November 2016

RUNE OF THE MONTH: Beorc, birth. This month marks a new beginning, new growth. A relationship could start or start all over. A project could be launched. An idea could be given birth to. A month of a wonderful new life emerging from the rubbles of what had to be dissolved, so that new concepts may bloom.

Uranus remains retrograde this whole month between 21º50’ and 20º54’ Aries, until December 29. Its shadow period continues until April 15, 2017. These degrees are symbolized by: “The gate to the garden of all unfulfilled desires” and “A pugilist entering the ring”. If true love and enlightenment were available without any personal effort, we all would be with the love of our lives and one with all that is. Incarnation brings lessons to us, lessons testing our courage, our integrity and our determination. In the process of individuation and freeing ourselves from the matrix to discover who we really are, we are required to fight and work on ourselves with diligence. Only after having truly mastered all the aspects of our inner truth, can our divinity bloom and manifest our dreams.

 Neptune remains retrograde until November 18. Its shadow period continues until March 11, 2017. It turns direct at 9º14’ Pisces which is symbolized by the following image: “An aviator in the clouds”. No matter how blurry or confused the situations around us may seem, clarity comes with persistence. The path to enlightenment requires that we believe in ourselves, trust our journey and have confidence in our inner knowingness without any compromise.

This month’s intentional meditation starts on Monday 11/14 with the Full Moon in Taurus. Make sure that at 5:52 AM, you have taken out as many blank sheets as you will have intentions to be charged by the rays of the Full Moon on a balcony, in a garden, or by a window. Once that moment has passed, put them away in a folder.

On Tuesday 11/29, on the New Moon in Sagittarius, take out your blank full moon charged papers and write on each a concise, positive intention. Place them on a balcony, in a garden or near a window so that they are out by exactly 4:18 AM. Once that moment has passed, staple them together and put them away in a folder expecting the manifestation of all your dreams…

Saturday 11/12: Mercury enters Sagittarius (6:40 AM) till December 2

During the next 3 weeks, our consciousness is open to the world, to new ideas and dynamic solutions. We have more trust in life and in ourselves, expressing ourselves with faith and optimism.

Monday 11/14: Full Moon in Taurus (5:52 AM)

Kindly refer to the Moon in signs paragraph.

Tuesday 11/15: Mercury Sextile Mars (9:23 AM)

Today, our expression is direct, positive and honest. There is no hidden agenda or secret meaning. Excellent for courageous decisions and acting on them. Perfect for signing contracts and making repairs in our home.

 Friday 11/18: Mercury Square Neptune (8:04 AM)

Our thoughts are somewhat blurry today. Messages could be lost, misunderstandings could occur, illusions could abound. Important to discriminate and be clear on what is fantasy and what is reality. Spiritual messages could be misleading. We are likely to feel more tired or drained than usual. It is advised to avoid signing binding documents. A day best spent in seclusion, seeking inner peace and beauty.

Saturday 11/19: Venus Sextile Neptune (3:04 PM), Neptune turns direct (8:39 PM)

Regarding Neptune turning direct, kindly refer to the opening paragraph. We feel more vulnerable, compassionate and sensitive than usual. The soul connection we have in a deep love relationship becomes clearer. Excellent for artists and healers who feel particularly inspired today.

 Monday 11/21: Sun enters Sagittarius (1:23 PM till December 21)

During the next 4 weeks, our self-confidence, as well as our faith in life and in ourselves are enhanced. We feel more positive, optimistic and adventurous. Wonderful for a long distance trip, exploring new cultural and philosophical concepts, as well as engaging in outdoor activities.

Tuesday 11/22: Mercury Sextile Jupiter (10:19 AM)

A perfect day to expand our philosophical and cultural outlook. Great for a long distance trip and learning a foreign language. We express ourselves in a positive manner, with faith and optimism. This transit helps us attract beneficial partnerships inasmuch as we do not fall into any excess and are careful not to promise more than we can deliver.

Wednesday 11/23: Mercury Conjunct Saturn (10:44 AM)

A day of serious thoughts and few words. Excellent for facing our duties and obligations with a sense of responsibility, focus and discipline. Today’s possible feeling of loneliness is best channeled through hard work to achieve our goals and fulfill our ambitions.

Thursday 11/24: Jupiter Square Pluto (2:42 PM)

Manipulation, dogma, extreme positions could create great obstacles challenging our growth and testing our faith as well as our self-confidence. The darkness emerging today is best faced with courage, integrity and dignity. A disturbing element might need to be removed altogether, for our peace to return. Important to trust our judgment. Today, if something doesn’t feel right, it simply isn’t.

Friday 11/25: Venus Conjunct Pluto (3:48 AM), Venus Square Jupiter (5:45 AM)

A day when we need passion in our lives. A profoundly meaningful relationship could be a powerful catalyst for transformation, bringing to the surface buried emotions from the past. A love relationship begun under this transit could change our lives forever forcing us to stand in our power with courage, dignity and integrity. Essential today to not fall into extremes and avoid excesses of all sorts.

Saturday 11/26: Mercury Trine Uranus (5:38 AM)

Our thinking is highly intuitive today. As if lightening had struck us, we could receive unexpected answers to our questions. Concepts are understood in a non-linear way. People met today are highly unusual and particularly stimulating and freeing. A day to expect the unexpected and remain flexible, as much could change without forewarning.

Tuesday 11/29: New Moon in Sagittarius (4:18 AM), Venus Square Uranus (12:20 PM)

Regarding today’s New Moon, kindly refer to the Moon in Signs paragraph. Today, more specifically, we should be careful of volatile emotional situations. A breakup could unexpectedly occur that cannot be later reversed. Things may be said in the spur of the moment that are later regretted but cannot be taken back. Sudden estrangement could drive a partnership out of our lives forever. Best to avoid social encounters today and work on our inner marriage, as well as the best way to balance intimacy and freedom.

Wednesday 11/30: Sun Square Neptune (5:17 PM)

A low key day. We could feel dreamy, unmotivated, tired and even possibly confused. Since we are also particularly sensitive to subtle influences, it is best to avoid any activities requiring attention to details, facts and figures, negative or potentially scary movies or novels, as well as people who tend to drain our energy. A day to take it easy, read an inspiring book, watch an uplifting movie, hang out with positive people and focus on beauty.

Wishing you a wonderful month of November!

In Loving Light.
