Happy almost Full Moon!
“November has brought many planetary shifts and changes. While all these shifts and changes are fruitful and are getting us ready for an action-packed 2019, we may have been feeling a little tense or a little uneasy about what’s ahead. We may be feeling change in the air, but we may not be sure how this change is exactly going to manifest.
2018 has definitely been a year for upgrading ourselves and for peeling back the layers so we can step into a higher consciousness and a higher level of awakening. It has been a stop-and-go type year where we have really been challenged to question and pause before moving ahead.
All of this energy is now coming to a head as we wrap up the end of the year, and we may be feeling a sense of renewal or rebirth creeping in. We may be feeling the merits of our hard work finally paying off.
The Universe will also bring more clarity our way with the November Full Moon on the 22nd-23rd in the sign of Gemini.
This Full Moon is going to help bring some clarity to the direction of our lives and will help us to understand a newfound truth about what direction we should be heading in.
The Gemini Full Moon of November falls at zero degrees Gemini. In numerology, zero represents all possibilities and infinite creative potential. It is the point before the beginning and represents the creative process we take before the idea comes to us.
Zero is the blank canvas before we have decided what it will be, and this is the energy that November’s Full Moon will encompass. In many ways, this Full Moon represents the potential of who we have become and what possibilities lay before us as we wrap up this year and prepare to start a new one.
There is strong illumination energy around this Full Moon too, and it’s likely some new truths are going to come to the surface. These truths may be painful, or they may be hard to swallow at first, but it is necessary for them to be revealed to us now.
There may be challenges that arise with this as there are some tense and harsh aspects around this Full Moon, but if you trust what unfolds and keep steady in your heart, you will be guided forward.
November’s Full Moon is all about illumination and coming into a newfound sense of self. It is a powerful Full Moon that will help us to wrap up where we have been and to see a new potential before us.
We have been sailing rough seas, but now we see what is beneath us, the colors of the fish, the beautiful shapes of the coral. We see the truth, and we are no longer afraid. This new clarity that has been gifted to us allows us to move forward with strength, with courage, and with a new truth in our hearts.
We have been working hard, but now we see, now we know, and with this, all potential and new possibilities open up to us.”

Happy New Moon!
“The sensitive Scorpio New Moon falls on November 7-8th and is going to help you tune into the wisdom and love that resides inside your heart and soul.
Healing the heart has definitely been a theme in the cosmos for these last few weeks due to Venus Retrograde. This energy has really been highlighting cracks and weak points in our relationships and bringing wounds of the heart to our attention so we can heal and transcend them.
Forgiveness is also a huge theme around this New Moon as well. If we think back to October, there was a lot of harsh energy brewing, especially around the Taurus Full Moon. Things may have been stirred at this time where you felt the need to lash out or act from a place of anger or ego.
Forgiveness is one of the most powerful healing tools we can offer ourselves and the world, and is the only way we can let go and transcend a situation.
Scorpio energy is all about transformation and moving to that next level, and under the vibration of this New Moon, we can use the power of forgiveness to hoist ourselves to that next level.
On this Scorpio New Moon, we are going to be given the opportunity to delve into our hearts in order to bring healing. We are going to be given the opportunity to soften any harshness and focus on finding forgiveness.
This New Moon is sensitive, it is compassionate, and it is also very romantic. You can use this energy to mend wounds in your relationships, to explore your creative gifts, and to set intentions from the heart.
Our hearts are going to be close to us around this New Moon, and we are going to be able to tap into them with greater ease. This is really a gift that we can all use, so make it a point to feel into the incredible love that is inside of you.
You are love. It is the very essence of who you are, and the more you allow it, the more you feel it, the easier it will be for you to be an expression of it.”

Happy Full Moon in Taurus!
“This is a moon of profound change and radical disruption of the status quo. It threatens to test even the strongest attachments if they compromise our freedom.
Squaring the North Node, this moon can either propel us forward or hold us back, depending upon how we use it. Refusing to budge can be as radical as letting everything go if that’s what circumstances require.
Wise discernment is key to managing the energy of this moon and we may well experience its ripples throughout the rest of the month.
Things long ripe for change may shift exponentially around this time, most likely just when we’ve gotten used to living with them as they are!
Likewise projects we’ve pursued because we thought we should may suddenly seem too burdensome to continue, auguring a return to a simpler life previously sacrificed on the altar of progress.
What this moon means for individual life circumstances will of course vary, but the end result can be a powerful and positive recalibration of our energy and intention if we let it.”

DANGEROUS COATS by Sharon Owens
“Someone clever once said Women were not allowed pockets
In case they carried leaflets To spread sedition
Which means unrest To you & me
A grandiose word For
commonsense
Fairness
Kindness
Equality
So ladies,
Start sewing Dangerous coats Made of pockets & sedition.”
Happy New Moon!
“The *NEW MOON* in Libra asks us to honor that which abides within, as we restructure how we move in the world of relationships.
It’s been a time of unearthing, sensing and deep feeling.
There has been much upheaval as Truth rises to be acknowledged.
More than ever we must remember that nothing goes unseen and our truth will always be a beacon when we stand in our integrity.
We are in relationship with every single thing in our lives, and each relationship is our sacred mirror of Reflection.
This is a powerful time of integration that serves as a catalyzing moment in our Soul’s journey to wholeness.
We must be loving with ourselves during this time and find the time to connect deeply with our Soul.”

“I call upon the oldest of old ancient feminine, the original Mother. I call upon Hecate, Calleach, Nana Buruku, Baba Yaga, Kali, Pele, the wise ones, the Crones to come marching in to surround our sister that stands in the trenches of the patriarchal halls of the “White House!” May the truth split open the skies & Oya, goddess of storms, blow through the lies and illusions of the old order & it crumbles to the ground. May all women across eternity, those living and those dead stand behind around below & above Dr. Ford protecting and guiding her heart & voice. May all female ancestors that were burned, sacrificed, raped by the patriarchy who believed their God gave them permission to do as they pleased, scream like wild banshees to destroy the story that is killing us all. May tomorrow be a new dream that is an old dream from a long long time ago, a dream where all of creation stood in the circle of life and was celebrated for simply being an intricate part of this great mystery of living on the skins of Mother Earth! Bonewoman.” ~Reda Rackley

“DESTINY is a feeling you have that you know something about yourself nobody else does. The picture you have in your own mind of what you’re about WILL COME TRUE.” ~Bob Dylan

Happy Full Moon in Aries!
“Despite tremendous friction and pressure, this one helps us yield to our feelings so that we can make crucial choices at the threshold of a new life.
Here the adventure makes things seem simple, and simplicity is the means to embrace the adventure!
This Full Moon will help us become perfectly clear about what works and what doesn’t, what we need to move into new effective realms of activity, and helps us find realizations as we move into a time of old forms falling away.
The ‘cutting, grinding, and polishing’ energies of the recent past have shown us the value of what is to be done, with this Full Moon revealing the larger sweep of cycles of creation.
As we are still dealing with squares between Libra and Capricorn, beware of dishonest comparisons and false equivalents.
Find the right sense of perspective and/or proportion, and make the decisions you need to in order to recalibrate your public and personal life, or the relationship of your outer life to your inner life.
Find ways to decrease the heaviness and take care of yourself, or decrease your defensiveness to find ways to be the wisdom of your ‘Spiritual Adulthood’ in the world.
The friction will be obvious, and there is great creative potential if we see how we’re dealing with the results of our previously held ideals.
This is a healing Full Moon, where laughter will make things easy, plain, and simple.
New developments beckon, but be patient as you work out potential consequences to embracing certain actions.
This one throws us into the future!”

“The so-called ‘Black Sheep’ of the family are, in fact, seekers of liberation roads for the family tree. Those members of the tree who do not adapt to the rules or traditions of the family system, those who were constantly seeking to revolutionize beliefs, going in contrast to roads marked by family traditions, those criticized, tried and even rejected, those, by General, they are called to release the tree of repetitive stories that frustrate entire generations. The ‘Black Sheep’, those who do not adapt, those who scream rebel, repair, detoxify and create a new and blooming branch… countless unfulfilled desires, unfulfilled dreams, frustrated talents of our ancestors manifest themselves in their rebellion looking to take place . The family tree, by inertia, will want to continue to maintain the castrating and toxic course of its trunk, which makes its task difficult and conflicting… that no one makes you doubt, take care of your ‘rarity’ as the most precious flower of Your Tree. You are the dream of all your ancestors ” ~Bert Hellinger
