November is a special, magical month. It begins with Samhain and the simultaneous New Moon. This final month of autumn draws a line under past achievements, and despite the dark season, it brings a unique sense of anticipation for the magic ahead.
This year, an early whisper of winter festivities seems to light our path with holiday lights through the dark season. We’ll need to trust the universe and follow these lights as guides, to avoid sinking too deeply into November’s shadows, focusing instead on the gifts and joys that lie ahead.
To highlight the energies that will guide you throughout the upcoming month, I lay out the Gypsy runes on the Wheel of Ruk and Boler. The spiritual rune of the month defines its transformational mood, while the four elemental runes reveal the flow directed by each element.
🤱 The spiritual essence of the month is defined by the rune “Mother,” representing our fundamental needs: security, comfort, and joy.
Reflecting on your life, consider it like a dress: if it no longer brings joy or allows you to grow, perhaps it’s time to reassess your wardrobe. Just as an old, familiar dress may be worn out or no longer reflect your present self, so too may your life structure become outdated. Perhaps it’s time to stop patching it up and find a new fit, something that suits who you are today.
The “Mother” rune also reminds us to care for our physical and emotional well-being. You are the master of your life, responsible for your home, family, health, and happiness. It’s essential to care for yourself on this journey, maintaining balance and energy as you strive for a better future for yourself and your loved ones.
💨 Air 💨
The Air rune “Feather” brings energies this month for gathering vital information, encouraging you to learn and benefit as much as possible from it.
Literally everything you see this month will influence your worldview in some way and invites analysis. If a thought from a billboard catches your eye or you hear about an interesting book or article, stop and explore it. Contemplate the idea, read the book, watch the film. It’s rewarding to make notes, form conclusions, and perhaps even jot down thoughts for the future.
Reconnect with friends you haven’t seen or spoken with for a while. Take time to go out, catch up, and strengthen bonds. Add as many bright experiences and sparks to your autumn-winter days as you can.
🔥 Fire 🔥
The “Button” rune reminds us of the importance of distinguishing between what is ours and what is external, both within ourselves and in the outside world.
As we journey through this new life structure, we continue to harvest the fruits of past actions, old relationships, achievements, and plans that have already come to fruition. Decide what you can use as resources for the future and what should be left behind, planting seeds for future growth.
This month is a good time to ask yourself what truly matters to you, which outcomes you want to preserve, and what should be released to make room for new opportunities.
💦 Water 💦
The “Shell Spiral” curls inward, drawing attention to our inner strength, and spirals outward, radiating this power into the world—a movement that embodies creation.
Water symbolizes our deep emotions and experiences, which may sometimes feel chaotic and heavy, like endless rain. Often, we try to suppress these emotions, hiding them away in hopes that tomorrow will be less dramatic. However, it’s better not to do so, as feelings don’t vanish but accumulate. In the dark season, emotions can take on an intense, shadowy hue, and we must learn to manage our inner “monsters” rather than letting them control us. Meanwhile, we can protect ourselves from others who may try to break our boundaries and encroach on what’s sacred to us.
Since Water governs emotions, we will see different expressions of what we thought were familiar reactions. The energy is building, which could lead to emotional outbursts. How these play out will vary with each person. If you choose to stand by a particular idea, be prepared to go all the way despite possible challenges. Your determination may lead to favorable outcomes.
🌱 Earth 🌱
At this point, any loose ends, debts, or energy-draining situations should have been cut away, or else you’ll find yourself chained to an unsatisfying past. Keep only what truly excites and attracts you. Trust your intuition, and see how something more meaningful fills the space left behind. The goal and outcome of this month should be a state of emotional comfort and security, reflecting the essence of the month’s primary rune, “Mother.”
November will provide strength and energy for one last push before the long holidays, breathing new life into old affairs. Despite the cold, a small flame will settle in your heart, guiding you toward the light and encouraging others to follow.
Let the magical energies of this month breathe new life into your dreams and desires. And may the Spirits of the Elements favor you! 🚀🌟
