What will your November script look like this month?
While pondering the question above, keep in mind that Mercury has been in retrograde since October 24th, and then will go back direct on November 13th.
Given the spirit of the season can play out like an old episode of The Twilight Zone show, funkiness is a perceptual influencer on our souls at this time. Dark and dreary nights recapture the sentiment of old Steven King books, film adaptations, etc.
What I mean by that is Mercury in Retrograde isn’t anything to be superstitious about, like many of our ancestors would often get. Or like when they became superstitious during other times of blurred boundaries between the spirit and physical realms, like the Samhain aka thinning of the veils. Many folks still do that, especially because we have been conditioned to be afraid of the dark and spooked by the shadows, like the fear of the unknown.
In a deeper and higher reality, Mercury in Retrograde give us an opportunity to move further into our right brains, access meditative states and re-examine the way we were with our old selves. Moreover, we can focus on who we are becoming as the seeds of our rebirthing new self are taking root. Left brain activity, tends to get their wires crossed; as does logical and rational computations…machines too.
Check out this brief YouTube video by Meditation teacher Don Oakley. During the last round of a 7 week meditation group, we focused primarily on Don’s material:
And with mid-term elections coming up in the US, don’t be surprised to see the pendulum swinging back and forth. It’s obvious that there is a real struggle going on in the US and the world at large. Here in America, the gap between the haves and have nots continues to grow.
But in the greater world of 8 billion souls, at least 3 billion live in the kind of poverty where they don’t even have access to energy to cook their own food. Power to the People is a Constitutional right.
A hundred years of hoarding the existing technology to give the people free, clean energy; as well as radical advancements in health care are games changers for everyone. Wars that are justified by the Establishment, particularly under the guise of National Security in the Middle East, will become a thing of the past because there’s no more bloodshed for oil.
Yes, it is a grave truth that systemic change doesn’t come from the top down. Rather, societal change comes from grass roots movements. We the People have to step up and into our power, like shamans mean when encouraging humanity to step into Infinity.
The reason left of the dial socialist candidates are on the rise is because the one headed, two party system has a club that is interested in short term profits and self preservation. Moreover, the proliferation of negative ads and fear based propaganda is intentional.
Money, like any other form of currency is energy. Like awareness, money isn’t good or bad, it just is. What we do with the energy is what matters.
Maximum economic profit capitalism isn’t sustainable, particularly without a strong spiritual grounding power to it. Socialism isn’t a cure either, but merely a balancing on the scale to create a more fair and just society. The reason people turn to the streets and riot is because their voices continue to be suppressed and repressed. Same with gangs and organized crime. They represent a false flag of security.
Everyone has a sovereign right and role to play in the process of co-creating Heaven on Earth. We all need to work together in the spirit of win-win politics of mutual aid. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
The Samhain aka Halloween will happen on October 31st to November 1st, along with other thinning of the veils energies falling on All Saints’ Day on the 1st, and All Souls’ Day & The Day of the Dead on November 2nd.
Our ancestors honored the thinning of the veils; where the lines between the spirit & material realm can be perceived as thinner. That’s why it can be harder to differentiate between the 3-D & spiritual realms during this season.
Costumes, including masks are traditionally worn during the thinning of the veils period. From a consciousness perspective, wearing masks can awaken shapeshifting, transformation, and portals into other alternate realities or imaginative realms.
This is a powerful time to honor our ancestors who have passed on and tune into their spirited energies that will be more perceptible during this time.
Meditation on the medicinal energies of Bat can awaken transformation through the dark cave of death of the old self, and resurrect the process of rebirth into who you are becoming.
What messages does spirit have to say to you about this?
Perhaps the New Moon in Scorpio on November 9th will inspire a need to delve into deeper feelings and journal about them.
Are meaningful emotional exchanges asking you to expand your consciousness?
Are you becoming disinterested in shallow relationships because you are not in alignment with them anymore?
November brings the Full Beaver Gemini Moon on November 24. This Full Moon will also be a Supermoon; as in it will appear larger and brighter than other full moons.
Its Gemini orientation sheds moonshine on curiosity, conversation, and the many small threads you’re weaving toward what comes next.
Traditionally, this Full Moon was named for the season because it reflected the way industrious beavers grew even busier by building their winter dams.
For humans, early trappers were feeling the pressure to set their traps before the waters froze. As such, it isn’t a coincidence that this full moon is one of preparation, communication, and steady industry.
Meditation on Beaver captures connections to the Freemasons, who were instrumental in the development of both Colonized America, as well as a powerful totem to Indigenous people beforehand.
Beavers symbolize the ability to traverse both terrestrial, watery worlds, craft secret tunnels and the awakening of perceptual doors.
The layout of the political center of Washington, D.C. reflects Beaver’s spiritual engineering guidance. Their capacity for building multiple exit strategies and navigating multiple dimensions hints at the multidimensionality of our experiences.
A Full Beaver Moon in Gemini manifests itself by the need for changes and spontaneity.
As a self-care ritual, make moon-charged water by filling a glass jar with clean water. Leave glass of water outside or on a windowsill under the full moon overnight, and then enjoy drinking the moon water the next morning.
Safety lies in thinking about your feelings and sharing them with others.
Given that Gemini reflects communication, you can be more talkative and speak with greater ease during this timeframe.
Maybe you’ll be more equipped to a keep a cool head now. But a cold heart can discourage others. Be mindful of the importance of harmonizing thinking and feeling.
As we trek further into the dark and closer to the Winter Solstice, let these energies inspire you to tend to what matters most as the year moves toward its close.
May All Beings Be Free From Suffering And Awaken To Inner Peace,
Ari
