In November we enter the astrological time of Scorpio (October 22 – November 21), ruled by the planet Pluto, (in ancient time Mars). During this time there are many other influences drawn from Five Element theory including the Element of Metal, the season of Fall, the time of harvest, the organs of the Large Intestine (LI) and Lung (LU), and the planet Venus.
On an emotional level this is a time to look for issues where we feel the need to be right, or to be included, as well as grief that is unresolved or activated. This can be grief on a collective level as we witness unprecedented change on our planet. On a physical level, look for mental imbalances, sinus issues, allergies and lung sensitivities. It is truly a time to come from the heart and not to be in the illusion of separateness or fear. The element of Metal is also associated with alchemy and this is a time of unity consciousness and the transformational process of becoming gold.
A treatment strategy to consider for this time is the Cosmic Capstone with Mercury/ Nibiru 3rd for integrating the alchemical and transformational process of becoming gold and owning our God/Goddess selves. Follow with Sedna/Nibiru 3rd and Sedna/Venus 6th, for integrating and opening to unity consciousness.
There are several important Astrological alignments worth noting for this November 2016, commencing with the New Moon in Scorpio on October 30th.
Building from Mary Burke Kelly’s article last month that focused on setting New Moon Intentions, this is an excellent time to focus on intentions that deal with Scorpio themes, as the veil for Scorpio energy is available at this time.
Treatment strategies for transitioning through the season of Fall and for the New Moon time, include working with Cycle Gate with the Pluto/New Moon 5th, placing the New Moon fork on LU 1, Central Treasury and Pluto on LIV 14, Cycle Gate. Follow with Sedna/New Moon 6th interval to take these new beginning to a new paradigm. Consider strengthening ST 25, Celestial Pivot and SP 6, Three Yin Intersection, during this season as well.
On November 3 Mercury is Sextile Pluto. This aspect invites a walk into the unknown to communicate with all that needs to be released. Remember Pluto is about the willingness to do deep inner work. Mercury is there to assist in witnessing our shadow selves as we step into balanced power, away from ego influences so that we are able to trust Spirit to support us in the unknown. The interval of Mercury and Pluto together creates a microtone that promotes movement within treatments where energy may be stuck. You might also work with the source points LI 4, Union Valley or LU 9, Great Abyss, and follow with an appropriate interval for support.
On November 14 we will experience a Super Full Moon. This is when the Full Moon is closest to the Earth, (perigee). This super moon will be the closest to Earth since January 26, 1948. It will be an extraordinary visual event, expected to be the most brilliant full moon you will witness in your life, and the biggest moon for 86 years. It is not this close to the Earth again until November 25, 2034. Super moons often have dramatic effect on the oceans, with exceptional low and high tides and possible earthquake activity. The magnetic pull from the moon affects the field of our Earth and our physical bodies. This magnetism can impact our nervous systems and emotional outlook. We are all influenced by this strong magnetic pull, and especially those with strong Moon installations in their astrological blue print. Ancient cultures consider full moons to be harbingers of change. This is an important time to ground the body and to get enough sleep. Consider working with the Yin Wei Mai and the Yang Wei Mei during this moon. On the Yin Wei Mai apply the Ohm/New Moon 5th and Ohm/Full Moon 6th followed by Sedna/Full Moon for nourishing the heart and blood. Use the Pluto/Zodiac 3rd on the Yang Wei Mai to let go and release what is no longer necessary for moving forwards. Another possibility to ground the nervous system during this time is to work with the Ohm Unison, Ohm Octave or Sedna Unison or Sedna Octave on the Du Mai, the Huato JiaJi and the Balio.
On November 24th, Thanksgiving Day in the United States, we have another significant astrological alignment when Pluto squares Jupiter. A square in astrology is when the culmination of joining energies pushes through to something else, inviting change. This alignment will happen 3 times over the course of 2017, (Nov 24, 2016, March 30th and August 4th, 2017). It does not occur again until May 17, 2023. Transiting Pluto in Capricorn asks us to come into our authentic selves. Any part of ourselves that does not walk our talk will be revealed, allowing us to see where we need to truly be in alignment with our true selves. Jupiter in Libra also provides us opportunity, faith, hope and expansion into taking a risk to really bring forth what we want to realize in this time in our lives. What dream, project, growth in your work, or humanitarian gifts do you desire to to give to the world through your heart?
November 25th, the day after Thanksgiving, Pluto conjuncts Venus. The coming together or these two planets squaring Jupiter is another opportunity to take a leap of faith, to be in the vibration of love that comes from our hearts, not our heads, with regards to our hopes and dreams. As we reflect on what we are grateful for this Thanksgiving, may we also reflect upon who we are or who we choose to become when all of our needs are met. A treatment strategy for Pluto squaring Jupiter might include UB 10, Celestial Pillar and UB 60, Kun Lun Mountain (the place of the Tao and the tiger spirit) with Pluto/Jupiter 4th followed with Jupiter/Venus 3rd to bring forth your spiritual destiny through the heart.
Another possibility is Cosmic Tuning with Sedna on Du 23, Upper Star to reset the axis mundi with a new paradigm, Pluto/Jupiter 4th on St 25, Celestial Pivot or Middle Star, allowing ourselves to be in the void, having faith for a new expanded consciousness and lastly, Venus/Jupiter 3rd on SP 8, Lower Star, seizing the opportunities of Earth, or Lower Star, to bring and expand heart energies with hope and faith for claiming a more harmonic and peaceful journey on Earth through unity and heart consciousness. May this installation allow you to continue your precious walk on Planet Earth birthing the World you are choosing to co-create through love, faith, harmony and peace, as we all work together to remember that we are the ones we are waiting for and LOVE is always the answer.
