Oh November!
This week’s 11-11-11 energy was a necessary respite for so many of us! I posted this on my social media pages: “11/11/11…we are in the portal of consciousness today that resonates at a 33, the universal number of Love. This number is considered a higher octave of Venus. How perfect that she is retrograde in Libra right now! What a powerful reminder to all of us about how we can live authentically, creatively, responsibly, lovingly, and with great beauty! So grateful to be here today!”
I was able to spend part of my 11/11/11 day being inspired by listening to the stories of two amazing women who literally walked into Tibet in order to offer prayers and ritual at Mount Kailash. We’re only a third of the way through the accounting of their adventure and I feel like I’ve been steeped in an Indiana Jones movie with the priestesses from the Mists of Avalon! And did I mention, they are in their 60’s/70’s?
The bar of my life was just raised. And I am grateful.
Speaking of grateful…Thanksgiving hosts our next Full Moon! I’m happy to report that Full Moons are the exact right time to make lists of what we are grateful for in our lives! Gratitude not only increases our heart’s optimal functioning, it offers the universe a direct channel to bring us more of what can make us happy.
In the wake of the fires raging here in California, I have not felt quite as celebratory with Jupiter’s move into Sagittarius last week. And, I do know that our collective support whether energetic or monetary does make a difference for the many people who have been traumatized with tremendous loss.
Grief and Ecstasy move along the same spectrum in my world. Sustainable transformation and practical magic are a mix of both of these and everything in between. Our human emotions are a response to what is moving inside us as well as what is happening around us. I don’t always know what to do with all that I feel but I do know that it is important to continue to feel. That’s the foundation for my own life and how I mentor, teach, and coach.
Deepening into emotion is part of what the movement of the Lunar Node into Cancer (which started last week) will be sharing and teaching us. I know this transit intimately because my North Node is in Cancer which means I’m here to experience FEELINGS and go as deep as I can even when I don’t want to…
This week Venus returns to her ‘forward motion’ prompting us to take what we’ve learned during her 40-day journey and review it during the Mercury retrograde that begins the same day (Friday).
I’m already feeling the Mercury retrograde. You know I so don’t want to fall into the category of the ‘warnings astrologer’. And…let’s back up our computers, double check our texts and emails, and call people back with clear minds and hearts. OK?
We definitely need another raffle! This time, I will be entering all of you who have been my clients so far in 2018 (or those of you who have appointments scheduled for November and December). The prize is one of my personal favorites: Drinking Chocolates from Black Dinah Chocolatiers based in Maine.
My sister Kate and her husband Steve hosted us in September. What an amazing experience to see how their dream of making chocolate has grown into so much more.
Please visit their website, read her blog (seriously good stuff there!), and gift yourself and your family with some delicious gourmet chocolates for the holidays. Everything tastes fantastic and the woodland creatures are my favorites (right now).
I think it would very fun to have the raffle after Venus goes direct and before Mercury goes retrograde, so I’m honoring Jupiter in Sagittarius on Friday morning at 10:30 am PST.
If you have been wanting to book a session, now’s the time. Option 1: $111 for a 30-minute reminder of how much the cosmos loves you. Option 2: $133 for 45 minutes of looking at how Venus and all the planets are on your side for sustainable transformation and practical magic.
Sending you love, beauty, and truth this week!
