Halloween - The Ancient Celebration of The Stars

Halloween, coming up Monday, October 31, is a day set aside each year to recognize the dead are still very much alive and right here with us separated only by the thinnest vail. Children dress up in costumes of all description. We'll be seeing monsters, spooks and super stars, how ever do they choose? Perhaps they are channeling some past life?  The whole holiday encourages conversation about subjects usually tabu - death and reincarnation. It's a chance for us to talk to our kids about serious subjects in a light-hearted way and gives them a chance to bravely face fears and be rewarded with candy. At our house we invite the "Trick-or-Treaters" in and ask them to do a trick before they get a treat. It's great fun!
But it wasn't always a children's celebration...

Halloween began thousands of years ago to mark the half-way point between the equinox and the winter solstice. Back then it was a Gaelic festival called Samhain.  Performers disguised in costumes known as "Mummers" put on scary skits plus there were great roaring bonfires all to mark the end of the harvest season and to prepare the community for the beginning of the darker season of winter.

We have a "darker season" coming up now too. This week also marks the end of the extra hour of light we've had since March and Daylight Savings Time. Be sure to "fall back" by setting your clock back one hour before you go to bed next Saturday night. You may also want to invest in the bachflower remedy Walnut  which is for helping to adjust to change. (Walnut is also a great help for adjusting to different time zones when you travel btw.)

Important planetary event taking place this week:
On Wednesday night Mercury will sextile Pluto and the Moon will meet up with Venus in Sagittarius making this an excellent time to launch any new project. The Moon leaves Sagittarius the next day will be a lively trine to Uranus meaning the new projects launched may go off in unanticipated directions but the fresh ideas should work out well in the end.

Also take advantage of the happy opportunities coming Friday night November 4. The Moon will then be in Capricorn sextiling the Sun in Scorpio while Venus trines Uranus altogether giving us reliable Capricorn insights to support Venus/Uranus fun new adventures.

Should be a lively week with plenty to think about other than politics!

Happy Halloween!
