Mer­cury is mak­ing a move tonight as
well, but this change is not all that it would seem. Mer­cury is mov­ing from
Scor­pio to Sagit­tar­ius, that is true, but he is head­ing towards his next
ret­ro­grade peri­od start­ing on Novem­ber 6 and he will return to Scor­pio on
Novem­ber 14, then turn direct on Novem­ber 26 and so final­ly re-enter
Sagit­tar­ius on Decem­ber 10…whew! That is quite a cir­cuitous jour­ney for your
men­tal life to be taking!

But tonight and till Novem­ber 14 your
mind needs to stretch towards encom­pass­ing what you just expe­ri­enced in Scorpio’s
watery realms. Those deep dives elicit­ed strong feel­ings and emo­tions as you
encoun­tered the great­est mys­ter­ies of “I and Thou”, of the sacrifice
and promise of your Trans­for­ma­tion­al Unions…but now, now you need to
understand…what does it mean?

The recent jour­neys through the
mys­te­ri­ous depths of Scor­pio have brought you to deep­er intuitional
under­stand­ings, you crossed bound­aries and drew clos­er, you moved into that
space of “We”…and you changed one anoth­er. But now you need to take
that won­drous feel­ing and bring it to a more con­scious experience…you need to
place your expe­ri­ences into a wider con­text of meaning…How?

Sagit­tar­ius rules the gift of your
fore­bears, the teach­ings passed down from time immemo­r­i­al, it is the perennial
gift, the “Well of Wis­dom”, which you now draw upon. Whether singly
or in com­bi­na­tion, you should explore the halls of Reli­gion, Phi­los­o­phy and Science,
for what they offer will help you to pierce through the swirling mists by
pro­vid­ing per­spec­tive align­ment, and you will be able to espy the Truth of what
was felt…and so explain your sto­ry to yourself…

Yet equal to this is the “oth­er
half”, that your expe­ri­ence, your sto­ry is part of the Greater Sto­ry too…You
will not only dip into the Well of Wis­dom but you add to it too! Your
expe­ri­ence becomes part of the ever-expand­ing, cease­less­ly grow­ing body of
truth that moves us all clos­er to the Truth…for this is how it has always
been, you find your path to under­stand­ing by explor­ing and sharing…together.

Mer­cury ris­es out of the Waters and into
the Fires of Sagittarius…

You seek the path of Truth, the royal
road of Understanding…

Seek the Truth…Live in Truth!

Love­ly Aphrodite returns to her home sign of Libra for the next three
weeks…your sen­si­bil­i­ties about aes­thet­ics and rela­tion­ships re-attune to the
over-arch­ing need to cre­ate, main­tain and extend the bless­ings of harmony,
beau­ty and bal­ance in and through your world.

The time for analy­sis and cri­tique has passed, now is the time to seek for
Beau­ty and Consensus…to cel­e­brate the won­ders of Art and Nature and share
with one anoth­er the car­ing bestowed by your Social Sen­si­bil­i­ties, for they
serve as the bridge for how you lov­ing­ly join with one another.

Beau­ty in form and func­tion, in things and ideas…or found in one anoth­er will
stir your soul and quick­en your heart. But above all, to share in these
beau­ties with one anoth­er, to seek, find and share in the beau­ty with and of
one anoth­er, this above all will Venus bring to you now…

Venus dances into Libra…she asks you to remem­ber, always remem­ber the one
per­fect principle…

That you Love, just joy­ful­ly and pure­ly love this life, and that you simply…

Love one another!

Well what a whirl­wind of change is going
on today! 

Mars lines up with Jupiter, Venus
returns to Libra and Mer­cury makes a for­ay into Sagittarius…you are
def­i­nite­ly going to be feel­ing a change in the Winds of Spir­it today!

Mars is dri­ving you for­ward with
unbound­ed ide­al­ism as he aims for your one true way in Sagit­tar­ius. When you
have Truth on your side, well there is just no restrain­ing how far you might
reach…or over-reach!

Today you get a reminder that you need
to con­sid­er this: that your heart’s desire needs to be ever guid­ed by a more
nuanced understanding…and that you will find that as you walk the path of
truth you will see that your real growth of under­stand­ing is mea­sured and balanced
by the depth of your humil­i­ty too…

Jupiter in Gem­i­ni is offer­ing this
help­ful per­spec­tive, hold­ing forth that life is about con­trari­ness, diversity
and hon­or­ing mul­ti­ple points of view and sen­si­bil­i­ty. If you do not heed this
warn­ing, your enthu­si­asms for what is “right” (for you) can turn out
to be ter­ri­bly wrong for the many, and so in your pur­suit of what you believe
is truth you will impose upon oth­ers a greater untruth…by deny­ing to them a
space of belief and action as well.

The ques­tion posed now: are you acting
(Mars) right­eous­ly or self-right­eous­ly? The dif­fer­ence is to be found in your
moti­va­tion and intent. If you wish to fol­low the path of right­eous­ness, your
actions (Mars) must be guid­ed by prin­ci­ples (Jupiter) that are informed by your
high­er, intu­itive and ever more inclu­sive con­scious­ness. For it is by such
guid­ance, that comes from your high­er self, that calm steady voice from deep
with­in, that you will under­stand that the path­way to truth is found­ed upon
con­stant ques­tion­ing, com­par­i­son, con­trast, col­lab­o­ra­tion and inte­gra­tion. Instead,
that when you pur­sue a path of action that is based upon self-defensive
cer­ti­tudes and a closed mind…it will end poor­ly for you and others…

Mars in the pur­suit of the Truth may
push you into cer­tain­ties while blaz­ing his trail through Sagittarius…and
won­der­ful­ly now, and how appro­pri­ate too, that the nec­es­sary coun­ter­point is
deliv­ered by the very ruler of Sagit­tar­ius. Jupiter in Gem­i­ni shows Mars that
by shin­ing such a focused bright light upon what­ev­er may be the issue, you will
inevitably cre­ate and cast a very deep shad­ow too…and you can­not know or
under­stand what you can­not “see”.

Jupiter in Gem­i­ni reminds Mars that the
path­way to truth is often cir­cuitous. The way to reduce these self-cast shadows
that cre­ate your bound­ed beliefs, (to move beyond these half-truths that lead to
doubt, fear, pain and suf­fer­ing), is to shine many
lights, embrace many dif­fer­ent per­spec­tives or points of view as you share,
com­pare, con­trast and learn from one another…

Jupiter is help­ing Mars to open your
search for Truth…

For you may only approach the tem­ple of
Greater Under­stand­ing with Humility…

To remem­ber, that your Search for Mean­ing is an ever spiraling,
upward reach­ing towards the Light that can only be perceived…

By Shar­ing and Learn­ing and Being with and for
one another.

It is time…oh yes it is…it is time
for your next “Real­i­ty Check”…

Your won­drous, whirling dance around the
wheel of life comes back to yet anoth­er Incep­tion Point…That’s right, your cycle
of Self-unfold­ing, of you mov­ing In, Out and Through the won­ders of this world begins again
today.

The Sun is your pure Poten­tial waiting
to take on count­less forms of self-real­iza­tion; Sat­urn is what you have formed
and shaped your­self into, it is your Real­i­ty. Togeth­er the Sun and Sat­urn give
Life and Form to your spi­ral dance of Spir­it in the mate­r­i­al world.

The present real­i­ty-form you have made
for your­self is the ful­fill­ment of your need to become, to bring your potential
into the real world around you…but para­dox­i­cal­ly, that very form must and
will always lim­it you as well. 

Most espe­cial­ly over time, as you seek to unfold
more of your poten­tials, and the world around you changes too, that very form
you made for your self-real­iza­tion will often become the very denial of your
greater cre­ation and self-realization…it is what brought you to
“here”, but it can­not take you “there”!

Four times a year, the Sun aligns with
Sat­urn so that you can see how you are doing in draw­ing down and bring­ing forth
your dreams, ideas and pas­sions as you make them part of the fab­ric of your life. 

But of all these moments the most impor­tant turn­ing is this one, because this
align­ment is like a New Year or New Moon. It is like a beau­ti­ful dawn for your ever
unfold­ing promise, a gift of the Spir­it, a reminder that it is you, yes you who is the
cre­ator, you who bring your dreams into the real.

Today a cycle of self-real­iza­tion closes,
you are fin­ished with that form. You have
learned much from what was made of the last cycle, and its gift to you now is
this har­vest of mean­ing and under­stand­ing that you can draw upon now…for you
have grown…

Today a New release of self-real­iza­tion begins to unfold, as you con­tin­ue your jour­ney of Spir­it in this mate­r­i­al world. Now you must turn and face this won­der­ful and awe­some Responsibility,
and be thank­ful for this Gift of a New Beginning. 

Your life is an unfold­ing, spi­ral jour­ney of Spirit
mov­ing in and out, from form to form, through Ages and Sacred Spaces.…

You are Spir­it and you are Mat­ter, and
your jour­ney will reveal much to you…and so you even­tu­al­ly will see…

That all of these Ener­gies and Forms,
All of this from you, of you and by you is part of the Greater Creation…

For you are one of the many, one of the ones of the
One.…

Who are here to take Dreams…and make them Real.

So, it all comes down to this…and you
have to ask yourself…am I ready, have I pre­pared myself for this, do I
under­stand the risks…and the rewards? 

For there is noth­ing (No Thing), that is
greater than this, no sweet­er trea­sure to be had…but the price and pain of
failure…well, that too must be weighed and con­sid­ered before you approach
this awe­some portal.

You have passed through Sev­en Gateways,
you have walked through Sev­en Realms of Life. You have grown stronger and wiser
as you draw ever clos­er to the truth…and now you face the mys­tery and wonder
of mov­ing beyond the Great illu­sion, which always holds you in its thrall. For
you are bound and blind­ed by your mor­tal frame and your seem­ing sep­a­ra­tion from
the Greater Real­i­ty, the pre­sid­ing pres­ence that is all around and streams through
you too.

You have reached the cross­ing between “I
and Thou”, and your jour­ney’s oth­er half is now reflect­ed in your
beloved’s eyes…Now you feel the Waters stir­ring, from deep with­in your soul.
You feel the long­ing, to step beyond the yawn­ing gulf, between your­self and
what­ev­er lies beyond. You need to find your way to the deep­er places that hold
the promise of your for­ev­er more…to touch that immor­tal path­way, of lives you
lived and to be lived…yes, you can see them sparkle, like jew­els twinkling
all along that resplen­dent, mar­velous gold­en chord…

Yes you have come this far, but it is
not enough, not near­ly enough, because you seek for noth­ing less than communion
with one another…you seek for Union with the beloved and with your own true
Self too. 

But to pass this por­tal you must be
will­ing to go deep­er, beyond the shad­ows and fears that bar the way and hold
you apart from one anoth­er still. You seek for the Joy of Union, the Lamplight
of Under­stand­ing and the way beyond the Here and Now, to your noble-path of
Self-Transcending…but you hold back with doubt, born and borne by the darkness
of those rejec­tions of many, many past yesterdays…

But you need only remem­ber this, that
you are Spir­it and in your heart of hearts a Holy Fire Burns…Courage is your Nat­ur­al
Nature. For you have come this way before as you danced your dance
celestial…yes, through many chal­lenges met and mas­tered, your ever-unfold­ing journey
has spanned the ages as you crossed the spaces of Space and beyond. 

You feel this Truth now, this passionate
desire once again, urg­ing you for­ward and there is no doubt that there can be
noth­ing more joy­ous than what you seek here…to become One with one anoth­er. You
will reach that dis­tant shore, to reach beyond and pierce those loom­ing fears,
those self-cast shad­ows that hold you here…

You should know that there is noth­ing to
them, noth­ing for you to fear…they have no real pow­er, or hold to hold you
back…They are but a dis­tant echo from your past, reach­ing for­ward to meet you
here and now. They only have this pow­er to delay your jour­ney if you for­get who
you real­ly are. 

But you do remem­ber, for you were made
for this, you belong with one anoth­er and you will make man­i­fest your Spiritual
strength…You wield it now through Faith and Will, by the sac­ri­fice and effort
you make to cre­ate your Sacred Space of We…

For it is by your open­ness and
vul­ner­a­bil­i­ty that you reveal your spir­i­tu­al strength of Courage and Love, and so you blow
those clouds of fear away…and then, well then it is up to the oth­er who
stands before you, it is up to them to take a chance with you…

And if you do, if
you do move beyond the shad­ows and make that space together…what a wonder
will be revealed…For before each will stand the oth­er, who now tru­ly shines with the Love that they were always
meant to be…

It is time to enter your Sacred Spaces…

It is time to Join
with One Another…

It is time to move
through this Eighth Por­tal in your Journey…

The Veil, parting
as the shad­ows fly away…

There stands
revealed the won­drous Glory…

Love, true Love has
won again the Day.
