For a while now, all the retrograde you could ever need for one low long frustrated time has been the story of the planets.
When I first wrote this, we had 7 planets in retrograde. You might have felt like a character from David Lynch’s red stage in Fire Walk with Me…speaking backwards, making no damn sense whatsoever.
Perhaps it was your internal landscape that was, and still is, in some weird version of rewind completely unfamiliar and wonky.
My experience was one of a deep internal review and a necessary relinquishing of almost all things to Source. I have no choice. My manifestation work is a crock. Goes nowhere. Doesn’t work. (For me.)
Luckily the universe will be stopping rewind and pressing play over the next few months…except for one key player.
Below are upcoming, or already passed, stations direct:
Mercury, October 2
Pluto, October 8
Saturn, October 23
Jupiter, November 23
Neptune, December 3
Chiron, December 23
Uranus, January 22
Yay for forward motion!
But Mars, the planet of action and adventure, goes retrograde on October 30. In Gemini, this might have more to do with cars not starting or communications getting out of hand. Still, doesn’t it feel like it’d be nice to rest for a minute before having to decipher confusing and agressive messaging from late October to mid-January?
Granted most of the currently retrograde planets turn retrograde regularly, so it’s not like we don’t experience their waltzing often. But I think Uranus in near aspect to the Nodes ups the weird unknown factor. Also, its square to Saturn adds in the push-me/pull-me element of tradition versus future-facing.
Does Saturn in Aquarius act like a lone-wolf? Does Uranus in Taurus describe wild sensual abandon?
In an infinite universe, how do these two work together? They obviously create some metaphysical friction. What do we do with that energy? And particularly when so much is retrograde, what do you do with that energy to transform deeply internal processes?
For me this process has been a serious “Let Go and Let Goddess!” energy. Which does not mean I’m flopping on the couch and hiding until it’s all over. It means I’m standing here firmly in my own power and waiting for serious inquiries (message, cues, synchronicities) only about next steps.
It’s actually quite liberating.
