So this is your inward, quiet time of the year.  This is when all attention should be focused on alone time to process the past year.  At this time people tend to get a little depressed as the movie of the past year is played before them, and more often than not, you may be judging yourself and feeling that you haven't done enough or made as many leaps and bounds as you would like.  Let me tell you that you can let that negative thinking go.  It is not the truth; it is more like ammunition to get out there and do more and be more once your birthday hits and a new year comes into play.  It is like that thing where people who get cancer say the exact same thing about how it inspires them to do more, love more, live more, and appreciate every single moment of life.  This period you are in is sort of like that, where things feel more pulled back and inward and death like, but they are only the sign that a new life and new gusto is on the way.  Be stoked!  And also just be clear with others that right now you need more space and alone time and put them at ease that it has nothing to do with them. This is your time to go within and be with yourself but if you don't tell others then you will just end up with miscommunications and hurt feelings. 

There is a lot for you to think about and you will find that your mind is going  back in time and reliving some situations.  You may be wishing they could be reworked and replayed out, but understand you should be going back and reanalyzing things, but not for the fact of wanting to do a do over; it is more for you to find another way of looking at things and understanding the fate of things.  There really are no mistakes and when things come to you, they come for a reason.  Life is not always easy, but thank god, after it is hard, it tends to swing to the other side and become easier and more blissful.  Life is a cycle and it  never only stays down.  It also never only stays up.  Sometimes when things are going really great I feel a little sadness with knowing that everything changes and soon like the changing of the seasons, I will feel a little down and confused once again.  But that is life.  It is never stagnant and the only people who think it is and who live day to day with the same emotions and feelings, are truly in fact not really feeling and are more numb and just moving through the motions. The ones who are connected to their hearts, feel things intensely.  The popular label of bi-polar these days is just put on someone who is really alive and connected to heart energy.  But people who live as robots and who are living through their minds, don't understand the heights of like being in love and wanting to proclaim it to the world at large, while then feeling the sadness for an abused animal, or the awakening of the intentions of our government, or the facing of the rape of the earth all for the bottom line: money.  When you are connected to your heart, you can swing back and forth with your emotions at any number of events coming your way throughout the day.  I can scroll down facebook and see a post on whatever, like any sort of abuse of dogs and tears will just naturally come to my eyes.  Yet at the same time, I can be feeling so happy and loving my moment profusely.  I can swing from all emotions naturally because I am so connected to heart energy.  It doesn't mean I am bi-polar.  It means I have a heart and I am a feeling being.  So, I guess my point is, you are too.  And if you find that throughout the day you are fluctuating between the happiness of a new days sunrise, to the sadness from the thinking of the state of our oceans,  to the happiness of thinking of the one you love, to the sadness of the happenings from the occupy movement, to the happiness of the happenings from the occupy movement, to the sadness, to the happiness and on.  That is okay!  Dude you are HUMAN!  Be thankful.  The world is mostly populated with disconnected robots, so be happy you are not like the majority who functions on a very low vibration, like AM radio.  That's the thing about AM radio vibes...they are low and uncolorful and have sad dull facial expressions, but they travel far and wide.  FM is vibrant and clear and high vibrating, but it travels in smaller circles.  And kind of like how we ultimately want to move to smaller circles and local and FM does represent that concept.  Anyway ...

So if you aren't as of yet an addicted meditator...now is the time to start.  This will be the easiest time to shut it all down and quiet the mind and feel and intuit your next steps and solutions to "problems".  The more you meditate, the more you will feel in control of your life.  The more you can quiet your mind, the more you will see how everything has a place in your life.  The more you meditate, the more comfortable you will be with the thin veils that separate living and death.  The more you meditate the more comfortable you will be with death, and with living life fully.  The more you mediate the more assured you will be with what  opportunities you can jump on with no doubt. 

And please do use the time up to your birthday to really be lazy, unmotivated, quiet and still, because after your birthday you begin another cycle, and energy and focus and new direction will return.  Its like you spend all this time working behind the scenes to make a holiday meal and to put together all the ingredients and then it is done and you all meet up at the table to dish it out and eat it up and laugh and celebrate the moment.  The eating and togetherness part is coming soon, but for now focus on the dish you are preparing and don't rush it and make it half assed because if you do,  no one will enjoy it and you will be embarrassed for making such a messed up dish of food.  I was having a party once and making these yummy spinach balls and I didn't check the state of the butter, not knowing it was actually kind of old and had taken on all these nasty flavors and I made them anyway, without checking and was so excited to share this yummy recipe with others ..... and it ended up grossing them out!!  They were all like YUCK!!!  And I was embarrassed and so wished I would have gone slower and through all the details, but I didn't, and I rushed it along and ruined a whole batch of what should have been something that everyone would scarf down.  So take your time with this introspective period.  Do not rush it and only come out when your are really ready. 

So a lot is going on this month with Neptune going direct on November 9th.  This will be a great time to find those words to say which bring healing to those closest to you.  If any rifts have been keeping you from being clear and speaking in a loving manner with others, then now you will feel a block released and the words will flow.  If you are a writer then you can really expect to speak with the voice of spiritual wisdom and enlightenment.  Ultimately your words will be more healing and will be making a stronger influence on others.  Speak up and speak with confidence!  You got it and the people are listening. 

Then the next day, November 10th, Chiron goes direct in the first degree of Pisces AND we have a Full Moon at 18 degrees Taurus.  Chiron is the wounded one who after healing her wounds, is then able to go out and heal others because of her experience in authentically walking her talk.  So Chiron has been in the position of inner healing and also in Pisces which is very sensitive and psychic and in tune with the mysteries of life.  Chiron will now be sending us forward after spending so much time looking within and healing our sensitive buttons and we will be walking into much more appropriate roles in the world that reflect our level of authentic experience. During this time you will feel more inward and sensitive to others so truly at this Full Moon whatever comes up for you, know that it is an area that needs to be healed and transformed.  Something may come up at work too which may point you in a new direction.  Whatever it is, expect that it will be intense, but know that it is just happening to awaken you to a better healthier way of being and that it will pass once the heat of it is drawn out. 

And the much anticipated 11.11.11 will arrive the NEXT day.  This is the most magical energetic portal times of our lives.  How to use it?  I say keep this day totally clear for only high vibrational thoughts and intentions and actions.  Do a ceremony if ceremonies are your thing.  Keep your eyes open for any signs or insights that draw you in.  Mediate at 11:11am your time and 11:11pm your time and FEEL the energies moving through you.  Imagine at this time that all beings are in tune and aware of the magic that flows through us all and that we are all one and the same.  Intend to only do and be love on this day. 

Mercury will be going Retrograde once again on November 23rd, so all moves BEFORE this time should be followed, but after this time they should only be contemplated.  This will be a great time for you to really think about who you want in your space and who really makes you feel good about who you are.  Go towards the ones who allow you to be you and who have the boundaries to be themselves too.  Anyone who smothers you or is not cool with your alone space is not a good match, whether platonic, romantic or co-worker based.  Think through what it will take for you, number one, to be happy and content and authentic with BEING who really are. 

The New Moon will arrive on November 26th and the Sun and Moon will be sitting at 3 degrees Sagittarius.  This is YOUR New Moon to manifest your new beginnings.  This is your time to intend any new trails you want to go down.  This is your time to intend to take risks that light up your heart, and just KNOW there will be a good outcome.  This is your time to leap, to trust, to believe in yourself and your ability to choose the correct path for YOU.  Be strong and courageous as the beginning of your month and the solitude was there to show a new way for you to take.  The past 3 weeks were guiding you in a direction that you will see will fee like home and you will see it will feel like it was catered just for you!  It's okay. Do it.  Your heart is saying Yes and it is time...
