When the floodwaters subsided after the Great Flood of Noah's generation, [which occurred during the month of Scorpio] he first opened a window before he left the ark.
Beyond the literal interpretation of this seemingly mundane action, the Zohar reveals a great secret. When a person is attempting to free himself from difficult circumstances, he must open a window in his soul, thus creating an opening in a heart that has been blocked and boxed in by ego.
Often, this entails a willingness to ask for help - sometimes from another person, sometimes from the Light of the Creator, whichever causes the most pain to our ego.
The spiritual influences arising from this month diminish our ego in a merciful fashion. They create an opening within the soul of all humanity, a global window allowing the Light of the Creator to radiate throughout existence.
In order to let the Light in, we must be open to seeking assistance from friends and strangers; willing to converse with the Light in whatever way is natural for us; and never disregard any event in our life, no matter how small or insignificant it might appear to be.
