BIG RED FLASHING LIGHT - Mercury stations to retrograde 1st November in 14.4 - direct again 21st in 44.5 and clear of the shadow and into new territory from 7th December.
1st November ... 14 line four "Do not indulge in looking at those around you and trying to match them tit for tat. You elevate yourself by disengaging and holding firmly to what is quiet and correct and good." BBW
A brief note on 54 from last month's transits ... it seems we are not yet done working with this upgrading energy; a quick look ahead at next year's ephemeris shows me Jupiter is there in February and March, but Pluto has indeed 'left the building' ... but we do have Saturn there this month before heading off to meet up with Pluto in 61 late December.
Obviously every solar year the Sun passes through this gate for several days, as does the Earth of course, and the moon does so on a monthly basis, but Jupiter's presence there early in the new year marks the end of an extended period of years when the outer planets have spent considerable amounts of time bringing their various energies to this hexagram, the Marrying Maiden.
The nodes shift position on the 12th; the north moving to 52 (Mountain) and the south to 58 (Joy) - these are an interesting pairing of energies, especially when considered in these positions. The north is where we are heading, the cutting edge, moving ahead, often uncomfortable, the south is the comfort zone of the known from where we move forward. I can't honestly say I'm moving from Joy I have to say, although I can see how I have perhaps set the scene for working from a base of like-minded friendships in recent months. A deeper look at 58, which in trigrams is lake over lake, offers a symbol of partnership ... water is also very much associated with emotional flow of course.
It seems as if the north node moving through 52 is indicating a time of needing to remain firm and grounded in our beliefs and causes, progress will perhaps be represented by not losing ground rather than making leaps forward, by deepening our understandings rather than expanding them. This energy reminds me of the rune Uruz, the moment of pause where you are standing within your boundaries and power, ready, but not yet moving forward. The nodes will be in these positions until the third week of March so a long stint of holding a position of calmness rooted in correct partnerships I would say. Interesting because through this period we will have the Saturn/Pluto conjunction and the next season of eclipses.
The image I'm being given is being held in place whilst the dross is burned away ... interesting as we'll have the sun in 55 in late February which brings the life theme of the sleeping phoenix ... I'm getting all kinds of connections today, there must be something lurking in gate 44!
MOONS
Full on 12th (with node shifts) at 13:37 GMT in 23.2 "Tolerating: Naturally relating to circumstances from a personal resolve ... for the moon ... Being argumentative can become a way of life but ultimately will not serve you." Chetan
New on 26th 15:08 GMT in 34.5 "One who gives up a stubborn and harsh way of acting will not regret it. No harm comes if you soften now." BBW - This looks like a big day with several channels active including the 'infamous' 10-20 verbal gunslinger ... be aware!
Interesting aside ... both the new and full moons for November coincide with the Sun and Earth being in oppositions that are also Human Design channels; of the 36 there are only 3 like this.
31st October - 5th November - Sun 44, Earth 24, Mercury Retrograde 14 (see above), Venus 34, Mars 57, Jupiter 11, Saturn 54
Samhain, Bonfire Night and a Mercury retrograde. The Sun is holding the energy of 44 'coming to meet' its all about pattern recognition, seeing who is before you. The Earth is grounding us all with a rationalising theme - this week is all about closely observing and keeping ones powder dry!
6th - 11th - Sun in 1, Earth in 2, Merc 14, Venus 9, Mars 32, Jupiter 11, Saturn 54
Now we have the Sun in the most yang position, 1, the creative, capturing the flow of life. The Earth is receptive in 2 the most yin position. This feels like a good week for steadily working through any work or relationship issues, there's plenty of energy for new ways of seeing things.
7th Sun in 1.2 "Being in Accord: Aligning with universal truths. Creativity is a natural expression always subject to, and altered by, your personal agendas." Chetan
12th - 16th - Sun in 43, Earth in 23, Mercury in 1, Venus in 5, Mars 32/50, Jupiter 11 at GC 16th, Saturn 54 - Full Moon week (see above).
The first of the two Sun-Earth channel combinations. Here we have the affectionately known 'freak to genius'! It's an individual energy bringing inspiration and insight, it can be expressed clearly, or not, depends on the receptivity of the audience, hence, 'freak' or 'genius'. Look out for off the wall solutions, don't dismiss them out of hand. Jupiter hits the Galactic Centre at 11.5 at the end of this week, a draw for universal harmony and peace.
17th - 22nd - Sun in 14, Earth in 8, Mercury 44 direct 21st, Venus 26/11, Mars 50, Jupiter 11, Saturn 54
A pause week between the two Sun-Earth channel weeks ... here we have the Earth holding us in Union whilst the Sun is capturing the energy of the great harvest. Mercury will be turning direct again, in the pattern recognition gate, Jupiter is still over and near the GC. Mars will be holding everyone to account in the truth, justice and values department and relationships may not be what they seem ... Mercury and Venus will give the 44-26 channel, all about selling in many ways, be aware what may, or may not, be really on offer, alliances could be misleading, stay firmly with the Mars influence to see through any deception or slights of hand.
Mars position on 19th - "Qualifying: Presence is needed in upholding right values in sorry circumstances. In all situations, values need to correspond to the real requirements of the present moment." Chetan
23rd - 27th - Sun in 34, Earth in 20, Mercury 1, Venus 10, Mars 28 and Jupiter shifts to 10, Saturn in 54. New Moon week (see above)
The second week of special channels ... this is the archetype of the Manifesting Generator in Human Design ... it's the buckle up and hold on for dear life energy! All MGs should run the idea through their mind's eye before roaring off ... that's good advice for everyone this week! We have a Jupiter shift on 25th moving his expansive energy to 10, all about self-love, self preservation, knowing where you are in relation to others. Venus is there too so we have them conjunct 24th/25th - this conjunction is associated with love, prosperity and peacefulness and it's occurring in a love gate 😍
10.1 "Ambition and restlessness lead to misfortune. A return to simplicity and humility makes progress possible now."
There is a lot of 10-20 energy this week, be very mindful about allowing your thoughts to be instantly voiced ... use that advice above, run it by yourself first, reread the message before hitting send!
I'll cover the 28th onward in December's transits.
And now for the Runes ... the half months for November are 28th October - 13th November - Hagalaz, this rune is all about the hail storm, the destructive forces required to create space for the new to be formed. 13th - 28th we have Nauthiz, this is about need and necessity and is often about accepting that something has already gone, or perhaps never existed as you thought, surveying the clearance wrought by Hagalaz.
Be back later in the month and Samhain blessings to you all, and a happy new year to all the witches out there ... we know who we are!
