Mars Retrograde and Full Moon in Gemini

Magical moments happen when we stop and take inventory.

A radical moment in time where action hits quicksand.

The mythological moment when Mars, the planet of action, is retrograde, offers opportunities to dream into our future.

For those who would rather launch projects, delivering on to do lists, prepare for frustration.

Immerse yourself in what you want next, come spring.

Creatives may experience events meant to inspire, but when you go back to look at what you have done over the retrograde period, may require retooling and reimagining.

The Gemini full Moon is on December 15. Soon afterward, Mercury turns direct.

Do not forget Jupiter which continues in the sign of Gemini, so this full Moon may expand our emotions in ways we do not expect. Feel into your emotions to tap the power of Mars retrograde in your creativity.

Most of all, use these weeks left in 2024 to appreciate how far you have come this year, what you have accomplished, and what matters in your life.

Find time to experience joy. Celebrate what you have achieved.

No matter what is happening in your world, the Aquarian Age has begun to alter our global landscape. Syrian rebels have toppled the butcher Bashar Al-Assad in Syria, and handed Russia, as well as Iran, a hard loss. The Middle East has shifted dramatically. Germany’s government has collapsed. France’s government has collapsed. Martial law was declared in South Korea, then impeachment hearings of the leader who demanded it.

Energy of the future is guided by the mythology of the great awakener Uranus, considered the modern ruler of Aquarius. If there is one piece of advice to give it is become comfortable with radical change. We are in for two decades of human evolutionary shift.

Results of how we each navigate energy individually depend on the authenticity of our choices. Choose courage.

Dream Into Your Future, Before Mars Retro

Sagittarius new Moon brings joy, vision of our future, and begs the BIG FUTURE DREAM for 2025.

Winter retrograde is about deep planning.

Mars retrograde begins December 6, but we are already on the gangplank. This retro season will last through February 25.

Soon afterward, Venus will go retrograde from March 1 through April 12, 2025.

After the long 18-year cycle that began in 2008, humanity is still integrating.

The world is the game board for this tectonic shift, as the Aquarian Age settles into its initial foundation. In twenty years, when this period is over, nothing will look the same.

The entirety of the political world will be forced to deal with this energy too, but as usual, human arrogance will make things worse for leaders guided by ego, dark energy, and shadow insecurities.

Do not become distracted by the noise.

Aquarian Age is for progress, the collective human condition, and is unsparing in lessons.

Authenticity demands its own focus, beyond the carnage lost souls stir outside our door.

Time for expansion comes with summer.

What will you create in winter’s darkness?

Wondrous Turn Into Retrograde Winter

Welcome to the world of chill. Settle in. Humanity’s rumination portal is here.

From now until the end of February, raise your intuitive antenna.

Mercury retrograde begins. Ignore the pop astrology analysis of this wondrous and creative time. Some of the most interesting creative breakthroughs happen during these regular retrogrades.

Life is not about how fast you can go, but how deep you can experience your own intuitive, instinctual nature. The path to authenticity.

Mars retrograde follows after the luscious Sagittarius new Moon on December 1. Our forward motion energy takes a step inward. A second new Moon occurs on December 30.

Gear down and slip into your creative zone.

Who have you become? Where do you want to go?

Dream to attract your next adventure. Tinker on what gives purpose to your life.

The new landing place for our authenticity takes root as we slow down.

Epic Energy Shift, Sacred Pause Ahead

We have entered an Aquarian age.

Human choice lands the collective where we stand today. Our personal choices present a new path onto territory we have never seen.

The 18-year sojourn of Pluto’s transformational energetics yields to our authentic shift. Where our new dreams and visions lead is yet to unfold.

Prepare to experience Sagittarius fire mythology on the inside, when Mercury turns retrograde on November 25 through mid-December. Spectacular moment for absorbing how change has manifested.

The big news is Mars retrograde which happens every 2.5 years or so. This begins on December 6 and lasts until the end of February 2025.

We will sit with where we have landed, where we intend to venture, and how we will plan our next journey for months.

All forward motion will stall, as inner work becomes the primary focus.

If you chose to play it safe — keeping what no longer serves instead of purging what cannot come into the Aquarian future — the next months will be a slog.

This is how evolutionary energy works. When humans dig into old and comfortable choices, the energetic winds produce friction that cannot be relieved until we toss what is outdated.

Nothing comes close to the mythological dynamics of Pluto. When this tiny outer planet meets Aquarius to demand we accept the future calling humanity.

The synchronicity of retrograde fall into winter, when slow down energy meets the quick evolving air energy of Aquarius, suggests humans will sit and stew on what they did not accomplish over the last 18 years, versus accepting some visions are a journey to what we never considered before.

Authenticity comes in many forms.

Dark energy pulls in the law of attraction in equal amounts compared to light energy. The difference between which one is more powerful is the amount of emotional heft given to what humans want.

The trick is to embrace how far our journey has brought us since 2008. Plan for the future, and do not become lost or confused by the stillness.

Disruptors Bookend Obama Era

The United States election was the mother of all finales. Dark energy rolled in. Brutal end to the Obama era.

Emotions overwhelm people when surprise is involved. This is what Uranian energy feels like when unleashed and people are unprepared.

The other side of Uranus mythology is awakening.

Acceptance is the counter to grief.

Denial takes longer.

The full Moon on November 15 is filled with charged energy. Unplug, find nature, and remember what gives you joy and make it your primary place of being. Music helps.

Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius begins November 25. When you are hurt, living through feelings, and fire energy presents, be strict with your negative self talk.

Pluto moves into Aquarius on November 19. Disruptors are in power, as the Aquarian era starts. Two decades of technocrats, crypto, medical advancement, and evolutionary speed.

When dark energy ignites in the collective, motive and morality are secondary to the combustible power of human rage.

Donald Trump is the first convicted president-elect because he received more votes.

We the People is not humanistic. America began with slavery.

Fury beat joy because anger is afoot. Human insecurity wants the “loser” to recognize the new power in charge.

“So, Dearborn delivered for Trump? Okay, congratulations. You’re going to love the next Muslim ban.” – Senator John Fetterman, Pennsylvania, Semafor

In a democracy, the side who wins gets what they want.

Court joy, the most magnetic force to the law of attraction because it originates in our heart center, not ego.

The Aquarius era is open, intellectual, collectively focused, idealistic, and detached from outcome. Air energy can be a breeze or a hurricane.

Plot your course.

Deep Centered Push Before Energy Uplift

The world is gripped by the upcoming American election. A battle between light energy and dark energy.

First few days of November will challenge people, especially shadow energy types whose egos are in charge.

Scorpio season brims with divine machinations, endings, and preparations for a new era. Spirituality is the center of this mythological water sign, so listen to your intuition, engage instincts and psychic nudges.

What began in 2008 brings an inflection point for humanity. In the U.S., it is the Obama era crescendo. The line goes from Obama to Biden to Kamala Harris. The ultimate bridge to the future.

Astronomy is the road map.

Energetic shifts happen during planetary movement, and are tied to mythological stories older than holy books. These tales offer hints from our human ancestors on the importance of cosmic intelligence.

The coming astronomy includes Mars transiting Pluto. The synchronicity of this energy as it plays out on earth may feel tense to us. People living through their shadow side may become passive aggressive, but this dynamic will fizzle.

Wrong vibe.

On November 4, the astronomy shifts and Mars goes into the constellation Leo. Play is featured. We are uplifted. #1111

So, the full Moon in Taurus on November 15, influenced by mythological change maker Uranus, could catch lazy people off guard. Saturn turns direct the same day. We will feel it.

The Universe wants humanity to cede to the fates through flow, so, let go of any urge to control.

On November 17th, the astronomy brings Uranus in opposition to the Sun.

On November 19th, the Obama era (2008-2024), ends.

Pluto in Aquarius begins.

Change, baby. When the fates demand evolution.

We Are Changed

Nothing is the same ahead.

This is life. Mutable. Painful. Beautiful.

Control is an illusion.

When we release our fears, trust our instincts and intuitive voice, we are set free from expectations.

The October 2nd annual solar eclipse is a dance between our Sun and Lilith, the energy of life and our authentic self.

All solar eclipses bring new Moon energy.

Where do you want to be in six months?

For creative projects, look to what you explored in the past that didn’t manifest the way you had hoped. It could be time to take another crack to see how your growth might aid in a positive result this time around.

Our life changes through visionary impulses.

Do not censor your dreams. Tweak your idea for the person you are today.

The “painful” part of this equation cannot be ignored. Some things, some people, some places, even our relationships are up for appraisal.

Walk away from whatever behavior no longer aids your life.

The beauty of life is when humans have the courage to make the hard choices, reward awaits.

Patience is required at this point because nothing will come easy, fast or simply at this moment.

We are in preparation for the Aquarian age coming at the end of November. Until then, do smart work.

…and do not forget self care.

Super Moon Eclipse Energy Demands Release

No time to act.

Experience I have had with Moon energy of this type is interior, emotional, and creative. The mythology of lunar events, added to my years of lived learning, foreshadows actions with the solar eclipse to come weeks later.

Liminal spaces of time in life. Threshold event or transitional moment when our creative desires are evident, but the decision to move forward isn’t ripe yet.

Choice is the engine of destiny. Our emotions are the fuel.

This September super Moon eclipse opens a portal to our deepest thoughts. Allows our wounds to be alchemized if we choose.

Mull, fantasize, and visualize.

Where do you want to be in 6 months? Remember, new creative ideas need space.

Release what you have not acted upon over months.

Do not be surprised if some idea or project drifts across your mind.

What was happening in your life between fall 2015 and late spring 2017? Astrologers believe this is the timeframe to excavate.

Answers will be apparent around October 2, when the solar eclipse adds light.

When a human heeds these organic energy paths, authentic magic awaits.

Fated Energy Proves More Important than Clock Time

Timing is meted out through movement in the Universe, where human clock time is irrelevant.

Our Monday through Friday routines are placed on top of ancient architecture most humans ignore, consider superstitious, or misunderstand.

The choices we make become the architecture of our destiny.

Fated energy comes to shake awake humanity to larger possibilities tied to evolutionary demands.

Since the end of January 2024, we have experienced intense change collectively and personally. We are not the same as when this year began.

If we were to give this change a representative mythological symbol it would be the planet Uranus, visiting the constellation Taurus until 2026.

Uranus is the “great awakener,” the ultimate change agent. As I have experienced Uranus, the energy delivers the shock and awe of what is possible for a human personally. In places where we have blind spots, Uranus can come and throw open a window, and knock a person for a loop.

Uranus will settle into its yearly retrograde season this weekend, a day before the Virgo new Moon on September 2. Humans now work on assessing the change set into motion this year.

We have been through a lot.

Integration and appreciation for what we have discovered this year so far, but also where we desire to go next. It is a moment of seeding for the future.

We plant in new Moon darkness, often misunderstanding the time it takes for our creative visions to take root.

The Virgo new Moon stirs the fall eclipse season that begins September 17-18th, depending on where you live, although these are not light switch moments.

The Pisces Lunar Eclipse will bring our emotions to the center of our lives. It also inaugurates our new focus on the Pisces – Virgo axis, with the Moon’s nodes starting to shift.

Clock time will not help you navigate the energies of life and the synchronicities between humans and the Universe above.

There is no travel on Earth equal to a human’s inner journey.
