November 2023: Balance, Gratitude & Vision …

Welcome, November 2023!

This month, we may feel and experience the energies of gratitude, illumination, intuition, and vision. These energies will help us find balance in all areas of who we are and what we do, especially in our emotional thoughts and our connection with Spirit. It is also a great month to balance our Feminine and Masculine energies and bring balance between our mission and self/spirit care. This is the time when listening to and trusting your own intuition will be key for all of us as we venture through previously uncharted waters on this beautiful planet. Use the incoming balanced energy to gather all that is in alignment for you and give thanks for what you have in your life, and all you have gone through. Go with the flow and allow the Universe to deliver unplanned surprises through your life experience.

I was recently reminded of a cataclysmic experience I had many moons ago. I was supposed to go to a Dalai Lama teaching event in Philadelphia, but it was canceled due to the Dalai Lama’s poor health. Shortly after finding out that the event was canceled, the Universe provided me with another opportunity – a private healing session and Despacho Ceremony & Karpay with Don Humberto Soncco Quispe, aQ’ero Master Shaman and Incan High Priest from the mountains outside Cuzco, Peru. The Universe did not disappoint me on the trade, and at that point in my life, the experience with Don Humberto on a personal level set things in motion for me in such a profoundly transformational way that it ultimately guided me to exactly where I was always meant to be. Above all, when the Universe delivers change to your door, embrace it and lean into it, don’t turn it away! You never know how the experience may enlighten you.

This month’s playlist will create balance in all aspects of your being this month, and supporting the balance you need most at this time. Listening to this playlist will help you energetically process the frequencies of the month in a fun way, as I have added some energy healing and support directly into the music.

With the asteroid Chiron, and the planets Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn, and Uranus in Retrograde as we begin November, I feel we can safely assume two things: we should anticipate more changes within the collective and our personal lives, and expect the unexpected. The good news is that Saturn, the planet known for “karma,” will once again be going direct on November 4th. Depending on where you live in the world, November may be the harbinger of coldness and darkness, while other are as will experience longer days and warmer weather. This time of year can be really challenging for many, and for a variety of reasons. Spirit’s advice is to implement positive changes in your life to reduce as much stress as you can, such as allowing yourself to follow your heart, breathing techniques, connecting with nature as referenced above, giving yourself permission to truly feel your feelings, and practicing mindfulness around everyday decisions.



Here are some other essential things to be on the lookout for this month:


November 4th/5th – Taurids Meteor Shower


The Taurids is along-running minor meteor shower producing only about 5-10 meteors per hour. The shower runs annually from September 7th to December 10th. It peaks this year on the night of November 4th and the morning of the 5th. The second quarter moon may block most of the dim meteors this year, but if you are patient, you may still be able to catch a few good ones. The best viewing will be just after midnight from a dark location far away from city lights.


November 13th – New Moon in Scorpio


The Moon will be located on the same side of the Earth as the Sun and will not be visible in the night sky. This day will bring quick and sudden changes and news without much warning. Anything that the Universe feels is no longer in alignment with you and your future will soon fall away. This is the best time of the month to observe faint objects such as galaxies and star clusters because there is no moonlight to interfere.


November 17th/18th – Leonids Meteor Shower


The Leonids is an average shower, producing up to 15 meteors per hour at its peak. This shower is unique in that it has a cyclonic peak about every 33 years when you can see hundreds of meteors per hour. The last of these occurred in 2001. The shower runs annually from November 6th to 30th. It peaks this year on the night of the 17th and the morning of the 18th. The crescent moon will set before midnight, leaving dark skies for what should be a great early morning show. The best viewing will be from a dark location after midnight.


November 27th – Full Moon in Gemini


The Moon will be located on the opposite side of the Earth as the Sun and its face will be fully illuminated. Remember that during times of stress, how we communicate matters. You may also feel a greater sense of responsibility with this moon phase. This full moon was known by early Native American tribes as the Beaver Moon because this was the time of year to set the beaver traps before the swamps and rivers froze. It has also been known as the Frosty Moon and the Dark Moon.


“Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.” – The Dalai Lama
