November 9 through November 15, 2026

Monday opens with a Scorpio new Moon, setting the stage for a two-week cycle of new beginnings. We’ll want to make a wish on this moon, focusing on long-held dreams we’d like to manifest into being. Tuesday and Wednesday, we could find ourselves a bit accident-prone under the Sagittarius Moon, as we’ll tend to move in erratic or thoughtless ways. We’ll want to pay closer attention and take things slowly to make the most progress. Though the Capricorn Moon on Thursday and Friday will help us stay grounded, we’ll have two planets changing direction, which could challenge us to remain focused and clear. On Friday, both Mercury and Venus will return to direct motion after three weeks and six weeks, respectively. Changes in direction can often have us reversing decisions or changing our feelings about something, so these are things to watch for in the next few weeks. As the Moon holds sway in Aquarius over the weekend, we’ll opt for spending more time with friends and family, or looking for some new and exciting places to explore!

How to Interpret Signs and Symbols from the Universe with a Pendulum, by Karina Muller and Lana Gendlin

(Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)

In the vast tapestry of existence, there is a language beyond words, a communication system as old as time itself. It's the language of the Universe. The Universe is constantly communicating with us, offering insights, miracles, and blessings in the form of signs and symbols.

But what exactly are signs and symbols, and how do they communicate with us? At their core, signs are events or occurrences that point us toward something. They can be subtle or overt, personal or universal, but they all carry significance beyond their immediate appearance. Symbols, on the other hand, are visual or auditory representations that hold deeper meanings.

The Universe communicates with us in myriad ways, offering guidance, wisdom, and insight for those of us who are willing to listen. Here are some examples of signs and symbols of messages from the Universe:

1. Animal Messengers: Many cultures believe that animals serve as messengers from the spiritual realm, offering guidance and protection to those who encounter them. Whether it's the appearance of a majestic eagle soaring overhead or the silent presence of a wise owl in the night, animals can convey profound messages from the Universe.
2. Numbers and Numerology: Numbers carry symbolic significance across many cultures and spiritual traditions. From the ancient wisdom of numerology to the synchronistic appearance of Angel Numbers, which are repeating number sequences (such as 11:11 or 333), numbers are always guiding us on our spiritual path. They often show up to send us a specific message, which always happens in divine time.
3. Dreams and Visions: Dreams have long been regarded as portals to the subconscious. Paying attention to the symbols and themes that arise in our dreams can offer profound insights into our inner world and the guidance of the Universe.
4. Synchronicities: Synchronicities are meaningful coincidences that defy conventional explanation, hinting at the interconnectedness of all things. Whether it's encountering a long-lost friend in a foreign city or stumbling upon a book that holds the answers to your deepest questions, synchronicities remind us that there are no accidents and all is orchestrated by something larger than ourselves.
5. Physical Objects: Oftentimes, our guides and angels place something of significance in our path that ignites awareness. These signs can come in the form of feathers, coins, or anything else that holds value for us. These are signs to pay attention to.
6. Electrical Manipulation: Spirit has a fun way of communicating with us through electricity. If the lights flicker when you're in a particular room in the house, it may be a loved one who has crossed or your spirit guides trying to connect with a message from the other side. Other signs include interference with radios, TVs, phones, appliances, and other electrical devices without explanation or logic.
7. Intuitive Guidance: Our intuition serves as a direct line of communication with the wisdom of the Universe, guiding us along our soul's journey. Whether it's a gut feeling, a sudden knowing, or a flash of insight, learning to trust and follow our intuition can lead us to profound revelations and synchronicities.

These examples merely scratch the surface of the never-ending array of signs and symbols the Universe uses to communicate with us each day. By cultivating awareness, openness, and receptivity to the subtle language of the cosmos, we can deepen our connection to the divine and navigate life's journey with grace, purpose, and wonder.

In our quest for understanding, we often seek tools to help us interpret the signs and symbols that surround us. One such tool that has been utilized for centuries is the pendulum. Whether seeking clarity about personal matters, making decisions, or connecting with higher realms, the pendulum is a powerful guidance assistant in deciphering the subtle language of the Universe. Let's explore how to interpret signs and symbols with the help of this ancient, most powerful tool.

What Is a Pendulum?
Pendulums are weighted tools that work with your energy to access your subconscious mind. They provide answers to your questions quickly and visually by moving in a specific direction for "Yes" and another direction for "No." While traditionally used in dowsing to locate water or minerals, the pendulum is also used to access intuitive guidance and insights. For more information about these amazing tools, please check out our book, Pendulums & Intuition: Practical Advice for Trusting Your Inner Wisdom, which guides you through how to get started with pendulums, how to care for them, and how to apply them to your everyday life.

Establishing a Connection and Calibrating Your Pendulum
Before using the pendulum, it's essential to establish a connection with the tool and set clear intentions for its use. Begin by holding the pendulum in your dominant hand, allowing it to hang freely. Take a few deep breaths to center yourself and focus your intention on receiving clear and accurate guidance.

Once you've established a connection, it's crucial to calibrate the pendulum for your Yes and No responses. Start by asking, "Please show me my Yes movement." Wait until the pendulum starts responding and shows you a movement specific to your personal Yes. Repeat by asking for your No movement. After your Yes and No movements have been established, keep practicing by asking simple Yes or No questions that you already know the answers to. Observe the direction of movement of the pendulum in response to these questions until you are comfortable with how the pendulum moves with your energy for your Yes and No questions.

Interpreting Symbols and Signs With the Help of a Pendulum
When using a pendulum to interpret signs and symbols from the Universe, it's essential to ask questions that are empowering and focused on gaining insights and guidance. Always keep your questions focused on yourself and for the highest good of all. Here are some examples of questions you can ask:

• Is this particular sign I encountered significant for me at this moment? If you get a Yes answer from your pendulum, keep asking deeper questions to interpret the significance of this message.
• Is the Universe trying to communicate with me through the symbol I observed in my dream? If you get a Yes, dive deeper to interpret the symbology with the help of your pendulum. You can also ask if it is optimal for you to take action based on the symbol you received.
• Is this sign I witnessed a confirmation that I am on the right path?
• Is it optimal for me to seek further guidance or insight regarding the symbol I noticed recently?
• Is the sign I came across today a message from my spirit guides and my higher self?
• Is there a specific lesson I should glean from the symbol I saw today? If you get a yes, again, keep asking more questions to determine what it is.
• Is it accurate to interpret the sign as a message of encouragement?
• Is the symbol I encountered a reminder to trust in the divine timing of my life's journey? Is it for my highest good to explore the deeper meaning behind the symbol I encountered further?
• Are the light flickers a sign from a departed loved one with a message for me?

Remember to phrase your questions clearly and succinctly, allowing the pendulum to respond with a simple Yes or No motion. Trust your intuition and remain open to the guidance and insights that come through the pendulum's responses. Keep a journal to record your experiences and insights, allowing for reflection and deeper exploration over time.

Maintaining Reverence and Respect
While the pendulum can be a valuable tool for accessing intuitive guidance, it's essential to approach its use with reverence and respect. Treat the pendulum as a sacred instrument, honoring its power and the wisdom it facilitates. Remember that you are co-creating with the universe, and the insights you receive are a reflection of your connection to the divine.

In our journey through life, we are constantly being gifted signs and symbols from the Universe, guiding us along our path and offering insights into the mysteries of existence. With the help of the pendulum, we can access this wisdom more readily, tapping into our intuitive knowing and deepening our connection to the Universe. By cultivating trust, openness, and reverence, we can interpret Universal signs and symbols with clarity and grace, navigating life's journey with wisdom and insight.

With Gratitude,

Can a promiscuous person be truly spiritual? I ask because a guy I know claims to be both. He doesn't believe in marriage or want to settle down, and considers sex to be merely a release of energy. One of his life goals is to have sex with many women of different races and nationalities - at least 1000! What do you think?

Jay

Astrea:

Many people don't believe in marriage, but they don't feel that gives them license to be irresponsible with others' health and safety. The person you're asking about has a perverted sense of values. He must have very low self-esteem to think that sex is simply a release of energy without any emotional element.

That is NOT human nature; he has the spirituality of an ashtray! Spiritual individuals seek others of similar vibration, not people to bonk so they can put another notch in their belts.

This person is a sick degenerate who deserves to get what he puts out into the world. Wanting to have sex with 1000 women with these idiotic qualifications is NOT spiritual, it's unbalanced. He is so out of touch with God and the God in him that he may never achieve any kind of Enlightenment in this life.

He is probably here as a One-Timer anyway, so future incarnations won't be bothered with him. While most people have had some kind of Before Times and Past Lives, Fate allows random individuals to enter our lives too. This guy is one of them.

Don't concern yourself with him. He won't be around for very long anyway. Germs and viruses will get him before the unhappy women he's using do. Though he probably says he is invincible, he's far from right about that.

There is no way to protect a person from the unhealthy effects of having sex with that many people. SOMEONE is going to get sick and die. Since this person thinks he has the right to be with 1000 different women, he is probably careless to the point of stupidity.

There are many other diseases of the body and mind that will attack promiscuous people besides HIV. With this unhealthy attitude, he's dangerous to himself and to others. This would even be considered criminal activity in some places.

I can see how someone who talks the way this man does could be fascinating to listen to. David Koresh, Warren Jeffers, Jim Jones and Charles Manson come to mind. Those guys claimed to be spiritual too, but they used their spirituality to abuse underage boys and girls in the name of religion. In Charlie's case, he even used it to con others into becoming murderers!

Take yourself away from this guy as far as possible. Let the women around you of other races and nationalities know what this nut case is up to, and convince them to stay away too.

*****

Susyn:

You pose a fascinating question. Though we've evolved considerably since the dark ages and again since Puritanical morality, there is a vast difference between being a spiritual person and one who discounts the power and importance of intimate connections.

When a man has so little regard for himself and others as to make one of his life goals to have enough sexual encounters to get him listed in The Guinness Book of World Records, he's entirely missed the boat when it comes to spirituality.

Throughout the centuries, morals and spirituality have gone hand in hand. Early religious groups claimed that in order to access and operate in the highest spiritual states, celibacy was required. Everyone from Catholic priests to Buddhist monks claimed this was the path to enlightenment. Early Puritans called for monogamy. As was portrayed in the book The Scarlet Letter, any sexual activity outside of marriage was considered cause for condemnation.

Today we live in a world that promotes pseudo-freedom on all levels, which has eaten into the fabric of our spirits. It seems we've gone from one extreme to the other, and both men and women are exploring not only their sexual but spiritual autonomy with abandon. The result? Many people feel empty, lost and completely disconnected from the Divine.

The sex act is not simply a release of energy. It can manifest powerful emotions and repercussions, and if two people aren't honest with each other, lots of hurt and pain. As with everything else in our lives, there is always the universal law of cause and effect. I'd bet someone who claims that the act of sex has no effect one way or another is very immature and lacking in awareness of himself and others.

The true path to spirituality has to do with an inner searching and the ability to honor higher truths. As we travel through our lives, our beliefs and experiences continue to uncover and expand our truths so they are ever changing, not static. People can be intimate or form relationships with more than one person and still be considered spiritual; it simply depends on how they approach these connections and how they handle them.

While a spiritual person can have more than one sexual partner, I think the fact that your friend is only in pursuit of his own personal gratification clearly answers your question.

Astrea:

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.

Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!

While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!

I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!

As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.

I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.

You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!

Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.

A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.

You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
