The energy of change continues as a primary focus for each of us in unique ways, and collectively as we head toward the November elections and a change in our national leadership. For my husband Russ and myself, we sold our home and moved into a new one on the 2nd, a key reason this newsletter is late this month! We look forward to the day when we are not dependent on timely phone, internet, and satellite service, and will joyfully embrace not having to re-connect computers and faxes, amplifiers and receivers from the spaghetti that we call technology! Assuming, of course, that the technology were working correctly, but that's another story!

At the beginning of each month, I like to bring you an awareness of the Mayan Galactic Tone and the energy we usher in. We begin October under the Mayan Sun Sign of "Flint/Etznab" and the number 9, representing Patience: While 9 is a number of completion, this month the energy also asks us to see the bigger picture, and that perseverance is also required, according to http://www.mayanmajix.com/TZOLKIN/index.php

Libra looks to balance opposing forces this month, a topic we'll discuss in my monthly ‘Connection Call' on the 14^th. Check out October's It's In The Stars Column.

Focus for the Month:... "Moving Through Change" 

We're all experiencing the energy of movement in our lives, though its manifestation differs from one person to another. When caught in a current of change that feels uncomfortable, we can find ourselves grasping at anything to provide a false sense of security. We've all known that the old paradigms had to fall away to make room for a new, uplifted consciousness and way of being. When caught up in a moment of doubt, or fear, center yourself, move your awareness to your heart, and ask yourself "What is the highest Truth for me in this situation?" Breathe deeply, and use this month's Affirmation.

Affirmation for October:

I Choose In This Moment To Know That I Am Lovingly Supported, Protected, Encouraged And Guided By The Grace Of God, And I Trust That All Is Unfolding Now To Support My Highest Purpose.

This Month, We Recommend....We always appreciate it when you share special stuff with us....so we can share it with others!

Those who have heard me lecture before know that I jokingly refer to the ‘very convincing nature of illusion' as it often presents itself to us. Last month in this column, I talked about the commitment of believing and how we can move through illusion, and by holding fast to our desired vision, see the results manifest in our lives. Russ and I had a perfect example of this experience recently which I'd like to share with you here.

In the process of simplifying our lives and downsizing a bit, we sold our home, got rid of some stuff, and took our antique car to auction in Charlotte, NC at Loew's Motor Speedway. Russ had lovingly cared for the car - a 1950 Ford Convertible - similar to the one he owned when he was just 19. After an extensive and expensive restoration that took a couple of years, it was clearly time to find it a new home, even though we would never recoup our full investment.

Drama ensued almost immediately upon our arrival, and the clear choice was to take the high road, no pun intended. The first day of the auction, bidders were scarce, and there were many beautiful cars that did not meet their reserves. This was day two of the event, and our Ford would go on the block the next afternoon. I suggested to Russ that we stay focused on our intent -the right buyer, at the right price, at the right time - and the car would be sold. Regardless of the picture that was being presented to us, we could choose to stay firmly committed in our desire. Even thought the economy was tanking, financial markets were suffering, and there was a lot of competition.

The next day we arrived at the Speedway, and looking up, saw an Angel in the clouds looming large over the track. Russ and I both saw it, and we knew we were being watched over, cared for, and that we would be receiving what we wished for. How many of the thousands of people who came that morning looked to the sky and saw the sign?

I had tuned in, and saw a picture of the person who would be bidding on the car, telling Russ he wore a yellow shirt and had a panama hat. When our Ford pulled up on stage, our hearts were pounding. The auctioneer started the bidding, callers were shouting, the dollar figure kept rising, climbing slowly toward our goal. The man bidding on the car wore a yellow shirt, though he had taken his hat off.

In the end, the person who bought our car owns the two Ford dealerships in Blacksburg, Virginia, home of Virginia Tech.....the car is maroon, their Football team's colors....and he plans to drive it to every home game. Perfect person, perfect home. And I can tell you, perfect outcome.

Indeed, Angels are always watching over us if we'll only look to see that they are there.

May you see the angels around you today....

There's a reason I talk about what's going on in the heavens each month -  we are part of a larger system, a larger connective body that includes all the planets. We are affected by the relationships and movements within our solar system, and what happens here, spirals out into galaxies farther than we can imagine.

Happy Birthday Librans! Your keyword is "I Balance", and your ruling planet is Venus. As such, Librans can be quite charming and have a deep appreciation for things of beauty. The energy of balance is reflected this month as we seek to find balance in our own lives between those opposing aspects tugging at us from different directions. The currents of energy we choose will dictate our experience.

We have two meteor events this month: on the 9^th, the Draconid's can be seen in the late evening in the southern sky, associated with the Giacobini-Zinner comet, but that will be light at only 6 per hour. Later, on the 21^st-22^nd, we can see the Orionid's in the Predawn southern sky associated with the famous Halley Comet.

The Full Moon occurs in Aries on the 14^th at 4:02pm, and Mercury goes direct on October 15^th, so you can expect to see movement in projects that have seemed to be standing still. Uranus and Neptune remain in retrograde in Pisces and Aquarius, respectively.

Expect the unexpected around the 15^th of the month, and remember to see through illusion to the Higher Truth of our collective spiritual journey.

The sun enters Scorpio on the 22^nd, and we can look forward to uncovering what lies beneath the surface.
