Friday’s Lunar Eclipse and Mercury Retrograde

“Wrong was easy, gravity helped it.
Right is difficult and long.
In choosing what is difficult
We are free, the mind too
Making its little flight
Out from the shadow into the clear.
In time between work and sleep.” Wendell Berry

“Life is sending you signals.” Samuels and Carson

Friday’s Lunar Eclipse is at 24 degrees of Virgo at 2:55 AM EDT. Both Saturn – the sign of tradition, boundaries and limits and Uranus, the planet of innovation, surprises and the unexpected are playing significant roles. This can give a sense of a push and pull effect and contribute to indecision.

It’s a good time to reaffirm commitments particularly any having to do with improving health and daily routines. There can be breakthroughs and a strong desire to move away from old habits.

It can be a bit of a nervy time. Best to keep equilibrium in mind.

Mercury is slowing down to station retrograde on the 15th at 9 degrees of Aries.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”A teacher gives new symbolic forms to traditional images.”

Neptune and a Call to Action

“There are some people who
live in a dream world
And some who face reality.
And then there are those who
Turn one into another.” Erasmus

We are in an interesting time frame now. It is a good time to work on clarifying your visions for the future and preparing to take action on it in late April.

Mercury is slowing down to station retrograde on the the 15th. Mercury’s retrograde lasts through April 7. He will station retrograde at 9 Aries and backtrack to 26 Pisces.

Venus is retrograde now – she stationed retrograde at 10 Aries and will retrograde back to 24 Pisces  on the 13th of April.

The more significant news is that Neptune, the planet of dreams and visions will leave the sign of Pisces and enter Aries on April 18 and return to the sign of Pisces in August for a six month stay.

There’s a common theme here -with the emphasis on these two signs -Aries. the sign of beginnings, courage and  bold action – and Pisces, the dreamy, ethereal sign of the imagination.

This time frame – before the end of April –  the gives us space to dream about the future, consider and reconsider, and be ready to take action on desired  initiatives at the end of April.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”A crystal gazer.”
