Starscope: November / December 2001

For all signs: On both a world and personal level we are moving into a time period of choosing either self-transformation or self-destruction. When upset at the behaviors of others, we must be willing to see their viewpoint and to look for any dark behaviors we have chosen not to see or to justify. During the next two months you will have opportunity to do your own self-inventory and look at your own negativity and failures. Be willing to forgive and love yourself. Until you reach the point of self-love and self-forgiveness, it will be impossible to truly love and forgive anyone else. With inner love flowing from you, it will then be possible to overcome pride and communicate in a way that resolves conflict and finds win-win solutions for all.
Messages for Individual Signs:

^Aries - Check in with yourself on how much you have been able to honor differences in values and money management. Be willing to compromise.

_Taurus - The shadow part of Taurus can be passive aggressive behavior, letting others appear to be the bad guy. Others can get angry when they feel set up. `Gemini - Watch what you are saying. Words are like a double-edged sword, they can harm and they can heal. Practice speaking with love and look for win-win solutions.

aCancer - You have a tendency to overwork to get others to respect and love you, then carry anger at those who seem to have everything handed to them. When you speak that anger, it pushes others way. Practice doing and saying only what nurtures all and let yourself receive without feeling that you have earned it.

bLeo - You carry some trauma and hidden anger from your family or past life roots that affect your ability to express and receive love. Your environment can trigger your shadow parts and also be part of the transformation / healing process. The Feng Shui techniques of using the home as a vehicle for healing would be especially helpful at this time.

cVirgo - Your shadow comes out in your defense of what you believe to be important. Avoid being overly critical. Remember that all words, written or spoken, are only opinions based on a limited perspective. As more information is constantly revealed by the Universe, the opinions must change.

dLibra - You need to be liked. But, in maintaining you own self image as the hero, the diplomat, there is often a hidden side that either sets up someone else as a villain or creates conflicts between others that you can resolve. Look for win-win.

eScorpio - You strength and your struggle is that you are always existing in the intensity of a birthing process. Life can feel like a dark and painful rejection or the joy of the creation about to emerge. All will experience this at times, but because you live it every moment, you can develop the wisdom to guide others.

fSagittarius - You desire to share your opinions based on your own research and life experiences, but the positive or negative effect on others will depend on your ability to see and accept your own shadow.

gCapricorn - Like a lion tamer in a cage you tend to surround yourself with friends and groups who represent your own shadow parts. Life remains a struggle as long as you use all your energy trying to help and fix others and neglect yourself. Healing love has to start within and flow outward in ripples, received and magnified next by those closest to you, then spread on to embrace all others.

hAquarius You project your personal shadow parts to the whole world, and focus on the global rather than personal issues. The world can best be fixed one person at a time. If you cannot deeply love yourself and one person, how can you really love all the unseen people of the world?

iPisces - You can be dominated by the opinions and feelings of others until you learn to communicate effectively. Be willing to share the psychic, spiritual information you are capable of receiving. Test the source or validity of your information based on it's recognition of resolving different points of view through love, forgiveness, and self responsibility.
