Hi All,

The artist this week is Dora Abodi @aboditransylvania a designer and artist from Transylvania. Even though she is best known in the fashion world, she and her team are creating an ever-evolving art project around mythical creatures and the mystique of Transylvania.

Your pondering: What would your ideal Halloween costume be?

Solar System highlight for the next two weeks

A full moon in Taurus on October 26^th, asking what do you physically need to release? Mercury is retrograde in Scorpio until November 13. A time to recharge, reflect and re-do.  This is a time to delve in and communicate your passions, though watch being all mouth and no ears.

Cancerian

The Nymphs– The Nymphs are the guardians of nature and its vitality.  They are your allies during this spooky season.  The Nymphs are having you connect with nature so it may revitalize your spirit.  Breath in fresh air, smell the flora, watch for your kindred animals, let the birdsong fill your heart.  They also ask as you reconnect to the natural world, remember that you are part of it, exchanging energy and life.

 

Leo 

Brunhild – Your last two weeks of shadow-work is around anger.  Brunhild reminds you that your anger comes from the flame of injustice, and that energy is valid and honorable.  She encourages you to work with anger but not succumb to it.  She inquires, how can you bring that energy into the world in a cathartic and healing way? And then work with that knowledge to turn the flame from injustice to justice.

 

Virgo 

The Sylphs – The Sylphs are creatures that inhabit the winds and they have come to help with your shadow-work.  Just as they effortlessly move through the currents of air, they encourage you to embrace change and let go of your rigidity.

Libra  

Shinigami – Your shadow work for the last two weeks of spooky season is around endings.  So, the Shinigami have come to guide you through the introspection of impermanence and the transformative power of endings.  They do not always foretell an ending; it is more about you needing to work on not holding so tightly.  By releasing some control, you allow for transformation that you have not imagined and a lifting of all the responsibility being on your shoulders.

 

Scorpio

Red Riding Hood – Your shadow work for this spooky season is around healthy skepticism.  Ms. Hood would like you to work on the balance between vulnerability and self-protection. She asks; how can you balance open-heartedness, trust and vigilance?  She recommends diving into the past and seeing how trust was broken.  And then how would you deal with that situation now?  Have you grown or are you stuck in a past trauma loop?

 

Sagittarius

Marguerite Porete – Ms. Porete is your guide for your shadow-work around sacred dissent.  She would like you to call forth your courageous energy of traveling beyond the confines of traditional dogma and doctrine. Yes it is time to reconnect with your activist, rebel-rouser, revolutionary self, so you can once again explore the realms of liberation and advocate for a new world.

 

Capricorn

Bridget Bishop – As you continue your shadow-work, your new companion is Ms. Bishop.  Your work is around reclaiming individuality.  Embrace your quirks, your eccentricities. Know that your authentic self is an incredible source of magnetism and power.  Let your freak flag fly.

 

Aquarius 

The Fates – Your shadow work is around the balance of decision making and releasing things beyond your control. The Fates are asking you to embrace your role in shaping your destiny by making conscious choices that align with your higher self.  While at the same time practicing serenity in the uncontrollable and unknown.   They remind; this is how you can navigate the tapestry of life with grace and wisdom.

 

Pisces

Nefertiti – Nefertiti is here to reconnect you to your deep well of strength and wisdom.  Your shadow work is balancing your intuition, sensitivity, compassion and nurturing nature with your assertive, independent and determined self. She reminds; you do not have to tone down one side to act on the other.  This shadow-work is about integrating your qualities and utilizing all your facets of power.
