November will be an interesting month, as the Pig is the conflict animal for the annual Snake energy. Plus, Mercury goes Retrograde 11/9-29, making it an extra strong opportunity to revisit past choices and see if a different direction is the right way to go.

Yin Fire inspires quick thinking, attention to detail, devotion to close companions, inspiration, thoughtfulness, and kindness. It can also be unstable, untrusting, fickle, gullible, needy, and delusional. Notice when you are flickering like a candle in the wind and when you are a strong steady flame that allows those around you to relax and focus on the task at hand.

Pig energy can be hyper-focused, optimistic, and honest. They have a way of retaining their childlike enthusiasm and innocence for their entire lives, unless someone takes advantage of them. Then they become guarded and suspicious of everything. Their generous nature belies their natural talent at making (and keeping!) money.

Card of the Month: #16, Enthusiasm

Find your level of self-expression and confidence and use it to inspire others. This "Illumined Presence" allows for creativity to come through in art, dance, poetry, and music. Be careful if you find yourself getting addicted to the praise and adoration of others, though. You'll lose that spark and burn yourself out trying to do even bigger and more grandiose things to keep trying to impress others.

Clarifying Cards:

#61, Inner Truth, focus line 5

Our intuition will be heightened this month, but notice when it's being filtered through lenses gifted to us by society, our groups, and media. Use this inner knowing when you are interacting in the public sphere, checking to see if your attitude is adding value or creating more friction.

#33, Retreat, focus line 1

Timing is everything. You may have missed out on the first opportunity, but creating drama around it is unnecessary. Take a step back, reevaluate your direction, and leave when the current situation is no longer supportive.

#9, The Taming Power of the Small, focus line 1

This month it will pay to have increased self-restraint, and to channel your inner scout to "Always Be Prepared". We may find that minor impediments and snafus will require resourcefulness and adaptability. Life may not be giving you what you want, but you will be provided with what you need.

When a relationship begins to unravel, there is a choice point. Do you proceed consciously or unconsciously? Do you allow intuition and heart-centeredness to inform the process, or is blind rage and hurt going to be the drivers in the process, forcing you to pick up the pieces once the destruction is done and the ink is dry? Joyce and I discuss how Conscious Uncoupling can allow one to "Unravel the Past to Rewrite the Future", even if the other person isn't eager to participate. I also toss in a few tips to use your space as a way to possibly avert a separation in the first place!

While the September vibes keep on until October 7th, starting on the 8th, we can expect a lot of focus on BOUNDARIES. Have they been too firm? Do you need to loosen up a bit? Or did you slip and forget what that word even means? The Yang Fire is like the sun, lighting the way for all to see. The Dog is playful, loyal, and intelligent, but too much loyalty can be a problem too.

The overall card for October is #52, Keeping Still. Go inside to find where the ME that lives in the world with all of their expectations stops and where the ME that is the essence of who you were born to be lives. Observe your thoughts and allow yourself to renew your peace this month.

Clarifying cards:

#15, Modesty, focus line 6: It's not good form to pretend that you have all of the answers. However, you may find yourself being noticed by others for your natural leadership skills. To deny this is misplaced modesty and self-indulgent. Be clear and decisive in your thinking. Take the time to consider what is needed, then be 100% available for what must be done. Keep things as simple as possible.

#37, The Family, focus line 3: By focusing on the community you have built, the family you come from, and the intimate relationships you have fostered, you will recognize that we are all one human family. This is a good month to look at what has happened in the past, face the mistakes, take responsibility when necessary, and listen to others who have different memories of things. There is an attitude of permissiveness that has allowed many to take more and more for granted. This is the month to be clear, decisive, and even sharp with your conversations. It's preferable to hurt some feelings than to ignore a problem and allow it get larger, leading to more suffering later.

#46, Pushing Upward, focus line 2: At long last, we can reap some of the rewards of our efforts of this past year or so. This indicates that we are gaining confidence, accepting challenges, and receiving recognition. Enjoy being on the receiving end of accolades! Just be careful that you don't become too distracted by this emotional euphoria...stay grounded, keep working, and be courageous enough to reach for the stars.
