New Moon in Scorpio and Uranus, the planet of Awakening

Uranus, the planet of change and awakening, is activated by this New Moon, sending some erratic waves of energy our way. While this can feel a little unsettling, Uranus wants us to shake things up. It wants us to try something new and to embrace a deeper layer of authenticity.
If there is something we have been withholding, or something we have been too afraid to do or hear, this New Moon could rattle things for us and create enough tension where we are forced to take action. Continued at end of newsletter.

Thursday November 20 Zoom
MEDIUMSHIP DEVELOPMENT Meetup @ 7:30 PM
​This week's class directed by Suzanne Garrison-Terry

Thanksgiving Traditions: Over the river and through the woods
Hi, everyone. For our Mediumship Class on Thursday, November 20 at 7:30 pm on Zoom, Suzanne Garrison-Terry will be directing the class. Here is her description:
Description: With Thanksgiving next week, let's revisit the holiday the way we used to celebrate it.
We will have two exercises. The first exercise will explore family traditions from a bygone era. What activities did you and your family do? Did you bake pies the day before? Watch particular events or movies? Did you decorate the house? Did you visit family?
The second exercise will explore the sights, sounds, and tastes of Thanksgiving dinner? Who was there? What did you eat? Let's reconnect not only with stories about the day but experience the meal with all our clairs!

• Please email Suzanne by 2 pm on Thursday or sooner for the Zoom link and to let her know you are coming:  [email protected]
• The cost for this class is $12.00. Please pay on our website at this link: https://www.summerlandchurchoflight.org/payments--donations.html#MedDevGroup
If this amount is not within your budget, please email Frank before the class: [email protected]
If you are less than 18 years of age, you must have written permission from a parent emailed to Frank before this class.

Spiritual Healing Requests

Spirit healings result from law-governed forces being put into operation following the sending forth of a thought directive (prayer). Spirit guides and doctors will diagnose the trouble and its cause, attention being directed to overcoming the cause, and then removing the symptoms.
Please set time aside each day to send healing thoughts for each of those listed below, that they may receive from Spirit that which is for their highest and best needs.  Your healing prayers are needed and benefit others in ways we may never know.

New Moon in Scorpio and Uranus, the planet of Awakening

Uranus, the planet of change and awakening, is activated by this New Moon, sending some erratic waves of energy our way. While this can feel a little unsettling, Uranus wants us to shake things up. It wants us to try something new and to embrace a deeper layer of authenticity.
If there is something we have been withholding, or something we have been too afraid to do or hear, this New Moon could rattle things for us and create enough tension where we are forced to take action. 
Sometimes we need these cosmic pushes, and this New Moon is offering one. Of course, being pushed can always be confronting and hard to navigate, but we are promised an awakening on the other side.
Uranus can also sometimes stir surprising news and information that can catapult us to a new chapter of our story. If this is unfolding in your life under the New Moon, see if you can hold space to recognize that you are being guided to step forth into a new adventure and a new elevation of your soul journey.
Uranus and the Scorpio New Moon are also activating our feelings of security. If we don’t feel secure within ourselves, we may find that some changes need to be made. Just the same, something that felt secure may no longer seem as stable.
The ground beneath us may feel rocky, but as the energies settle, we will find ourselves creating a new sense of inner and outer security that is more authentic and aligned with the new road we are traveling.
