Awareness: The Pattern Before the Choice
Nov 4-9
Astro Insights
November 4 brought us a Mercury cazimi at 12° Scorpio, where retrograde Mercury sat right in the heart of the Sun. Traditionally, this is considered a moment of empowerment and a turning point in how we process our thoughts and experiences. With Scorpio being a fixed water sign ruled by Mars, I think this brings an interesting opportunity to look at the emotional attachments, defenses, and beliefs that influence how we interpret things. And as we approach the Scorpio New Moon on November 9, we're being asked to take that awareness a step further. Because recognizing why we respond a certain way is one thing, but being willing to make a different choice when those familiar emotions come up is where real change begins.
Quantum Tip
As we walk our new path, emotions will still rise up as we bump up to familiar triggers. In the past we grabbed onto them, told stories about them and responded with the same patterned reactions keeping us looping on the same wounds. But now, we are aware of these patterns and can consciously choose to just witness the emotion rising and let it flow through us without attaching the old stories. Each time we are successful at this, we expand our emotional intelligence on our journeys.
