November is a month of reflection, where the pace slows, and we’re invited to turn inward, embracing the shifting energy around us. As the days grow shorter and the air becomes crisp, it’s a time to look back on the journey of the year, celebrating the growth, lessons, and experiences that have shaped us. November encourages us to honor the cycles of life—just as the trees let go of their leaves, we too can release what no longer serves us, making space for new beginnings in the months to come.

 

This is a perfect time for gratitude and introspection, allowing us to cherish the simple joys that bring warmth to our hearts. As we gather with loved ones, or simply cozy up with a warm drink, we can appreciate the small moments that bring comfort and connection. It's a season that reminds us to be present, savoring each breath of cool air and the glow of candlelight.

 

November also carries its own unique celebrations. Many cultures mark this month with festivals of remembrance and thanks—such as All Saints' Day and Thanksgiving—each offering an opportunity to honor the past, connect with our ancestors, and appreciate the abundance in our lives. It’s a beautiful time to celebrate the harvest of not only the earth but of our inner worlds, reflecting on what we’ve gathered, nurtured, and cultivated within ourselves throughout the year. Let November's gentle spirit inspire us to pause, reflect, and renew.

 

As we journey through this month of introspection, we’re excited to offer upcoming classes that align perfectly with this energy of reflection and transformation. Be sure to keep an eye out for these opportunities to deepen your spiritual practice and connect with your inner self. And stay tuned—there’s a big announcement coming your way soon that we can’t wait to share! You won't want to miss what’s in store, so keep an eye on your inbox for all the details.

November 2024 offers some intriguing astrological aspects that invite both transformation and new beginnings. The month starts with a Scorpio New Moon on November 1st, which is a perfect time for setting intentions around deep personal change and empowerment. Scorpio's energy encourages us to dive beneath the surface, making this New Moon ideal for reflecting on areas where we seek growth.

 

On November 15th, a Taurus Full Moon coincides with Saturn turning direct in Pisces. This powerful alignment brings a sense of closure to long-term projects or lessons that began during Saturn's retrograde period. The Full Moon's energy highlights stability and grounding, making it a great time to release insecurities and focus on self-worth.

 

Another significant event is Pluto's entry into Aquarius on November 19th, marking the beginning of a transformative era that will last nearly two decades. This shift emphasizes collective change, innovative thinking, and a focus on building a brighter future for the community. It's a time of redefining societal structures and embracing new ways of living.

 

Additionally, Mercury begins its retrograde in Sagittarius on November 25th, encouraging us to review and reassess plans, especially those related to learning, travel, or communication. This period, lasting until mid-December, invites a more reflective approach to ideas and how we share them with the world.

 

November's cosmic energies are rich with opportunities for reflection, transformation, and fresh starts—perfectly aligning with the theme of the month. As you reflect on these celestial shifts, keep an eye out for our upcoming classes, designed to help you navigate these energies with intention. And don't forget, we have a big announcement coming soon—stay tuned for the details!

Quote of the Month: Thanksgiving

The Crystal Corner

November 2024 Crystal

 by Leslie Treloar

“Rhodochrosite”

Self-Reflection with Rhodochrosite:  A Pathway to Love, Healing, and Empowerment
 

With its enchanting swirls of pink, red, and white, Rhodochrosite is a crystal that radiates warmth, compassion, and deep healing energy. Known for its ability to guide us inward, Rhodochrosite encourages self-reflection, helping us see our true essence and recognize our divine worth. This powerful stone begins its work within, empowering us to face old wounds, acknowledge hidden strengths, and develop a resilient sense of self.

 

Rhodochrosite’s energy connects us tenderly to our inner child, opening the heart chakra to bring fresh perspectives to past traumas and pain. This process of self-reflection enables us to release outdated coping strategies, untangle attachments to relationships that no longer serve us, and welcome a new sense of freedom. Vibrating with unconditional love, Rhodochrosite promotes forgiveness for ourselves and others, helping us to let go of past regrets and embrace self-love, confidence, and kindhearted action.

 

This crystal also nurtures self-assurance by clearing the Solar Plexus, creating a bridge between our lower and upper chakras. It strengthens self-confidence, creativity, and the courage needed to pursue dreams and reach our full potential. For those healing from heartbreak, Rhodochrosite invites love back into our lives, enhancing passion, sensuality, and trust.

 

As we focus on self-reflection in this month’s Crystal Corner, let Rhodochrosite guide you to deeper self-awareness, resilience, and a heart full of compassion.

Cardamom, with its warm and comforting aroma, embodies a sense of integrity and inner strength—qualities that resonate deeply with the energy of November. As the days grow cooler and nature invites us to slow down, cardamom encourages us to turn inward, allowing us to explore the stories and memories that shape our inner world. It serves as a gentle reminder that true healing begins with taking responsibility for our thoughts and emotions. When we find ourselves triggered, cardamom helps us recognize that the source of our suffering often lies within our own perceptions, guiding us to a space of self-awareness.

 

In this season of reflection, cardamom encourages us to look closely at the emotions that arise. Rather than pushing them away, we can use this time to sit with them, inviting each feeling to reveal the deeper memories and stories they are connected to. As we journey through this process, we may uncover past experiences that have shaped our beliefs and reactions. Cardamom supports us in this exploration, providing a sense of warmth and safety as we delve into these memories, making it easier to acknowledge the hurt, release any lingering blame, and find peace within ourselves.

 

The essence of cardamom teaches us that letting go is an act of gratitude. When we identify patterns or beliefs that no longer serve us, we can release them with a sense of appreciation for the role they played in our growth. This process is not about dismissing the past but honoring it for what it has taught us while embracing the freedom that comes from moving forward unburdened. Cardamom’s soothing presence makes this journey gentler, reminding us that the true strength of integrity lies in our willingness to face our shadows and step into the light of our truest self.

 

As we use cardamom during this reflective time, whether through inhalation, diffusing, or adding it to a warm drink, we invite a sense of clarity and calm into our lives. This essence helps us transform self-blame into self-compassion and encourages us to see our challenges as opportunities for deeper understanding. It becomes a partner in our journey of healing, guiding us to release what no longer serves, so that we may move into the closing months of the year with a lighter, more open heart.
