July 2018 - Lions and Eclipses and Retrogrades ...oh my!

July 2018 - Lions and Eclipses and Retrogrades ...oh my!

With two of this summer’s electrifying eclipses arriving and expansive Jupiter ending a four-month retrograde, it’s all systems go.  Or is it?  We still have five planets in retrograde motion throughout the month which brings up unfinished business to finally finish. Messenger Mercury and dominant Mars have just begun their retrograde orbits along with organized Saturn, dreamy Neptune and transformative Pluto. It won’t be easy, but we have to try to maintain our equilibrium.  My advice is to focus on what you can do and not on what you can’t.  Plans and goals are not going to come to fruition or really get started until September when the planets return to direct orbit.  Do your research and put in place whatever is necessary, so you are ready when the energy is released.  I expect after keeping things at a simmer all summer, when we finally do get a chance to get going, things will happen quickly.

Uranus in Taurus - The Bull in the China Shop

Uranus in Taurus - The Bull in the China Shop

For the last 7 years, Uranus the planet of change and innovation has been in active, aggressive Aries.  We had overhauls to banking and commerce.  The way we communicate with each other has changed with the ever increasing use of Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram.  There have been dramatic upsets in politics, such as our most recent presidential election and the Brexit vote in the UK.  Now we are on the precipice of a new era as Uranus moves into Taurus on May 15th.  On this same day the New Moon moves into Taurus as well, making this the most fertile time of the year to initiate new beginnings in the material world.

March 2018 - Spring Awakens

March 2018 - Spring Awakens

March has always been an unpredictable month.  The bridge between winter and spring, the weather is always questionable, chilly one day – warm the next.  We can see small bits of green pushing upward toward the Sun, the promise of spring and more daylight ahead.  But as soon as we think about putting away our Parkas, along comes a late snowstorm, reminding us that it’s not quite over yet.
