The Great Retrograde Gathering

From August 28 to September 3, a unique celestial event is unfolding. All our planetary neighbors — from transformative Pluto to expansive Jupiter — are simultaneously deciding to dance backward, entering their retrograde phases.

Retrogrades often get a bad reputation, but I like to see them differently. Picture the universe nudging us, whispering, “Take a moment. Reflect.” During these times, our emotions might swing a bit wildly — from profound insights to nostalgic trips down memory lane. I’ve been grounding myself with simple rituals like meditation or evening walks, ensuring I stay balanced amidst the cosmic whirlwind.

With Mercury retrograding, communication becomes key. It’s a gentle reminder to double-check our words, ensuring our messages come across as intended. It’s also a time of revisiting: old conversations, past decisions, and even rethinking future plans. What have we learned? And where do we wish to go from here?

Then there’s Neptune and Uranus, amplifying our intuition. Trust in those little nudges and gut feelings — they often guide us more accurately than we realize. And, as Jupiter and Venus both turn retrograde, we’re presented with an invitation to dive deeper into our relationships and values. What truly resonates with our hearts? What connections uplift our spirits?

In essence, this period is more than just celestial bodies moving backward. It’s a golden opportunity for introspection, growth, and understanding ourselves in profound ways. So, as the skies shift and change, let’s harness these energies, growing and evolving in sync with the cosmos.

Always,
Your Trusted Friend ❤︎
