Energy reading for November 2006
Written By: Theresa Chaze
This energy reading is hitting very close to home for me, but I am not the only one. Many bright lights have found themselves targeted by those whose goal is to spread fear. Although mine started on the physical plane, it reached to challenge me on the spiritual and emotional. So it is with many. Whether it be losing loved ones, economic insecurity, or religious/political issues, we all have been challenged to face our fears and become stronger. No longer are we able to idly stand by and believe it won’t happen to us or that someone else will take care of it. Each of us are now responsible for taking the lead and standing up for what is right. To allow a bully to harm a weaker person is to be just as responsible. For evil to win, good people have to do nothing; however, when they stand together to face the bully, the bully slinks back into the shadows.
The energy we have brought into November from the past is the four of wands. It is a card of peace and harmony from lessons learned and challenged faced. It is an energy of confidence and satisfaction. We are proud of our accomplishments and the rewards we have earned. It is a time of sharing what we have learned and how much progress we have made. In the past, we faced the old fears and reach further into our core to find the true source of what motivates us. What is hidden can be feared, but once it is brought into the light, it can be examined and worked through. We found others who were dealing with the same issues and had the strength to share. In doing so new bonds were formed and more resources were made available.
For the month of November, the energy is represented by the page of swords. Although we come into the month on a positive note, the challenges again rise up. As we are confronted from the outside, we will find ourselves on the defensive. We will feel uncertain of ourselves and our beliefs as we are forced to reevaluate from the inside out. Was what we held close to our hearts an illusion? Was it real? What is real and true? What or who can we depend on? Its a time of intense growth and clarification. No longer will the shallow explanations be enough. Each of us will be forced to answer the tough questions within ourselves. This energy will force us to define what within ourselves is ego, fear, or power driven. In seeing and releasing the smallness of ourselves, we find the true motivations of our actions and are able to return to the Divineness that is within all of us. In finding our own, we again see the Divine in others.
The energy we will take from November is the page of wands. As we have found our truth, from within we are more able to speak it with others. No longer will we be comfortable with the shallow old relationship or ways of relating. Although its still on the horizon and the dawn has yet to break, the fellowship is emerging. As each person finds their own light, so they light the way for others to find their way. For every prayer for peace and wisdom, for every kindness shown, for every bully that is faced and forced to back down, the Divine grows within all of us as each act reinforces the next. No one stands alone when they come from the truth. As each of us faces our fears, we make the whole stronger and we are more able to see family in the faces of strangers.
The challenge we will all be facing is the ace of cups. No matter what challenges crosses our path, we must face it with courage, love and a good sense of humor. It will not be easy, but we will not be alone. As we reach out to strangers, so they will reach back to us, creating new bonds of support and understanding. For many it will mean new starts or the reactivation of old projects. Many who were afraid to speak out will suddenly find their voice. Some have already been pushed with their backs to the wall and have no place else to go but forward. Others have voluntarily left their nest in order to protect it. Although it was painful, they needed to temporarily be relocated to a place where their voice could be heard and their actions draw more attention. They will be the ones who turn on the spotlights and directs them into the heart of the shadows. The time of the truth-bringers have begun. Its time for all of us to stand together.
