Thought for the
month: The most wasted day of all is that on which we have not laughed.
Nicolas Chamfort
In General: as we
enter November on the 3rd, Jupiter is at opposition with Chiron. This represents
a time when we are searching for deeper meaning and understanding.
Unfortunately it can be tough trying to align ourselves with a philosophy or
belief system that accurately reflects our inner selves. New business undertakings might need a closer look before
blindly pushing forward. Neptune turns direct on the 18th, and countless misconceptions
that we have been holding onto, surface, puzzling situations become clearer,
and we are more motivated to apply our creativity in the manifest world.
Saturn forms a square with Neptune on the 26th.
We've very likely been feeling this energy in the past few weeks and it will stay
with us for a good deal of 2016. This aspect brings feelings of disenchantment and
many of our dreams and/or ethics can be put to the test. Don’t despair, if
possible, this crisis will leads to a readjustment of material goals and
spiritual ideals as we evaluate what is really meaningful to us as individuals.
If you are having a birthday at this time your year ahead will be redefining!
Your life path will become clearer and some old beliefs and ideals will change.
On the world scene this can present as a volatile time where beliefs,
lifestyles and values are challenged in the public forum! Locally it is really
a great opportunity to sit with ourselves and reflect…a great deal of personal
gain can be had as a result!
Aries
You can explore and
investigate whatever interests you, and try to get to the heart of difficult matters,
now. You have no patience for small talk or shallow people! You will find that you
benefit from your relationships and partnerships more than usual this month,
and you find more prospects for happiness with someone by your side.
Taurus
On November 18th,
Neptune ends its retrograde in Pisces, and over the last few months, you may have
felt like you had a fog clouding your judgment when it came to your future
dreams. With this retrograde over, you can now start to see your dreams more
clearly. You’ll have lots more deep conversations with partners.
Gemini
A new moon occurs in
Scorpio on the 11th, and you can start a new work project, be presented with a
new job or work opportunity, or create a new opportunity for yourself. It’s
also a good time to focus on health, and make improvements in your lifestyle. A
full moon in Gemini, on the 25th, is the time of reaping what you sow.
Cancer
You take a lighter
slant to love this month, and you don't want to be too solemn about it or move
too fast. You feel good when you're being productive and well-organized and also getting
things done. You will want to go through all of the small projects and tasks that
you have been putting off.
Leo
You have plenty of
mental energy to use up this month. You come up with lots of ideas, have lots
to say and share, and you want to keep yourself busy with lots of little jobs
so you can use up your energy. You enjoy social contact so you can stimulate
your mind, and you try to be more optimistic.
Virgo
Until the 24th,
finances, goods, property or anything which affects your material security is
likely to have your attention. Seeing how to improve things on a practical,
physical, material level which may expand wellbeing, yours or another’s, is the
focus. You
could be chewing over the past and finding emotions getting in the way of the
present.
Libra
With Venus and Mars
entering your sign this month, it is a great time for you to pursue new prospects
and start a new project, strategy, or journey that you can work on for the next
1-2 years. Your enthusiasm is high, and you have energy and passion.
You can see the right path again, and figure out the
right things to do with your work.
Scorpio
Colleagues or those
with a common aim or interest will expand your world over this period. However
you don’t want to request too much from yourself right now, or force yourself
to be around too many challenging people. November is a good time for doing work
behind the scenes, or making plans.
Sagittarius
Venus enters Libra on
November 8th, and you enjoy championing the causes that you believe in, and
being with your friends. You might join new groups, take up new causes, and
meet new people. You let go of something
and are excited to do so, clear out the clutter, and be in tune with your
spiritual side.
Capricorn
You can take a
practical approach to love this month, and want to assess your relationships
and how they're doing. You don't want to waste any time, and you feel that individuals
should live up to your expectations. You're practical about what you do at this
time, and mainly focus on what you need to.
Aquarius
You are in an
extended period of discovering new interests, ideas and getting to know people
whose take on life is very different to your own. Expect the unexpected and
embrace the difference. Time to make plans or launch into projects.
All relationships, personal, or professional tend to flow
more easily.
Pisces
On November 2nd,
Mercury enters fellow water sign Scorpio, and you come up with big ideas, look
at the happier side of situations, and talk large. You like expanding your mind
and learning something new, as well as sharing your experiences with others.
You don’t want to take anything too seriously, feeling that life is solemn
enough.
Astral Peeks:
November
Astronomy highlights
November 5, 6 - Taurids Meteor Shower. The Taurids is
a long-running minor meteor shower producing only about 5-10 meteors per hour.
The shower runs annually from September 7 to December 10. It peaks this year on
the night of November 5. The second quarter moon will block out all but the
brightest meteors this year. If you are patient, you may still be able to catch
a few good ones. Best viewing will be just after midnight from a dark location
far away from city lights. Meteors will radiate from the constellation Taurus,
but can appear anywhere in the sky.
November 11 - New Moon. This is the best time of the
month to observe faint objects such as galaxies and star clusters because there
is no moonlight to interfere.
November 17, 18 - Leonids Meteor Shower. The Leonids
is an average shower, producing an up to 15 meteors per hour at its peak. This
shower is unique in that it has a cyclonic peak about every 33 years where
hundreds of meteors per hour can be seen. That last of these occurred in 2001.
The Leonids is produced by dust grains left behind by comet Tempel-Tuttle,
which was discovered in 1865. The shower runs annually from November 6-30. It
peaks this year on the night of the 17th and morning of the 18th.
November 25 - Full Moon.
Meditation moments: Deep
meditation.
“He who knows others
is wise; he who knows himself is enlightened.”
—
Lao Tzu
What if all the
answers that you search for were already inside of you, just waiting to be
tapped? This month the Astrological alignments make it imperative and perhaps
easier to go deep and enlighten ourselves!
In deep meditation
it’s wise to pay attention to the following three things.
1. Your Overall
Wellbeing – Body, Mind and Soul
Your psychological,
emotional, physical and spiritual health are all connected, and all have an
impact on your ability to experience deep meditation. If there is an imbalance
in one aspect of your life, it will undoubtedly affect every other area in one
way or another.
2. Mindfulness
When you meditate, do
you find that your mind is busy? Well you’re not alone. Over the course of a
typical day it’s easy to build up an enormous amount of mental chatter.
The good news is that
you do have the ability to reduce this build up of inner noise, even while you
go about your normal daily routine!
Mindfulness is a
powerful practice that will help prevent a buildup of mental chatter and
prepare you for very deep meditation. Mindfulness is an incredibly powerful
practice that can transform not only your meditations, but also the quality of
your normal daily life.
3. Intention
For masses of people
around the world, meditation is a constructive part of their daily routine.
Perhaps you are one of them. If you are, then be wary of your meditation
becoming TOO mundane. I cannot stress just how important it is to understand
the role of intention and how it can transform your meditations completely.
Knowing why you are meditating and focusing clearly are key!!
