In the course of the day I often find a need to take a moment and realign to my center.  I always start by focusing on my breath, asking for divine guidance, and tuning in to the frequency that is for my highest good.  If time and opportunity and the energies of the moment allow I may be given to see something of value.  This is what happened during the Taurus Full Moon on October 25^th and 26^th:

  I see my birth chart as if on a transparency, it is turned sideways like a coin on end.  My hands came together on either side of the chart.  With the Ascendant at the joining of my thumb and forefinger, the area of the chart is the size of the palm of my hand the midheaven is centered on my middle finger.  I see the chart reflect lights of each of the planets to activate that area of my life on my palm.  This light begins to pulsate and fill my palms with a glowing ball of energy that becomes clearer and clearer.  I am drawn to place the ball in my heart and I feel immediate warmth begin to pulsate throughout my being.  I feel my breath pumping the energy, I see light fill me and on this light is traveling the original instructions for my highest good realigning me, from above, below and within.  

If you get the opportunity to try this meditation technique I do hope it helps to bring clarity to your journey as it has mine.

Reminder:  Daylight Savings time ends 2 am on November 4th, turn ALL of your clocks back one hour.
 

• Jupiter is bright early in the evening sky early in the month; watch him sink towards the dawn, by the 24^th.

• Until the 24^th we can see Mercury just before the Sun rises.  Watch him change signs, he has his inquisitive shine on.  Early dawn on the 8th you’ll get to see Mercury and the Moon converse.

• Look up from Mercury to see Venus in all her radiance shine down on us. Walk in beauty, feel your values, let her remind us to give thanks for all that is.  Watch as she gets together with the Moon.

• The Taurides Meteor shower is on the 8^th.

• Then on the 9^th the Moon moves as far as she can get into space, Big Sky Country!

• Mid month Saturn begins to rise in the early morning hours.

• Also at midmonth, after the twilight just at dark, Mars rises in Cancer retrograding through the land of home security, a good time to winterize and save fuel.

Venus moves to her autumn residence on the 8^th here she surrounds herself with her favorite people and engages in conversations on the most enchanting of subjects; how can we increase the quality of our lives, beautify our living areas, and become more fulfilled in who we are?

Sun enters Sagittarius on the 22^nd of November.  If you have been feeling the “Pull of Freedom” this month this energy will be another boost into a bigger more authentic life.  This energy is filled with expansive optimism; use it to spread joy in your life and those around you. 

On 11/11 Mercury enters Scorpio; this is the time to get down to the details of what is going on in your life.  This is the time of the inquiring mind and it is an excellent time to let your mind wonder and follow where it flows.
 

Reminder: Mercury resumes direct motion on the first of November.  We will take a brief soiree through the land of Libra so take this opportunity to mend some fences; you have until the 10^th of November.

Mars stations to begin his apparent retrograde at 12° of Cancer on the 15^th of November.  On a large scale we can expect to see the weak links in our personal security structures; look on all levels, family, home, financial, this is a time to put up some supplies, and cut back on extravagances.  Mars will move back into Strategic Gemini in for the New Year then returns through Cancer to again trigger the energies of this transformational project during the first half of April 8^th.

Uranus stations direct on the day of the Full Moon. Anyone out there interested in plane jumping get your serious meditation gear on at the New Moon, commit to staying grounded and centered and prepare for that shift you have been searching for. Let go of any bulk trash creating drag and move into a new level of self awareness.

At the New Moon, we were beginning to create a doorway to a higher plane; now we will prepare to step through this doorway. Gemini’s curious nature and Uranus’s quest for freedom will give us the innovative spirit needed to make positive life affirming change in our lives.  All of this excitement is in Prefect square to the Nodes; this is one of those famous crossroads where we choose an important direction in our lives.  During this long Thanksgiving weekend an attitude of gratitude could build amazing bridges into a brilliant future.
