The U.S. elections created results that will shift our country and our lives significantly. This thrills some, while others are processing feelings of shock, disappointment, sadness, fear and more... One thing is certain - we are a country divided at the moment, and that is our current reality.
The more you choose to widen back to understand other perspectives, it will help to expand your emotional bandwidth and your world. Judging others and overreacting will keep you off-balance, in low frequencies and will take you out of your power, so focusing on finding your center should be a priority.
If you have a healthy way to process unwanted feelings, great - and if not get help. Burying toxic feelings won't serve your well being, nor will carrying them indefinitely; the goal is to feel through them so you are free to operate from your Authentic Self, with access to your natural creativity and genius.
November is full of major shifts, with Saturn turning Direct on the Full Moon in Taurus, followed by a Sun-Uranus opposition, Pluto entering Aquarius for 20 years, Mercury turning Retrograde and Mars barely moving, about to Retrograde in early Dec. That's a LOT of dynamic activity, so practice being your Zen Self. Utilize your best practices for Self-care to stay calm, grounded, balanced and connected to your heart, while trusting that All is in Divine Order (even when things don't make sense to you).
Nov 8 - Mercury has entered its Retrograde Shadow - the territory it will retrace when it turns Retrograde on Nov 25, so anything you are dealing with from now until then, you will likely review and/or revise during the Retrograde period (thru Dec 15). Pay attention to the topics that are highlighted in your life during the next few weeks for clues.
Nov 9 - Venus square Neptune. Venus is in idealistic Sagittarius and Neptune is in dreamy Pisces. You may have selective vision (seeing only the good), which can lead to wishful decisions or unrealistic expectations (fantasyland), as well as disillusionment or disappointment. You can overdo it, wanting more of what feels good. Or you may feel drained, low vitality and not be able to show up as planned. You may want to numb your feelings with substances or activities that subdue your senses and undermine your efforts.
Spiritual practices, soothing activities (forest bathing - or any kind of bathing), music, massage, rest, movies, creative pursuits, leisure or snuggling with a loved one or a pet - whatever feels nourishing for you - is perfect. Or you may be inspired to express your creativity, be of service or heal a heartwound, which is possible if you direct the energy via a higher expression. Trust what your intuition is calling for.
Nov 11 thru Dec 7 - Venus in Capricorn. Your values and how you value yourself (love, $$, worthiness, creativity, relationships) are serious now, as you're looking for what is real, what will last and commitments are serious. So what do you want? This is grounded, cautious and thoughtful energy - operating with integrity, ambition and an eye on the long term. Reality check; solid, grounded and no players need apply.
Nov 11 - Sun inconjunct Chiron sextile Jupiter (Yod). This is a potential healing configuration, if you're actively doing personal work to shift stuck energy related to what you think of your Self. This is a good day to focus on where you need support and tender loving care.
Nov 12 - Mercury square Saturn. With Saturn, you're serious about something - info, decisions, plans. You may not get what you want or have to wait for something you thought was happening now or soon. You may discover that you have conflicts with others, or have to face your own negative thought patterns (judgments) and then adjust in order to get along. Maybe it's tedious, hard work that's necessary. Just do it.
Disagreements, communication snafus and conflicts can arise - but the real opportunity is to examine your thinking for rigidity and how you communicate. Are you open to another point of view? Can you agree to disagree? It's on the table, right before Mercury Retrograde (communication, the mind, thinking). And you may need to get rid of fluff and focus on what really matters - pare back, clear mental clutter, create space.
This week may feel like nothing is really happening, while there are powerful undercurrents at work, as Saturn (planet of work) is almost at a standstill, preparing to turn Direct on Nov 15. It's like being in suspended animation. At the same time, we are approaching a Full SuperMoon in Taurus on Nov 15 and every day as we get closer to the 15th, the emotional energy is heightened as the Moon becomes more Full, so lots of emotional energy with no real outlet until Friday at 1:28pm PDT when the Full Moon pops.
The upcoming Full SuperMoon has Uranus (change) on the Moon, bringing an unexpected change, so prepare to be bamboo... bend, don't break. I know this is all a tall order for those of you who want to keep living life the way you've always done it, but those days are coming to an end very soon as Pluto leaves Capricorn and enters Aquarius four days after the Full SuperMoon and Saturn Direct. More next week...
Keep in mind that Mercury Retrograde will officially begin on Nov 25 and will be active through the holiday shopping promotions (Black Friday, etc), so you may want to shop early to avoid mistakes and keep receipts no matter what.
Your job right now is to discern what you need to heal, release, align and/or come to awareness about in order to find your balance, so you can function, one step at a time in our new reality.
The call is to learn how to move forward in our polarized culture, willing to soften hard edges and open to new ideas that can allow us to connect, adjust, evolve and integrate. It may not happen today, or even soon, but I believe it is possible.
We have to go high, handle reactive and judgmental behavior and think in terms of practical solutions. Everyone has to do their own work, whatever it is - and even if it's hard, it is necessary.
We chose to be here now, to awaken and to help others awaken - that's the mission as Lightworkers.
Shine your Light, lend a hand where you can. We are here to be part of the One Love that we know is possible.
