"Stir it Up and Pour it Out"

By Dipali Desai

November begins with the themes of transformation, investigation and intense creative focus (Sun moving through Scorpio). You think you are in control of the outer world or at least attempt your best at doing so – yet it remains out of your reach. If we are finding repeated patterns or issues arising, seek to go inside of yourself and investigate the core of the issue. Transformation happens inside to outside. The Trio Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune moving through the air element (representing social, ideas and objectivity) sign of Aquarius are now all fully expressive once again (in forward or direct motion). The theme of healing, community, expansion of like vision circles forming becomes ignited once again. Create bridges which heal and bring together the ancient and futuristic. The challenge will be to let go of old limiting and false beliefs about reality and explore new vistas. We may begin to see big or noticeable carcinogenicities manifesting effortlessly in our lives without forcing the connect the dots (which the analytical mind and ego tends to do). When the Cosmos has a hand in a genuine synchronicity – you just know it. You don't have to analyze it, label it compartmentalize it to make sense of it. It is a full blown knowingness through your wisdom.

Saturn square Pluto is now fully active and underway. There may be a personal or collective resistance as this first square aspect (tense friction for growth) comes to its peak by November 15th or so. Cardinal signs in early degrees ( 0 – 5) Libra, Aries, Cancer and Capricorn are being actively prompted to engage in the dynamic transformation taking place – from the inside out. New gateways in Consciousness become more accessible through the high and intense pressure for change continues. Saturn square Pluto continues into 2010 so get comfortable and notice the issue, themes and situations that are coming up.

Mars in Leo is actively moving closer towards its retrograde phase which begins in middle of December 2009. Start to work with the themes of Mars in Leo now, or at least take notice of the themes that are presenting themselves because they will be in the forefront again really soon. The signs of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus and Scorpio will be the first line to be activated and then the other astrological signs in other ways. If you have not already, consider getting a short consultation on the upcoming Mars Retrograde in Leo and how or what area of life it will influence as well as how you can consciously work with the cycle of development. Is it time to invest, expand and act? Or is it a time to revise, review and research? Will an old flame resurface? How will it influence a brand new business venture being revealed during the time of Retrograde phase. These questions and more...can be addressed in a personalized Astrological Consultation regarding Mars Retrograde.

Week of: November 3rd to 7th

11/4 Neptune in Aquarius at 23 degrees is now in Direct or forward motion. Next round of evolution, compassion and inspiration. Realizing that we are spiritual beings having a human experience than the other way around. Open and listen to the heart's wisdom. As you have compassion for yourself, it spreads to all others. Our attention shifts to the Oneness or the Universal Web of Life that we are all interconnected – what effects or hurts the one, hurts the many. Neptune reminds you to dissolve illusions and delusions you are holding onto so you may perceive with clarity and realistically.

11/5 Sun/Mercury in Scorpio symbolism suggests a good day to speak in an authentic and empowering way. Rather than base things on assumptions, investigate the Truth and speak from experience. Watch fixations, obsessive thoughts and negative mental attitudes. You can shed light and transform this if you choose to shift your perception. Clarity emerges.

Week of: November 8 th to 14th

11/7 Venus enters Scorpio. The way in which we relate to self and others becomes intense, emotional and passionate. We are in the mood of “all or nothing.” Venus in Scorpio at its highest potential ensures we remain empowered in each encounter with self, others and in life. You may be feeling the urge to merge with a loved one yet intimacy is more than physical sexual act. It can be spiritual, mental, emotional or energetic experience. Watch for extremes in relating; obsession, controlling, invading boundaries, revenge, jealousy and bitterness. Energies and patterns may be transformed if you face the truth and allow healing to happen.

11/8 Mercury/Jupiter symbolize mental tension, blown out of proportion thinking or communications. Slow down and review then speak in an authentic way. Scattering of mental energy is possible, it will be helpful to regroup before you disperse any.................[read entire article]

"What astrological transits are affecting my ability to feel.."

http://sitara.gaia.com — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 22:00:15 GMT

From the ~ Ask Dipali~ section of my Celestial Space Astrology Blog

>>Question:

Hello Dipali,
What astrological transits are affecting my ability to feel confident and decisive and how can I empower myself to move forward during an emotionally difficult time in my life? Also, when will these difficult influences end?? ~ JLO

Response from Dipali:

Hi J,
Thank you for writing in. Your questions are wonderful and provide the space for me to share guidance.

YES, these cycles of development and change may feel challenging and exhausting. Accept that this is ok and give yourself time to rest amongst all of it. Be like a surfer riding rough waves yet they find the bits of joy and excitement in the challenge. Yet the truth is; that all that has happened and is happening is for your evolution as a Soul. If you have made prayers in the past to help you grow, evolve, let go, heal, change something – they are being answered. This is an amazing time of letting go of an old aspect of you and a new sense of self ready to birth and emerge – in a big way. From my perspective, in one sense it is a time of Celebration and renewal for you. You are almost ready to enter a new stage in life. An artist sitting in front of a blank canvas awaiting higher inspiration to flow into offer vision. Yet, I feel you are being SO supported by life and the Universe as you walk through all of this. Trust yourself, Trust in the Universe/God/All that Is.

You have a very resourceful and resilient side to your personality (a survivor type of personality this can help you transform any situation) and this can help you tremendously to walk through the fires of transformation. The ego/personality is feeling a bit under fire (of transmutation) and so it is squirming. Trust is a big factor here. If you drop the resistance and realize you .............[read entire reply here]

7 Ways to Transform the Mood

http://sitara.gaia.com — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 16:40:33 GMT

By Dipali Desai

We can wish for a stream of perfect days where there is a golden rosy glow, everything goes our way, we get a promotion, our partner brings us a gift of love and we are riding high on bliss. As reality sets in, some days or weeks are just plain rough. You may feel as if life gave you a totally off the wall mixture of bitter apple, with tart lemon and a kick of jalapeno hot pepper mixture. In reality that wouldn’t happen, but it is a great metaphor of how it may look or feel. As if that isn’t enough to make you ........ [read entire article]
