Mercury stations retrograde!
Here we go - or is it here we don't go :)
What are you RE-THINKING?
Answering to a retrograde Jupiter it is time to re-think, re-vise and re-evaluate the Gemini/Sagittarius axis of our lives. Expect possible glitches, delays, tech/transportation/communication issues as the retro gets started.
PLUS, a powerful Grand Fire Trine launches the week - let's unpack it!
MONDAY - Mercury stations retrograde, GRAND FIRE TRINE
TUESDAY - Sun trines North Node - GRAND FIRE TRINE
WEDNESDAY - Sun trines Mars - GRAND FIRE TRINE, Venus squares Chiron
FRIDAY - Pallas enters Capricorn
SUNDAY - SAGITTARIUS NEW MOON
On MONDAY - Mercury stations retrograde at the powerful 22nd degree of Sagittarius. Mercury will get all the way back to 6 degrees Sagittarius when he/she will station direct on December 15th.
Collectively this is about legal revisions, foreign situations, changes of belief, religious revivals, rethinking hope/optimism, changes with travel plans or returning to places we have been before. Personally, this will be about the dynamics of our Gemini/Sag houses - Mercury in Sag retrograde answering to Jupiter in Gemini who is retrograde and answering to our retrograde Mercury in Sag. Try saying that three times fast. Actually - we might be, because, have I already said - MERCURY IS RETROGRADE which is all about re-peating patterns and re-turning to spaces we have already covered. Think you missed a step/opportunity somewhere? Well, maybe you haven't.
This will have its own post next.
On TUESDAY - WEDNESDAY (really this is in play from about Saturday - Thursday) the Sun reaches 4 degrees Sagittarius and trines the North Node at 4 degrees Aries - 3-5 degrees is going to be BIG in a couple years, so this might be the time we are starting/ending/changing something that is going to have LARGER ramifications for us later.
This is a fire trine! WE GOTTA TAKE ACTION. WE GOTTA BELIEVE. Hope/optimism/confidence is driving us forward. On a mundane level this can be about legal situations, foreign situations, travel situation, religious situations, education/publishing - what Sagittarius stuff have I missed here? - pulling us forward/leaning us into a BRAVER, more self-sufficient, more independent future. Mars is in Leo pulling in situations with children, following our heart, romance, creative projects. Grand Fire Trines are rare (more common when they involve the Moon, but then they are not as long lasting) - use it or lose it.
Take action. Stay motivated. If you are going back to something you have done before (Merc retrograde at the same time) or something you missed, even better. If you have to CHANGE YOUR THINKING to make this happen - best of all.
Venus reaches 19 degrees Capricorn and squares Chiron in Aries. The way through this tangle/frustration/tension which will likely involve a vulnerability with our career or public life, is, of course, that GRAND FIRE TRINE. Maybe it is the public wound/career vulnerability, the thing we want that we can't have or that we no longer have - THAT feeds the fire in the first place.
Have faith. Have confidence. Where is the open door? What opportunity did you miss or what has worked before that can be re-invented? What are you afraid to do, but know you need to or could? WHAT DO YOU NEED TO RE-THINK?! A BIG New Moon in Sag is just a couple days away - how can you set yourself up to better take advantage of it?
When our ancestors, many eons ago, were introduced to fire, surely some ran screaming into the woods, never to return.
But think about what happened to those who were brave enough to stay. Courageous and optimistic enough to allow entry to the thought that MAYBE this strange thing they would one day come to call FIRE could be helpful.
Maybe even LIFE-CHANGING.
(and I can't help thinking about Trump here, don't shoot the messenger)
Do we want to shiver in the cold or make smores over an open fire? We can't see where this thing is going to go - in Sag, things are just TOO BIG to see where they end or to know what is real and what is inflated. But maybe we can start with a bag of marshmallows.
Maybe it is as simple as this right now.
On FRIDAY - Pallas joins the burgeoning Cappy party with her entry into this sober sign of winter. A 'father's daughter' archetype (and by this I do NOT mean princess), Pallas is perfectly comfortable here answering to daddy Saturn. Our goals become more FOCUSED and strategic. Our problem solving becomes more 'old-school' and engaged with serious matters likely involving our stability/long-term planning and most likely our career and public life. Our plans are more deliberate and ambitious with Pallas in Capricorn.
Stay sober.
On SUNDAY - the Sagittarius Moon catches up with the Sagittarius Sun at 9 degrees giving us this month's New Moon - our annual New Moon in fiery Sagittarius. We only get THREE fire New Moons a year folks and we will want to make this count - we just have to keep in mind that Sag ruler Jupiter is retrograde and answering to a retrograde Mercury in each other's signs. This will be tricky, but POTENT.
This will have its own post.
With all the Sagittarius this week - we need to stretch ourselves even knowing we are going to be BACKTRACKING.
Take what you think is possible and then MAKE THOSE THOUGHTS AND THOSE ACTIONS A LITTLE BIT BIGGER.
Have faith and courage and stay optimistic. There is something FALLING INTO PLACE. Keep moving. We can't see what is around the corner yet (which is why we need FAITH THAT IT IS GOOD), maybe because it isn't even there yet, and, maybe because, with the North Node of Fate in Aries - we might need to be the one to MAKE THE FIRST MOVE.
xo all
