The themes for November are power, peace, and magic. That sounds a lot better than how things have been for most of 2012. Slowly we are inching our way into understanding how to navigate these tumultuous waters of the astrological transformations that have been plaguing us since the end of 2008 and the Grand Cardinal Cross. 

It is as if the harsh winds of change have made the trunks of our personal tree stronger from the constant bending and adjusting to the ever-changing zephyrs. It is also as if we have learned to have better grounding by adding more and more ballast in the bottoms of our inner boats. So as the waves of Neptune in Pisces keep hitting us we are finally not feeling as if we might topple over and flip our boats. All of us have learned new skills to stay afloat and aligned with this shifting of energies. For some things we should be very grateful. If we take a brief look back to the way that we saw the world before 2008, we should now see such a larger more expansive picture that is life. Can you feel how much more understanding and compassionate you are to others? Can you see the parts of yourself that you did not know were there and can you see that you have learned to love yourself much deeper because of it?

In this pause that is the season of autumn, allow the coolness to allow a moment of refection and appreciate all that you have learned and expanded internally and externally.

These lessons have forced us all to step out of comparing our reality to others. We have had to realize that we cannot, “Keep up with the Jones.” We have to live our life and that is all we can really do. Worrying about what others think is no longer as important as it used to be. We have had to take an honest look at who and what we are and find the acceptance and trust in our own divine flow. There is magic in our life and our choices. There is mystery in the unraveling of our egos to discover the greater design that is within each of us. And the more I allow that within myself the more I see that in others. I see beauty where I saw discomfort. I see grace where I saw despair. I see love in the eyes of all those I meet. I connect in a much more real and honest way. I see the spark of the divine everywhere. 

It is as if the leaves of our egos have fallen off the limbs of the tree and now the stark beauty of our core is revealed just like the tree trunk unadorned by color and movement of the leaves. There is amazing beauty right here. Just look in the mirror. That beauty is you. The lines on your face reflect the challenges and obstacles that you have faced, the laughter that you have shared and the love you have felt. Time is the teacher. Age is the pattern that forces us into the place of grace. Stillness is the place where we finally see what has always been right in front of us.

From that place awareness arises that we all feel the same emotions, have similar experiences, feel the same pain, love deeply, and suffer the loss when change is inevitable. 

So in this month of November, stop, breath, and see that there really is no “other” out there. The divide that I feel within me is reflected in my inability to connect to those in my external world who show me the parts within that I do not want to believe are a part of me. This is a month to heal the splits within our consciousness that create enemies where there are only others trying in their own way to find truth also. When we deny that we are all connected in an amazing plan then we continue to create separation, fear, and suffering. 

This is a very difficult thing to do consciously and consistently. This does not mean to fall into a La-La place of denial and to want to be a fluff puppy, love child from the 60’s. It means to openly and honestly look at others and see beyond your projection, attachment, and beliefs of how you want others to act. Then to choose to look deeper into this person’s needs, dreams, desires, and hopes. Feel into the heart that beats within the soul of this person. See the soul that wants to understand and open. Feel the desire and fears of this person’s personal drama that has been their life. Open you heart and understand them in a way that allows for connection and find the place where you can connect from a very real and authentic heart. In that moment the words will no longer matter. We are connected in our humanness, our dreams, our hopes, our desires, and our hearts. Only then can an honest conversation really happen.

Allow for November to be a moment that is beyond politics, beyond rhetoric, beyond fear. It is by understanding each other that change happens with grace rather than conflict. At this point we are all pretty tired of conflicts in our personal and professional lives. We have to find another way to interact. Because of this astrology, the circumstances that we think might be so important might not be. We are all challenged for the next 3 years as this storm transcends the old and brings in something new. 

Remember that we cannot do it alone. We all need each other to help create this expansion. It is time to see the love that we share, the deep caring that we all have for this county, and the change that we need to manifest together.
