Re-Feminist History (aka Bitchstory)

Well if you are feeling a bit unclear about the direction of your energy, your goals, etc., perhaps this will help you understand why: Pluto retrograde in Capricorn Jupiter retrograde in Aquarius Neptune retrograde in Pisces Uranus retrograde in Taurus Saturn retrograde in Aquarius Mercury retrograde in Libra This retrograde-a-palooza happens every year, with a minor change up in the starring characters. All of the outer planets retrograde every year for about half the year. We know Mercury retrogrades 3-4 times a year for about 3 weeks each. Venus and Mars only retrograde once every 18-24 months. The latter 2 are the most noticeable for many people. We do have Venus retrograde at the very end of this year. Mars won’t retrograde until October 2022. Because the majority of our planets retrograde regularly and for several months each, and due to the fact that the outer planets tend to offer less personal fuckery and more social issues, retrogrades do not really jack with us individua...

Well the good news is there are NO quincunxes this week! Woohoo. There is one pretty tough square between Mercury and Pluto, and that could make things a bit intense. That aspect will be repeated because Mercury retrograde will be going back over that area, so that is a theme to keep an eye on. There are two oppositions this week, and those can be a bit unpredictable. Oppositions get a bad rap in astrology, in my opinion. They aren’t the same energy as squares, which are definitely a strong conflict. But even squares have their positive side, because they act like an impetus and can be very motivating. Oppositions are not necessarily the scary & negative thing that they are made out to be. Like 2 people who are exact opposites, sometimes it can be stimulating, interesting, and juicy. Sometimes it can be annoying. This week we have 4 trines, which are the sweetest aspect. Trines are natural and easy, and point to things that come naturally to us. We may not even notice thes...

This week feels la bit foggy. We start the week with Neptune opposite the Sun, and this does not make for clarity and logic. The the middle of the week we have Mercury in my favorite aspect to Neptune...quincunx! That’s confusing. Then we end the week with the Full Moon in Pisces (Neptune rules Pisces), so I expect that to be pretty emotional. It can also be very artistic. There is some desire this week to push ahead toward our goals, but the path is muddled and unclear. So it is best to just get your crayons and not push too hard. Next week is much better in terms of knowing which end is up, but then we get Mercury retrograde. This isn’t a bad thing. Mercury in retrograde offers you the opportunity to go back over your goals and plans and see if everything looks OK. Progress can still happen during Mercury retro...it isn’t the stuff of nightmares necessarily. But you should be loose and flexible with your expectations and timelines.   Creativity is a great way forward t...

I’m so glad there aren’t as many transits to discuss this week, because Bitches, I am TIRED. The week starts out with a lot of activity and that Virgo New Moon that I discussed last week. In the days following that I think we are best served with a certain amount of stillness to let the dust settle. Mother Nature makes this sort of obvious by the lack of major transits for most of the week. I double checked to make sure I wasn’t missing something. I may still be, but I’m running with this, because we all need this vibe! "Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen - that stillness becomes a radiance."    -Morgan Freeman "In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you" - Deepak Chopra "Everything that's created comes out of silence. Your thoughts emerge from the nothingness of silence. Your words come out of this void. Your very essence emerged from emptiness. All creativity requires some stillness." - Wayne Dyer ...
