Feng Shui Love – Full Moon in Taurus

These two things do go together, I promise.  I was going to write just on ways to decorate your feng shui love corner/section in your house or bedroom. And then I realized we have a full moon coming up on November 4 in the sign of Taurus.  The earth sign of Taurus is ruled by Venus, which is all about love and romance and luxury and money.   So now would be a good time to focus on your love corner/section of your house or bedroom.  Feng shui is an easy (and fun) way to usher in the energy you want to the areas of your life that you are looking to expand.

I have some rose quartz crystals (one in the shape of a heart), a garnet, a large red glass heart, and I always have a small vase with flowers there.  I’ll burn some incense there at times, too. November 4 would be an ideal time to do that.  This full moon is focused around value. What we value in a general sense in our lives. With our possessions or things, but also within our relationships. Not just with other people, but with ourselves.  And of course, relationships are highlighted because Venus is the ruler of Taurus (and Libra as well).

All full moons are about a culmination of a cycle.  So the ending of a cycle.  It’s a good time to release and to let go of things (people, ideas, habits) that are no longer serving you.  It’s also a good time to give thanks for all that you have.  Generally speaking, I think moon cycles are just a good time to focus on what that particular moon is trying to get us to pay attention to. In this case, value.  And the value we place on relationships, on the people we are in relationship with (any type of relationship), and with ourselves.

If nothing else, try to go outside and just whisper a few words of thanks.  Thank you for all that I have and all that is with me, and thank you for all the wonderful things that are on their way to me that I don’t even know about…

Samhain Altar

Halloween (Samhain, if you follow the Wheel of the Year) is approaching.  This day corresponds to The Day of the Dead and All Soul’s Day.  The veil between this world and the spirit world grows thinner and thinner as October 31 approaches.  Spirit phenomena is likely to be experienced the closer we get to the end of the month.  This doesn’t necessarily mean “seeing ghosts,” either.  Strange coincidences that may involve a friend of family member who has passed is a good example. You’re thinking about your friend who died in a car accident while driving, and their favorite flower was a daisy. And all of a sudden you realize the car in front of you has a license plate that says DAISY.

It’s also a nice time to set up a little altar for your loved ones and ancestors who have passed on.  Be creative, this is your altar, you can design it any way you want to.  I used some pine cones and leaves from outside (for a natural element). If I find any acorns, I’ll add those, too.  I’ll also add some crystals as we get closer to October 31.  A candle.  And the skull is a little box with a lid. I write down the names of friends and family who have passed that I want to remember and fold it and put it inside.  A lot of people will put up pictures of their loved ones.   And offer treats – a loved one’s favorite candy or cake, for example.

Light the candle on October 31 and welcome your departed in.  It’s not a scary time of the year, but a reverent one.  A time of remembrance.  And there is never an inappropriate time for gratitude or reverence.

Cosmic Correspondence – New Moon in Libra, Mercury in Scorpio, Venus in Libra

What an interesting mix of energy.  The charm and grace of Libra and the depth and intensity of Scorpio.   There’s a New Moon in Libra on October 19.  I like new moons – probably more than full moons, even if we can’t “see” them in the sky the same way. I like new beginnings. I like the fact that every month the universe gives us this opportunity to focus on some area of our lives and we get a chance to re-set.   With the new moon (new starts, beginnings, time to set an intention), in the partnership oriented sign of Libra, it’s a good time to focus on your relationships. Romantic relationships, but any kind of relationship.   It’s also a good time to start a new relationship.  This new moon opposes Uranus in Aries. So there’s this element of risk. Or something unpredictable. That’s not always a bad thing, so try to welcome anything that’s a little out of your comfort zone.

Mercury is going into Scorpio.  Jupiter went into Scorpio on October 10/11.  With Mercury here, we can expect conversations to turn deep. And possibly to things that are hidden. That could be communication coming out about yourself that was hidden, or other people.   It’s conversation we don’t normally hear about.  Deep, dark secrets, secret desires, hidden parts of ourselves.

Venus is in Libra and this is all about love.  And grace and beauty and fairness and balance. Venus rules Libra so she’s at home here.  And it really does suggest love and romance.  Especially on October 19, with the new moon in Libra.

New moons are a good time to start things as I mentioned above.  So if you’re hoping for a new relationship, put that wish and intention out there for the universe to bring somebody to you. If you’re already in a relationship but it needs a refresh, October 19 is a good time to take steps to bring in that new energy.  It’s an ideal time for love and romance and balance.

Jupiter in Scorpio – Expanding the Intensity

From October 10, 2017 until about November 8, 2018, Jupiter will be transiting the intense water sign of Scorpio.  Jupiter just left Libra where we learned balance and fairness and now delves into the depths as he begins his 13 month trip through Scorpio.

Scorpio is ruled by Pluto – so it’s all about death and rebirth. The phoenix rising from the ashes.  And Scorpio is intense. There’s no way around it.  If you are a Scorpio sun, moon or rising, this will be an expansive 13 months ahead for you.  Likewise, if you have a lot of Scorpio in your chart or a lot of water in your chart, this can be beneficial.

Jupiter is the opposite of Saturn.  Jupiter is about gifts, growth, expansion, good fortune and good luck.  The “Santa Claus” of the planets.  So when he’s transiting your sign, you can expect good fortune. I sometimes refer to this transit as a “13 month cosmic goodie bag.”

But all of us are going to be experiencing this in some way. Scorpio is about all things dark and mysterious, the occult, sex, shadow. Scorpio is magnetic and powerful and driven and intense. We may see a spotlight shown on these areas in a global (collective consciousness) way. As well as in our own personal lives.

I have Scorpio as my ascendant, so I’m looking forward to this transit.  It promises to be deep and delicious.
