THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE

The sun enters NOVEMBER at 9 SCORPIO a FIXED WATER sign. There are 3 symbols for Scorpio which depend on how advanced the native is. The Scorpion is the lowest and most nasty of the Scorpio symbols. The next is the Eagle - quite advanced, flying and observing the total picture. The highest form of Scorpio is the Phoenix - the mythical bird which jumps into the fire, burns up the old self, then transforms and rises into a new improved version of self. Which are you? Scorpio is ruled by Mars and Pluto. It rules the REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS. Scorpio natives are resourceful, intuitive, secretive, passionate and intense. Do not try to to cross a Scorpio - They are known to sting and be revengeful. The slogans for Scorpio are "I create and I transform."

MIND: BELIEFS AS A CAUSE FOR ILLNESS

We are a composite of beliefs created from experiences in this lifetime and in past lives, passed on by parents, teachers religious practitioners, doctors, bosses, friends, TV, movies books, etc and view points of certain time periods.

Chronic illnesses may come from deep inner upsets and past trauma. Meditation, Hypnosis and Prayer can be helpful.

There are many mental/emotional causes for illness.

1. Avoiding a situation

2. An overwhelmed and over worked mind

3. Needing time to rest, hide, and regroup

4. A need to be loved and taken care of.

5. Too many pressures - Job, family, social or business

6. Excess worry, fear, guilt and panic

7. Unsolved problems

8. Negative predictions to a sensitive child or adult

9. Death or sickness of a close family member or friend

Stress can be the basis of many illnesses. Even today, I hear my father's voice say, "People get sick when they have too much on their mind".

I have heard my mother's words of wisdom about the danger of season changes and the night air. Now I take extra precautions regarding getting a cold from the night air or during the change of seasons.

I also remedied her prediction, "You always get sick during Xmas and New Years", which occurred - every year, until I consciously corrected it.

BODY: PHYSICAL CAUSES

Physical STRESSES can cause low energy

1. Changes in climate and weather

2. Traveling

3. Lack of sleep and rest

4. Eating poorly or not at all

5. No time or inclination to take care of self.

6. Over or under exercising

7. An accident or a physical mishap

8. Spending time with negative people

Acupuncture is a great way to get the body in balance

SPIRIT: A NEW TWIST ON AN OLD STORY

"The 3 Little Pigs" tells it all. The 3 little pigs were afraid of the big bad wolf. The wolf symbolizes illness. Each pig built a house, one made of straw, one made of sticks and one made of brick. The houses symbolized protection for each pig. When the wolf huffed and puffed to blow the houses down, he was able to destroy the houses made of straw and sticks. These houses had weak foundations and he destroyed 2 pigs. The foundation of the brick house was well thought out and was so strong - it kept the pig alive and healthy.

Think about your body as a foundation and as a resistance to illness. You will never get blown away when you are strong mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Germs, bacteria, viruses etc. will pass you by.

Words of Wisdom

Stay Physically, Emotionally, Mentally and Spiritually strong, eat nourishing food, exercise, rest, get enough sleep and have fun.

Make your foundation strong. Let your mind stay positive, focused, and identify and release negative beliefs.

During this time of year, the external light on the earth is decreasing. This period becomes an opportunity to have an inner illuminating experiences.

The new moon in Scorpio, November 7th, is a perfect intuitive time to meditate and release old patterns. New Moon brings in New Beginnings for Self healing on a deep Scorpio Transformation level. Be the Phoenix

during this time and be supported by positive change energy.
