October 28 through November 3, 2024

Things will flow along pretty smoothly until the weekend, starting with a productive Virgo Moon on Monday. It might be a good idea to get anything essential or time-sensitive done today, as astrologically it will be the day you have the most uninterrupted time. Tuesday and Wednesday are all about restoring balance as the Moon cruises through Libra, not only in our physical worlds but in our emotional and intellectual worlds as well. Thursday could be a free-for-all all as the Moon moves through Scorpio, calling for us to change direction at a moment’s notice and adjust our expectations to transition through the day smoothly. Friday’s Scorpio new Moon marks a two-week cycle of fresh beginnings, and it’s also the first of two new Moons that occur in November this year. This is a rare occurrence but also brings home the idea that we are ready for advancement and progress on a deep spiritual level. A game of musical chairs will be going on over the weekend, as Mercury moves into Sagittarius on Saturday and Mars advances into Leo on Sunday. Both of these planets will thrive in fire signs, and as Mercury is known for its love of communication and Mars is all about action, the next few weeks should be very interesting!

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.

My husband and I are in our seventies. We've been together for more than forty years, and we love each other very much. I've long been on a conscious spiritual path, while my husband has no interest in such matters. This wasn't a huge issue until he retired about eight years ago. Since then, he has grown sullen and angry. All he does is sleep, watch TV, and surf the internet. We have some lovely grandchildren, but he takes little joy in them. Like the stereotype of the grumpy old man, he complains constantly and is downright miserable to be around. I have tried everything I can think of to help him heal his emotional pain and anger, but he'll have none of it. I love him but I don't know how much more of this I can take. I don't want to spend the rest of my life like this, but I also don't want to abandon him and disrupt the whole family. I would appreciate any guidance Spirit may have for me.

Dreamchaser:

You have been living through this angry, sullen phase for eight years, and now you've come to a crossroads and must face this issue.

First and foremost, you can't help your husband heal his emotional pain or any other pain for that matter. You also can't say or do anything to help him heal his anger - that is something he has to do if and when he is ready to do it.

Until a person can see how angry they really are, they can't truly heal. He doesn't see himself as angry and in pain - he actually defines himself by his anger and pain, so he doesn't know how to be anything else. These energies have become familiar parts of him.

There are times when we have to ask ourselves if love is enough. I know you two have had a very long relationship, and have shared a whole lot of love.

That is commendable, but relationships do change: careers come to an end; children grow up, move out, and start having children of their own; life evolves. Why wouldn't you evolve as well?

You have been growing spiritually for years now, while your husband is still in the same place he was many years ago. It may be sad, but it only makes sense that you two have become estranged.

You are free to live the remaining years of your life however you want to live them. As for your children, you need to show them that they don't have to be slaves to what other people think they should do.

One of the best things you can do for the people you love and care about is show them how to be happy. Your children will be happy when you are happy. You can still be a mother, grandmother, friend, etc. if you make a new choice about how you want to live your life.

You already know what you need to do - you're just afraid. You never, ever thought you would be one of THOSE people. Think of it this way: if you do what your heart is telling you, your husband will actually be happy, because he'll have something new to complain about!

On the other hand, you are free to choose to stay in this relationship and try to find better balance in it. I know that's not the ideal choice, but it's still a choice. No one can tell you what to do - you have to choose on your own. You can try to not allow your husband's misery to affect your own inner world.

You know what your gut is saying, and you know where you are being led. You have these visions of sunsets in deserts and sunrises on snow-covered mountains. You also know we choose our own futures for the most part.

You deserve to wrap this fabulous lifetime up in ways that make you truly happy. I wish you the ability to clearly hear what your own spirit is saying to you.

Astrea:

At your stage of life, it isn't easy to pick up and leave your family and all you've built together over the years. Your generation and mine (which is right behind yours) have faced some serious questions of faith.

Instead of opening up to his own spirituality as you and I have, your husband has denied it throughout his life. He neither wants to acknowledge Spirit nor make the effort to get to know the God within him.

It was easy when he was younger because he was busy. It was much easier for him to think that it didn't matter while he was working to support his family. Anything that seemed silly or unreal to him could be pushed aside as long as he didn't have to sit and think about it.

Now that he's older and he MUST begin to consider the inevitable, he's cross and resentful of anyone who has things like this figured out for themselves.

Instead of facing these heavy questions, he chooses to get lost in the television and be grumpy and cold. He has all sorts of time now to think about things, so when he feels something heavy, he tries to distract himself.

I'm sure he was never a very outwardly emotional person, and the older he gets, the more difficult it becomes for him to transition from being centered in the body to centered in the soul.

Since he's happy to stay parked in front of the television, you might try to expose him to spiritual programs and movies. I'm not suggesting he would tolerate something overt, but there are lots of shows and movies with subtle spiritual elements in them now.

Since he spends so much time watching TV, chances are you have enough channels that you could find something like this a few times a day. If he's surfing the internet, you could show him some of the sites that you visit and see if that gets his interest going.

I'm so sorry that you've spent your life with him, and instead of the companion you believed he'd be, he's now an old grump and a miserable person to be around.

It's fear that makes him this way. Fear of what might happen can be crippling, so he's escaping into the TV and the computer. Some people can live that way and be perfectly content, but obviously he's not one of them.

He doesn't know how to access what you have because he's never really tried to. If he won't talk to you about it, see if he'll speak to someone who can get him to open up, like a counselor or perhaps your family doctor.

Many wives in our generation are living with these sorts of guys, and we can use all the support we can get, so before you tear yourself away from all you have at home, seek help with working all of this out in your community or your church of choice.

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.
