November 2024 Insights
On November 1st the Scorpio new moon is defined by its ancient ruler Mars facing off with its modern ruler Pluto in an exact opposition at the final degrees of the work/life, family/society, roots to fruits polarity of Cancer-Capricorn. This is about as scary and sacred as this Halloween, Día de los Muertos, and All Saints Day can get. We are in the deep, where the dead are present and resolution feels both urgent and impossible. It’s time to awaken your shamanic power and alchemize opposing forces that exist in you to bring a bounty of hidden gems up from the dark and into the light of liberation. No one and nothing other than ourselves are keeping us stuck, tied up in knots of grief and anxiety, neither of which are true in this new present moment. Let your instincts and intuition guide you through the void into new territory not journeyed before. Bold proclamations will be spoken throughout this month and creative expressions previously held close to the chest are now bravely displayed. Pluto ascends back to the rarefied air of 0 Aquarius four days after its modern ruler Uranus is joined by the Taurus full moon and the ancient ruler Saturn stations direct on November 15. We will sense the staying power of this historic transition that officially augurs a 20-year acceleration of human evolution, scientific breakthrough, collective liberation, and freedom as the new form of currency. Although Mercury stations retrograde in Sagittarius on the 25th, we end the month free of hard planetary aspects, free to roam and discover new spiritual truths within our own authentic Fire energy, full of faith and determined to thrive. - Katina
“Peacemaking isn’t all rainbows and butterflies. It’s about courage, truth, and compassion. It’s about understanding the intention behind your actions and words so that you use both in alignment with your values and truths. Peacemaking supports the collective. You are invited to explore this by using the fundamental practices of assuming positive intent, gratitude, and upright mind. As a peacemaker, you value your relationship with yourself, with others, and with the collective. Peacemakers honor every individual, large or small, and appreciate all of creation and one another.” ~ The Mystics Path
Children | Outer | Right Livelihood
In November we see the Children card governing our Health and Wellbeing. What would it be for you to bring a childlike wonder to your wellness routines this month? As the world around us shifts, our physical vessels seek to shift as well. Be extra kind to yourself this month. Make choices wisely: things like your food, media, and even who you spend your time with. Set yourself up for a strong constitution to sustain you through the months ahead. Your inner child may hold wisdom for you. Ask and listen. Are there needs that are not being met? Are there patterns that want to be either released or revisited? The Children card calls upon us to remember that all our actions have implications down stream. Think of the guidance of the “seven generations” and apply that to your own health, body, mind and soul this month. What you do now, will yield returns many moons down the line. Be inspired. The Outer cards makes an appearance this month governing our Heart and Relationships. Outer energies align so beautifully to matters of the heart as it guides us to remember others as we navigate our journey. This month will have a huge focus on the collective and our role within it as individuals. From the elections in the United States to the global pockets of war and unrest we are being called to see with fresh eyes the realities of our human condition and center our humanity above all else. When things get rocky remember to hold the vision of an inclusive human people working together to solve the challenges before us. Do not succumb to divisiveness or vitriol. This may be a year of going deep into the “below” energies, but this is a month to go high. What we do for the one, we do for the all. Take this to heart this month. When it comes to our finances this month, we see the Right Livelihood card guiding the way again. First in August, now again as we wind our way to the closing of the year. Remember that Right Livelihood is our clarifying card for the Below card on the altar for the entirety of 2024. What does this mean? That in going deep, into the below, into our roots and deepest shadow, in so doing we align to our purpose, path and prosperity. In August we suggested that through inquiry we can access deeper levels of understanding of where we are meant to go to pursue and invite our Right Livelihood. This month, the opportunity is to take what was shown from that inquiry and set it into motion. Planting seeds in November you question? Yes, just as the energies of the new moon are potent for planting, so can these times of the drawing down into the earth. What you plant now will show itself as new growth in the spring. So set those intentions, set in motion the conditions for those intentions to take root and thrive and then bless and release them to find their own footing. Aligning to your highest levels of health, connection and prosperity rarely manifests overnight, we must stand steadfast in our vision of what could be. Be strong. Speak your Unspokens. Hold the truth in your heart. Trust, believe and allow. - Lindsay
