DECODE YOUR LIFE PLAN! IDENTIFY YOUR LIFE PURPOSE! ACTIVATE YOUR PASSION! MANIFEST PEACE OF MIND!

BACK TO THE FUTURE? THE FUTURE GOES BACKWARD? MARS IN CANCER WANTS TO MAKE AMENDS! NODAL CHANGE TO AQUARIUS/LEO AXIS SHIFTS THE FOCUS TO THE PEOPLE, NOT LEADERS!

IS IT TIME FOR REVOLUTION AGAIN? ARE THE NODES GIVING US A GOOD KICK IN THAT DIRECTION? WILL WE RELIVE THE HOUSING CRISIS? WE STILL HAVE A VULNERABLE LUNAR ECLIPSE IN PISCES. IS ANYONE GETTING EMOTIONAL? 

The Solar Eclipse in Leo may appear to be over, but as Yogi said, “It ain’t over til it’s over,” and we know eclipses have a 6-month incubation period, so this is only the beginning, REALLY. Plus the coming Lunar Eclipse is a much more emotional eclipse—Pisces is vulnerable, and look what happened in the past under Saros cycle 138:

1792-after USA revolution

1810-before War of 1812

1846-Spanish-American War

1869-Reconstruction

1918-World War I and pandemic

1954-Korea

1972-Vietnam/gas shortages

1990 Gulf War

2008-Housing crisis & crash

Seems we are going backward, along with the nodal flip that’s big on Aquarius (the people, technology) and reducing the influence of authoritarianism (we hope!!!). Plus Mars in Cancer now—Cancer is related to the PAST, guys! And the Lunar eclipse in Pisces—all gush and mush! We are also headed toward a Venus retrograde that will occur in Scorpio and back up to Libra, where it is now. Get ready for a relationship redo, and feelings will be tender.

Sun in Leo is headed toward the South Node in Leo. Don’t give up your own authority, just because your emotions or your family or past memories have you in a twist. You are still your own boss, you know!

We have a ton of retrograde planets right now, too, so if anyone has felt like Mercury retrograde is still on, it’s not, but the slow planets, especially, are going slower, and that could be the problem. Patience, dear ones! That is why we need Mars to be in Cancer, because those persistent little (big?) crab claws can help us hang on through all the ups and downs we’re experiencing! Here are the retrograde planets: Pluto. Neptune, Saturn, Chiron, Eris. Sedna, Uranus, and Vesta will join this backward group in September. So what are retrogrades about? Review. Rethink. Even, repent? Well, that’s what “repent” means: rethink the situation. What do you need to review and rethink? As Whoopi Goldberg always says, “We can do it. We’re all in this together.” But it IS time to say goodbye to some people, habits, things/ Aquarius is bringing the new, but we need to make room in our lives. Is it time for a fall closet or garage cleaning? Sometimes, cleansing the house of unused things can change everything in how your life is going. I always say, “New house, new you. New car, new you. Clean closets and drawers, clean mind.” Clean desk? Well, sorry, folks! In my case, that isn’t happening! I told my boss once that if you ever see my desk clean, you will know I am not working!

Week has Venus in Libra moving into an opposition with Saturn in Aries. This can get you engaged, but as I always tell folks, get the ring, but don’t get married for one or two years. No quickie wedding plans, please! Saturn is retrograde, and Venus is about to go that way. Also, just this once, I would say, check out the merchandise before signing on the dotted line. That Venus retrograding in Scorpio could be a real game changer, folks, and could make you glad you didn’t go down to City Hall. I mean it! ;) The lawyers in the crowd may disagree! ;) They stand to make money off divorces!

Mercury and Jupiter in Leo might be good for self-promotion and taking on leadership, but the South Node and Sun in Leo connecting this week say, don’t come on strong. Because the South Node will weaken the leonine authority, so don’t go overboard. Bye to the tyrants. Hello to lovable leaders. At any rate, there are still opportunities available, this week. Answer your dang phone! 

Ceres and Mars are still nuzzling a bit in Cancer, so this is your last chance to get some honey dos done. Mars is going to take off and leave Mama Ceres behind, and you need help with the harvest, so here’s a good time to use your lovable Leo personality to get some help from the fam. Sugar works better than vinegar to get requests attended to.

Unfortunately, Chiron is heading backward toward Aries, and we may find ourselves alone again if we don’t get out those Saturnian handcuffs. Once Chiron leaves Taurus in early October, due to its retrograde motion, it will go back to Aries until April of next year, when it will return to Taurus. So, again, we have another opportunity to consider over the fall and winter; do you want to be alone forever? Or shall you try out being in a relationship or a community? Think about it. Review, rethink, repent. Just don’t make anything legal yet! While we review what’s happened in the recent past this coming fall/winter cycle, remember that last year, the entry of Saturn and Neptune in Aries was a promise that we are going where no one on this planet has gone before. So here’s my suggestion: What about peace? What about love? What about helping the less fortunate? Oh, Jesus said all that stuff. Yeah, what about that? Shall we refuse to go to war? Shall we refuse to hurt others? Shall we refuse to be meanies and instead be kind? Hmm. I think Jesus was the original Aquarian! 

There are a load of trines this week (mostly fire—so impulsive and passion could heat things up) and some mystic rectangles, too! The rectangles bring some tension, but the sextiles and trines ease the working out of these challenges. Mars in Cancer and the North Node in Aquarius can rise up together to get stuff done. Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini can make some things happen quickly. But that Uranus in Gemini, coupled with Sedna (“I think I may have said the wrong thing”), well, they could change your world in an instant. We have seen that last week. What did I say last week? “Attention!” What am I saying this week? How about “Cuidado!” How about, “Watch your mouth!” Yep!

Mars in Cancer squares Neptune in Aries all week, another reminder that who knows what can happen? You may not see some stuff coming—except that I am telling you, right? Watch your mouth. Help your loved ones. Get engaged but not married. Be empathetic and caring. Carry tissues with you this week. I also remind people, NO crying in your beer songs this week! Watch comedies only this week! Make sure you have your HAPPY SONG available at all times, in case the emotionality of the week gets to you. And always remember this. Saying “I’m sorry” helps a lot. How about the ho’oponopono practice? “I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.” I know a few astrologers who need to be using that right now in earnest. But we all can use that. And while you’re at it, do it for Hawaii as Hurricane Lala makes its way past.
