MONDAY MUSINGS: RISE LIKE A PHOENIX!

Hi Guys!

How was your weekend? I hope you had some peaceful moments and found time to recharge and renew yourself…sipping frothy cappuccinos or yummy hot cocoa beside a roaring fire with people you love. Just visualize even if you cannot actualize!

Astrologically speaking, October was a difficult month for many. Let’s just say the planets were not in a party mood! There was a tug of war going on between the mighty Celestial Titans ‘up there’, so no, it wasn’t just you feeling it! As above, so below! November promises to be easier, unless you are a Taurus. We’re in the season of your polar opposite sign Scorpio, so rest up and conserve your energy wisely — actually that would be a very good idea for everyone this meditative month of November.

Mercury is retrograde until November 21st in the deep, intense, and sometimes melancholy sign of Scorpio. There will be a tendency for some to dig up the past, re-live sad moments, regret bad decisions made, and entertain sombre thoughts for departed loved ones no longer with us. As we bid farewell to playful Mr. Pumpkin, and say Hello to painful Mr. Poppy, we are bombarded with images of War and lives lost in battlefields around the world. We’re in a season of solemn remembrance. November can be sad – if you allow it!! I DON’T!

No, don’t allow your spirits to become drab, colourless, or your heart bereft of joy. Find renewal within! I actually love November! I love taking time to write in my journal, meditate, and enjoy solitary walks in nature. Gazing into big cozy fires and thoughts of Christmas just around the corner… It is a fabulous month to self-connect, recharge your batteries, kill bad habits, practise self-care, renew your spirituality, etc. you name it! It’s a month chock full of possibilities for new growth!

November, is also the month of the dead. Our church has a big book in which we are invited to write in it all the names of our departed loved ones. As a congregation, we pray for them. I love the way this gesture helps connect me even more closely to my deceased loved ones. So even though we cannot see our departed loved ones, they are forever in our hearts…Remember them in your thoughts and prayers. Light some candles for them in a passing Church…let them know you will never forget them. November is their special month.

If we could emulate the falling leaves, and just let things go…bad things. Bad memories, bad experiences. Just remember it’s through suffering you grow. And November allows you the opportunity to heal. Scorpios have the power to rise like a Phoenix from the ashes of their lives. You’re in Scorpio Season now, so you too can rise like a Phoenix from anything holding you back from becoming the best version of YOU!!

Hugs,

Patricia xxx
