Ponder this ...

• What goals can I work towards bringing to fruition in the coming month ?
• What is becoming clear, what Truth is being revealed, that I need to embrace rather than deny or fear ?
• What does freedom mean to me, and how can I give myself permission to step boldly and fully into it ?

She is free in her wildness, she is a wanderess, a drop of free water. She knows nothing of borders and cares nothing for rules or customs. 'Time' for her isn’t something to fight against. Her life flows clean, with passion, like fresh water. ~ Roman Payne

MARS IN CAPRICORN

through 9 Nov

With action-hero Mars now in steady Capricorn, he is extremely motivated to succeed and absolutely nothing can stop you from achieving your goals now. We're motivated to climb the ladder of success and blessed with the stamina to reach the top. Mars in Capricorn adds determination and endurance to all our plans, for better or for worse.

XXI THE WORLD

• We see the whole picture, the full potential of our goals and aspirations. If we’ve been doing the work, then we are likely to start seeing all the pieces falling into place to bring things to their conclusion and completion.

• There’s nothing we can’t accomplish right now … the world is our oyster, and things are lining up at our feet in reverence and offering for who we’ve become and what we have been doing to embody what we have to offer.

• Let’s keep our eye on the prize and focus on moving things already in existence to their manifestation point. This is what will set us up for embracing and taking advantage of the new, or the next level. So don’t jump the gun out of excitement or anticipation only to discover after the fact that a missing piece intrudes on the forward momentum.

• Let go and allow yourself to dance to the rhythm and drumbeat of the Universe

NEPTUNE RETROGRADE

through 17 Nov

The fog is lifting, and where there was confusion, uncertainty or obscuration, a new dose of clarity comes to your day to day habits and your job. Take note of any insight you receive as it may have seriously implications in the future. Accept the truth of oneness and the interconnectedness of all that exists. It is common to feel a greater need for seclusion and privacy when Neptune's influence is strong. We are more introspective and more receptive to our inner voice now. We may also feel more emotionally vulnerable.

IX THE HERMIT

• The perfect card to represent the illumination of what was obscured, buried, feared in the darker shadows and recesses.

• We are called to open our eyes and truly see what is, no longer living in denial or trying to escape and hide away. Doing so allows us to take the next step on our journey. The step or direction may be different than what we had expected or anticipated.

• Trust the way being shown and courageously put one foot in front of the other to follow it. Where we thought we were going, and where it is best for us to end up may not be the same. Something wiser, greater, and more experienced knows and wants to help us in our growth and evolution for the greatest good and into our highest Self.

URANUS RETROGRADE

through 29 Dec

Freedom is the word to the wise as rebel planet Uranus continues its retrograde cycle. Now is the time to look at life from a fresh perspective, toss out the old ways of doing things and feel free to create a whole new world. We're at the beginning of a profound period of change, which can only happen person-by-person, one small change at a time. Bring the creative side of yourself to the fore. Find out which idea or path would help you to survive. Proceed on your quest for total internal freedom relentlessly.

XII THE HANGED MAN

• We bide our time and wait no longer. The time to act, move, stretch, push beyond the limits has arrived.

• We take what we have unearthed in ourselves, in our lives, and we put it to use

• Things have come full circle, but it’s as if we have stepped through a wormhole and arrived in a different dimension, a new reality, that on the surface may look similar to where we were … but scratch the surface and everything, including ourselves, is radically changed

• Acquiesce to rebellion … surrender to freedom … release to the rebirth ...
