Numerology/Astrology for 5/11/20

5/11/20 is the number 11. If you add the 5 + 1 +1 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 0 = 11.

There are many choices that evolve as you continue to change. Today is a moment that choices that allow expansion are going to compile and continue. You wish for a simple choice that will allow things to settle down. But we are in the smorgasbord pattern of the number 11. There are moments when there are so many decisions that need to be made, so many choices, and actions to be taken that it can feel overwhelming. The good news is that I believe your choices are perfect for what you need to learn. I believe that a simple life is not really what anyone wants. I believe that if you get to choose, so do others. And those choices may appear contrary. You have to walk your own path and you learn a lot about life that way. You discover the huge difference between your mind’s attachments and allowing for an expansion that manifests when the mind lets go and is no longer manipulating the reality.

The Moon in serious Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces. It allows you artistic side out. Your imagination runs wild and you might as well let it. Have fun.

The Sun in Taurus trines the Moon and while this brings health and vitality, it will also help you get along with those you are quarantined with.

Saturn appears to stop moving in the sky and turns retrograde today. It will be dancing backwards till September 29th. You will question where your responsibilities lie and reaches your commitments.

Such a moment will magnify some of the heavier aspects of the day. And the rest of the week also. When planets shift directions it is a bit discombobulating.

Venus goes retrograde on the 13th and Jupiter on the 14th. You will have lots of time to review and reflect on many aspects in your life throughout the summer.

Mercury is squaring Mars and more tensions are going to heighten around communications and impulsive moves and reactive words are possible. There are things that you need to deal with but do not make decisions from fear.

Since I write these a day in advance, and today is technically Mother’s Day, I will tell a story about my mom.

When I was a child I believed that my mother never stopped moving. She walked quickly, did chores quickly, was highly efficient at getting dinner prepared and ready to go, so that when I came home from school, I could put the chicken in the oven before she had to come home from work, take me to ballet, come back home and finish dinner. All before 5:30 pm. Because my father always wanted dinner at 5;30 pm. She was a Super Mom!

I remember walking beside her on errands and while I was a child and my legs were shorter, I remember, literally having to run to keep up with her. And I remember thinking to myself, “I am going to fail horribly at being a mother! This is terribly difficult. It is work, non-stop. I don’t know how she does it!”

I think that was one of those moments that helped solidify that I was not going to be a parent. I knew my whole life that I was not having children. It did not bother me. My mother and the insane pace that she rushed around in her younger years was exhausting for me as a child. Seemed on the verge of impossible.

Now, I know that many think I have insane schedules but in reality, my life seems slower and simpler than my mother’s.

When I was a child we would go backpacking. And this was before (or right at the beginning) freeze dried food. My mother would literally sit and give us a square of Saran Wrap. We were to put one teaspoon of coffee, one teaspoon of sugar, and one teaspoon of creamer and then fold it up and tape it together. All the food was pre-packaged that way. She was organized, things were carefully planned out. The camper was packed to the gills but no space was wasted. We always had what we needed. And it was not like we were rich. We were middle class. But never felt as if we were lacking anything that was essential. So here’s to the amazing Mother’s out there who worked so hard, endlessly, to make things easier for us. The generosity of the feminine has a timeless quality.

With my mother I could see the genetics of the Pioneering women who walked ten miles a day behind a covered wagon. Once they stopped they still had to feed and water the horses and oxen. Then make dinner, unpack the beds, put the kids to bed, wake up, feed everyone, pack the covered wagon and do this again and again, day after day. Thank Goodness for the incredible sturdiness of our ancestors. We are here because of their willingness, determination and skills. So today, I honor all my ancestors, especially the women in my genetic line that went above and beyond so that I could be free, here in America, and have the skills that I have to be discerning and kind.
