Revelations

The universe invites us to slow down and review how we expend our energy with a double retrograde in fire signs. Mindful Mercury in Sagittarius is reversing until December 15, but it is not in a demure mood. Energetic Mars in Leo is doing the backward boogaloo until February 23. Retrogrades bring delays, reversals, conflicts, and collapse of things contemplated. We are witnessing these transits play out worldwide. Rebels are on the verge of overthrowing the Syrian government; the South Korean President declared martial law for six hours, the French government collapsed, and Romania's election results were annulled after systems saw over 85,000 cyberattacks. It was announced this week that eight US telecom firms were compromised by a Chinese hack campaign this summer. The Salt Typhoon campaign accessed millions of Americans' calls, texts, and voicemails. The hackers are still in the system. The US government suggests that everyone uses encrypted messaging apps as protection. This is a n...

Facing your Fears

Please take the opportunity to ease into 2023; the energy is tumultuous. The double retrograde of the action planet Mars and communication planet Mercury is bringing scheduling delays, hassles, reversals, and unexpected burdens.

Also, there were over 20 nominations for the ISAR board. The board cut the list to 7 for voting, and I am not on the ballot. The selected candidates are top-notch.

Rumor Has It 

 

It is hard to believe that 2022 is coming to a close; how time flies! I am starting a two-week vacation as a docent at my favorite wellness spa as I write this. Airy Gemini rules communication and transportation. The Reporter, the Social Butterfly, and the Gossip are archetypes. The ability to absorb numerous facts and communicate them concisely with panache is a Gemini superpower. How perfect that I will give directions and my opinion on which activities will suit the tastes of new guests. I need the downtime as I live the life of the Two of Pentacles tarot card. It needs to stop. You can only juggle so many balls in the air before a few start to hit the floor. In part, I will use the time to consider how I can most effectively use my energy to benefit myself and the community I serve.

This lunation is tricky. Passionate, fiery Mars is retrograde and tightly conjunct the Moon and opposite the Sagittarius Sun. In mundane astrology, the Moon rules the people, and the Sun rules the...
