Subscribe for free weekly horoscopes and exclusive offers at https://www.quietmindastrology.comNovember brings a fascinating mix of forward motion and reflection: Saturn moves direct while both Mercury and Jupiter are retrograde. You may feel eager to start fresh, yet drawn to revisit old territory. This episode walks you through each major transit and how to stay grounded through the shifting tides of November.From November 1–9—and again around the 20th—you'll feel renewed motivation for projects, new routines, and setting intentions. Mid-month, Mercury retrograde in Scorpio asks you to slow down, look within, and tie up unfinished business. It's an ideal time to journal, re-study, and deepen spiritual practice.Jupiter retrograde in Cancer continues its theme of emotional growth and inner faith. Patience pays off—what's evolving now is meant to nourish your soul, not rush ahead. Sun in Libra and Venus moving from Virgo to Libra bring relationships into focus. The lesson this month: balance head and heart. The longest journey is the six inches from your head to your heart. Presence and honesty matter more than perfection.Rahu in Aquarius and Ketu in Leo keep transforming your sense of purpose and identity. Life may feel like improv theater—commit fully to your role, then release it when the scene changes. Venus in Libra supports harmony, beauty, and connection, while her shift into Scorpio later in the month brings deeper intimacy and transformation.The Full Moon in Bharani Nakshatra (Aries) on November 5th highlights themes of birth, surrender, and creative renewal. This is a powerful time to let go of control and trust life's cycles.Throughout the episode, I share practical ways to stay balanced—through journaling, yoga, and steady daily rhythm—so you can flow with these energies rather than against them.Get your Free Vedic Birth Chart & Big 3 Training:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchartInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrologyYouTube: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/youtubeMentorship Waitlist: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorshipYoga Teacher Training Podcast: https://www.anchor.fm/yogateachertrainingQuietmind Yoga: https://www.quietmind.yoga

cantonades.En: La Rambla buzzed with life on a fall evening, with leaves falling on the cobbled ground, while the fresh air carried the aroma of roasted chestnuts from the corners.Ca: Martí es va asseure en una de les taules del seu cafè preferit i va mirar al seu voltant, esperant.En: Martí sat at a table of his favorite café and looked around, waiting.Ca: Feia anys que no parlava amb la seva germana, Núria.En: It had been years since he last spoke with his sister, Núria.Ca: Avui, havien decidit trobar-se aquí, on sovint passejaven de petits.En: Today, they had decided to meet here, where they often strolled when they were children.Ca: Martí era un artista buscant inspiració en aquest món frenètic, però la seva ment estava massa ocupada amb records i emocions no resoltes.En: Martí was an artist seeking inspiration in this frantic world, but his mind was too occupied with memories and unresolved emotions.Ca: Al mateix temps, Núria, una empresària d'èxit, se sentia atrapada pel seu treball.En: At the same time, Núria, a successful businesswoman, felt trapped by her work.Ca: Treballava més hores del que volia, i l'estrès s'anava acumulant.En: She worked more hours than she wanted, and the stress was building up.Ca: Ambdós germans portaven anys fugint d'una conversa que sabia que necessitaven tenir.En: Both siblings had been avoiding a conversation they knew they needed to have for years.Ca: Quan Núria va arribar, una lleu brisa va fer dansar les fulles als seus peus.En: When Núria arrived, a slight breeze made the leaves dance at her feet.Ca: Va saludar Martí amb una abraçada vacil·lant.En: She greeted Martí with a hesitant hug.Ca: Tots dos van notar la tensió a l'aire.En: Both of them sensed the tension in the air.Ca: Van demanar cafès, i es van seure amb els seus pensaments, com si les paraules fossin massa difícils de trobar.En: They ordered coffees and sat with their thoughts, as if the words were too difficult to find.Ca: "Martí," va començar Núria, "recordes quan vèiem els artistes aquí?En: "Martí," Núria began, "do you remember when we used to watch the artists here?Ca: Ens imaginàvem fent-ho nosaltres algun dia.En: We imagined ourselves doing that one day."Ca: "Martí va somriure, un record de la infantesa dissipant la tensió.En: Martí smiled, a childhood memory dissipating the tension.Ca: "Sí, i tu sempre deies que el món era l'escenari i

of inspiration within him, while Núria knew she had found a better balance for her life.Ca: A partir d'aquell dia, amb la La Rambla decorada amb les seves infinites històries, els dos germans van

From building a billion-dollar beauty empire to starting over at 60, Bobbi Brown's story is one of grit, grace, and growth…but behind her success lies a deep journey of reinvention. Bobbi opens up to Hoda about her mother's struggle with mental illness, her unlikely path to becoming a world-renowned makeup artist, and the moment she walked away from the brand that bore her name. She shares how she rebuilt her life and career with her clean beauty line, Jones Road, what keeps her grounded as a mother and grandmother, and why she believes the best chapters don't end with success, but begin when you find the strength to start over.

Hi darling friends. I'm in New York AGAIN, fresh off going to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and deep in my own thoughts. I get into the feelings that come with being in the city alone and the overthinking that comes with too much solo time - it's this weird mix of freedom and anxiety that shows up. In classic solo fashion, I jump around from the perioral dermatitis that I've been dealing with, what's in my travel bag and my go-to travel essentials (Tide Pen FTW.) There's also some honest talk about money, living from a place of abundance without being too irresponsible, and the book I've been falling asleep to. It's a little stream of consciousness, a little GRWM, and ends with a note of gratitude - for the quiet, the chaos, and everything in between.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! On this October 18th episode, join your host, Hunter, and contributor, Heather, as we continue our journey through the Scriptures together. Today, we dive into the heart-wrenching story of Job—his lament and the counsel he receives in the midst of suffering—followed by the powerful accounts from Acts where the gospel spreads like wildfire. Witness Saul's dramatic transformation on the road to Damascus, the joy brought to Samaria through Philip's ministry, and miracles of healing and new life as the early church grows. Through heartfelt readings, prayers, and reflections, Hunter reminds us that God's love is being multiplied worldwide, inviting even outsiders, enemies, the hurting, and the hopeful into the fullness of Christ's life. This episode is about awakening to God's transforming grace and learning how we, too, can become vessels of peace and love in our everyday lives. So settle in, open your ears and heart, and let's journey together—discovering comfort, perspective, and encouragement from the living Word of God. TODAY'S DEVOTION: It's happening. Enemies, foreigners, the blind and the deaf are all hearing and receiving the message of Christ's life. His life is being multiplied into the lives of all these people. Jesus—his message is spreading out into all the earth: down to Ethiopia, up to Damascus, onto Tarsus. The Spirit and life of Christ is moving out like never before. John wrote, “I tell you the truth. Unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernels, a plentiful harvest of new lives.” He was that grain of wheat who fell to the ground on our behalf, out of love for you and me. And because he did this great work, now we have been included in the very life that he shares with his Father and the Spirit. People like us—and people not like us. Enemies, foreigners, the deaf, the blind, and even the dead—are all being included in this life that Christ has come to give. He's making all things new. The world is being transformed by what he has done. And now, one person at a time, people are being awakened. Their eyes are being opened, the scales are coming off—just like Saul. Now they can see who Jesus is, what he has done, and how deeply loved they are. And not just them, but every human being. The power to experience change is being given. The power to be transformed is being offered. Ask God to give you eyes to see, a heart to understand, that you're included too—that you can participate and be fully alive and available to whatever he wants for you, whatever he desires to do through you. Ask him to make you a vessel of this life, so that you bring his peace, his hope, his love into this world, even today. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL
