Dominos All Fall Down, Your Astrocast 11/2-11/8
Deck: Tarot of the Cat People available here.
Blessings mystics and seekers!
We start the week off with one of my favorite holidays, Dia De Los Muertos. I was married on the beach of Ricon De Guyabitos on this day in 2012. It is such a special time for us to honor our ancestors and those who are no longer with us. I hope all of you have been able to find this time to find peace and serenity amongst the chaos that has been these last few weeks. The shooting of Walter Wallace Jr. is devastating, and it feels so infuriating that we as a nation have made such little progress towards justice in our own country for our own citizens. Or so it feels that way, this whole year coming to an end is hard to wrap my mind around.
Over all there is a lot of tension in the astrological climate this week. Election week is upon us and on November 3rd, the day of the election, Mercury stations direct in Libra and Venus makes a tense and powerful inconjunct to Uranus in Taurus. Uranus is the planet that rules surprises and things that are unexpected. With Venus making an aspect to Uranus today, we may have some unexpected or shocking news in the days following our election. It's hard to make predictions when planets such as Uranus have a modus operandi of being unpredictable.
There is a collective anxiety that has been building over the last few weeks as we experience the tension within our power structures and the pressure to choose a side that may still not feel in alignment with our higher selves. I have had a lot of interactions as well as sessions with clients over this Mercury retrograde cycle that have eluded to the fact that everyone is feeling incredibly ungrounded and unsafe in their world. This collective fear and anxiety is happening on a large scale which can heighten our anxiety when we are sensitive to the energy of others. This is a hard time for empaths right now as we embark on this intuitive feeling that this is not the end of the hard times. It is important for us to use this intuition as a way to make choices in our lives that help set us up in a strong way to face adversity with strength and resilience. That journey will look different for all of us.
With the overall astrology of the week, I think it's safe to say that there will be some collective anxiety and anger in the atmosphere. Regardless of who wins this election, there will be some upheaval and frustration that the collective is under. Find a way to ground yourself and take some space to rejuvenate where you can. This is a good week to do a social media detox and reorganize your thoughts and feelings so that you can regain a sense of personal empowerment in who you are, perhaps away from the collective.
