Noteworthy celestial events that occurred in the past week are a few planets going into retrograde, and a “blue moon” on Friday!
These events are usually more tied together with our own personal battles than we’d like to admit… The reason why they’re so valid is that we were originally stardust! And we’re also ultimately affected by large-scale magnetic and gravitational tugs. Plus, sometimes it’s fun to have a little help when piecing together all of life’s mysteries.
The significance of this past week’s Blue Moon is not its rarity — the term means two full moons happening in the same month, and the next one is in 2018. Its meaning is actually the magical way it helps us keep our feet on the ground and our heads in the clouds at the same time! Maybe its undertones say something different to you… Maybe you’re realizing the culmination of your work or the details to making your life more satisfying.
since the blue moon isn’t actually blue.
Venus and Uranus both went into retrograde last week.
But what is retrograde?
When Earth passes by another planet it gives us the illusion that the planet slows down, stops, and then starts moving in reverse. In truth, it only appears as if this happens – planets don’t generally orbit backwards. However, here on Earth it’s the friction (caused by one planet passing another) that we feel the effects of. Sometimes this friction causes abrupt jolts on an energetic level that force us to face the things that require change — even if we aren’t ready to admit change is needed!
You might notice that questions you had from long ago are sorting themselves out and effectively smoothing over areas of your life. Or maybe the mysteries are unraveling more slowly, and you feel a strong urge to solve them once and for all!
In order to have beneficial change, sometimes we need to exit the comfort zone… You may be feeling strange things right now and that’s OK! Occasionally it helps to make decisions that FEEL right to you… instead of decisions that only make sense rationally.
This is a great time to welcome the idea of a huge transformation. Never fear the alternatives! Sometimes life hands us interesting (and seemingly random) opportunities, and often they really are worth considering!
This is also a time of contemplation and reflection in the areas of passion and love. People may be unexpectedly coming into or going out of your life right now. In relationships, try not to be hasty, because sometimes it’s easy to misread signals or gain an unbalanced and distorted perception of a situation.
A time of reflection could also mean coming to terms with things, or even braving the lessons that have revealed themselves.
It’s only once in a blue moon that you get this rich of an opportunity! 😉
Thank you for reading and I hope you’re having a great week.
Yours in calmness,
