I remember hearing an amazing story recently,
about a hawk swooping out of the sky,
and then unexpectedly offering a freshly killed snake,
as a surprise gift along the path of a startled traveler . . .
Given that Hawk symbolizes the power of observation,
we are invited to see what messages are being sent to us from Spirit . . .
What does Snake have to say to you about the power
of fire that burns within our soul?
Election Day swoops in tomorrow,
along with a New Moon on Wednesday . . .
The winds of change are swirling around in the air!
Hawk has connections with New Moons,
and Mercury . . .
And at the tail end of next week, we will be revisited by
Mercury in Retrograde again.
Many people experience spacing out more at that time, or feel like
they are walking in a Twilight Zone kind of reality.
But Mercury in Retrograde is also a good time to look at things
in a different light, venture deeper into the dark,
and give rise to a new moon shine through a wider angle lens.
Of course New Moons are always associated
with new beginnings . . .
Our ancestors believed that the wall between the
spirit and material realms relaxed at this time of year,
making it easier for our different worlds to intersect.
If you magnify that with the energies streaming in right now,
it might be tempting to get sucked into your fears,
and find yourself coming from places of hate . . .
But try to trust in the Universe, and its vibration of
Love and Truth to light our way together, as we
move further into a new connections.
It is a good time to meditate on letting go of old ways, old boxes,
shedding the conditioning of our old skins,
so that we can awaken to new,
more porous ways of being at this time.
Snake reflects metamorphosis . . .
Yesterdays shadows want to transform into the light of healing
Perhaps you venture down into a snake hole in your consciousness,
and see how you can come up with new eyes to look at
your past fears in a fresh way . . .
Emotions are waxing now, and will be further amplified
by a Full Beaver Moon on November 23rd.
Beavers are epic builders, and like to get their work done
before swamps freeze for the Winter . . .
I think about how many of our Founding Fathers were Freemasons,
and that their animal totems empowered them to create in a new industry,
while building a New World back then.
Perhaps this could be an invitation into the realm of Temperance
regarding anger about their ignorance of their injustices at that time,
in spite of the Divine expression that manifested as the Constitution.
But consider that people didn’t even know that
dinosaurs existed on this planet
at the time when this sacred document was written.
What is looked upon as conventional science today,
can easily become yesterday’s dinosaur!
The will of the people are speaking up.
We might as well hear the messages that are being spoken!
Today, we are waking up again to new perspectives,
frontiers, and ways of being together.
Till we tweet again peeps,
Ari
