Wisdom from Grandmother Moon for Nov/Dec 2009
        by Raven Moondance

     Moving deeper into the "shifting of the ages," with each moon cycle we grow; with each year cycle we evolve. Autumn is the end of the year cycle and on the
 Winter Solstice, the Sun is reborn, beginning a new year cycle. During the Autumn we examine our harvest--the outcomes and results of our work and experiences
over the past year. What is worthy of keeping and what is not working? Time to clean out, let go and release what does not bear fruit or support our sense of wholeness.
    During the time of SCORPIO (Oct.23-Nov.21), the overriding energy is death and rebirth, facilitating the cleansing process. When we release, we make room for
something new to come forth in our life. Keep this in mind around the Full Moon in Scorpio of Nov. 2. If you are in the middle of a decision, life crisis or challenge, place
 it in the hands of the Universe!  Affirm your faith and trust that ALL is in Divine and perfect order.  Focus on your highest desires and have faith in God/Goddess/the Universe
 that your life is evolving in line with your highest good. And re-member, sometimes that highest good is far better than we ever imagined!
   November 11 (11-11-11--2009=11) is an auspicious portal in time and space. Gather with others to pray and meditate and allow yourself to be a conduit or lightening
rod for the cosmic energies coming to Earth.  What an incredible time to be alive on our planet!
    While the Sun moves through the sign of SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 21-Dec.20), the energy shifts our focus to tuning more deeply into the spiritual nature of our being. The
 Full Moon in Sagittarius on Dec. 2 has the potential to shed light on the broader picture--how can we bring the way we are living even more into alignment with our true essence?
 What is our refined role or mission in the scheme of things as we move towards a more uplifted sense of interconnection with all life on our Earth? Allow the fire energy of Sagittarius
to ignite your passion for world service. Ask for guidance around the Full Moon and listen to what comes to you!
    As we move through this time of decreasing light with shorter days and longer nights awaiting the birth of the Sun on the Winter Solstice, fill yourself with light, surround yourself
with light and allow your heart to open, and radiate loving light to everyone around you and to every situation in need. See LOVE and LIGHT expanding everywhere!
   I AM Light. I AM full of Light. Light is all that I AM.....
                 I AM Love. I AM full of Love. Love is all that I AM.....


ARIES (March 20-April 19) This is not a time to push yourself to act quickly or impulsively. Instead, ask for the guidance or insight you need in your prayers and meditation
and then take some time to "listen." Trust your inner guidance and continually affirm your faith and trust that you are indeed being guided in each and every moment.  
AFFIRMATION: I listen to the guidance coming from deep within. I feel supported by the Earth beneath me and by the Light within me. I AM THAT I AM.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) What has been pushing for a change in your life? Do it now! It may be uncomfortable and even scary--almost like dying to a part of yourself.
Know that you are preparing to be reborn into a new sense of self. Let go of whatever is holding you back or very obviously not working. Totally trust that it is in line with your
 highest good to move forward unencumbered by the old and outmoded.  It is time! As the days pass, you will feel so much lighter!  
AFFIRMATION: I release, let go and move on. The past is over. I am open to integrating a more joyful, lighter expression of my true self. I AM free!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Re-member to call on the support and guidance of your spirit guides, angels and inner knowingness. Your are indeed being Divinely guided.  When your
 mind starts going in circles, take a deep breath or two and bring your focus to your heart center. Ask yourself, "How do I feel regarding this situation?" Your feelings are your barometer,
 not your logical mind.  Don't doubt yourself and never doubt that your soul is guiding you! 
 AFFIRMATION: As my life unfolds before me, I feel the support of the Universe.  As I step into each new day, I feel the joy of being alive!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Continue to observe your thoughts and quickly shift any doubts or worry to a more positive vision.  Re-member--it is a waste of your energy to fixate
 on why, what if or what should, could or would be!  Keep your focus on what you truly desire to manifest. Enjoy the process--have fun with your imagining! If you have been working
diligently on this, feel good about your progress. Aren't you seeing some noticeable results from the conscious focus you have been putting into your thoughts recently?  Let each positive
result empower you to keep moving forward. 
AFFIRMATION: I have total faith in my ability to create the life of my dreams. I AM empowered!

LEO (July 23-Aug.22) Re-member the magical, mystical part of life. When you feel doubt, worry or come upon a challenge, give your concern up to the Universe as if you are joyfully
 releasing a bird from your hands to fly free. Let it go, take a breath and then think of the most positive outcome for your concern that you can imagine. You don't have to figure it out!
Keep bringing your focus back to the positive and watch it manifest!
AFFIRMATION: Life is magical! It always unfolds in a way that supports my highest growth. I AM grateful.

VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) Notice what the people in your life are reflecting to you. Don't take
the words or actions of others personally, instead ask yourself what they are teaching you about yourself. What are you learning about how you interact with the world that can assist you
in your growth at this time? Re-member--it is not about them--it is about you and your unfoldment. Appreciate the pearls of wisdom you are receiving. They are indeed enhancing your bright spirit! 
AFFIRMATION: As I gaze into the night sky, I see my inner beauty reflected by the moon and stars as they guide me on my journey towards wholeness.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.22) Consider the three months after your birthday as a time to set the foundation for your year ahead. What are you thinking about and focusing on? Is it what you truly want?
 Let your imagination run free. Give yourself time and permission to create wonderful, life-affirming visions about what you desire to see manifest as the year progresses. Enjoy yourself making a
vision board and/or creating affirmations to assist you in keeping your focus positive. 
 AFFIRMATION:  I enjoy each day as it unfolds bringing me all the love, joy, peace and abundance I desire.

SCORPIO (Oct.23-Nov.21) As you complete one year and begin a new one with your birthday, take time to contemplate your blessings. Think upon the many ways you have grown and evolved
over the past year. Be grateful for your challenges--they are the jewels that encourage us to grow and step more fully into our true self. Bless the good, the bad and the difficult and trust that it is all
a necessary part of your journey to wholeness.
AFFIRMATION: I AM blessed. I thank myself and the Universe for co-creating a life filled with joy, abundance and inner peace. I AM blessed!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov.22-Dec.21) Any stress or challenge you are experiencing needs to be addressed asap. Begin by cleaning out your home, office, garage, basement, car, etc... Get rid of extra,
useless "stuff" to help move and shift the energy as you prepare to begin a new year with your birthday. Next, work on the emotions that are bubbling up to the surface. What do you need to change
within you or around you in order to move towards a place of inner peace? Take care of business, simplify and come home to a clearer sense of self.
AFFIRMATION:  As I let go of what I no longer need--emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually--I align more fully with my true essence.

CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) What perceptions or beliefs about yourself or life just don't fit any more?  This has been a powerful year for you. Pluto transiting through your sign is assisting
you in re-defining who you are. This can be stressful as core beliefs are being challenged. Carefully examine your reactions. Give yourself permission to change what you know in your heart needs
to be changed in your beliefs and in how you are living your life. Go for it! 
AFFIRMATION:  I fully embrace life in every moment. Each day I step more fully into the most magnificent version of myself! And so it is!

AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.18) Take time to rest, relax and go within reviewing this past year--your accomplishments, major insights and ways you have deepened your connection to Spirit.
Be gentle with yourself. Appreciate how hard you have worked and how far you have come along your path in this year alone! Good job! Renew your body, mind and soul with some extra sleep,
a massage, a Reiki session, a relaxing bath or a quiet walk in nature. You deserve it!  
AFFIRMATION: I AM blessed! The Earth supports me! Spirit guides me! Every moment is perfect!

PISCES (Feb.19-March 19) Your concentrated focus of the past few months may be coming to fruition now. Observe your thoughts and observe your life. Are you now more clearly aware of the
power your have to create your life? If you are not happy with what you see manifesting, than change your thinking. Re-member--you are the only one responsible for your life. Be diligent in observing
your thoughts and words, quickly changing your focus when it is not the very best you wish to create for yourself.  
AFFIRMATION: I AM empowered! I AM consciously creating my life and see only the very best unfolding before me! I AM blessed!
