With the Cardinal Grand Cross that we are experiencing this summer there are lots of oddities and quirkiness happening . One of the reasons for this is the fact that this galactic alignment is mostly comprised of Cardinal signs [ initiators] and that some of the most restless [Uranus / Mars/Jupiter ] , energetic [ Mars] , chaotic [ Uranus/mars/ Pluto] and transformational [Uranus/Pluto] planets are lending their energies to the fray. So we are seeing starts and stops and chaotic transformations and beginnings which may take some time to smooth themselves out or figure out WHAT change they want or exactly WHY they want other than just the fact that they are angry.
As of the end of July through the early part of August Mars and Saturn will be joined in late Virgo and early Libra. This is an uneasy pair as Mars is impulsive and raw while Saturn is disciplined and reserved . Mars is also in it's opposite sign which serves as an irritant , so we now have the ANGRY child being told to slow down and think and be calm. For people with children out there ..how does that normally end up ?
Another thing we are dealing with is the fact that many of the planets go retrograde during this cycle so their focus and energy turns inward or reflective. What this means to us is that we end up with lurches of movement forward spreading chaos , ridding ourselves of past baggage or Karma and blazing new trails . Only sometimes we don't know where we end up after this transformation. We know we are in a different place or a different relationship or different job, but , is it better or just different. That is part of the purpose of planets going REtrograde ,we get to REdo or REdiscover things. Sometimes it takes monumental effort to make change , so much so that we overshoot the target or overcompensate to the opposite side. As a planet goes retrograde we then get to go back over those steps and REtrace our steps and make sure that we choose the correct new path or that we have the chance to make corrections or change completely around again.
As the planet Mercury[ mental processes ] goes into Virgo on July 27th this gives us a good chance to analyze our previous decisions and see what additional changes need to be made. When Mercury goes Retrograde August 19th we will then REtrace those steps and REvisit the area's we made adjustments in to make the next wave of changes and then moved forward with our plans when Mercury goes direct September 11th.
