A Shift in the Energy

There is a shift in the energy as two planets change signs and one planet goes retrograde this weekend. Jupiter quietly back peddled into Pisces at 1:10 am EDT on 10/28, Mercury dives into Scorpio on 10/29 at 3:22 mile m EDT and last but certainly not least Mars stations retrograde on 10/30 at 9:26 am.

With Jupiter retrograding from action oriented Aries into contemplative Pisces we could feel a slow down. This is emphasized by the Mars retrograde too. Jupiter spent the beginning of this year, from the last days of December 2021 through May 10, 2022, in Pisces so be prepared to revisit topics from then, especially from April and May. Jupiter in Pisces is more nebulous and philosophical, generous and optimistic but may just be wearing rose colored glasses. He remains in reverse until November 23.

We feel like detectives when Mercury slips into Scorpio, digging into the sordid details to find the nugget of truth. The planet of communication is zipping along right now and only has until November 16th to mine the depths of this fixed water sign.

We are already feeling the stagnation that comes as Mars grinds to a halt in Gemini, taking his time to switch gears and retrograde from the 30th until January 12, 2023. He won’t clear his shadow until mid March, so whatever you are working on may get stalled until then. As this action planet runs in reverse we want to return, review, react – the rule of re but with verbs. This can get frustrating but it’s an important lesson in taking our time and using patience. Remember to rethink before you speak since Gemini is known for fast talking- you may have to retract what you said.

Overall, this is an time to slow down and take our time. Think things through and weigh our actions. Go deeper with our emotions and see what surfaces.
