November Blessings!
“Who first come to this world below
with drear November’s fog and snow
Should prize the Topaz amber hue
Emblem of friends and lover’s true.”
Ready for another exciting month? Here in New England the leaves are almost all completely off the trees now and the nights have been pretty cold as we move into the time of the year where we have limited sunlight. Don’t forget that we have Daylight Savings Time this weekend here in most parts of the United States. I know efforts are being made in a lot of places to not use it anymore and I’m truly hoping that they do away with it here in New England as well. Over the next month we can start getting dark as early as 4:30 where in the Summer it can stay light out until almost 9:00. The one thing I love about it is all the beautiful lights up for the season. It seems as if more and more people are keeping pretty lights up outside during the darker months of the year and it is really beautiful to see.
Let’s take a look at what’s going on this month.
November 5 – 6 Taurids Meteor Shower – The Taurids is a long-running minor meteor shower producing only about 5-10 meteors per hour. It peaks this year during this time.
November 6 – Mercury at Greatest Eastern Elongation. The planet Mercury reaches greatest eastern elongation of 23.3 degrees from the Sun. This is the best time to view Mercury since it will be at its highest point above the horizon in the evening sky. Look for the planet low in the western sky just after sunset.
November 7 – New Moon – It’s our first New Moon of our Witch’s New Year. We definitely have some exciting energy coming our way.
November 11 – Veteran’s Day
November 17 – 18 – 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 where hundreds of meteors per hour can be seen.
November 22 – Thanksgiving (United States)
November 23 – Full Mourning Moon – A day to release what isn’t in your best interest and bring something new into your life. You will also find some powerful intuitive energy around you with this Moon.
November 24 – Celtic Month of Tree Reed Ends
November 25 – Celtic Month of Elder Begins
November 30 – Festival of Hecate – A day to honor the Goddess Hecate
Tarot Pull For November – I pulled the Hanged Man for November. He can often come to us in a time of suspended action. You may find that November while busy is a time that you may not necessarily make a lot of movement forward on your path. Don’t mistake this for being an unimportant time though. Use this time to reflect upon your life and live in the moment. Watch for the opportunities that surround you during this month and take action on the ones that are calling you.
Sometimes when taking control of our life it’s important to let go. You may have some things that are already in the works and they need time to come to fruition. It may indicate that there’s energy around you that’s in the process of shifting and you need to give it time before you can proceed. There may be things that you need to learn that are incredibly important to your future path while you are in this time of pause. Pay attention to everything going on around you and really use this time to observe and learn. The information that you gain during this time will be helpful to you in the future.
Have an amazing month!
Much Love and Many Blessings,
