Hi All,

The artist this week is Isobelle Ouzman who transmutes old books.  In her words, “I’m interested in how stories shape and connect us, and work to highlight the transformative potential of storytelling, in relation to our search for self and belonging, through art made within the pages of physical books. I often touch on themes of nature, escapism, and hope.”

Your pondering: What or where do you escape to?

Solar System highlight for the next two weeks

A new moon in Scorpio is a time to reconnect with our passion.  Mercury is still in retrograde also in Scorpio until November 13. A time to recharge, reflect and re-do.  Then Mercury turns direct until December 7^th. This is a period of delving into and communicate your passions, though watch – being all mouth and no ears.

EXTRA

*If you want a more in-depth look into the planets and tarot elements and how they affect you, you can get those with the yearly AstroTarot reading or if you sign up for your personalized monthly New Moon readings.  Scorpio this is a perfect time to get that Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year.  And Gemini, it is your halfway mark for your birth year, so if you need a Planetary Reading for a check-in, now is the time.

**** I have a tip jar if you want to leave a gratuity.

May light be on you, around you, and within you.

Aries

Queen of Coins – The muses would like you to spend these next weeks seeking where you are abundant.  You have worked hard to obtain and maintain your prosperity.  And the muses remind; abundance is not only on the material plane. Once you have figured out where your wealth lies, they advise now is the time to be down to earth to create calm and quiet in this Scorpio season.

 

Taurus

Three of Cups – The Muse of Friendship is your guide for the coming weeks. This muse heralds a time for common goals and connections.  She advises celebrating the friends in your life that lift you up and support you.  Time to call them up for a hang, filling their cup and yours.

 

Gemini

Empress – The Muse of Gaia shows up when you need to reconnect with nature and thus call in beauty and abundance in your life.  She recommends when you do commune with nature to give something in return for Gaia’s gift of nurturing and beauty. This muse reminds; that you are part of Gaia’s embrace, exchanging energy and life.

 

Cancerian

Chariot – The Muse of Willpower is in your sidecar these coming weeks.  She comes to help you align your decisions and goals with your beliefs and values. The clearer you are about how you want to travel; the clearer the path to travel becomes.

 

Leo 

Magician – The Muse of Manifestation is in your corner for the coming weeks.  She shows up when it is prime time to manifest something in your plane of existence.  This muse says that all your tools are on the table, and now you need to call down your divine power into the world.  The key to calling it in is that your goal needs to align with your gifts and tools.  You have the potential to be the lightening rod, but you need to be grounded in your vision and yourself.   Make the magic happen.

 

Virgo 

Three of Coins – The Muse of Collaboration is your companion for the coming weeks.  She usually comes when you need input from outside sources.  This is not the time to do it alone.  She recommends not only using those closes to you as resources but to also looking outside of the box for new perspectives and help.

 

Libra  

King of Swords – The Muse of Long-Term Planning is your guide for the coming weeks. She suggests planning out as far as 10 years from now and then working backwards to see if your short-term goals actually lead to your long-term ones.  If so, great!  After Mercury turns direct, December 7^th, start moving forward.  If not, use these coming weeks to realign.  And for either the challenge is leaving enough flexibility to take advantage of potentials you can’t foresee or control.

 

Scorpio

King of Wands – The Muses would like to remind you that you are more powerful than you think. You are a visionary, but you may have lost your gusto and/or confidence.  This is your birth month.  The Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus in December are all sending their power to you. Now is the time to celebrate your uniqueness and go after your dreams.  Use this new moon to ask for and begin even the tiniest step to a new quest for this coming birth-year.

 

Capricorn

Moon – The Muse of Emotions is your co-pilot for the coming weeks.  She reminds that the emotions we feel in the moment are often tied to past experiences.  That the subconscious can regurgitate old narratives that no longer align with the here and now.  She reminds not to negate how and what you are feeling now, but to see and release the ripples of the past. So, you can deal with the emotional situation in the present.

 

Aquarius 

The High Priestess – The Muse of Foresight comes when you need to reconnect with your intuition.  Intuition lies between the conscious and the subconscious and helps you see what is hidden or behind the scenes.  This muse reminds; your Spidey-sense is on target in the coming weeks.  So, pay attention to reoccurring symbols, numbers or tingly feelings; look around and see what is happening.  For often this muse speaks in allegory and metaphor.

Pisces

World – The Muse of Integration is your companion for the coming weeks.  She is inviting you to reflect on your journey so far. See your successes and celebrate them.  What insights have gotten in the past 8 months?  Take some time to integrate and process what has happened.  And if you have any loose-ends, now is the time to begin tying them up.  For you have around three months until your new birth year begins.
