With deep power now moving forward, we complete a time of energizing isolation in our essence, ready to progress from that new foundation toward harmonious fulfillment of our true nature.
After weeks of mental reflection, Mercury ends retrograde at 6:14am Tuesday 9/29 Pacific time, in Virgo, resolution of practical situations. This is happening as the sun has moved into Libra, early autumn in the north, a fresh mind for love and harmony, while the moon has joined retrograde Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune--creativity, healing and dreams--in the visionary awareness of Aquarius, stripping us to our essence amidst the pattern of our involvements. This is the holy moment the Jews call the Day of At-One-Ment: solitary alignment at the heart of awareness, forcing us into right relationship with life's interdependence, key to moving through the challenge of the coming winter to the flowering spring that lies beyond.
On Friday 9/11, deep power Pluto completed months of internalizing in the primal nature force of Capricorn and began moving forward with transformative expression. Now, the big planets backtracking in visionary Aquarius, energizing our oldest wounds and deepest dreams, will shift from internalizing challenge to unfolding manifestation--expansive Jupiter on 10/12, healing sensitive Chiron on 10/31, deep feeling Neptune on 11/4. They will join together at the winter solstice in late December. It should be a good Christmas.
Recent tension between grounding in practicality and wisdom in tenderness--Saturn in Virgo opposite Uranus in Pisces--has now broken. We are moving on. Soon, grounding moves into loving harmony as wisdom emerges into spring passion, both charged with primal power--Saturn into Libra, Uranus into Aries, both square Pluto in Capricorn. This is good, but could be disruptive. The force of nature is breaking through resistance. It our job to accept the miracle of creation, settled with the peace of divinity amidst all unfolding drama.
