ASTRO PACK RATS…. SCORPIO… 2009
It’s autumn in the Northern Hemisphere; a time to gather and harvest; a time to prepare for winter’s austerity and rest. I believe we are of the seasons, with our own Spring, Summer, Winter and Fall that live within us. In spring, you can feel the vitality of life rise within you as your yard greens and tulips greet the sun. Summer heats you up and Fall invites you to see what that heat/energy brought into fruition. Winter, asks that you relax, go into the silence, wait, and stay steady as you go. Get those projects done that need doing inside.
With that said:
What in your life last spring did you dream into being? What seeds did you plant in your life as that greening began? And now, with the spice of autumn ending the cycle of life to prepare for the next spring, what of those seeds that you sowed are ready for gathering? Was it work? Love? Was it a new idea? Maybe, it is a dream that sits on the edge of your desire waiting for your action. You do have the winter to cultivate it.
What ever it may be, the Pack Rat in us has desires that need sustaining. Right? When winter comes for us Northerners…Where are the garage sale? Do we rush off to Florida or the South West to sooth our need for sun and junking? I hit the local antique malls. Dealer to dealer sales seems to be what I do. How about you?
As always, the planets are busy. The new moon on the 18th of Oct. in Libra, invites you to consider nurturing what gives you pleasure. What beauty and balance might you design into your life’s pattern that expresses your best self?
Oh.. and please let us not forget, Halloween, All Saint’ Day, and The Day of the Dead. ooooooaaahhhaa. A time when the veil between the worlds is thin. When we can honor what and who has passed into the Great Beyond. What memories rise for you from those that have gone before you that are positive reinforcements for your life’s journey? What wisdom comes from what lies invisible to you yet lives in your heart?
To help you out… here is some Pack Rat-tish Astrology for your entertainment. And remember… all of you… this is your time of year… hoarding and collecting is necessary for winter survival. So… get out there and find your treasure and be assured that you are doing yourself a service. <wink>
Consider this…
SCORPIO… Passions rise. Maybe you’re feeling a little extra sexy. Maybe… a little too aggressive. It’s restless energy that needs direction.. Be mindful of your impact. Contain that aggression. Use it for exercise or a day trip to an auction. The beginning of the second week in November, might really stir you up. Be mindful of what you say and how you say it. Not much of a casual nature rolls off your tongue. Give pause before you speak; the results of that achievement will serve you way better than impulse and the desire to have what you want right Now. Play nice.
SAGITTARIUS… Feeling like there is something bigger than yourself that needs attending to?? See where that awareness takes you Sag. It may be big and yet the wisdom behind taking small steps to get to where you want and imagine yourself to be has great benefit. What does your wisdom tell you? Uniquely, moody times require a uniquely great mind with a big heart. Think big, take baby steps.
CAPRICORN… A lot of airy and watery elements are interested in asking you to lighten up. A dash of fire and welll…. Go with the flow… blah blah blah… Don’t they know they need to stay grounded to get anything done??? geezz.
You know and therefore you and your fellow/lady Earth signs must hold the space for stability and getting things done in an orderly fashion. The full moon on the 2cd of Nov. in earthy Taurus does invite you to enjoy your senses and sensuality in a grounded calm way. Consider giving yourself to that energy right after a spooky, Scorpion-ic Halloween.
AQUARIUS…Aquarius has dawned and in full motion. Jupiter, the planet of expansion, optimism and good fortune shines through the eyes of Aquarius. Neptune, the planet of illusion, mystery, deception and spiritual growth, sits very close to Jupiter. Neptune energy is no stranger to you. Be aware of how big you make your Neptunian experience. Let the fortune of Jupiter expand your spirited and spiritual journey rather than illusion and deceptions. This isn’t all about you. How can you make a difference in your world? Give yourself a break… Find a mysterious treasure and expand your knowledge of it.
PISCES… Facing off with what has held you feeling responsible for the effect of global issues, is shifting. What have you learned in the last few months that you can take positive action on? Consider how it gives you joy. You can move on behalf of what inspires you to care so much for your community and the world. It is a time of harvest. Not just the land you live on; the inner landscape of you heart.
Feel the Full Moon on the 2cd. What message does it bring to you?
ARIES… So much talk about feelings. Whew. Let yourself enjoy it. Beauty and love has been right in front of you. Did you notice? Harvest your feelings of love and wonder and direct them back out into the world and to someone you feel special about. Speak of it. Know the passion of it. Be mindful of becoming overwhelmed or overwhelming. Take a breath. aaah.. that’s better. You have as much time as you need Aries. What magical thing did you find lately?
TAURUS… What have you been holding on to that requires you to let go of? Oh stubborn one… notice the flow around you and consider that it might work for you better going with it. “Resistance is futile.”
Be open to conversation. It all has to get discussed. Really.. it does. Let your time of harvest be in sharing the joy of a life well lived and a life that knows the pleasures of living it.
GEMINI… There maybe a new pull to how you experience your sense of responsibility and what/whom you profess to be in the world/community rising up for you. Take notice of it. It will rise slowly and tap you on the shoulder for attention. It will remind you of what you have been noticing in the global community and how that larger family impacts your immediate community. Harvest the information that you have gathered in the last months and see what part of it invites you to take action on it. This is a time of expansion of new ideals and ways of communicating in the world and within your family. What worked is passing.
CANCER… Hold the fort. Keep the flow going. Check in with loved ones to remind them that it’s all going to be OK. From your vantage point at this time, it’s pretty busy out there; mysterious expansion, deep conversations, a knowing that the way the world has been going … change is a gonna come. You also know that nurturing your family, home and community is what is really important. So… in times of chaos, you already have the answer, secure the homestead, be loving and caring, support your family and friends. You can be the model of that security for those who are in your sphere of influence.
LEO… Lots of energy is pushing your edges . It’s a sharp edge. There are those that do not move with the fire that moves you. Patience… Breathe in patience. See if you can take that energy and direct it to a cause or charity that you keep talking about and have yet to take action on. Just do it. The world is expanding in a new way right before your eyes. It is a mystery. The truth of it is for you to find for yourself. To better understand that mystery, engage it. Get to know it. Take action on behalf of the flame within you that is burning.
VIRGO… Not that you are not ever vigilant Virgo, you are when you are tuned in to the world around you. The feeling of being responsible for everything is shifting. If you have been paying attention….You have learned a lot about what you profess to be. You have a new awareness of what works for your body.
You may even have had an ‘ah ha’ moment, that what you have learned can actually support and sustain your immediate environment; be that family, friends, work, your passion. There is no time like the present to feed your passion.
LIBRA… You’ve been busy; gathering and readying yourself for the winter, meeting up with friends, figuring out how you fit into the larger scheme of things. There is a part of you that wants to keep things on the surface, not to serious and yet, you get pulled in to some drama or another, one way or the other.
Hold your own. Saturn is entering your sign and will ask you to consider; how do you set your personal boundaries? Who do you profess to be? What’s love got to do with it? I ask you… How do you give form to the wind? Breathe into your body.
