NOVEMBER 2013 ASTRO FORECAST

The intensity of this phase will involve many experiencing losses on one or more levels

 of materiality

 - be that people, things, resources, finances.

This is a process of rebalancing or reconsidering values and attachments
 with alternate notions arising about
 the underlying essence of things, people & existence in general

Everyday Scorpionic intensity is heightened further in November 2013 :

November 3 Scorpionic Total Solar Eclipse
line-up of Mercury-Nodes-Sun-Moon-Saturn
but also the Mercury-Nodes-Sun-Saturn group retriggered in Scorpio on Nov 6
and the Scorpio-Taurus Full Moon [Nov 17-18] activating Pluto-Uranus effects

The lunar nodes
are significant destiny-karma indicators so what happens in this time 
frame is profoundly meaningful both for individual experiences and 
on a collective or mass destiny level. 

SCORPIO and TAURUS essentially identify the non-physical versus physical
 energy polarity so both are involved in standout events of Nov 2013
 & beyond into 2014

TAURUS
physical concerns are about security & survival - food, shelter, 
money being prominent in contemporary terms. Tactile, earthy, sensory
things are the territory of this sign.
Objects and possessions & the attachment to same.

SCORPIO
is the metaphysical = what lies beyond the physical 
-the territory many associate with death or an afterlife. 

It is also the contrast to the physical-sensory
-tactile existence so loved -and needed by Taurus.

SCORPIO
connects to the territory of pure energy,where objects cease to exist
 -the realm that pervades our entire existence from the local
 to the universality of deep space. 
The unseen forces that are comprised of vibrating wave patterns.

The human mind  [and likely that of other sentient life] -
when tuned into the Scorpionic wavelength - has the capacity
to transcend and transform material reality
by accessing the energy fields we are embedded in.

The contemporary master [magician] Dynamo -  Steven Frayne
demonstrates this ability in a manner most commonly seen in Eastern
spiritual masters, shamanic practitioners and their equivalents
in diverse cultural communities across the continents of the world.

November 2013
 - and sustained during the eclipse phase till late April 2014

is likely to bring to the fore issues contrasting the Scorpio-Taurus 
differences.

The opportunity is given to transcend or at least reduce attachment
to Taurean materiality, physicality,sensuality on account of
its transient and illusory nature.

To understand this issue in depth, a study of Buddhist philosophy
is informative - or the concepts uncovered through quantum mechanics
regarding the hidden nature of reality.

SCORPIO

confronts us with endings, often actual physical deaths or decay in our personal or
collective networks - as a reminder of the limited, transient existence of all
material forms.

This leads many to consider the energetic trace left by a person & 

their life of achievements, relationships and actions both positive
and negative.

The energy exchange that occurs in sexual activity

& the apparent 'loss of self' and 'little death' experiences

mean that sexual issues are Scorpio's concern

Scorpio's
capacity to access powerful unseen forces and to manipulate or 
transform energy means that power use and abuse in general
arise in discussion under Scorpio periods of influence

Issues arising re collectively held or any shared resources such as trusts 
safeguarding family property are a Scorpio arrangement versus the 
personal property, possessions or cash which is a Taurus matter 

For those wishing to operate more on an energy level as opposed to the 
base level of materiality this is an excellent period for developing 
mastery of metaphysical skills - the practices of accessing and utilising your 
personal energy potential in order to operate effectively and flowingly 
- and claim your place in the world - instead of facing perpetual defeat 
& discouragement - the hallmarks of blocked personal energy.
