It has been an extraordinary year, and November is a time of “soft hibernation.” On every level of our being we have been pushed, tested, and challenged by the prevailing winds of change, and now a deep decompression is required to regain our equilibrium.

The primary place where we have been losing precious energy is in our relationships. Whether it be marriage, business, friendship or otherwise, the number 11 of November will have us deeply reconsider our personal boundaries and expectations of others. The word “expectations” is often considered a bad word in the present pop-psychology of spirituality, however I would slightly differ on that opinion. It is fair to expect someone would keep their word when they promise you something, if you have always kept your word to them.

As number 11 represents harmony and divine alignment, we will now have time and space to sift through what we have learned so far this year, and work through any unresolved issues that may be lingering beneath the surface. The gift of this month is in going deep enough within yourself to recognize the root of the negative repeating patterns, and release the attachment to these patterns.

Mirroring a theatrical play where the drama has been acted out and the stage crew swiftly appears to move out the props and back-drop, we will be experiencing a similar “whoosh-that’s over!” effect. In 2011 there was a brilliantly clever song that hit a cultural nerve across the airwaves called, “Now You’re Just Somebody that I Used to Know.” What I like about this song is that as you are first listening to the “He Said” side of the story you’re probably thinking, “Oh, poor guy, he really got burned.” (At least that’s what I was thinking.) Then, when you listen to the “She Said” side of the song you might think, “Well, hmm, maybe not.” I actually do side with the fellow on this one though, he really seems more in touch to me. That’s my professional yogic opinion.

As we are wrestling with the remnants of these expired relationships, it can create an odd sort of emptiness in our heart. It is interesting to note that the Heart number for November is a 7, which is the lonely number in numerology. As we are releasing so much it may be difficult at times to feel connected to others, and thoughts like, “Where is the love?” and, “Where are all the good people?” will be commonplace. The antidote to this is, of course, in group energy-- involving yourself with others of like mind and interests.

Keeping the delicate balance of alone time and having things to look forward to in the rhythm of your week is essential now. Because this month can feel particularly cavernous in its emotional depth and intensity, be aware of warning signals that you might hear from those close to you. There will be a lot of over-indulgence in the area of alcohol and substances, so try to pull someone back from the edge of the cliff if you see them wavering in the wind. Sometimes celebrity deaths are archetypal of the social consciousness, and I was particularly disturbed when Whitney Houston passed. Didn’t she have one person in her life that could say, “Hey girlfriend, slow down.”? Be that person for someone now.

We must have an antidote to the emotional undertow, and the mantra “Sat Siri Siri Akal” will be effective at this time. Yogi Bhajan said it has the power to alleviate despair. We need to make a real effort to pull ourselves up now, as number 11 in the positive polarity is devotion and divine alignment, but when it goes negative it represents chaos and addictive behavior. It will be a brisk business at the pubs this holiday season, so please be extra careful when driving your car.  Some people will just “zone out,” and lose their sense of judgement and peripheral vision. The Water Element is challenged this month, so this would be especially true during rain or snow.                                                        

As we are all navigating this Aquarian Age transition it is important to note that the light at the end of the tunnel is actually the light within. I am of the Sikh faith, however I would be quite thrilled if Jesus Christ came back to the earth plane to shine a light of saving grace on us all. I would drop everything to show up and hear what he had to say. However, I personally think the Christ coming to the Earth again is more likely to happen as a new level of consciousness experienced by humanity. Eleven is the Christ consciousness, the Buddha dharma, the pure light of Infinity expressed in perfect grace and love to all. In the words of Yogi Bhajan:

“May Almighty God bring us peace of mind, peace on the Earth, and prosperity to all. Let the Unknown take away all the pain and establish the kingdom of pleasure and happiness. May prosperity, tranquility, and grace prevail.” 12-2-1989
