Greetings Fellow Immortals! Congratulate yourselves,you have incarnated into the least boring period in human history.Halloween brought out the party-er in us. She or he might like to float right into Sagittarius, sign of the playful centaur, and skip over the most intense days of the year, in the heart of Scorpio. And postindustrial society does provide continuous opportunities to
glide along in disconnection from our deep selves. A look at the stars—and the pagan influences for these days—reminds us, however, that the year’s work is not quite over. In fact, the first part of November calls us to consolidate the chapter that 2014 opened in our lives, to reaffirm our spiritual warrior nature as we face down challenges to our inner and outer freedom, transmuting the pressure so that the phoenix can rise from within. Last month’s eclipses brought these challenges more clearly into view. For I say unto you: it would be easier for a honeypossum to sculpt a perfect likeness of Aleister Crowley out of marmalade and motor oil than it would be to escape the effects of an Eclipse. Mars the warrior ruled the Total Lunar Eclipse of October 8, and co-ruled the recent Solar Eclipse in Scorpio. At both portals Mercury was retrograde or in its shadow period—and still is as
November begins—indicating that the changes triggered by October’s lunations are to be absorbed inwardly, emerging outwardly when Mercury
leaves its shadow on November 10. Full Moons are associated with extreme emotions because we face the contradictions of opposing points of view. This one, though,
may feel more like putting our feet on solid ground than being washed out to sea. The stabilizing influence of the earthy Taurus Moon gains additional ballast from
harmonious trines with potent Mars and Pluto in competent Capricorn. The intensity of the Scorpio Sun is softened by its close proximity to pacifying Venus and we’re finally out of the eclipse zone that’s been rattling cages for the past month. Still, we may expect some drama about money,
resources and self-worth with overspending or exaggeration spurred by profligate Jupiter’s stressful squares to the Sun and Moon. But the sound and fury of strongly expressed opinions is probably more of a show than a final showdown. Once excessive pride and the need to prove others wrong have been set
aside negotiations to settle differences can commence with a common desire to find solutions. During the first half of the month, personal planets Sun, Venus and Mercury line up in Scorpio to escort Saturn the taskmaster during the last weeks of passage through the sign of alchemy. We become more keenly aware of a process that has been active since October, 2012, and use our vital energy (Sun), love (Venus) and thought-power (Mercury in Scorpio) as we make an orchestral conclusion to Saturn’s work of reformation. A look at
the house where Scorpio falls in our natal chart can prove fascinating, especially if we review how we have been called to grow up or gain independence in this area,
probably with involuntary pruning of certain situations and relationships. Everything seethes and churns in this region, but that's okay: it's all part of November, and soon you won't notice it anyway as you enter into your own state of turbulescent grace. Whatever calls you from outside the curtain can wait. You're here now, and ready at last to open your eyes. When you do, you'll see that Time is a soft jagged wave moving through you and Space is a malleable domain sculpted by perception. Rest assured: the voluptuous terror you feel swiftly gives way to splendour. Suddenly you will re more awake than you've been since retiring from the womb. The secret phenomenological truth, encrypted against corruption at your birth but now transmitted lucidly across every synapse, is that the World is determined by imaginative volition. How much love can one being express? Now that this has been revealed, your purpose is clear. You might as well get used to it: YOU ARE A GLORIOUS NEW REALITY! This year’s Scorpio cycle began with the strong seed of a Solar Eclipse New Moon, involving us as more active participants in the natural process of change, and even finding the fun in a transit (Saturn through Scorpio) that has until now felt like it is happening to us rather than through us. The diversion, however, is not the eating-chocolate-ice cream kind (drat), but that of the seasoned witch or warlock, who stands to stir the cauldron of inner change, and strategizes in preparation for daring action (after November 10) to express the newfound individuation in her or his world.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1
Today is the Celtic New Year, honoring the dead and those living in subtle dimensions, as natives of Mesoamerica also did at this season.
As the day begins, we’re apt to feel festive, with Mercury in sociable Libra making a harmony to jovial Jupiter in warm Leo. The tone becomes more mystical
when Moon slips into cool Pisces at 9:37 am PT (12:37 pm ET). After that, a chain of aspects involving the deep divers of the solar system, Neptune and Pluto,
accentuate the quiet, psychic atmosphere of this portal, best enjoyed by laying low and unplugging from worldly activity to focus within. Well, Your Name, have you come this far to spread intricate sadness with all possible combinations of dour gesticulations and complex facial contortions? Didn't think so. Is there any way the Moon entering Pisces could please you without resorting to the obvious? By the time we come to Pisces, we've been and are everything. Identities and boundaries get very fuzzy at this stage, and they're supposed to. Moon in Pisces reminds us that we are on an infinite journey, ever leaving, ever returning. Where have we been? And who are we? We are a raindrop. We are the ocean. As warm jets, we are two fishes swimming in opposite directions, symbolizes the imperative to integrate two dimensions - the finite and the infinite. Neptune, which rules Pisces, was the mythic God of the Sea; he is associated with the swells of emotion and the vast mysteries of the collective unconscious. In the modern Western world, this is largely misunderstood territory. Chickadees have been known to fornicate with badgers here, for christsakes. The moon, she is in the sign of fishes. Sobbing and laughing from the fjord to the poorhouse, The beneficial effects of the Piscean hormone melatonin have been part of the health supplement scene for some time, for high melatonin production is known to be synonymous with a high immune system, a low cancer risk, long life, energy, stamina, and according to many, enhanced spiritual awareness. Perhaps it is fitting then that this hormone is secreted by the pineal gland, a mysterious little item long believed by mystics to be the "Seat of the Soul," "Me Third Eye," and the organ through which psychic powers are exercised. In fact, it actually functions as an organ of sight in some reptiles, and it still seems to possess some sensitivity to light in higher mammals, since melatonin production increases when the person is exposed to darkness (thus melatonin means "night worker!") High melatonin production thereby increases the facility for receiving and transmitting high-frequency cosmic and local broadcasts, and leads to a greater state of cosmic awareness - a state simply of ’knowing.’ In this regard, it is interesting to note that the Pineal Third Eye has been found to contain very fine granular particles, rather like the crystals in a wireless receiving set.Many magical rites and meditation techniques are aimed at gaining control of this organ and the fluid it produces: Veering at the mercy of decadent thighs, In billowing abandonment, A serpent dancing on the coy derrière, A baton in the bawdy dunes Enjoy inspirational music, invoke the forces of cosmic protection and—with Pluto and Mars in Capricorn—honor your ancestors and bless the earth in her amazing powers of transformation. As for dealing with the living, an extra dose of patience and prudence will help allay potential conflict. In the afternoon and evening, creative juices surge and can be productively directed into independent work. Intuitive intelligence flows through the night: keep your journal on hand to write down your dreams on waking tomorrow.
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2
Thank God it’s Sunday! We wouldn’t want to float through this etheric Moon in Pisces while trying to function in the normal world.
Pay attention to the dreams you remember. The veil between dimensions was particularly subtle last night, when Moon in Pisces harmonized with Sun,
harbinger of purpose, and Venus, Goddess of Love, both in Scorpio, sign of portals to the beyond. In particular, oneiric messages include a warm
greeting from a dear one in the beyond, and guidance to help us carry on the positive aspects of our lineage and to heal the more difficult ones.
Although we might wish we could idly fantasize the day away, we can only take our visions so far before more mundane issues demand our attention.
We’re comfortable weaving stories based on idealistic love as the magical Pisces Moon aligns with romantic Venus. But energetic Mars encounters expansive
Jupiter, stirring our impatience and prompting us to follow the impossible dream. We may know what’s best, but we’re likely to do what’s more fun.
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 3
Projecting Light Specific purple or octarine (a particular shade of electric pinkish purple) into your forehead and facing West, activate the Ajna Holographic Image Projection System (third eye), then invoke blessed Gabriel. Diana, or Sailor Moon into your Brow Chakra. It's the Moon's day in the week of Earth and the emotional body in reflection. The lunar orb being receptive and reflective, focuses the qualities of the signs and other planets to our personal Lightcraft. The Lunar center, and its intimate connection with the Holographic Image Projection System, is not only the foundation for the astral plane, but is the fiery aspect of astral energy itself. The early morning is good for structuring inner work, as well as healing money issues and making an audacious step to promote freedom, yours or someone else’s. Moon goes into Aries at 10:53 am PT (1:53 pm ET), followed by a contact with assertive Mars and a harmony between purposeful Sun and deeply powerful Pluto. The rest of the day favors research, focused introspection, organization and independent, creative work.
