Saturday’s 10 degree Sagittarius new moon (10:21 p.m. pacific), right on the heels of a Sag Mercury retro, promises to keep us entertained and amused…
…as long as we can take the kind of jokes it’s dishing out. Yep, that’s what three shots of shoot-from-the-hip Sagittarius energy gets you.
I don’t know about you, but I felt this retro coming for a long time, like even before the storm (which started around a week ago). So I’ve already been dealing with a few of these cosmic “jokes”, mostly courtesy of “tech support”.
I’ve mentioned this before. But the key to your sanity and nervous system regulation at this time is to not let the jokes get under your skin. I have said to more than one client in the past few days, that the lesson of the moment seems to be: “Don’t go ape$#!+”
Isn’t a new moon supposed to be a good thing? You ask. Well, yes, and this one really is. However, there are a few challenging aspects, and, in case I forgot to mention it, a Mercury retro.
Oh, and Mercury is not the only planet that is retro. Jupiter is also retro, which may cause delays in receiving the good that is coming to us. And a couple of the heavy-hitters: Uranus and Neptune, which can cause big upsets and big mis/disinformation. Trust your gut and vet your sources.
And while the outer planets are still in good aspect, this time is reminiscent of more difficult times in the not-so-distant past, so be aware that old resentments are likely to re-emerge, as well as distorted nostalgia, which, on the other side of the coin, can cause us to romanticize elements or people of the past.
I always tell clients that if an ex-lover re-emerges during a Mercury retro period, it does not mean you are meant to get back together. In fact, it usually means the exact opposite. And this is a particularly emo retrograde, what with the larger planets stirring up the rose-colored memories.
So just chill. If you are truly meant to be together again, it will keep until the retro is over. You will be more clear-headed then, and better able to articulate your truth.
OK, let’s talk about the sun/moon conjunction at 10 degrees Sag. Sagittarius is the sign of luck, travel, teaching, expansion, and adventure. (What do you have at that degree in fire or air signs (positive), or mutable signs (challenging)? This will tell you where your luck and/or lesson resides.)
If we look at all of it as fun, even the mishaps, miscommunications and missteps, well, something good will come out of most things that happen now. It’s like traveling to foreign countries. There are bound to be things that don’t go to plan. Embrace it as part of the journey, and collect the stories.
Want some more good news? Venus and Uranus in trine could stir up a few whirlwind romances, and “meet-cute” scenarios abound. The same is true for lucky finds if you’re shopping. This is not the same as impulse-buying. It’s more like retail synchronicity, or finding the very thing you’re looking for, often in a place you wouldn’t normally find it.
And speaking of shopping and romance, most mistakes made during a retro are reversible. I still don’t recommend getting back with the ex-, but if you do falter, at least you’re not stuck with them forever (please don’t get married in a Mercury retro!)
Another good thing: there’s plenty of motivation, drive and physical energy, as Mars trines the sun/moon conjunction. You may also be able to enroll others in your projects and causes now if you play your cards right.
Want the boss or others in a position of power to hear you out about an idea you want implemented in the workplace? Yup, this could be a good time to bring that up. Choose a happy moment, and go for it, keeping in mind that you may have to remind them later. Even if you’ve already pitched your idea, this could be the repeat/reframe that grabs the attention of powerful people.
Yes, this is an overall positive new moon, and progress can be made. Trust your intuition as to when and how to make a move. I will post the bright spots in the retro cycle on Patreon.
New Moon Blessings,
