OCTOBER 2021 NEWSLETTER
By Laurie Naughtin www.sublunar.co.za
October we will experience a slow beginning as 4 planets are hardly moving. But as we reach the middle of October the planets will start to change their motion and this in itself is a potent phenomenon.
It is a feeling that we are now free of certain restrictions but not really sure how to manage this sudden freedom, especially as it is 4 times the energy we are used to.
Mercury and Jupiter are both about travel, I am hoping that restrictions to travel over the oceans will ease and we will see more Jets in the sky.
Pluto and Saturn both represent powerful controlling energy, retrograde it felt as if authority was toothless and lost, hopefully the right decisions can now be made so that the structure of life can continue to repair and grow.
In our personal capacity we need to take action start living the life we desire, make changes, and put in structures. Hold ups will be less frequent so we have no excuse to procrastinate.
After so many retrogrades we are feeling exhausted, tired, and depressed, but this hold on life is beginning to release and we should pull ourselves together and be open to survive whatever path we find ourselves.
Face the truth of your situation and get rid of any negative draining energy, or people. Sometimes holding onto to your version of the truth may not serve you; it is reality we need to face to get ahead.
Easy times are not yet on the cards, but the ability to manage what has ended or destroyed our way of life is definitely there for those with the drive to start over. The hard times are certainly not over; many challenges still face us in this new post covid life. Uncertainty is still running the show, but there are more positive answers than negative.
Ironically the planets that put us into a state of lockdown are dispersing and slowly separating, lockdown will become less severe, this will mean commerce and travel will once again start to improve the economy.
The mistrust in those of authority or knowledge of science of covid and vaccines will begin to wane as more and more research becomes evident, especially with Jupiter going direct in Aquarius an innovative air sign. Many more will begin to make informed decisions.
This Month and next many of us will have to face our own truth, we will need to listen to authority or make a choice to walk our own paths, the plants are direct so we can have freedom are choice in the direction we wish to go.
Sometimes we need to let go of certain fixed belief systems and find our own truth, in this new way of life, that is not clouded by nonsense or the belief of others.
This is a month of self discovery of owning our truth and not being bullied by a truth others are forcing onto us. Bullies are very prominent, avoid them.
Sometimes I pick up that people want to run, some to hide, but sadly we have nowhere to run to, so we need to dig deep to transform our own centre of being and become a lot more practical about life and how it is controlling us.
Universal law is very powerful and if we flaunt it, we will experience a push back in direction. So within the structure we have available to us, we can have freedom to think and act. Waiting for a better tomorrow is not going to happen unless we personally make it a better tomorrow.
We certainly do need to do some deep research about where we are heading in the future; we cannot be in a hurry as there is a big unknown hanging over us, but we can investigate certain reality paths and make our lives work within the parameters of universal law.
We may find this a month of confusion, indecision and find ourselves caught up in many debates that are more often than not, disagreeable and end up in arguments.
We start the Month with a New Moon in Libra and emotionally we want to get on and connect with others in a diplomatic and pleasant manner, try to adopt this way of being. If you want pleasant emotional experiences, rather opt out of heavy debates that honestly are not going anywhere. Try to understand both points of view, we all have the right of an opinion, so you will get upset if your opinion is not respected, mention this and end the discussion.
With so much uncertainty in the air how can we expect any real form of clever debate amongst us everyday people. Leave it to the experts I say, even they cannot come to any form of intelligent consensus..
The planets are not comfortable and we can see this with erupting volcanoes and extreme weather worldwide. My one teacher mentioned that when we experience bad weather we can expect to experience political unrest. So true!
This uneasy planetary energy is affecting our own personal microcosm, waking up feeling so uneasy every day is draining, but to understand that we are all affect by what is going on around us at least helps us manage this uncomfortable feeling we carry around and helps us understand why people around us are not behaving well..
Mercury being retrograde most of this month advises we do not do anything silly with our money or are tempted into impulse buying. Repair broken relationships and avoid travel. Not a great time to start something new with so many planets at a standstill. It is a time to consider and investigate new exciting opportunities.
This is a month where we need to pause and to re-connect with that happy part of you that has been lost somewhere along the way in these torrid times. Take a time out to reflect on yourself, polish your aura and rebirth a better you.
MEDICALLY SPEAKING
Tired and Lazy
It is the time of the year and together with all mentioned above, we are feeling tired and crave that couch in front of the T V.
Let’s look at some tips to overcome this lethargic feeling:
I am a great believer of setting goals, but it is important that the goals are manageable and realistic. Create a plan of action with time added for inevitable delays.
One of the most exhausting energy sucking things we do is trying to be perfect, it is not human, so don’t aim for perfection, aim for satisfaction. Be positive when you are chatting to yourself, negative self talk is a terrible thing to do to yourself. Rather have a little personal giggle with anything silly you have done, no one is perfect.
Understand your strengths, build them up, and use them every day. When you have accomplished something give yourself positive recognition and if you are floundering, remember asking for help is strength and enables others to feel great about themselves.
Avoid negative people, distractions and addictive behaviour that is time wasting.
Get some fresh basil or basil oil, it is great for boosting mental activity; it can increase our ability to think and reason. it is also great for memory loss.
Hmmm I think I am going to buy a basil pot plant for my desk and nibble on a leafe every now and then.
Take care and be safe at all times.
