What’s cooking in the cosmos this Fall?

Dwarf planet Pluto crosses the plane of the ecliptic for the first time since 1930 and is occulted* twice by the Moon. Venus moves through her infrequent and significant 6 week retrograde cycle, in the signs of Scorpio and Libra.  As Venus moves through her beautiful, spiraling, flower-like movements, she also transitions from being the evening star into becoming the morning star.  Jupiter finishes up its year-long journey through the sign of Scorpio and Mercury goes retrograde in November.  In other words, there’s a lot going on!

Since the planetary movements in our solar system reflect our own human evolution back to us – think about looking in a giant cosmic mirror! – these energies are worth knowing about.

On October 10, 2018, I gave a 90 minute talk outlining this Fall’s astrological events, and some of the ways we can expect to experience these energies.  As a metaphysical astrologer and evolutionary intuitive, my calling and interest has always been to help awaken an inspired understanding of the higher spiritual potentials and creative opportunities inherent in our lives at any given time, and astrology is one of my tools for doing this.  This is why we gather for astrology discussions– to consciously engage with the interesting, joyful and sometimes challenging work our souls are up to.

What does it mean when a planet turns retrograde?

Here are just a few tidbits from the Talk:

A planet can only appear to move retrograde, when it is closest to Earth while in its planetary orbit around the Sun.  During planetary retrogrades, we experience the planet’s energies differently, often in heightened, yet less confident and more internalized ways. We often experience the areas of life associated with the planet in ways that are frustrated, or slowed down.

Retrograde planets remains in a sector of the zodiac longer while it appears to back up and then retrace its path.  Retrograde cycles often invite us to slow down, refuel, relax, and reorganize.

*Occultation:  From our vantage point on Earth, our Moon moves in between us and a planet, temporarily obscuring the planet from our view.
