AFFIRMATION FOR SCORPIO
People enrich my life. I am open to meeting new friends.

We may never be remembered for doing great, great things in life, but if we do all little things with Love, we will never be forgotten by a few, and will be remembered with warmth and a smile.

Nothing matters more than the Spiritual Life Fire dwelling within YOU!

Daylight savings time is over and
the days are longer but the time grows shorter!

MEDITATION:

There comes a time when you seek to comprehend the true meaning of PEACE, and how you as an individual may find that peace, a peace which the world can neither give you nor take from you.

This is one way. Visualize the blazing Star, still, and yet full of life and light. Identify yourself with the Star, with the center of that Star. Allow your energies to go into the still center of that Star. Within that center you will find that all the anxieties of material life, all the struggles that you encounter in daily life, will fall away from you. In the heart of the Star is deep, eternal peace, and within this peace you are united with those whom you love.

On a daily basis give yourself time to enter this Star Temple, this calming scene. Go into it, away from the noise and turmoil and tumult, the fears and anxieties of the material plane. There, within the center of this Star, find divine, holy peace. Hear within your Soul the music of the heavenly spheres, the music of the Holy Word, the audible lifestream which flows from the heart of the Creator.

Be still now, within your mind and body. Listen inwardly. Beneath all sound, beneath all thought, in the deep silence at the heart of creation, you will hear the harmony of God.

May God grant me Health, Protection and Guidance.

The Sun has entered SCORPIO

SCORPIO energies bring a renewed interest in sharing. You become more public oriented and are searching for love as well as career recognition. Be determined that early month trauma, fears, pessimism, repression and doubts can be eliminated from your life as you promote a penetrating insightfulness, willpower and the skill to solve mysterious riddles. This is the height of the season. Autumn has truly arrived. Enjoy entertaining and socializing with friends and colleagues. Above all, cultivate the skill of open, empathetic communication in place of subtle deception. Scorpio is an intense sign, and is not in a realm of easy answers, but it always holds the gold key to spiritual transcendence.

Based on the Rune (Journey) and Animal (Mouse) November brings a time when career conflicts could conflict with the needs of family. Strive for balance and seek help from co-workers and family members. It is possible that some Scorpios could relocate for a new job or a job promotion. Think carefully before making a big change. Just because money is flowing in today does not mean it will continue into next year. 2009 promises to be a strain for all of us — at best.

ANIMAL: MOUSE

MOUSE - Scrutiny

If I could see the world
Through your tiny eyes,
Maybe I would know
How to scrutinize!

Every detail carries weight
And true to its purpose,
Has its perfect place,
To stop the wandering and
Three ring circus!

Mouse says, “I will touch everything with my whiskers in order to know it.” Paradoxically, this is both a great power and a great weakness. It is good medicine to see up close and to pay attention to detail. It is bad medicine to chew everything into little pieces.Mouse says, “I will touch everything with my whiskers in order to know it.” Paradoxically, this is both a great power and a great weakness. It is good medicine to see up close and to pay attention to detail. It is bad medicine to chew everything into little pieces.

Mouse has many predatory enemies, including birds, snakes and cats. Mouse is food for many, so it has a highly developed sense of danger at every turn. So-called civilization is a highly complex set of components which calls for more and more highly organized skills and scrutiny every year. Mouse is a powerful medicine to have in these times. Things that may appear insignificant to others take on enormous importance to Mouse.

Mouse people anger many others at times because they appear to be nit-pickers. Mouse people will spot the lint on someone’s skirt, even if it matches in color. They will try to convince you that the simplest task is fraught with difficulty. They are fixated on methodology. They sort, categorize and file away for further use. They may seem like they are hoarding, but this is the farthest thing from Mouse’s mind. They are merely putting everything in order so they can explore things more carefully at a later date.

The Shaman Chief tells us that without Mouse, there would be no systemization of knowledge. Mouse knowledge ended the Renaissance Man and harkened the age of specialization. Mouse knew from the very beginning that “there is always more to learn.” One can always delve deeper, and deeper, and deeper.

Scorpio energies has brought to us the medicine of Mouse. You may be fearful of life but very well organized, with a compartment for everything. You should try to see a larger picture than the one that is staring you in the face. Develop a largeness of Spirit. Try to become aware of the winds of change, the rain, the sun and the great dance of life. Realize that even though you may live in Santa Barbara, there is also New York. There is a moon, a solar system, a galaxy, and an infinite universe. Jump high, little friend, and you may see the Sacred Mountain.

November and the time of Scorpio is telling you to scrutinize. Look at yourself and others carefully. Maybe that big hunk of cheese is sitting on a spring awaiting a deadly trap! Perhaps the cat is in the pantry waiting just for you. Maybe someone to whom you have delegated authority, such as a doctor, lawyer, or the plumber, is not doing the job faithfully. This message from Mouse is to see exactly what is in front of your eyes, and act accordingly.

RUNE of the Month

Wunjo - Journey

Joy, Light

Wunjo is the Rune of the fruit bearing branch and quite appropriate as we are in the month of harvest and thankfulness. With the beginning of a completion energy, the term of trial is ended and you have come in to yourself in some regard. The shift that was due has occurred and now you can freely receive its blessings, whether they be in material gain, your emotional life or in a heightened sense of your own well-being. This is an alchemical moment in which understanding is transmuted from knowledge. The knowledge itself was a necessary but not sufficient condition. Now you can rejoice at having been carried across the gap by the Tao, the Holy Spirit.

Joyousness accompanies new energy, energy that was blocked before now. Light pierces the clouds and touches the waters just as something lovely emerges from the depths. The Soul is illuminated from within at the meeting place of Heaven and Earth, the meeting of the waters.

There is a new clarity, which may call for you to renounce existing plans, ambitions, goals. It is proper and timely that you submit, for Wunjo is a Rune of restoration causing the Self to become properly aligned with the Blessed Higher Self. You will enter into the State of Being.

Things may be slow in coming to fruition. The process of birth is long and arduous with fears for the safety of the child within. A crisis, a difficult passage, if ever so brief, may be at hand. Consideration and deliberation are called for, because light and shadow still exist and are intermixed so doubt and sarcasm may interfere with joyousness if this period is not understood as a timely process for your Soul growth. So stop your anxiety and ask yourself whether you possess the virtues of seriousness, sincerity and emptiness. To possess these virtues is to also have tranquility, which is the path to clarity, patience and perseverance.

Seen in the light of truth, the pathway of life is a test. Stay focused in the present, remaining sincere towards others, trusting your process, and you will know that you cannot fail.

Don’t be afraid to make the leap or take the chance.

STARGAZING FOR NOVEMBER 2008

Discover the secrets of your Astrological Sun Sign,
Moon Sign and Rising Sign
and read them all together, for monthly guidance and direction.

The Full Moon in TAURUS on November 13th brings the best time to conclude financial decisions, beautification projects and make some decisions for 2009.

The New Moon in SAGITTARIUS on November 27th brings a celestial, spiritual reminder to be thankful for many things. The positive joy of this New Moon on Thanksgiving Day can bring warmth and light into your life.

SCORPIO: Polarity: Feminine Sign: Mutable - Element: Water – Planetary Rule: 8th House / Pluto – Genitals-Colon - FOCUS: I DESIRE

The Personal Signs:

ARIES (3/21-4/20)

Despite the urge to get away from it all travel isn’t the wisest choice now, especially early or late in the month. Opt for a mental journey inward, instead of a physical one as a way to satisfy your spirit of adventure. Take a quick class, or stock up on the latest books. If you have a legal matter pending, listen to expert advice. Your career continues to be a bright spot of opportunity. You have the potential to make a star-studded leap in status. Keep alert, because the opportunity might be sudden and from an unexpected source. Close ties benefit the first few days of the month. However, relationships with in-laws and other family members could present a challenge, especially around the Thanksgiving Holiday. Do your best not to be drawn into a no-win situation. It’s just not worth the aggravation. The focus needs to continue on money matters. Although you’ve got it to spend unexpected expenses could quickly arise. Be wise. Save! Also, spend conservatively.

TAURUS (4/21-5/21)

You could see another side of someone at work, the boss or a co-worker, different from what you thought to be true. Although this will be disappointing, chalk it up to a case of “live and learn.” Just be careful what you tell to whom. Someone could try to lead you astray, steal the credit, or undermine your effort. Believe in the facts, not promises or rumors. You may begin to search new territories or new scenery. That’s a plus if you plan to travel this month, or if you’re planning a winter trip. If you’re a student (or the parent of one) in search for funding for college admittance, you could have plenty to celebrate. Personal relationships continue to delight you. Communication strengthens ties, and you’ll be on the same wavelength as your partner, close friends and loved ones. Share your thoughts and feelings and let them know how much they mean to you. Finances will be mixed with the possibility of unexpected expenses as well as gains.

GEMINI (5/21-6/20)

Even though work will be hectic and you’ll be in the midst of the holiday social whirl. You will need to slow the pace a little. Take time for yourself and make sleep, rest, and relaxation daily priorities. You’ll only get further behind if you get run down if you get a cold or the flu. You could get some extra cash this month, Gemini. A year bonus or a raise, gift or inheritance from a family member is possible. There could be some conflict with family members over the Holiday Plans, bit others will encourage you to strengthen ties with those closest to you. Family and career relationships are the main focus. Your work life is in the fast lane right up to the Thanksgiving Day holiday. After the 16th you may be able to relax a little. Until then, complete as much as you can in the shortest possible time. Snap up every opportunity to showcase your talents and leadership ability for those who count.

CANCER (6/21-7/22)

You are feeling the urge to travel but you are advised against it this month and also warned to be very careful while driving on the road. If you want to get away for a few days of love, make reservations at a local luxury hotel rather than chance a delay, cancellation, or accident. It is also possible than an elderly relative will need your help this month. If you can arrange it, stay home and catch up on personal chores in early November. You can accomplish a lot and get a little rest before getting back to work. Your work will accelerate as the month unfolds. Holiday socializing will get off to a fast start. This influence will continue, especially around the time of the Taurus Full Moon on the 13th. Along with all this socializing come plenty of opportunities to meet a new romantic interest. Couples will delight in togetherness right through the Holidays from November 12th on. Your hectic days at work will extend into December. You’ll get a preview starting November 16th. Make it a point to strengthen coworker relationships so that you can call on others to l end a hand when the work begins to pile up.

LEO (7/23-8/22)

Life at home is very busy. This could include renovations, repairs, preparing for and entertaining guests, and lively interaction with other family members. It’s a good time to do fall cleaning, get the carpets steamed and put a fresh coat of paint on the walls. You can have fun while you increase the enjoyment of your home. If you are doing repairs around the home, it’s important to do some exercise that uses muscle groups differently from the ways they are being fatigued at work. Take a walk or run sometime some time during the day. You may be more sensitive than you think to fumes from cleaning and construction products. Keep your workspace and home well ventilated. Be extra careful with any sharp or electric tools. In spite of the minor challenges you face with all the activity at home, family life is good. However, in a time of tiredness or stress, it is possible to say the wrong thing. An immediate and simple apology will go a long way toward recreating harmony. You may feel inspired and optimistic as the month wears on. You’ve worked hard over the past year to create something new, and now things are running much more smoothly, feeding in to your big plans for success. Now is the time to let your creative side run free, because it is through what you do now that you’ll discover and later fulfill your greatest potential.

VIRGO (8/23-9/22)

After the 16th you will be working on some home improvements. Unfortunately this also increases the potential for a domestic mishap, so be cautious in the kitchen and when working with tools. Also, be sure to consult family members before you move forward with a project. They may have some other ideas. Communication will continue to be a strength for you this month, Virgo. But you’ll want to be especially alert and attentive mid-month. Double-check details and don’t believe everything you hear. Your social life begins to accelerate after the 12th. You also have an extra measure of charisma that’s ideal to attract a new romantic interest or to charm your partner. You’re almost sure to connect with a powerful person, so be alert for opportunities. Money matters and your work life are routine It is doubly important that you check credentials if you need to consult a professional, especially regarding your portfolio.

LIBRA (9/23-10/22)

You could dive into a major home renovation project, relocate for a job, or establish a home-based business. Consider all the pros and cons before you act. The temptation to make a snap decision will be strong, but whatever decision you make now will play out for many years to come. Home will be your comfiest, and favorite place to be after the 12th. It’s a terrific center for entertaining friends and spending time with family. Get your place ready for the Holidays and to possibly list for sale. Evenings and weekends with close friends and family will be among November’s fondest memories. You may want to avoid some relatives, however. Also, someone could try to drag you into a neighborhood or community disagreement, but it is probably best to allow others to fight their own battles. Money matters are mostly status quo, although you should be cautious about investments and putting any funds at risk. This isn’t the best month to sign a contract or to apply for a loan or mortgage. If you want to get ahead, read every word of any contract and seek the advice of a professional, if necessary.

SCORPIO (10/23-11/22)

Be careful if you work around the house this month. What might seem like a simple repair will tend to be far more complicated, despite what a family member or friend may tell you. Call a professional because it will ultimately be less expensive. November brings you a new opportunity, but one that requires change and possibly risk. Be cautious with your financial resources, but remain open to what could be a terrific money making opportunity. You could have a fabulous idea for an innovative product or suddenly realize that a hobby might produce a great sideline income. People, especially loved ones, will take on an added importance over the coming Holiday Season. This influence also emphasizes partnerships and professional consultations, although, you’ll want to check credentials and align yourself only with those who are personally and financially trustworthy. You can expect your finances to fluctuate, especially at the New Moon on the 27th. Unexpected expenses are as likely as a boosted income. Keep your eye on your budget and avoid debt!

SAGITTARIUS (11/23-12/21)

November is a plus for finances, career developments and your domestic life. However, you could be prompted to make a sudden, and perhaps unwise, career change. Think carefully if your sights are set on a home-based business, relocation, or an entrepreneurial venture. The success of this will be a toss up, so be sure to get all the facts before making a decision. November is about you, Sag! Get ready to dash through each day after the 16th. Your ambition and initiative will be a dynamic combination, but that can also encourage you to push others too far. Patience will be very much your ally at home, on the job, along with relationships and decision-making. You can expect your social life to take a brief hiatus in November. You’ll be much more inclined to enjoy quiet evenings with your family. Work will take much of your time and talents in the two weeks after the Full Moon on the 13th. You are likely to get a financial boost later in the month. A promotion is possible.

CAPRICORN (12/22-1/19)

Much of your action will be behind the scenes this month. You may be involved in confidential negotiations involving a career move, a legal or insurance matter, or taking a temporary retreat from the world because of a job or school deadlines. By month’s end you’ll be ready to launch a new personal direction. Listen closely to what’s around you that first weekend in November. If you have a chance socialize with colleagues or talk with a decision maker. You could learn about an opportunity that will be yours by year’s end. See and meet friends who could widen your social and business circles. You might even connect with an old friend or co-worker. Your love life is in the spotlight at the Full Moon on the 13th. Finances are status quo this month, although a friend could ask you for a loan or to make a donation mid-month. Do what’s best for you but don’t expect to get paid back. Also, safeguard your valuables when you’re out in public.

AQUARIUS (1/20-2/18)

For you the emphasis this month will be on luck and money. Chances are you’ll come out ahead, but with this Uranus activity, all bets are off. You could just as easily gain a windfall as an extra expense — or both. Take a chance on the lottery or enter a few contests around the 10th. Then, cross your fingers! If you’re a part of a couple, plan a few evenings at home around the Full Moon on the 13th. The timing will be perfect, as the planets are providing a terrific recipe for romance. Fun, friendships and the Holidays are a perfect mix. The New Moon on the 28th will carry this energy into December. You’ll want to be selective about where and when you’ll go. Think twice about planning an event the first week of the month. It may be pricey, and more important, not worth the expense. If you want to see some friends, invite them to your place for a casual evening. Thanksgiving weekend will be the best, when some singles will connect with a romantic interest. Your career life will be busy all month, but not excessively so. Most of all, you Aquarians’ are in for a prime set-up. Make it happen!

PISCES (2/19-3/20)

A major planetary lineup of Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus will culminate this month and make their final contacts with each other. All of this will contribute to events that will unfold this month and December. You may align yourself with new people or someone who presents an unusual opportunity, and distance yourself from others. Just be aware that actions taken now are unlikely to be reversed. November is a good month for short-term learning. Take a class or attend a seminar designed to quickly bring you up to speed on the latest job skills. Or, take a leisure time class, just for the fun of it. Learn to play Bridge. Relationships are this month’s hotspot. You’ll have the right words at any meet-and-greet event around the Full Moon on the 13th. Your career will come into high focus later in the month. You can expect a fast paced environment throughout the end of the year with increased potential for recognition, Pisces, around the time of the New Moon on the 28th.
