Hello, Haight-Ashbury!
With several outer-planet retrogrades ending soon, you may start to notice a shift in energies as things progress forward again. If some of your seeds have been germinating, they may be getting ready to sprout.
By the time you’re reading this, Neptune will have gone direct for the first time since early July. Neptune is often related to inspiration and spirituality, both personally and across generations. The last time Neptune was around where it is now was ~1860.
If Neptune features prominently in your chart, you may notice the funk you’ve been experiencing lately is starting to subside, and it may get a little easier to access your spirituality. Where will your dreams take you?
Around New Year’s, Jupiter goes direct after being in retrograde since early September. Jupiter is generally related to expansion and good fortune. Those affected most by Jupiter may start to feel a sense of growth or unfolding after a period of withdrawal… perhaps both psychologically and fiscally. How you share this bounty may be part of your practice.
Finally in late January, the Uranus retrograde that began late August will come to its completion. Uranus is the planet most associated with revolutions and sudden change. The last time it was around where it is now was ~1940. Resisting change doesn’t often work, so what can you do to prepare yourself for the shifts ahead, both in your life and in the world at large? How do you show up for yourself and your community when things get wonky?
With all these cycles overlapping, if the pace gets intense, remember it’s okay to take care of yourself and to ask for help. We’re all going through these times together, so you are never truly alone. Also, it’s important to remember that astrology is a type of “weather” forecast… not everyone is affected similarly, and a little preparation can go a long way.
I hope you enjoy the holiday season!
