We enter the month of November soaked in the otherworldly residue of Samhain (Oct 31st)... a time when the veil between the Earth realm and Spirit realm is thin.  Themes of death, transformation, and cyclical healing swirl all around us.  The new moon in Scorpio on Nov 1st also invites us into the watery depths of our sacred shadows, offering the opportunity to become more intimate with our lineage, our emotions, and the aspects deep within us that we keep hidden from others.  

According to the Chinese 5 Element Theory, we officially step into the slow & contemplative season of Winter this month - the nurturing energies of Earth are starting to invite us into a state of replenishment, reflection, & receptivity.  How can we more gracefully receive both our blessings and our challenges?

On Nov 15th, a full moon in Taurus beckons us into our five senses - how are grounding into our body to evoke rejuvenation as we move into hibernation?  The months ends with a New Moon in Sagittarius on November 30th, providing an opportunity to set fire to a new internal cycle.  Which direction are we pointing the arrow of our deepest desires?  Are we setting aim from a place of familial & societal conditioning or a stabel ground of true authenticity?
