It's
good luck time. Are you going to make yourself available for it? I hope
so, peeps! The wheel of fortune is always spinning. Sometimes things go
our way and everything falls into place and sometimes it all falls
apart even though we may have done everything "right". Most of us are
constantly trying to create the outcome we want and if it doesn't go
well, we tend to slip into self-recrimination. The wheel of fortune
reminds us that there are forces and patterns greater than our own
will. Sometimes it comes down to luck and good timing. If you've been
needing a shot in the arm, you just might get it this week. It's a
great time to take a risk and reach out for what's wanted and desired.
The wheel of fortune is ruled by Jupiter (the planet of expansive
optimism). Make the most of this energetic trend knowing that the wheel
will inevitably turn again, taking us into more complex and difficult
territory.

Fortuna governs the circle of the four stages of life, the Wheel of Fortune, in a manuscript of Carmina Burana

In Roman mythology, Fortuna (equivalent to the Greek goddess Tyche)
was the personification of luck, hopefully of good luck, but she could
be represented veiled and blind, as modern depictions of Justice are
seen, and came to represent the capriciousness of life.Fortuna
had a retinue that included Copia among her blessings. Under the name
Annonaria she protected grain supplies. In the Roman calendar, June 11
was sacred to Fortuna, with a greater festival to Fors Fortuna on the
24th [1].Fortuna
was propitiated by mothers. Traditionally her cult was introduced to
Rome by Servius Tullius. Fortuna had a temple in the Forum Boarium, a
public sanctuary on the Quirinalis, as the tutelary genius of Roma
herself, Fortuna Populi Romani, the "Fortune of the Roman people", and
an oracle in Praeneste where the future was chosen by a small boy
choosing oak rods with possible futures written on them.All
over the Roman world, Fortuna was worshipped at a great number of
shrines under various titles that were applied to her according to the
various circumstances of life in which her influence was hoped to have
a positive effect. Fortuna was not always positive: she was doubtful
(Fortuna Dubia); she could be "fickle fortune" (Fortuna Brevis), or
downright evil luck (Fortuna Mala).

Her name seems to derive from the Italic goddess Vortumna, "she who revolves the year".

IDEAS BECOME REALITY
We
get to see manifestation in action today but the funny things is, we
can't quite remember what we did to make it all happen. That's because
doing is not the answer. Doing things and doing them in the right order
is not where the power to make it happen resides. There's an effortless
quality to the energy today. Just go with it and see where it takes you.

Tuesday 11/17
ACCEPT AN INVITATION TO PLAY
Although
there are a million things tugging on us, we need to stop and play.
even a short burst of silliness will help us move through difficult and
dense energies. No more excuses! Get silly and enjoy the feeling of
pushing all those pressing responsibilities aside. They'll still be
there after our play date but we will be different and fresher in our
approach to them. A change in perspective is always a good thing.

Wednesday 11/18
AMBITION INTENSIFIES
Our
desire to get somewhere is growing in intensity. We might find
ourselves anticipating potential problems and how we're going to
respond. We need the wisdom of head and heart to get where we want to
go. Limit distractions and ponder the pure feeling of being there. What
does it feel like to attain this desire? Meditate on that and the bumps
in the road will smooth right out.

Thursday 11/19
NEW PLEASURES EMERGE
There
is a lovely sense of discovery today. Life feels fresh and open. We
might discover new pleasure by investigating our creativity or through
a new, vital connection to someone interesting. Perhaps good news is
coming, or we have more time to just relax and enjoy. Focus on the body
today and what it takes to get that body feeling good. Problems lose
their power when we feel good.

Friday 11/20
PSYCHIC ABILITY STRENGTHENS
Intuitive
insights are potent today and can offer us many valuable hints.
Sometimes it's tough to decipher what our intuitive mind is telling us
with it's communication style of fleeting feelings and water-color
impressions. Pay attention to the feelings. We don't have to make sense
of it. Keep it simple but if anxiety pops up, take it as a no and if
joy pops up, take it as a yes. The rest of the information will come
together in time.

Saturday 11/21
LIGHTEN UP
Sometimes
we just have to push ourselves out of a heavy space. Make a deal with
yourself that you will mope, whine, lament for 20 minutes and then do
your best to move on. Whatever is the cause of the dark mood, is truly
not that bad. It's only intense because it reminds us of other
experiences where the outcome was not what we wanted. History doesn't
have to repeat itself. Perhaps this is the mantra for the day.

Sunday 11/22
BE HERE NOW
It's
so easy to drift into the future or slide back into the past. We are
especially prone to this if we aren't satisfied with what's unfolding
right now. The funny thing is, if we aren't here, we can't really
change what we don't like about this moment and we certainly can't
capitalize on the myriad of opportunities labeled NOW. Come home and be
with it and if it's something unwanted, watch it shift.

GO WITH IT, WHATEVER IT IS

The
wheel of fortune counsels us to stay loose. Go with it, even if it's
unexpected and unwanted. Opportunity often hides in adversity. The
spaces in our lives that feel the most off kilter often have the most
potential to help us get closer to what we want. It's time to step away
from control and go for a ride on the ever turning wheel.
