There is a lot going on this month both in our mundane and astrological worlds. It’s the end of the year and more importantly the end of a first decade of the 21st century. The next year has so many cosmic alignments that point to big change and a new way of doing things and it seems that December brings the perfect balance of energies to prepare us for what’s to come.
The New Moon on October 27 and Mercury Retrograde on October 31 both in the sign of Scorpio, continues to affect us in November setting the tone for the contemplative winter season ahead. We’re encouraged to move away from our comfort zone and to welcome new ways to live, heal, and transform. It’s a time for taking a good look at what we may have chosen to sweep under the carpet. Mercury Retrograde is an excellent period for getting in touch with our instincts, motivations, and “dark” side. Retrograde Mercury periods tend to send us to the past for more or previously hidden information, and while in Scorpio, this is especially the case.
