This fall is full of changes in direction and eclipses
This autumn, not only solar and lunar eclipses will invigorate your energies, but you can also expect frequent changes of direction, both in the sky and on Earth. But there is no reason to panic.
In the past few years, we have become so accustomed to sharp changes in direction that we would feel a sense of loss if the end of this year did not have a twist or two in store. Don't worry, for the sake of the same thing, we won't rest even as we move towards winter, there will be plenty of tasks to be adjusted in terms of the development of our destiny.
Back and forth movements
Just so that we don't get bored, a lot of things are happening in the sky this fall as well, so also on Earth as a reflection of cosmic energies. Mercury enters its second retrograde phase this year in September. In October, Mars begins retrograde. The two fate planets also change direction, first Saturn moves forward in October, then Jupiter in November. Moreover, Pluto, symbolizing radical changes, moves in a direct direction in the middle of autumn. The second half of October and the first half of November are permeated by the cardinal energies of the partial solar and total lunar eclipses occurring on the Aries-Libra axis. Changes in direction on the square. This is how we arrive at December. This year, the last month of the year is enriched by Mercury turning retrograde.
What should we expect?
Basically, you can expect changes in direction, adjustments, and changes, but of course the individual formula shows who can expect change in what area of life and at what level. Broadly speaking, the following topics may be affected during the autumn.
MERCURY retrograde: September 10 - October 1.
We have already written about the retrograde movement of Mercury. Neighbor issues, breaking up and re-evaluating friendships, making ways of thinking more flexible, practical restructuring of everyday life, prioritizing tasks, as well as getting back to a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise can all come to the fore.
A question to ponder:
From whom do my critical thoughts about myself (my performance, my work, my appearance, my achievements so far) come from?
SATURN direct: October 23.
We are in the Saturn-tail period, the energies of Saturn in Capricorn are much more intense, this in itself brings intense transformations, the birth of new systems. This period helps to get out of narrow life situations that lead nowhere. It teaches flexibility and patience, respect for time and acceptance of karma, the heavenly order.
A question to ponder:
What kind of life situation have I narrowed myself into that made me cramp?
MARS retrograde: October 30.
Mars will return from the first degrees of Gemini, from its own naksatra, Mrigashira, on October 30, and will go direct in Taurus on January 13 next year. Mars rules Rahu, which represents future karma, and the total lunar eclipse on November 8. The retrograde period of Mars will favor the mapping of our thought patterns behind our actions. We can more easily realize what behavior and response we use to cut ourselves off from our desires.
A question to ponder:
What duality characterizes my words and actions, what is the root of the opposition between these two?
JUPITER direct: November 24.
Jupiter went retrograde in Pisces. Self-deception, lack of clarity, showing things in a better color, unjustified enlargement, balloon effect; the search for new goals can be the effect. This position may also affect the issue of teaching and teachers, it is possible that we have outgrown our teacher, the hierarchical relationship between us has been rearranged, and a phase of our knowledge expansion has ended.
A question to ponder:
What are my goals? What past experiences do I want others to see me as good for? Why do I believe that I can only be loved with conditions?
Since both planets of fate and Pluto move forward during the fall, it is highly recommended to resolve the impact of karmic/previous life/transgenerational traumas, errors, sins, negative patterns on our current life, and the emotional injuries and mental programs caused by them. Because our fate is only partly determined, we are able to change it.
