PLANETS VISIBLE IN THE MORNING SKY:
Venus, Mars, and Saturn
PLANETS VISIBLE IN THE EVENING SKY:
Mercury from the 22nd and Jupiter.
Full Moon in Taurus -- Nov. 2nd at 10 degrees!! Full Moons are a time of releasing. Releasing the old patterns. Taurus when associated with the Moon brings in the intuitive qualities of nature, along with natural healing. It brings in the beauty of Mother Earth. Taurus, ruled by Venus also brings in beauty, creativity, Love and the feminine energy. So with this Full Moon, enjoy and create beauty all round you. Celebrate Mother Earth. Pamper yourself in comfort and create beauty and love for yourself and those you are with. Let go of the “old” ways and celebrate the new ways of a Taurus Full Moon.
New Moon in Scorpio – Nov. 16 at 24degrees. New Moons are powerful times to manifest and create your own reality. A Scorpio New Moon is a very intuitive, spiritual, psychic moon, that is has both feminine/male energy (the Moon itself and in water: feminine – Scorpio ruled by mars: Male). This is a time to connect with God/Goddess in all the spiritual/psychic ways that resonate with you. This is a transformative New Moon, so let everything come to you from the closet of your deep subconscious. Then work at transforming it. We also have the perfect energy to manifest the blending of the male/female energy. This is a powerful, transformative, emotional New Moon. Create something beautiful for yourself and the World.
This Months Planets:
Mercury – which represents our voice, communication, talking and writing etc., is in Scorpio. Our voice will have a little more passion to it now, some intensity, and especially be aware of what you might say, as things can actually come out with a sting, when Mercury is in Scorpio! On the 16th Mercury moves into Sagittarius where our “voice” will be more about higher religions, philosophies and either studying or talking “wisdoms”. A great time to gather all the knowledge you can find. In areas that you are drawn to, and then sharing them.
Venus– is in Libra, till Nov 8th... Venus rules Libra, so this is a time that is all about love!!! Balance!! And Equal Give and take! On Nov. 8th Venus moves into Scorpio! Wow, passion and intensity in all forms of Love and Creativity. This is a powerful Venus. There will be a lot of magnetism running strongly while Venus is in Scorpio. Enjoy the deep passionate, intense, magnetic Venus this month, but beware, as anything secretive in these areas most likely will be found out, as it is hard to hide anything when Scorpio is around.
Mars – is in Leo all month. So now we have the warrior, the initiator, in the sign of the king, the person that likes to be on the stage in the community, and loves romance and Play!! A time for the “Leaders” around to initiate things in the “kingdom,” that will lean towards fun, playfulness and social matters. Mars is very passionate about the crusades it initiates. Mars in Leo can have very positive and fun energy. This is a great placement for the up coming Holidays.
Jupiter is in Aquarius all month. Jupiter in Aquarius brings about a time of experimentation and taking chances and spiritual risks, while tapping into the big picture and thinking outside the box. Jupiter is optimistic and loves to quest for knowledge, loves to gather all kinds of higher knowledge and then share it with humanity (Aquarius). Jupiter is the jester and likes to have fun, and in Aquarius it likes to include everyone equally. Jupiter also likes to travel, especially if you quest for knowledge where ever you happen to land. This also is a good placement for the up coming Holidays.
Jupiter is also conjunct Chiron and Neptune, in Aquarius. This conjunction is a major one. On a universal level it represents the healing of the wound of humanity and the wound of the Earth. This wound has to do with higher “outside the box” spiritual knowledge that we can now talk about and use to the higher good. It is about unconditional love for all humanity and being able to take the spiritual risk necessary to do this. It is about Big Love!! Big expanded unconditional love for the Earth itself and all of humanity!!
Saturn – is in Libra all month. Saturn will be in Libra till April 6, 2010 when it dips into Virgo for about 3 months and then re-enters Libra on July 7, 2010 and stays there till October 5, 2012. There should be a little bit of uplift in the energy now that Saturn is in Libra. Libra is about love, creativity and relationships, especially equal give and take within relationships. Libra also is about the Social and Creative world. So Saturn being in Libra is more about equal give and take and loving energy (in all relationships, personnel and business, and also in the art of creativity), apposed to the Saturn in Virgo energy which was more analytical and with the tendency to beat yourself up for not being perfect enough. How will Saturn work in Libra? Well it will have to do with the court systems, and the equal give and take with in the case’s that are in court, especially ones about relationships both committed relationships, friendships and business, and also within creative projects. Saturn is about the rules and with Uranus opposing Saturn….it is also about changing some outdated rules that have to do with committed relationships, both business and in love and creativity, and having them be in equalness and come from heart and soul, as Pluto is also squaring the Saturn/Uranus opposition. With Saturn in Libra, God/Goddess is asking us to be in fairness and peace so we can all live in a more balanced Earth and live a more balanced life.
Uranus – is in Pisces and is retrograde all month. This is a time to be internalizing and thinking about all the areas of Uranus/Aquarius outside the box thinking, unconditional love for humanity, and higher knowledge. is on the table with Uranus in Pisces! Also with creative projects. Uranus is opposing Saturn, off and on all year, bringing about urges and energy to make changes in your inner structures and outer structures. Bucking the system (the old and outdated rules) when things need bucked (so we, and the Earth, can grow) is one of the jobs of Uranus. Also Uranus is squaring Pluto all month. Major transformation through sudden changes, thinking outside the box, and humanitarianism. Uranus is opposing Saturn off and on all year….wanting “change” in the old structures of self, others and the world.
Neptune –.is in Aquarius retrograde till Nov. 4th. When Neptune goes direct it is time to start bringing out all the things, ideas and thoughts you have been internalizing about higher spirituality, direct connection with Spirit, unconditional Love, and high creativity. It is time now to think outside the box with unconditional love for all humanity and the Earth, and then creatively bring it out into the open for all to experience.
Neptune is also conjunct Jupiter and Chiron all month. This is a long term aspect. Neptune in Aquarius again, brings the ability to think outside the box on the spiritual and creative levels to bring unconditional love to humanity and the planet. Chiron is now conjunct Neptune in Aquarius giving us the electrical energy to “heal” the Chiron wound that we each have and the world wound through thinking outside the box on a humanitarian spiritual level. Jupiter is also conjunct Neptune and Chiron. Bringing in the ability to take the spiritual risk we need to “heal” the wound.
Pluto – is in Capricorn. Now is the time to bring out all the transformative ideas for ourselves and that of the earth that we have been thinking about over the last several months. Pluto wants to transform all the Capricorn structures, that are no longer working and that are not coming from heart and Soul. Pluto has started out with a bang as we all know. Capricorn being the ruler of corporate America, the government, the military and the stock market, banks etc. The transformation is about wanting the heart and Soul (Pluto transformation of the Soul) put back into businesses, the government, the stock market, etc. Also Uranus is squaring Pluto all month. Major transformation through sudden changes, thinking outside the box, seeing the big picture, unconditional Love, and humanitarianism. Pluto is squaring Saturn and Uranus. Uranus opposing and changing the Saturn structure that we no longer need, and Pluto squaring the 2 of them saying “come from heart and soul and transform!!
These are the energies that are affecting the Earth and humanity; they are also affecting you individually according to your own birth chart.

Common Thread Group - November 5th
Our November 5th meeting will be back in the Greenwood Room due to previous commitments by the church. We will begin at 7pm with a short meditation, as usual, followed by short announcements. Those of you who have announcements, please have materials available with information by the door that you can briefly refer to as being available. This way, we don't have to take valuable time away from our speakers. This month we are blessed to have Robert Waggoner who will speak to us about:
Using Dreams and Lucid Dreams to Access Our Greatest Potential
Since recorded history, dreams have informed, guided and mystified mankind. With dream accounts of precognition, telepathy, spiritual encounters and interactions with the deceased, dreams have naturally suggested a more complex view of reality. In this session, you will learn how to use dreams to move towards your greatest potential, and how some dreamers are becoming lucid or consciously aware while in the dream state. Please bring your stories to share of amazing dreams that gave you insight, emotional and physical healing and news of events to come!
Our presenter: Robert Waggoner is President of the International Association for the Study of Dreams (IASD) and author of the new book, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self. A summa cum laude graduate of Drake University with a degree in psychology, he is co-editor of the online journal, The Lucid Dream Exchange, the only ongoing publication devoted specifically to lucid dreaming. Robert frequently speaks on lucid dreaming at national and international dream conferences, workshops and college classrooms (for example, Sonoma State University, Iowa State University and Evergreen State College), as well as various radio shows, like Iowa Public Radio.

THE GIFT OF THE GRANDMOTHERS
Like being hugged by angel wings, the Grandmothers provide a safe haven and a natural way of experiencing the feminine energy. Their gifts are gentle and hardly noticeable, yet their gifts are many and life changing. Thus is the feminine energy. As Lea said the other night, it is a “gentle power”. To get in touch with your inner Grandmother is a gift of gentle power to the world. To respect and understand the wisdom of the Grandmothers is a gift to the world.
With their gentle power we feel the feminine and feel hugged by angel wings. Grandmother Agnes had us place our problems in our hands and we held them to the Sky as she prayed (commanded) to Father Sky, “Take away these problems and take care of my children and their children for the next 7 generations.” She prayed with such intensity that tears rolled down her face. You could feel the sky opening at her command and the energy was overwhelming for all of us “children” as we felt her prayer was being answered. Pray that you be hugged by angel wings. Feel it. Become the Grandmother feminine energy. Let your gentle power take care of Mother Earth and all her children for the next 7 generations.
Shared with love,
Cathy Lindsey, astroeyes@aol.com and Laura Jones, joneslaura@aol.com
The last year or so Laura, Cathy, Cindy Bullard, Karen Smith and Lori Cigic have attended gatherings in Kansas with a few of the Grandmothers who are members of the International Council of the Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers. The transformation in each of us has been a gift. We are grateful.

From Jim Bell
FEAR
Fear is a byproduct of the illusion of separateness.
The illusion of separateness is a useful concept by allowing each of us to create our unique individual physical experiences.
Still, separateness truly represents apparent individuations of the Oneness. Even in considering the apparent differences in appearance and function of body organs and parts, one realizes that in the final analysis they are all made up of the same subatomic energy units. Further support in favor of Oneness is seen when we consider our ability to communicate with other animals such as pets, porpoises, etc. Oneness is also supported when we observe evidences of entanglement and entrainment, such as the 100 monkey effect, and when we observe nature’s cycles, such as the sharing of atoms and molecules (we are all breathing molecules once shared by Jesus, the Buddha, and each other.) And ultimately one can consider the Oneness as the seat of pure consciousness, an endless magnificent source of an infinite number of potentials through which, by our thoughts, we create our reality.
But I digress. Fear, again, is a byproduct of the illusion of separateness. It can arise as a result of self-preservation (seeing a bear in your face when you open a cabin door while camping) or as a further byproduct of egotism. Egotism results from perceptions of lack. When we feel that we lack something that others have, we become envious or jealous. When we allow these kinds of thoughts to control our behavior the results can lead to stealing “things” which belong to others or even stealing energy required for life from others, as is the case for dark beings.
Fear cannot exist in the knowledge of the Oneness. The very nature of the Oneness is Love, for the Oneness is God. The most important step each of us can take to overcome fear is to love our self—as we are—knowing also that we can change who and what we think we are at any time.
