We Can Change What We Have Done

The planet Uranus turned retrograde today and will stay that way until the end of the year.  The term retrograde means apparent backwards motion, we all know the planets don’t stop and go in a different direction, but we do have points during planetary movement when from earths position the planets look like they are going backwards. 

This motion has a meaning in astrology, it means we are going to go back and go over things.  The positive side to this is it gives us a chance to rectify the way we have done something, we can “change direction”.  Because of retrograde motions major planetary hits, both global and personal happen three times, we always get a hint of what or where the planets will affect us when they first make contact with a point in our chart. During the retrograde cycle we have the time to look back at what has happened or occurred in our life and think about how we may better handle or deal with something.  So those of you that have planets in cardinal signs between 0 an 5 degrees will have an opportunity to change course in stressful areas of your life.   Globally this change of direction by Uranus indicates a potential to change the way we have approached change.  We may need to reassess our wants and needs and then come up with plans that get us where we want to go.  The challenge in this is the Uranian energy is being activated and its not a patient or planning energy, and its always full of surprised so just be ready for the unexpected over the next few weeks while Uranus settles into its new direction. 

On Monday Mars is sextiling the planet Mercury, this is a great combination for stating a position or giving a convincing presentation.  If you have to make an argument for something you want to see happen  Monday is the day to do it, you have a much great chance of success.  This is also a busy energy so you may see yourself accomplishing all sorts of things.  Just be careful not to feed into a nervous free flowing energy that is none productive.

Venus squares Saturn on Wednesday, this is not a good time to make a major purchase, you may find out its not really what you want, or if you make a choice you find out its going to cost you more than you planned so the best thing to do would be put off a financial decision until the end of the week if possible, if that is not possible just be very careful.

The big event of the week is the Full Moon on  Saturday the 15th. Full Moons are always emotional; since this one fall in the signs of Cancer and Capricorn it is super charged, it's one of the more emotional Full Moons of the year.  Full Moons are all about letting go of what we no longer need; this paves the way for the new to come into our lives.  This Moon is all about how we balance our inner and outer worlds, or our family and career, our emotional needs and our security needs, what can we let go of, what do we no longer need but we still cling to because we think it makes us feel good.  During this Full Moon if you find yourself feeling angry or just uncomfortable you may not be fulfilling your true emotional needs.
