November Recap

 November started out with me going on vacation and enjoying my birthday and and my hubby's birthday. Our birthdays are 4 days apart so we share the celebration together. I also share my birthday with my twin brother John. He traveled down with his boyfriend Don and their friend Randy to celebrate our day.

P

We went to Azul Tequila for dinner and drinks and was song Happy Birthday in Spanish by the staff. We even got free tequila shots😁

The next day was our birthday and my hubby went to  the store to pick up our cake. I manage the bakery department in the store and one of my cake decorators did an awesome job on our cake.

The guys came back over with presents.

After cake and presents, the boys and I headed to Battle Creek. We were gonna go to Binder Park Zoo but the were closed for the season. So we found a nature park to walk around in. It was close to 70 degrees on our birthday so it made for a beautiful walk.

We stopped for a lunch and had some drinks and then stopped by our sister Paula's apartment to visit for a bit. I had a really great birthday.

Samhain Altar

My altar space is right across from my side of the bed. I can lay in my bed and look at this all day. I find peace and strength when I'm around it. My parents and my husband's parents pictures are incorporated in the space. This will be their permanent home. This is my first time having a specific Sabbat altar. I will be lighting my candles for my loved ones on Oct. 31st and letting them know I love them and miss them.😊🤗

Halloween/Samhain will soon be here and I can't wait. Setting up my Samhain alter tomorrow. Going to rearrange my space that sits across from my side of the bed. It needs dusting anyway😜. I have a vision in my mind for it so let's see if it comes to reality. I think a nice cup of hot tea will help with the magic. Will post pictures when I I finally decide that it's perfect... Might take me all day😂🔮👻🦂

October 2020 Happenings🎃

October 2020 Happenings! ✨

Overall October is a very busy month, the tension for change has been building and will continue to build throughout October. There will be some opportunities for release and solutions the 2nd half of the month. With a lot of shifts, grounding techniques will be important this month. Enjoy the Halloween Blue Moon. ✨

October 1st: Full Moon in Aries-heal wounds of identity and of self. Restless moon.

October 2nd: Venus moves into Virgo: How we show love becomes tinged with the details, nice acts of service, wanting to be helpful, wanting to be perfect.

October 4th: Pluto goes Direct: Pluto stationing direct will bring things out of the shadows of our shadows and a chance to bring to light what we have been uncovering.

October 9th: Mars square Pluto: be careful of tension relating to power struggles. Try to keep anger and aggression in balance and be careful of others.

October 13th: Mercury goes retrograde: Time for Mercury shenanigans, re assess, re do, re think things.

October 16th: New Moon in Libra-tension for growth, ready for growth. There is a way to balance unpleasant things.

October 22nd: Sun moves into Scorpio: the month becomes tinged with intensity, deeper connections, seeing behind the curtains.

October 27th:Mercury renters Libra: Moving from Scorpio to Libra, we move into re balancing things.

October 27th: Venus moves into Libra: Venus is dignified here, how we show love is all about balance, grace, beauty, art. Intellectual connections.

October 31st: Full moon-Blue moon in Taurus-indulging our needs. Prepare for the unexpected. ⚡
