Musings and Meanderings: November 2025

Art by Leonora Carrington 

​Words, words, words, as Henry Higgins said. We talk to hear ourselves most of the time. The tone, thoughts and vibrations are reassuring to our soul and psyche. It is also a part of conscious understanding to try and see the unconscious. As we observe an ache or pain, perhaps rub it a bit, we also observe our thoughts and emotions. To analyze this is a strong part of our purpose.

As we move towards the darkest day of the year, we notice shadows more. Is time speeding up? The earth may be spinning faster? As this is an asset in our competitive culture, at times we cannot hold the atoms together.

Perhaps the five planets in retrograde are a bit helpful, to aid us in having a second look.

Saturn and Neptune in Aries may have contradictory desires but it will be interesting and exciting. Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini will complement the rapid changes and innovation booming.

There are many tricks and disciplines that observes this desire for peace and calm. It is the time it takes, that is frustrating. Do you remember “patience is a virtue, virtue is a grace etc…”? 

Remember, that which we worry about, usually disperses within a day or two. Sing a happy song, dance in a way to loosen up.
