at the end of an arduous tunnel

A change of pace. Or perhaps a break in our regular programming. A big astrological change is happening in our skies that is worthy of imparting. Tomorrow Jupiter is reversing back into vedic Capricorn for his final reunion with Saturn. The grand conjunction last year that had hippies everywhere rolling in patchouli and dancing like octupi on heat - you know - when we were heralding in the dawn of a new age in Aquarius in what felt like a decade ago - remember? I mean it's fair if you do not due to the fun we've been having. But yes last year was the ending and beginning of a 20 year cycle between the two largest planets in our solar system. This was big - yet hardly big enough to the scale of what has happened and on top of that it happened in Capricorn in the astronomical sky. So put that incense away and save those undulating bodyrolls for another day. We ain't out of the woods just yet. BUT there is a light at the end of this arduously long and tediously draining tunnel we have been dragging ourselves through. Is it even a drag anymore when you're just pointlessly rolling?

Some crucial dates (in AEST) to keep an eye on - October 7th Pluto moves forward again after 5 months of intensification. We have all been through an alchemical process of transformation, death and renewal. October 11th Saturn goes direct after a 6 month retrogradation period - this has been a tough one for the everyday person as Saturn has slowed us all down. Being in its own sign has made the planet of suffering and responsibility stronger for better or worse. Those out of integrity have been hit the hardest. Anyone with planets/ascendant in Capricorn will feel an almighty shift from this date. October 18th Jupiter too goes forward after a 4 month backward hike. It has almost felt like light was being squeezed out as this planet has returned to its sign of debilitation - yet the good news is Saturn is somewhat protecting us and it's the projected fear of the months ahead that is plaguing us rather than it actuality of any true doomed future. Those with Sagittarius or Pisces will be feeling this internally the most. Finally Mercury goes direct on October 19th after screwing with our plans and communication lines from September 27 (yup it hasn't Beetlejuiced us just yet) - Gemini and Virgo brace your whacky selves!

You may remember (what day is it?) previously I posted about how Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto were the big game changes in Capricorn from 2020...well this is the start of relief from all this compounded energy. Capricorn has brought such seriousness and dryness into our lives and this long drawn out planetary retrogrades has only made it more depressing....well...that is shifting and September is where I invite you dare to see the light that is coming in...let's just help each other get through this next month, earthlings.

Stay light,
Mark :)
