you much joy and happiness.

If you only write out your affirmations once in a while, make sure you do it this month when the Universe is sending you all the energy, passion and knowledge you need to make changes and create the life you want and deserve.  Reach for your highest goals, don’t settle for second best, and know that you are worthy of all the good, and all the best the Universe has to offer — rise to your highest level and bring along all those you love and care for into the beauty and enchantment of the light!

“Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school.”

~ Albert Einstein

The past month has brought some devastating events to my doorstep.  So many of you have let me know your struggles with life-altering changes, and similar loss of footing on your individual paths.  I want to share a personal message of reflections on raw emotions.

Whether its loss of health, loss of physical life, loss of home, loss of career, loss of self ~ it is felt as a shockwave upon the energies of self and spills out as karma on the planet.  How does one survive?  And can you accept that surviving will diminish expectations from yourself?

Seemingly insurmountable changes shake me to the very core of who I am.  A depth of sadness and a feeling that I may never again find a sense of inner peace is a nagging thorn in the side of my Soul’s consciousness.

I better understand how people give up.  I better understand how easy it would be to walk out into the woods and just lie down on Mother Earth and let her falling leaves cover my unmoving body and relinquish my last breath to the extreme tiredness of living.

It is a rare person who escapes this feeling at some point in life.  Why is it so important to get up and fight inertia?

Deep crisis is a time to stand in your power.  If you have breath you have power.  If you have thought you have power.  The power of decision.  The power of belief.  It keeps you on the physical plane, navigating it without maps, but drawing upon a deeper intuition of survival and finding your way again.

All of you who are facing insurmountable odds be still with your thoughts, as I will be with mine.  It’s the only way we can hear our heart. And your heart will direct your feet upon an illuminated path to follow.

Give yourself time and kindness and allow clarity of purpose to replace what you have lost.
