Coming or Going? A Busy Week in Astrology

“Dreams can be cultivated, requested and experienced in ways that are difficult to anticipate.” Sandra Weintraub

“Dreams are illustrations from the book your soul is writing about you.” Marsha Norman

We’re entering into a time when we will be under very busy skies. On Monday the 28th Uranus, the planet of the unexpected, will station retrograde, Venus will station direct on the third and Jupiter turns retrograde on the 4th. Things can feel very much in flux when there are a number of planetary stations in a short period of time.

Uranus stations can give a sense of being “tired and wired” and nerves can be stretched. It’s wise to provide extra time for rest and rejuvenation this upcoming  week.

Uranus is also the planet of awakening and it’s wise to raise awareness to be open to new perceptions.

The Moon waxes full Wednesday  at 7 degrees of Pisces. At this time Saturn will be conjunct the Moon and the Sun will be making a favorable alignment with Jupiter, the planet of hope and expansion.  It’s a good time to keep pragmatics and optimism in a good balance  when thinking of any dreams and visions. It is also a time when it’s possible to see more clearly any self imposed limitations that are no longer necessary.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”A white dove flying  straight and fearlessly over troubles waters.”

Changing Skies as Mercury Stations Retrograde

“There will be time, there will be time…
Time for you and time for me…
And for a hundred visions and revisions,
Before the taking of toast and tea.” TS Eliot

I was awakened by a text from a client this morning which said that due to an unexpected family situation, she needed to reschedule her reading until next week. And I thought – oh yes Mercury is stationing retrograde on Wednesday. Plans often change under this influence which extends for a few days before and a few days after the exact time of the station.

It’s wise around the time of planetary stations to raise awareness to heed any information that surfaces that represents a culmination of information.

The transit of the Trickster planet  will last from August 23rd ( at 3:59 PM EDT)  through September 15.  Mercury will retrace his steps stationing at 21 degrees of Virgo and  transiting down to 8 degrees of Virgo.

This time frame presents a good opportunity for  reorganizing- and  rethinking. It provides a good time to consider if there is a better balance that can be struck when considering your health, your diet  and your daily routine.

It’s wise as always to anticipate  possible delays, miscommunications and cyber snafus during this time. Best to make sure all important information is backed up.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”Two guardian angels bringing protection.”
