Excuses for not writing in a few weeks. There are so many planetary happenings that it is hard to keep up. Planets changing signs, directions and speeds mean our lives are shifting as well. When so many planets are involved it is hard not to find anyone who has not been affected. Not that we are saying the planets doing their dance are causing these things to happen -as we are not saying that-we are saying that the planets are tolling the bells to "wake up" and use their cycles in our capacity as co creators to effect whatever movement is warranted in our lives.
It began (there are no beginnings because it is all a process-just as we will not walk through a threshold on December 21st and into the next Enlightenment) but this current rapid fire shifting period began June 24th-25th when Saturn turned back direct after being in his retrograde phase since February 8th. Those Capricorns or Aquarians or those who have those signs ascending in their birth charts take note: your ruler has now moved forward and so shall you. No more backsliding. Mercury also changed signs into Leo that day and the two outer planets Uranus and Pluto made their 1st of 7 exact squares, that being the most important aspect for the next 3 years (sudden shifts in power).
Just 3 days later on June 28th, Libras and Taurus had their ruler, Venus, start direct after a spell of apparent backward going since mid May. The Venus station has influence over our love life, money, values and artistic sense. After this period of retrograding, if an old love did not come back into your life then perhaps you more clearly identified who or what you want in a lover; and so being clearer about what you want from the universe, insures its easier manifestation. That same day was Chief Robert's surprising ruling and sudden shift, which was astrologically noted as the Sun connecting to the Uranus/Pluto square which we spoke about last time.
July 3rd saw the Full Moon and Mars, after a long spell in Virgo enter Libra. All you Scorpios and Aries take note-energy is being put forward into a new area of life. As planets change signs they also change areas of life where energy is focused. It will happen even if you are not consciously aware of it. But the consciousness will expedite things as the energy will be more available to work with. If for the past 9 months, we have gotten used to Mars being in our 5th house of artistic endeavors, enjoying ourselves, being children orientated, for instance, then as Mars moves into Libra, you might notice that focus shift. Now it is time to get to get back to work, the daily grind and your yoga fitness program..
Then we had the heat, July 4th crowds and last Friday the 13th, Uranus the planet of upsets and rebellions come to a station to go backwards until the 14th of December. If you are feeling rebellious this weekend for no apparent reason, and if you need something to blame, you can blame him. And last but not least we have Mercury stationing dropping to a slow speed, actually all of last week and as of last night apparently moving backwards in early Leo until the 8th of August.
It is good to reflect back now as Mercury, the fastest of planets, has no speed and is to stopping so much running around the Sun to apparently standstill for 3 weeks. Time to assimilate and absorb all that has occurred in our lives this past month. This week also brings us into the dark of the month period-those last days before the next New Moon just after midnight on Thursday the 19th. Never good timing to initiate anything new in these days-not enough energy to bring the project to fruition; and with Mercury retrograde to boot -you might change your mind about it.. One can speed ahead and exert our will forces but having the planets sailing in the right direction keeps the wind at our backs and the moving ahead effortless.
The only signs not seeing shifts in this time frame are the Pisces and Sagittarius, but their ruler, Jupiter, changed signs just before this period on June 12th when Jupiter moved into Gemini after a year in Taurus. Welcome Jupiter and all the opportunities and good fortune he brings to all you Geminis-but watch for excesses and weight gain!!!
