111: Operation Manifestation

"To keep going in baseball, you have to learn all the time.  I love to play.  When I can't get outs, I'll stop."

-Fernando Valenzuela

November 1st marks the 111 New Moon portal in intense Scorpio.  It is likely that we have already experienced that pull to take action, as this sign, like ambitious Aries, is also ruled by Mars.  This means we've taken on a "warrior's mentality", and are given that essential boost of morale to take on what we've been holding back on.  Whether it's a engaging in a new project or undertaking steps towards changing life circumstances for the better, such vibrant energy is just the encouragement we need.  The portal is due to stay open for another couple of days or so.  Even with it closing then, our inspiration will continue to burn on, so as long as we close the chapter of our past, and venue forth moving forward.  It's time for us to forgive ourselves and others, and take ownership of what we can control; which is our thoughts, feelings, and actions.  Never mind what the "other" guy is doing.  What are WE doing?

Thank you and good night.

P.S. Today is also Fernando Valenzuela's birthday (November 1, 1960).  He would have turned 64.  That World Series Championship Parade today in LA was for you, my friend.  There are no accidents in this Universe.  Rest in Power, "El Toro".
