Retrogrades, Eclipses, a Stellium, and an Abundance of Caution
Okay, I haven’t seen this sort of a thing in a long time. Part of it is the current transits (Mercury Retrograde in Aries, Venus Retrograde in Aries and Pisces, a fat stellium, and a pair of eclipses, one in Aries and the other in Virgo and Pisces). The other part is the extreme variety of ways people are feeling and responding to those transits. I have seen people handle worse transits with more joy, ease, and grace. I know part of it is the socio-political-economic impacts of the times we live in. But still, it made me curious. And cautious. I had a feeling there was more to it than that.

Oh, the Eclipses!
Historically speaking, there are probably no more confusing and controversial transits in astrology than those of the Solar and Lunar Eclipses. I often hesitate to write about things like this, about moments like now, because there is already so much online chatter I just don’t want to add to the noise. Sometimes I want to write but just can’t get to it because the intensity of the transit is really impacting people, so I am working more than usual.
