Divination And The Element Of Air
Various ancient cultures, metaphysical traditions and mystical teachings identify five elements that constitute the world we live in. In Western occult traditions, these elements are typically arranged in the hierarchical order of spirit (aether), fire, air, water, and earth.
Spirit or aether is the nonphysical element (or ‘fifth element’) that serves as a bridge between the physical and the metaphysical realms. Spirit is the bridge between the body and soul.
Fire is the masculine element representing inner strength, transformative power, courage, protection, purification, and assertive action.
Air is the element associated with creativity, knowledge, learning, mental intention and the universal life force.
Water is the feminine element of emotion, intuition, inner reflection and the subconscious.
Earth represents grounding, stability, fertility, family roots, and the cycles of death and rebirth.
Air is my favorite element in spiritual practice, as is associated with ideas, concepts, inspiration, and innovative thinking. It is also the element of wisdom and divination.
Working with the air element sharpens ideas, enhances experiments, and paves the way for new inventions. Musicians and artists are typically inspired by the element of air. Air is however a fickle element as it can come as a gale-force hurricane, or a calm, soothing breeze…just like our thoughts.
Astrology Forecast November 14 – 20, 2022
Leo Moon energy has us in high gear for the first three days of this week, encouraging us to be more assertive and proactive in reaching for our dreams.
If you commute to work, be on the lookout for potential road ragers or aggressive people on public transport when you make your way home Tuesday afternoon, as the Leo Moon square with Uranus in Taurus could cause people to become extremely moody, irritable and unstable. Also avoid getting into an argument with your partner or spouse, as things could turn really nasty very quickly! The Leo Moon opposition with Saturn in Aquarius Tuesday night may add even more fuel to this fire, so it may be a good idea to avoid unnecessary drama at home by going to bed early.
Venus will move into Sagittarius on Wednesday, bringing out our light-hearted side as we begin to prepare for the holidays. Creativity will be heightened for the next six weeks, encouraging us to invent new traditions, create home-made gifts, and find innovative ways to celebrate the Christmas season that lies ahead.
Mercury will join Venus in Sagittarius on Thursday, adding even more fuel to the fire, as we let our imagination soar!
Thursday and Friday’s Virgo Moon will bring out our organizing side, encouraging us to start putting a detailed plan together for the weeks ahead. This Moon is also ideal for attending to important health and financial matters that need to be addressed.
A lovely Libra Moon transits this weekend, reminding us to embrace the beauty in our world and embrace an attitude of gratitude. It will be a good time to regroup, rebalance and relax.
Astrology Forecast November 7 – 13, 2022
Tomorrow the Taurus Full Moon eclipse marks the second lunar eclipse in two weeks, setting us up for a major energy shift and a new focus for the next six months. Because it occurs in Taurus, it presents us with a golden opportunity to devise new plans, strategies or goals to improve our financial prosperity and our physical and mental health well into the first quarter of 2023. Be wise and make good use of this energy influence.
Today and tomorrow’s Taurus Moon make for a productive start to the week, allowing us to address anything that’s been on the back burner or at the bottom of our to-do list.
Wednesday through Friday we’ll be spending more time than usual on the information highway, as the Gemini Moon encourages us to do research, develop new ideas, and reach out to collaborate with others. There’s power in numbers, so join forces with others to make the most progress.
If you currently have unresolved conflict or tension with a loved one, friend or relative, then the Gemini Moon trine with Saturn in Aquarius this Wednesday evening provides the ideal opportunity to have that talk and settle the matter. This transit makes us feel mentally strong and helps us to better control our emotions. It will also be a good time to talk about money matters and make financial decisions.
An easy and flowing weekend awaits under the Cancer Moon, encouraging us to focus on self-care, restoring order to our surroundings, and immersing ourselves in creative and self-care activities.
Astrology Forecast October 31 – November 6, 2022
Today may start off feeling like it will be a blue Monday, with the Capricorn Moon conjunction with Pluto casting a gloomy, dispirited shadow this morning. This transit is notorious for making us feel moody and even depressed. Also avoid discussing your taxes or money issues with your partner this morning, as it could lead to an explosive argument!
Aim to keep your cool until mid-morning when the Capricorn Moon sextile with Jupiter in Pisces will improve our mood and open up new energies for business opportunities and money-making possibilities.
The Moon shifts into Aquarius later today and transit this constellation for the first three days of this week. With this aspect we can count on some changes in direction and new ways of thinking. We’ll have to guard against moving in rash ways or making steadfast decisions under this influence. However, we’ll be presented with some unusual ideas and opportunities we can put into practice in the near future.
Thursday and Friday unfold under a Pisces Moon, where our intuition and spiritual practices take center stage. Even without all the facts, we can move with our hearts and trust that Spirit is directing the traffic.
The weekend will most likely be our most productive part of the week, as the Moon travels through action-oriented Aries and will have us prepping for the change of season, attending to household repairs, or joining others in fun adventures. Whatever activities we decide to fill our weekend with, being a couch potato should ideally not be one of them.
Astrology Forecast October 24 – 30, 2022
Today’s Libra Moon sets the scene with an air of balance and harmony. The Libra Moon’s trine with Saturn in Aquarius this morning, as well as its conjunction with Mercury in Libra by midday, makes today an excellent time to conduct business, with productive meetings, effortless financial decisions and powerful sales presentations inspired by mental sharpness and sound judgment.
The highlights of this week are tomorrow’s Scorpio New Moon and a Solar Eclipse. The first of two eclipses (the second occurring in Taurus on November 8th), this celestial event opens the door to change, calling for us to go internal for a few weeks to look more closely at our feelings, our spiritual beliefs, and our intentions for the future.
The Moon will continue to wade through Scorpio on Wednesday, setting the tone for our spiritual transformation.
A lighter energy will prevail on Thursday and Friday as the Moon dances through fun-loving Sagittarius, encouraging us to embrace the festivities of Halloween and Samhain, the Celtic festival this holiday is named for.
Mercury will move into Scorpio on Saturday, turning our focus to all things spiritual and metaphysical for the next few weeks.
On Sunday, Mars, the planet of action and assertiveness, will turn retrograde and travel backward for the next two months. This planet typically only goes retrograde every other year, so this cycle will have us going back and reviewing our movements, actions, and dreams to make sure we are operating in the most effective and authentic ways possible.
Astrology Forecast October 17 – 23, 2022
The Sun is spending its last week in Libra, so keep your focus on love, relationships, and balance.
Today’s Cancer Half Moon could make us feel more sensitive than usual and cause arguments and interpersonal problems at work. So, it’s important to take everything with a grain of salt and don’t make it personal. Think carefully before you react.
Fortunately, the Cancer Moon trine with Neptune in Pisces will increase our levels of empathy, so tap into your caring side instead and try to understand the other person’s point of view, instead of overreacting and taking it personally.
Tomorrow and Wednesday the Moon will venture through Leo, inspiring us to be more generous and heart-based. We’ll be in the benevolent mood to give and share, but be careful not to ignore your own needs in the process.
Thursday through Saturday the Moon charges through Virgo, bringing out our penchant for organization and details. The only warning here is not to get caught up in ideals or become too nit-picky. Keep your eye on the bigger picture and do not sweat the small stuff!
Saturn turns direct on Saturday, ending its four-month retrograde period and calling for us to restore discipline and order to our schedules. Combined with the Virgo Moon, we may spend most of Saturday clearing out clutter, tossing out things that no longer serve us, or planning a new project.
The Sun will move into Scorpio on Sunday, followed closely by Venus. With these two planets in the sign of the Scorpion for the next four weeks, our love of the spiritual, the mysterious, and the unusual will seek expression.
