Insights and news about astrology and tarot
The current backdrop is not just Jupiter travelling through his own sign. There is also Mercury, who turned retrograde at 13 degrees Sagittarius in the early hours of Saturday morning. Mercury, always retrograde for 3 weeks at a time (3 times a year) is in mischief mode.
Last week I wrote that it was arguably one of the most important weeks in this year’s calendar, and the huge surge of change is ongoing. There’s one spoke in the wheel to contend with – Mercury turning retrograde this week – but Jupiter’s arrival in his own sign of Sagittarius last Thursday is now the big backdrop.
This is arguably one of the most important weeks in this year’s calendar, hence the phrase ‘plate spinning’. Top of the list is Jupiter’s change of sign – coming up on Thursday.
Paving the way to that ingress we start with the Scorpio Sun linking with Neptune, currently on his own long journey through his own sign…
Both Venus and Uranus are retrograde, and they both get back to 0 degrees of their respective signs at the same time hence the exact opposition. Venus then backslides into her previous sign of Libra, and Uranus will backslide into the previous sign of Aries next week.
Mercury is currently travelling through Scorpio – and Venus is still retrograde in Scorpio – and the week starts with the two meeting up. Generally Mercury – Venus conjunctions are good news, but just bear in mind that Venus is retrograde so there is a hidden element at work or a complex emotional thread running through the weave.
