The Empowered Lifestyle

There are simply lots of swell things that I can say about this not so turkey of a month. It might even be a holiday time unlike in years past where you had to fake it ‘till you made it (and you know exactly what years I’m referring to too!) That’s right, this November might really offer both a reason and an excuse to be truly and authentically full of gratitude and thanks. And happiness too. There I said it. And I’m standing by that sentiment and the statement too. Look, every month has some kind of poop energies attached, and, well, this one won’t be any different. I mean we’re not living the Thousand Years of Peace yet. But the majority of November holds golden and russet opportunities to spend quality time around good friends and quantity time around good food, which is why, I would guess, that the Feng Shui Masters say you have to get out and exercise as much as possible. I guess we’ll muscle our way to great fortunes and good gravy. Put on the sneakers and get out of doors for a POWER WALK. Clear the head. The heart and cholesterol will presumably follow. Want to know what else those wise and wily Masters have to say about November 2009? Well, it’s the month of the Wooden Pig so the influence of the heavy earth element should ever sooo slowly start to weaken making the stock market grow ever sooo slowly stronger. Have I steered you wrong yet? Nope! That would be because this stuff is eerily accurate. As the wood element hardens everything heads higher. Oh, get your minds out of the gutter will ya? I know sometimes that’s hard to do. Um, I mean….oh, never mind. I’ll blame it on the fact that we are entrenched inside Scorpio’s sexy, sultry, seductive energies. At least until Sag comes calling.

The Masters do still warn however that it would be wise to watch for some conflicts and uncertainty. Want to know when? Keep reading/see below. This can be a completely peace-FULL period if you keep some calming water nearby or just find time to soak in same. We’re well advised to listen to soothing and relaxing music as much as possible too. Somebody lock up the Guitar Hero, okay? Generosity rules the day and ignoring petty people will help to get you through the night. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. In fact, ignoring the ignorant will boost your luck and your spirits. Traveling can do that exact same thing. This year, going over the river and through the woods might just make your Lexipro a pill of the past. Here’s a look into this month’s future:

NOVEMBER 1 End of Daylight Savings Time give us less time to talk to anyone, which will be, believe me, a VERY good thing. Keeping it zipped will keep all the good energies buttoned up while holding those snappy ones at bay. Remember how your mother used to warn that if you couldn’t say anything nice than you shouldn’t say anything at all? Follow the last part of that piece in order to stay happy, healthy and whole on this day! This would be the PERFECT time to take that special soak. Add one tablespoon of sesame oil to the bath water. Place two tablespoons of uncooked rice and one unpeeled, chopped raw potato in a net and suspend that in the water. Now, lie down and while keeping your eyes closed concentrate on the end of your coccyx while massaging the soles of your feet. Taoist magic bath. Banishes all the stress bought on by all those pains in the….well, you know, you’re thinking about them as you use your secret acupressure. Totally cool.

NOVEMBER 2 Full Moon in Taurus and Venus trines Neptune? Full creativity in Full bloom during this Full Moon. Take advantage. Play that aforementioned relaxing music today while you write your next opus. Trust me, there’s a special time later this month to send those efforts (you know I have to say it right?) to the moon Alice, to the moon! Remember that anything Mozart plucks your proverbial creative strings. Pens up….drumroll please. I said ‘please.’

NOVEMBER 4 Actually, there are no important planetary energies today but there is the most important birthday ever…my son turns 14 today. He’s the light of my soul. Just thought I’d share.

NOVEMBER 7 Venus, sexy starry goddess of looooove, meets up with Scorpio, secret sexual lovuh of the Zodiac. Sparks fly. So should you. Hang up your hang ups and go find your hook up. Put a pink star somewhere you can see it all day long. Then go out tonight and shine, baby, shine.

NOVEMBER 8 Mercury the Master Communicator picking a fight with ‘I ain’t done nothin’’ Jupiter; that big old generous giver of gifts and luck. Why oh why Mercury did you have to go and start something that we all have to finish? Keep an open container of sea salt nearby. Absorbs the negative. Leave it there for 27 days too. Then throw it away…far, far away.

NOVEMBER 9 Here comes that vixen Venus again and this time she’s bringing her billfold with her. Venus and Pluto putting a really solid financial plan in place and advising you to do the exact same thing. Here’s how I put my financial plans in place: Nine one dollar bills and 99 coins affixed to a red background in a gold frame and placed in your ‘Wealth’ area. $$$$$$$$$$ Hey, better than Madoff right?

NOVEMBER 11 Veterans Day! And all the while Mercury is playing nicey-nice with unpredictable Uranus. Ahhhh, finally! You are clever and charming and witty and, well, think Dorothy Parker sipping something Tanqueray while holding court at her Round Table. Look it might not be the Algonquin but you should sure as shootin’ take your charismatic ass out tonight! And wear the ‘Come To Me’ oil..find that recipe on my blog post today at www.ellenwhitehurst.com.

NOVEMBER 14 The SUPER STELLAR DAY of November! Find out why and what to do when you sign up for the newsletter at www.ellenwhitehurst.com. After all, that’s the only place you’ll find this oh so important info! Makes you one of the empowered elite…oh la elite!

NOVEMBER 15 Mercury enters Sag and then Sagittarius squares Pluto…oh what a fine mess this weaves. Be careful of the mean streets. And all the meanies walking down ‘em. Stay far away from The Fray, unless of course you’re learning How To Save A Life. But, for today, just remember that the life you save just might be your own. Keep to yourself. Stare at the sun anytime during the day and pull that bright and shining energy into the center of the palms of each hand. See the golden light traveling through and penetrating every single cell in your whole body. You’re invincible. It’s everyone else who’s a sour dumpling.

NOVEMBER 16 New Moon in Scorpio. Oh la mysterious. And pretty magical too. Teach your children well. And learn your own lessons too. They’ll come in handy when it comes time to graduate to next levels. Nothing to do today except embrace.

NOVEMBER 19 Venus putting up her dukes and taking pot shots at her lovuh, Mars! Uh oh. You just can’t win. No matter how hard you try to hold your ground. You’ll just sink further and further into the quicksand. Get unstuck and then stay flexible. Give in once in awhile…today would be that ‘awhile.’ You owe me BIG for this one. Send your ‘higher self’ to have a conciliatory conversation with their ‘higher self’ and see if the two of you back here on earth aren’t getting along like a house afire before too very long. Now that’s hot.

NOVEMBER 24 Sun SEXtiles Saturn. All the energies come off the life support they’ve been on the last few days. Mouth to mouth takes on a whole new meaning. This is the day that creative project gets a rocket boost as well. Speaking of rockets, put an image of a rocket blasting into space anywhere inside your FAME area. Watch those plans and projects soar!

NOVEMBER 25 Venus and Uranus sittin’ in a tree...this is THE date night of November. And you thought those other awesome energies were outrageous. Just wait. No, don’t wait! Get out there and mingle, mingle, mingle. If you can’t be with the one you love, honey, well, you know the rest right? And you just might want to revisit that ‘Come to Me’ oil recipe. Uh huh.

NOVEMBER 26 Oh so thankful that the planets are so darn peaceful and being so pretty to each other. Wait...so are we! Good feelings served up alongside good food. Everybody filled full to the brim! So sorry Tom Wolfe, but this Thanksgiving you really can go home again. Don’t forget to carry an image of the Mystic Knot to make those travels smooth and easy. Same sorts of feelings will follow.

NOVEMBER 30 Mercury squaring off against Uranus. Oh c’mon you two, we just had pie together for goodness sakes. Cut it out. Okay, okay, be careful today alright? Drive safely and pay attention to what’s going on around you. No matter who won the Bowl games. You might even want to rage against the machine today. But that’ll only be because it’s probably not working again. Place a clear quartz crystal on top of it for at least a few/three hours. That’ll do more to get it going again then any swift kick ever could. Save your shoes.
