November 11 through November 17, 2024
Venus kicks starts the week off by moving into Capricorn on Monday, setting a loving tone to the holidays ahead. This is an aspect that also encourages spending lots of money, so as you find yourself booking a getaway, decorating, having a makeover, or purchasing gifts, keep this in mind! We’ll be operating on high energy as the Moon travels through Aries Tuesday and Wednesday, but let’s remember to pace ourselves so we don’t run out of steam before the week ends. The Moon moves into Taurus on Thursday and grounds our movements a bit, as we embrace logic and practicality over trying to dash ahead without caution. The Taurus Moon waxes full on Friday, marking a two-week cycle of release. In the sign of Taurus, this is a call to look over our finances and belongings to see where we can streamline things to create more freedom of movement in the future. Saturn will also turn direct at the same time, reminding us to put boundaries around our spending and schedules. We’ll close the week out on a fun note under the Gemini Moon, socializing with our favorite people or surfing the web for gifts or information.

A New(merological) Spin on the Law of Attraction, by Michael Smith
(Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)
The law of attraction is the well-known universal principle of transforming thoughts into reality using the vibrational principle of resonance, or, "like attracts like." And this isn't only something we do to get what we want but actually do all the time, whether or not we realize it.
As vibrational expressions of consciousness ourselves, we are always projecting both conscious thoughts and unconscious beliefs to the universe. However, the universe doesn't differentiate between wanted and unwanted beliefs. The vibrational thoughtform we hold, whatever it may be, is what the universe seeks to match with a reality of like vibration. Also, just as the twelve frequencies of the base-12 numerology cycle (shown above) are general themes or archetypes rather than specific intentions, our thoughts and beliefs manifest from a broad range of possibilities unless we restrict them to a narrow outcome—something we do all too often.
For instance, if you would love to visit Hawaii when you retire and can't stop thinking about the exhilarating freedom that tropical adventure would bring, it is actually the 5 theme of change that you are more broadly attracting. This therefore attracts a variety of experiences into your reality that resonate with that overall energy of change and freedom: maybe you are asked to travel to Mexico on an unexpected business trip, perhaps you run into an old friend who is a travel agent, or suddenly you get invited to a destination wedding in Aruba, all expenses paid.
This highlights the key to effective manifesting: the universe, your Higher Self and your spiritual team of guides know you far better than you do with your physically limited perspective. This is why it's always best to focus your thoughts on the theme you wish to attract rather than its specific form and to let the universe do the rest. If you hold out for a specific outcome, like that trip to Hawaii and only when you retire, you may miss out on many other opportunities and synchronicities in the meantime that would bring you the same type of joy in an even more timely and fulfilling way. So remember, the universe knows you best (please don't tell your mother I said that).
The Law of Attraction 1.0
The way the law of attraction is traditionally described is as a three-step process of focusing your attention on what you desire, maintaining your emotional alignment with that desire, and then allowing the best outcome to manifest without restricting the form it may take. This three-step process of asking, allowing, and receiving is how the law of attraction is typically summed up, and is the way I first learned about it.Still, like myself, many experience mixed results in following this somewhat simplistic and vague formula. The great news is that the base-12 prime waveform expands and clarifies this process, explaining the specific vibrational principles involved in this powerful tool.
The Law of Attraction 12.0
Actually involving six steps rather than three, this new spin on the classic law of attraction incorporates all twelve themes of the base-12 numerology cycle in a vibrationally balanced way. To explain, let's review what that cycle represents.The base-12 numerology cycle is what I believe to be the creative blueprint of physical and spiritual duality from which everything emerges, where the first half of the cycle from 0 to 5 represents physically focused themes and the second half from 6 to 11 their spiritually enlightened counterparts inspired by love. As such, each of the spiritual themes from 6 to 11 are vibrationally the result of adding the 6 of love to the physical themes from 0 to 5 (i.e. 0 + 6 = 6, 1 + 6 = 7, 2 + 6 = 8, 3 + 6 = 9, 4 + 6 = 10 and 5 + 6 = 11). These six pairings of 0/6, 1/7, 2/8, 3/9, 4/10 and 5/11 therefore represent the six steps required to manifest in a physically and spiritually balanced way.
Also, to know a theme well within the base-12 cycle is to experience and understand its full vibrational range, essentially the net vibration of the upper and lower waves when combined. This combined wave (shown in grey) is the path of resonance along which we can best resonate with the prime waveform—our path of least resistance to love. Note, too, how the figure-8 path of base-12 cycle follows a forward spin direction along the solid wave from 0 to 12 and a backward spin along the dashed wave from 12 to 0. The solid wave represents the positive polarity of asserting a theme into reality—of projecting our thoughts forward—while the dashed wave is its opposite polarity of allowing potentials to happen—of attracting matching outcomes towards us. As each of the twelve number themes are defined by its probability profile between those two waves and their opposing spin directions, it requires both assertion and allowance to "freeze" a theme's spin in place long enough for it to manifest.
So let's walk through the six steps to understand how they work together as a vibrationally complete and love-inspired process of turning thoughts into reality:
- Step 1: Imagine a potential (0) you are passionate about (6)
- Step 2: Focus (1) on that desire, believing (7) it is possible
- Step 3: Emotionally relate (2) to the feeling of it achieved, knowing you are worthy (8)
- Step 4: Allow synchronicity to guide you (3), trusting it will happen (9)
- Step 5: Be flexible as to the form it may take (4), keeping open-minded and alert (10)
- Step 6: Act on the opportunity (5) once it is illuminated (11)
Here are some additional tips to make the most of the base-12 manifestation process:
- In step 1, use your intuitive senses to identify what truly excites you, not just what you think sounds exciting. We are all unique and each of us have a different picture of what would make us happy, so follow your own inner guidance rather than what appears to make others happy.
- In step 2, make sure you're focusing on what you want (e.g. a supportive relationship) rather than avoiding what you don't want (e.g. a controlling and insensitive partner).
- In step 3, it is important to hold the fulfilled emotion of already having achieved what you're trying to manifest rather than the unfulfilled desire of something you still currently lack.
- In step 4, remember to release expectations and allow the universe to bring to you what is in your greatest good without trying to force a particular outcome.
- In step 5, keep your eyes open for little signs and synchronicities that are leading you towards your new manifestation. Here, you need to go with the flow and follow your intuitive GPS for what feels right. And above all, be patient as impatience is just another flavor of lack that will work against your best efforts to attract abundance.
- Last, in step 6, have the courage to seize what comes your way. We all have regrets about opportunities on which we didn't act, whether out of fear or complacency. So when positive things manifest, even if they aren't what you expect, grab hold and see where they lead.
Often when manifesting, your new reality takes shape over a series of choreographed steps rather than one big pay day. It's like playing chess; each move brings you closer to your goal but needs to be recalculated each step of the way depending on what the other player does and how the game board develops. We are never creating our reality on our own but rather co-creating with the realities of everyone and everything affected by our choices. Not to worry, though—the universe has a handle on this intricate network of cause and effect. All you have to do is simply trust the process and let the universe strategize your best path.

- Double Vision: What is Deja Vu?Continue reading →

My kids and I frequently experience deja vu, but my husband doesn't even seem to know what we're talking about. Do you think that deja vu is related to psychic ability? Why would some people experience it, and others not? Also, what's happening when we have that deja vu feeling? It doesn't seem to happen surrounding anything particularly important, so I'm wondering if it has any real meaning or significance. Thanks!

Dreamchaser:
I love deja vu! It makes me feel like the theme to The Twilight Zone will start playing at any moment.
There are a few different types deja vu. The first is what some call deja vecu. This translates as
already lived through
oralready seen.
This is when we get that surreal feeling that we have already done something before, like we've already lived through the exact same experience in the past.
Usually this kind of experience is so powerful that people will remember it for the rest of their lives. The fact that you do this frequently should show you how gifted you and your kids really are.
Deja vecu is not just a mental/visual experience - it's a total being experience. You already know what everyone is going to say and how everyone is going to act.
The second type is called deja visite. This is the least common type of deja vu. It translates as
already visited.
This is when you know your way around a place, be it a forest or a mansion or any sort of setting. You know the layout, what the rooms are filled with, and what each closet and cabinet has in it.It is one of those deja vu experiences that makes me stop, close my eyes and take a deep breath. When I went to Jefferson Davis' home in Biloxi, Mississippi, somehow I just knew my way around. I knew every room and knew what it was used for a long time ago. It was a mindblowing experience.
The third type is deja senti, which translates as
already felt.
This is mostly a mental as opposed to physical experience. You have this brief, fleeting thought ofI remember this!
and then it's usually gone and you can't recapture it.In my opinion, this is the most common type of deja vu. Many of us will walk into a situation and have that feeling of familiarity.
A lot of people say that deja vu is related to mental disorders. I guess I should say that you and your kids should check with your doctor to make sure you are completely sane and healthy, but I personally feel that deja vu is a completely natural spiritual experience, and that everyone who is open to it will experience it sometimes.
As I see it, places hold energy, and we feel that energy as it interacts with us on subtle levels. Sometimes we just don't consciously comprehend what is really going on.
Your husband doesn't have to be on board for you to have fun with this. You know he's scared of things he can't understand, so he tries to explain them away with
logic.
I wish you and your kids many more spiritual experiences.

Astrea:
Different people experience deja vu at different levels of intensity. It doesn't have anything to do with psychic ability - it's more about past lives. That feeling that you have been somewhere before or are already familiar with what you're experiencing in some mysterious place deep within you is coming from a past life experience.
Deja vu is an emotional response to something that reminds you of a past life. We never totally forget about where and when we have lived before, and flashes of these memories come to us when our third eyes are open and there is a break or overlap between dimensions.
So whether a person is psychic or not, if they've had a number of former incarnations, they will experience some kind of deja vu.
The reason your husband doesn't experience deja vu is probably due to him being new to your Ka-Tet, or karmic family. He doesn't have any past lives with you all, so he doesn't have deja vu with you.
Also, people who come to Earth as humans for the first time don't have any buried memories of earthly experiences. Some people are only here for one incarnation, so they don't experience deja vu either. This incarnation is the only one that they'll ever have on this plane, so they don't have past or future life experiences here that trigger deja vu.
Another reason some people don't experience that response to certain places and things is that they don't want to remember anything about their past lives at all. They block any knowledge or feeling that might spark buried memories of what happened to them in other lives.
So a person who had an awful life won't experience deja vu as much as someone who was happier in another incarnation. The more enjoyable a person's past lives were for them, the more they will tend to experience deja vu.
Deja vu can also come and go at various ages. Small children who have had many past lives (old souls), experience deja vu so frequently that it is as common for them as hunger or thirst.
As they get older, they notice other people don't talk about this or pay much attention to it, so it sort of drops out of their emotional vocabulary. Depending on whether or not the rest of the family believes in reincarnation, it may then become another repressed response.
It takes some people years to be able to remember their past lives. If you're having deja vu many times a day, it might be good for you to work with someone who is an expert in that field.
Finding out about past lives is usually a fun and rewarding experience, for fewer of us were tortured or burned at the stake than you might think!
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.
