Today is a momentous day… and yet it’s a relatively unassuming almost quiet one : No fanfare no fireworks. There IS a shift, however imperceptible at first. Although we may not at first recognize it ; it’s here. The great Blue revolutionary planet Uranus went retrograde in the sign of Gemini this morning at 5° 41 minutes of the sign of the Twins around 11:37 AM on the West Coast of North America. This is important because the great radical unpredictable unusual planet ruler of Aquarius is now in the friendly air sign of Gemini for at least the next 6 to 7 years. The Retrograde prompts a mental reset and re-evaluation of how we communicate, think things through, learn, digest and process information. It is critically important because it might seem that there’s been a great deal of tension, angst ( heat and humidity!) for a while. Uranus Rx will tend to internalize, refine, soften things now and we will have time the next few months to reassess,reevaluate,and revisit our decisions,our plans,and our goals for the coming months. The Retrograde will be a good time for communication and actually rebuilding some bridges, reestablishing contacts, and firming up our alliances. One caveat: For the next few days it may still seem a bit tense because Uranus is also the ruler of earthquakes, electronics, sudden shocks, revelations and Great Change. This may also affect the weather and the world stage as we see it.
The other big news today is the New Moon in Virgo which occurs tonight at about 8:27 PM Pacific at 18° 25 minutes of the earth sign of the Virgin. This lunation is the book end of the powerful and slightly difficult maudlin and melancholy eclipse we had in Pisces two weeks ago. The the time for surrender and release is now over. Now we renew or even begin anew. Tonight’s new moon is a time to plant seeds,to make intentions, to move forward in expectation and planning with regards to dreams goals and long delayed ideas, wishes, hopes, or projects. The interesting thing here is that it comes at a time when so much has fallen apart one might wonder how or where do I rebuild?The key here is to repurpose, reframe and to reboot.
Virgo rules healing, all things medical or holistic, the body,metaphysics and health and wellness related industries/ issues. One of its most powerful concerns is self-care. This is a very good time to move ahead with a new regimen in terms of your body,your exercise, your diet, our Duties of Care or simply taking better care of oneself. It will support and enable encourages step by step practical even incremental, yet deeply satisfying and meaningful changes in our daily routines, our work structures, our habits and that can lead to significant long-term long lasting Benefit. We shall See!
