Here we are, in the last quarter of the year! We are approaching the Samhain pagan holiday and Halloween, just beginning the Scorpio season. If you are like me, you might really enjoy this time of year for all that it offers–the cooler temps, the walks in nature, gatherings, festivities and spending more time going inward. In particular, activities that involve reflection, meditation, creativity and divination or any other kind of metaphysical or spiritual practice can be enhanced by the thinning of the veils that happen this time of the year.
But this year, the season might feel even more intensely magical and mystical. We kick off the season with a New Moon in Scorpio on November 1st. Since the sun is also in Scorpio, that accentuates many of the scorpionic qualities like passion, power, psychic abilities, heightened emotions and mystery. With the combination of this new moon and the Samhain pagan celebration/Halloween holiday on Oct. 31st, the theme of death and rebirth is very present for many of us.
Much of what has been hidden within that has not been seen, felt or acknowledged can be in this time. Any issues with relationships, especially close ones, those with power struggles, grief, resentments or any other kind of pain or turmoil might be coming up to be healed. The same will be true for our issues with money and abundance. Any past wounding, obstacles or failures can arise in our consciousness to be seen, felt and integrated.
On a lighter note, we’ll also benefit from reclaiming the resources that have been hiding under the surface, waiting to be revealed to us in this time. In this way, we can discover solutions, strategies, healing and other gifts that we need to help us transform in this time period. But we have to be wiling to go within to find them. They will be illuminated for us there if we are willing to look.
And on the outside, some of what might be coming up in the external world or in our personal lives will also be prompting us to go within and find what we truly need there to expand and fulfill ourselves, to progress on our journey as we embody more of our higher self.
Deep inside of us, we’ll find all of the safety, security, love and support we could ever want from anyone or anything in our external lives. For some, during this accelerated integration cycle they will find themselves in closer connection or relationship with God/Source than ever before.
So the death theme is real. This can be something you have recently experienced in your past or are maybe expecting with someone or something in your current reality. It may even be a drastic transformation in your own life! These deaths can be physical or metaphorical. There is a release of the illusion of who you were. Your old identity falls away as you align more with your divine identity. There are endings and completions happening. And all of them can potentially bring up feelings of loss or grief.
This process of letting go and the metaphorical dying can be experienced for some through feelings of sadness, anxiety, confusion and even anger. Other people report feelings of dissolution or the experience of being completely untethered from their old life and self. It can also feel as though you’ve woken up in a new reality without the familiar markers and reference points for life navigation.
Without the usual external mirrors of reflection, some people might feel like an outsider looking at their self, life and the world from a whole new angle. At first it might feel disorienting making the shift from more of a horizontal view of reality to a vertical one.
But for those who have had or are having these dreamlike moments of higher consciousness perspective, you’ll soon see through this temporary and illusory reality and understand what it truly means to be part of something much bigger. This is when our connection to God/Source expands to the degree that the experience of unity is so profoundly felt on all the levels of our being.
And for all of us right now, no matter what your experience might be, remember to allow for the transformation by accepting what is happening and feeling what is arising, so your process can unfold. If you need extra support, ask your higher self to send you a palpable sense of where you are headed energetically. This can help bring more ease and comfort on this part of the journey, as well as an internal knowingness of your direction and next steps.
There will be surprises, epiphanies, revelations and increased psychic awareness at this time. This will happen on personal and collective levels, because for many, we can no longer deny the truth. It will be made known to those who are ready. As the saying goes, the truth will set you free!
And ultimately, this is what your soul is after. The rebirth! The new you. The upgraded, more integrated and powerful you! As you complete this cycle of letting go of what was, you reclaim your gifts, talents and higher destiny. You step into a greater degree of mastery and start walking a higher timeline where more of your soul’s deepest desires and dreams have been waiting for you. Keep in mind that these are desires of the soul, not the ego. But that means it’s possible to achieve a greater level of happiness than you could have ever imagined.
And that will be well worth all past efforts in walking this unknown, fluctuating and at times precarious journey so far. Remember that we were made for these times and that we chose to incarnate during this cycle on the planet to be in service through our own ascension process, specifically to anchor in a higher frequency here. But most importantly, know the best is yet to come. As more of us step into our sovereignty as creator beings, we can truly begin creating a life that’s in resonance with the ascending collective reality and Gaia, our own personal version of heaven on earth!
With Love & Blessings! ~Heather
