The main theme for November is De-stabilization.

Sub-themes are:

• Dissolving old foundations

• Accessing the void

• Re-defining essentials

• Creativity and resourcefulness as security

• New platforms of stability

The influences of this month encourage major de-stabilization of many of the known structures we have all come to rely on. This includes all the ways we have organized our perceptions and emotional responses to the physical world. De-stabilization is seen here as a positive influence as it accelerates movement where progress is necessary. In the process, great energy and power are released.

We have talked before about this time of the feminine coming into power. The feminine has two aspects; the creative and the destructive. What we are dealing with this month is the destructive side of the feminine which, in its positive expression, can be helpful in destroying the cancers of our attachments and old patterns exemplified by outdated patriarchal structures of the modern western world. Keep in mind that the feminine is a fluid, creative and powerful energy that tends to break through any rigidity that opposes it. While Martyrdom is still a constant thorn in our side, Stubbornness takes the lead this month as the obstacle to be aware of.

Stubbornness stems from the fear of change and the resistance to authority. In this case the authority is the influence of the feminine and all the agents of change that are out of our intellectual and emotional control. At this stage in the game, resistance is futile. Things will happen whether you like it or not because it is what is needed at this time. Remember that you are part of the collective and it is the collective that is choosing how this shift in consciousness is playing itself out. The only aspect that you can control is how you deal with the de-stabilization. Will you be in shock and surprise like a deer in headlights or will you accept it and harness the momentum of the incredible movement of energy that it produces?

De-stabilization can manifest in many different ways. How it shows up in your life will be determined largely by what your lessons may be, what your lifestyle is, and how attached you are to how you think it ought to be. When contemplating the unknown, if fear and dread arises in you, you have work to do. The challenge will be in letting go of the need to know so that you can approach the unknown as a child anticipating a big surprise with excitement and wonder. This is a looking forward approach rather than a backing away as a protective measure. In order to fully participate in creating the future that you want, you must face the unknown with curiosity, enthusiasm, and excitement and keep a "don't know mind". These will fuel your creativity and expand the potential of your possibilities.

There is a practical aspect to these times as well. The pragmatist pays attention. Just because there is disintegration around you does not mean you can stop maintaining the details of your physical life. You still have to pay your bills and service your car and keep your environment organized. You should still honor your agreements and show up where you said you would. But in addition it is important at this time to pay attention to signs from spirit; little odd things that come to you; synchronicity and unusual events. Don't fall asleep but rather stay awake, be watchful, attentive and proactive. These signs may be little portals or openings for you to move into and explore. Use your curiosity, ask "what if" and then go for it. Don't believe the news feed of reality as it is being handed to you. Lose the mind and follow your intuition instead.

Dissolving old foundations

Foundations are built on patterns of stability and anchored into something that is believed to be long lasting in its stability. Therefore it is always a shock and a surprise when a structure that is perceived as stable breaks loose from its foundation because the foundation has lost its integrity and power to support. Many mental, physical and emotional structures, which we have come to rely on as permanently stable, will be affected this month as their foundations de-stabilize and begin to dissolve. Because this is primarily an energetic process that will happen from the inside, you may not be fully aware of the physical manifestations for some time. Therefore it is important that you pay attention to signs of the little changes and the smaller movements of energy. Rather than resisting and trying to reinforce what is dissolving, help it along by being proactive in your attitude. The best thing you can do in the face of this dissolving is to allow it with gratitude and willingness. Embrace the unknown behind it with the confidence and trust that things will turn out just fine in the end.

One of the most powerful dissolving agents is water. As the earth supports this process we may see events that involve water in some way. This could occur with anything from tsunamis due to earthquakes, dams breaking, flooding, mudslides, and storms at sea or on land. Personally and in your own environment watch for water related issues in your home and immediate environment. The fluids of the body may also be affected and it would be a good idea to drink more water. On another personal level, your own foundations of rational thinking, plans for your future and the context in which you see yourself mentally, emotionally and physically may also go through de-stabilization. You may need to allow these foundations to dissolve and to redefine your reference points. If you do experience disintegration and unraveling, allow it and focus instead of something that happens to be stable in your life. Your inner life is something you alone have power over and can provide you with stability during these times.

Accessing the void

The void is the place where form does not yet exist. It is the experience of nothing. It is the collapse of particles that have taken some kind of physical form back into the quantum field and the vast soup of infinite potential. It is also a very frightening place to be. Most people who have been heavily imprinted to identify with productivity, action and seeing physical results as their measure of success, resist the void at all costs. It feels like depression, failure, and a black hole. The experience there feels unmotivated and there is nothing for the intellectual center to grasp. The void is the feminine and the most fertile soil in which to plant new seeds. The void is an extremely important place to be comfortable in at this time. To get to the void one must let go completely of all attachments to physical forms and foundations especially to forms created from an old paradigm, and to sit in meditation, silence and peace. Great trust in the natural cycle is helpful in becoming comfortable in this space. Set some time for yourself on a daily basis to be in the void either through meditation or simply being. As you witness de-stabilization and the dissolving of old forms, acknowledge the movement into the void.

Re-defining essentials

What is essential? This month much of what we thought was truly essential for our survival, quality of life, personal success and happiness will be re-defined. Non-essential thoughts, habits, stuff, energy leaks, drama, reactions and anything that you inherited that was not specifically chosen by you should be scrutinized for its current value in your life. You cannot afford a heavy backpack full of non-essentials. You won't make it up the mountain. Take some time this month to look at your life in terms of essentials vs. non-essentials and continue to clear, clean, dissolve and let go of what no longer can support you in the future.

The non-essentials have more to do with your beliefs, attitudes and attachments than they have to do with your physical environment unless you truly are a slave to your physical stuff. Things like worry, obsession, regret, too much attachment to needing to know, judgment of self and others, addiction to drama are all non-essentials that should allowed to dissolve so their energy can be used for more productive and creative intentions. Your essentials should be all of those powerful aspects of yourself that no one can take away from you: your spiritual practices and inner life, your service, your imagination, your talents, your contribution, your essence, your positive outlook and attitude, and your creativity. Establishing a stronger relationship with these elements will serve as the basis for new platforms of stability.

Creativity and resourcefulness as security

It's time to wake up the curiosity and imagination and get creative, inspired and resourceful. We are moving into a time where access to the quantum field is more tangible than ever and problem solving should come from a place completely disconnected from past experiences. We are entering a new era where the imagination is key to progress. As a collective we must move away out of the position of simply accepting what we are told and into a position of proactive questioning that stretches the imagination and opens creativity. We need to ask more of "why not" and "what if". We need to hold the position that there are an infinite number of solutions ready to be created as we stretch the envelope of what has been done before.

These are very exciting times and if you can get out of the fear and resistance to the de-stabilization and see it more as an opportunity for increasing creativity, you will have way more energy and enthusiasm to put towards new possibilities.

New platforms of stability

The new platforms of stability have to be built from inside. They begin with trust and confidence and the belief in your own resourcefulness and creativity. Even if you have been led to believe that most things you have in your life are there because you followed someone else's direction or studied the right thing, you need to acknowledge and really get that you created every bit of your life the way it is. There is power in accepting the responsibility for your creation. In acknowledging your power to create, you are anchoring a belief in your ability to create again and again and again. So in the face of the destructive feminine that is dissolving known structures; where form is becoming formless and mental constructs are melting into the void; know that you can take all the creative material which is the result of this process, and create something new again and again and again.

The new platforms of stability will be anchored by intentions fueled by the emotions rather than the mind. The era of the intellectual rule is over. The mind needs to be retrained as the useful tool in service to the heart that it was always meant to be. Because of the resistance and chaos common to this process, it is best to practice not believing everything you think, hear, read or are told by others. Approach what you take in and absorb with conscious awareness. Don't just go to sleep and sit like a zombie in front of the television. Pay attention to the absurdity with humor and question what you have always taken for granted.

Your own trust in yourself and your abilities will be your strongest foundation for these times.

Personal Growth and Well-Being

The biggest opportunity for personal growth is in the letting go of all the mental constructs and beliefs about how the world in which we live operates, the mechanics of cause and effect, solution to problems, and how things are created and manifested. Working proactively with the quantum field can produce tremendous change and growth. The task will be to allow it. This will require looking at your attachment to the way things are and your willingness to let it go. Look at your addiction to suffering and drama and be willing to contemplate life without it. Tell the truth to yourself about how the false personality continues to be fed by this addiction. Do you really want to change? What would you have to gripe and gossip about if life were just the way you wanted it?

It is likely we will see a larger gap in the way people perceive the world. Beliefs will be polarized and disagreements will stem from Stubbornness. You can choose to be incredibly happy for no apparent reason at ll. It is possible.

Relationships

Relationships will sort themselves out according to what is essential. Connections with family and community members that have a common vision will be very important. Because we are in a time of cooperative effort and the lessons around cooperation are plentiful, there will be many opportunities to see the positive effects from collaborative efforts. Going about it alone, competitively just simply is not part of the new paradigm and the sooner we learn this and start practicing it, the more powerfully the quantum field will respond.

On a personal level, look at where you energy leaks may be in your current relationships and remove all non-essential behaviors. Relationships will be affected by the de-stabilization of the times and you could experience a change in what you perceived to be reliable, stable and available in some of your relationships. There may even be shocks or surprises in this area. Rather than reacting negatively, treat this as an opportunity to bring in something new that will serve you even better.

Climate, Weather and the Environment

We are still dealing with water as an element as it supports the dissolving of old structures. Practice creativity and resourcefulness when required to be flexible around the weather. The weather patterns will ratchet up a notch in intensity as they handle the emotional turbulence of the times. Learn to be in humor and play as a child would. The weather has the ability to disrupt plans, travel, meetings, appointments, work, school etc. Disruptions in the schedule are a good way to practice flexibility and to let go of your attachments to the way you thought the time would be. The weather is something no one can control. We could be surprised and even shocked at some of the events that may happen this month including earth movement, heavy winds, storms, flooding, and extremes in temperatures.

Business, Finance, Projects and Partnerships

A good month to be creative and resourceful, to cut the non-essentials, to bring in people you like being around rather than looking only at their qualifications, to ask for help, to brainstorm new solutions, to throw away old ways of doing things, to ask "why not" and "what if", to dream big, to not take personally the dissolving of an old structure, to see change as opportunity, and to pay attention and stay awake.

Finances may be all over the map responding directly to your mental constructs and your beliefs. Watch the Stubbornness as it tries to hold onto old models of doing business. If it feels forced, joyless, stressful and burdensome, it isn't right. Let it go. On the other hand, there is nothing wrong with staying in a job or on a project that pays well and takes no effort even if you feel it is not what you want to be doing in 5 years. As long as you don't get stuck in it for year and year, the current security it provides may be worthwhile.

All in al this month is good for contemplating what you may want to imagine and create for yourself in collaboration with others.

Physical Health and Well-Being

One of the strongest collective belief systems and mental constructs is the one about how the physical body works, reacts and heals; what it is capable of, its longevity, the causes and effects of illness, exercise, the mind, genetics etc. The area of physical health is one of the areas that can go through the most shocking revolution as the belief systems dissolve. The instability of the month may affect the inner ear, the immune system, the nervous system and the glands. Watch for mysterious symptoms and hard to diagnose conditions. Don't expect the current Western medical models to have any answers. And don't believe everything you are told. Your best bet is to work with your imagination and to consider your body as a creative organism that can destroy the unwanted and create better conditions. Let your body set the pace. If it wants to rest, let it rest. If it wants to move, let it move. Be expressive and pay attention.

Important dates

November 1-7: A radical time of turbulence and instability. You may experience a non-specific anxiety that make it difficult for some to get restful sleep. There may be global events also at this time that point to de-stabilization and unrest. Go with the flow. Get into the middle of the rapid and enjoy the ride. Resistance and fear will only put you into the eddy where you will get stuck. Watch the tendency to align yourself with someone else's drama as a way to ignore what is knocking at your own door. Pay attention to all the signs from spirit and let them be your guide.

November 2: Full Moon is at 12:14 PM MST (Mountain Standard Time) Reflect on what is essential in your life. Focus on the opportunities spirit has given you. If there is something new that has dropped into your experience recently, acknowledge it as something you created powerfully for yourself. In this way you focus on your ability to create instead of what you may perceive as not happening.

November 8-14: A time of sifting through the rubble and the pieces of the old foundations and structures. This is a highly creative time of using the imagination and working with the quantum field. Be sure to remind yourself to face surprise with enthusiasm and excitement as if you were a child and believed that anything was possible. Anything is possible at this time. Don't get bogged down in worry and regret and obsessive thinking. Nothing is as it seems to the mind. Keep reminding yourself that the dream is changing and that your intellectual center is the last to know.

November 15-21: This time frame supports and opportunity for the higher emotional center to express joy and wonder. The opposite is also possible here. Intense fear, depression and emotional turmoil can be the other experience at this time. How you manage this time will be up to you. If you see opportunity instead of failure, you will take advantage of the higher center. Remember that the feminine place of the void is a highly creative place to be. Allow yourself to simply be there.

November 16: New Moon is at 12:14 PM MST (Mountain Standard Time) A time of working with the void, the feminine. Allow the destructive quality of the dark feminine to help you dissolve something that really need to be gone, something non-essential that your false personality has been holding onto. If there is nothing, then simply spend some time feeling the peace and emptiness in the nothingness of the void.

November 22-30: This is again a highly creative time. Pay attention and focus on the signs. Push the envelope of what you have perceived as possible. Stretch your imagination. Resist believing the status quo. Ask the right questions, "why not" and "what if". Mostly just be with what is from a place of trusting in the right order of things and in your own ability and power to create. Spend time with others you like to be around and keep cutting the non-essentials from your life.

Have a great month,

Blessings,

Lena
