Happy November!

After celebrating Samhain and All Saints Day, we are now moving more deeply into the shorter days and darker evenings of late Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. This is the time of year when we nourish our roots, rest, and do our deep inner work so we can find our inner light and shine it from the inside out.

The Powerful 11:11 Portal provides us with a wonderful opportunity to reach the great Beyond through the 43rd Gene Key of Epiphany!

Happy Thanksgiving to our American Friends! Wishing everyone a gentle month.

Gene Keys Sessions with Peter

I offer individual Gene Keys sessions, as well as group and business readings for new or evolving projects. By exploring each person’s profile, especially their natural gifts and areas of resonance, we can gain insights into how to co-create in a balanced and synergistic way.

For group work, this also includes recognizing potential shadows or obstacles that might arise, allowing teams to approach collaboration with greater clarity and understanding.

This process can gently illuminate challenges before they grow, or help navigate those already present, supporting smoother communication and a more cohesive working environment!

If you’d like to learn more, please feel free to email me.

November Newsletter 2026: Merlin Lives!

Richard Rudd’s Triple Merlin event in Victoria was a success on October 10th, which just happened to be the Triple 10 Stargate (10/10/10) during the New Moon in Libra! He treated us to a wonderful exploration of Merlin the Wizard and his ability to transcend Time and Space.

It was a lovely surprise for many to see Zia appear on stage during the opening, as he had invited her to co-create a special ceremony where they would weave sacred elements from both the UK and Vancouver Island. Richard brought sacred water from 50 different Holy Wells in Ireland, peat from the Highlands of Scotland, and embers from the original Beltane fire in Ireland. Zia brought waters from a local sacred spring, peat from a Vancouver Island Bog, and embers from a Western Red Cedar that had been struck by lightning. Together, they opened a beautiful sacred space before blending the waters in one glass vessel and the peat and embers in another, marrying together the energies of the two ancient lands, and blessing them along with all who had gathered for the event, both in person and online. It was a powerful opening to the day!

The event was called the “Triple Merlin” as Richard was dividing his presentation into three sections: past, present, and future, including readings from his unpublished work, “The Oak Ring,” while he was cloaked in Merlin guise. For the Past, he focussed on sharing stories of his own ancestral lineage through time - including Ireland, Scotland, Iceland, and England. Apart from sharing fascinating stories, he was encouraging us to reflect upon where we have come from in our lineage, where we are going, and our own personal “songlines” as we travel the Earth.

For the Present, he asked Jamie Rose to intuitively choose three people to share the creatures they’d picked from the Dream Arc card deck to illustrate the Shadow, Gift, and Siddhi aspects of the Gene Keys. For the shadow, it was the Grub, representing the need to journey deep down into the underworld to eke out what needs to be released. For the siddhi, it was the Nuthatch, a bird that helps us to raise our frequency as high as it can go through a distillation process, and for the gift, the bridge between shadow and siddhi, it was the Cow, the mammal who ensures that we nourish ourselves with the Milk of human kindness as we move through the process. Then we, the audience, randomly selected a Gene Key to represent us all for the day, and it was the 7.6, inviting us to hold the greatest possible Vision for the New Earth coming in through our own guidance and virtue!

For the Future, Richard described the form of the new human being, the transformation taking place inside us, as we become more crystalline in nature and living longer, potentially to 120! He then led us through the 7-year cycles that guide us through our lives pausing at certain critical times, including the cycles of our childhood, the first Saturn return around 28 years old, Uranus opposition at 42 years old, and the second Saturn return around 56-60 years old. It really got us thinking about critical times in our lives and how they impacted us, both challenges and opportunities that we have experienced at very specific ages. And while all of this was going on, a ball of golden thread was making its way through the audience, connecting us all together with a beautiful resonance that we could actually feel through our fingertips. The entire day was a thoroughly magical, entertaining, and thought-provoking experience!

The following evening, there was a gathering of almost 100 people at the “Merlin’s Mingle” - an opportunity to do just that, spend time meeting, reuniting, and celebrating with people of like heart and mind at a local pub, The Bard and Banker, which we thought was highly appropriate for the Bard himself, Richard Rudd. Now we are left to process and contemplate the after-effects of such a powerful weekend in our beloved Victoria. Our deepest thanks to Jamie Rose and Matthew Ashdown of Sleeping Phoenix Productions, who spearheaded the organizing of both events in a most magnificent way! And also to Amanda for her beautiful Land Acknowledgement, Kristine for helping take care of logistics over the two-day period, and David, the magnificent harpist who accompanied “Merlin” throughout the readings. Elijah and Tanmayo also made appearances on stage, each sharing their own unique wizardry and magic.

The stage set for the Triple Merlin should also be noted – Phil Gardner brought mystical living trees that served as a wild backdrop, and Amanda, Jamie, and Zia brought simple, natural items for the Altar that held a powerful space throughout the entire production. We are so proud of our local community. While all this was happening, Oracle Girl was holding her October Immersion, traveling to locations where she was intuitively guided to go. The bulk of her time was spent in Arunachala in the South of India. Sometimes called “The Hill”, it is a site of Lord Shiva, and a place where people go to Embody pure Love and become Enlightened. Her focus was to release the fixed self, and now she has moved to China to assist us in stepping deeply into our Divine Body.

October was a largely challenging month with very intense energies, not least of which were Venus and Mercury both traveling in Retrograde motion. They will both turn direct on November 14th. The Venus Retrograde was particularly significant, as she was moving backwards through early Scorpio, where she enters the underworld to dig deep into what she needs to release. On Friday, October 23rd, she returned to zero degrees of Scorpio to meet with the Sun going in the opposite direction. This is called an inferior conjunction as she moves between the Earth and the Sun. It is also called a Venus Star Point. This is a really elegant astrological alignment. Every 8 years, Venus forms five conjunctions with the Sun in five different Sun Signs, creating a perfect five pointed star returning to where she started, just 2 degrees further back. As this was at zero degrees of Scorpio, the next one will be in late Libra, and this means that this is the last Venus Star Point at zero degrees of Scorpio for one hundred years, and it also completes a one-hundred-year cycle since the last Venus Point at zero degrees of Scorpio. This is a massive completion of an old cycle and the beginning of a new one. Time for us to assess where we are in our lives today. What to let go of and what to take forward with us into the New Earth energies, without compromise.

The American Mid-term Elections on November 3rd in Mercury Retrograde should be interesting. Pluto is exactly where it was when the Declaration of Independence was signed 250 years ago. Pluto the transformer is asking, “Has the Declaration been fulfilled yet?” If not, change needs to take place, and we need a new form of Government that actually serves the needs of the people. Let’s see what happens! November should be somewhat smoother with the New Moon in Scorpio on November 9th taking place in the 1st Gene Key, a uniquely creative energy quickly followed by the 11:11 Portal Gateway of Awakening. The Full Moon on November 24th is a Super Moon taking place in the 20th Gene Key, with the Sun in the 34th Gene Key, which activates the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix, including the 59th Gene Key and, most importantly, the 55th Gene Key of the Age of Aquarius. This invites us to align with our higher self and a new level of consciousness to bring in a New Vision with Grounded Clarity.

Have a great month!
