It's Getting Intense, My Friends!

Because once again, the Celestial Gears Shift. ??

It's the Cosmos, ????♀? constantly moving, shifting, adjusting. Nothing we can do about that.?

The question is,?

• How are you going to deal with it??
• How can you prepare?
• Are you?willing?to make the changes required?

We find ourselves on the cusp of yet another cosmic phenomenon—the?Mercury retrograde, in Aries is set to commence on?April 2, 2024. ???

This means we are now in the midst of the shadowy dance that precedes and follows the retrograde.?

The Retrograde Waltz

On April 2, Mercury pivots into retrograde motion. Communication glitches, travel hiccups, and tech tantrums can be expected.?

Look at it as an invitation to slow down and?Recalibrate. Far too many of us just rush along, too often mindlessly. During the retrograde, we are offered a natural period of?Retreat of the mind.

Action Tip: Pause before you hit “send.” Read any contract?trice?before you sign it.??Revisit projects,?Revise plans, and embrace the art of introspection. Your inner compass knows the way.

The Prelude is The Shadow Period

But before Mercury does its backward move, it roams through the?shadow period. Imagine Mercury, our cosmic messenger, looking over its script backstage.?

I suggest you go back to March 19, when the shadow period began. Take note of what happened during the period?19 Mars - 2 April. You might notice déjà vu moments during the actual retrograde. ??

Action Tip:?Reflect on unfinished business.?Revisit old journals,?Reignite previous interests. Pick up on unfinished projects.?

On the 25th he recovers his forward movement again, and you can move ahead with what might have felt stalled, complicated and interrupted between April 2-25.?

It's the other phase of the shadow. A forward movement where you put things in order and polish your ruffled feathers. This stage lasts until May 13.

But wait, there's more!?

Ah, the cosmic crescendo! Tomorrow, Monday, at 8:00 AM CET, the?Lunar Eclipse in Libra?graces our skies, thus marking the beginning of an?intense?eclipse season!

Feel free to revisit the last issue of Next Week In The Skies, where I explain the impact of eclipses and nodes. ????

Action Tip:?

• Seek closure.?
• Release what no longer serves you.?
• Write a heartfelt letter (even if you don’t send it) to heal old wounds.?
• Libra knows, that Harmony is an inside job. Inside of you, I mean.

Another factor to consider.

I told you, it is intense!???

As we prepare to navigate the cosmic currents of Mercury retrograde, shadows and all, let's inspect its intricate communications with Chiron, also in Aries. This alignment adds an extra layer of depth and?Recuperation to our journey through the retrograde waters.

?? Mercury, the planet of communication and intellect, will pass over Chiron, the wounded healer and teacher, in Aries three times during this retrograde period.?

How deep are your wounds?

This conjunction invites us to delve into the realm of woundedness and self-discovery. As we confront old wounds and embrace a kind of rehab journey, it's wise to remember others are going through the same. Of course, it depends on how it's placed in your chart, but be prepared: emotions might run high all around you for a few weeks ahead!

Chiron in Aries prompts us to?confront our deepest vulnerabilities about expressing ourselves,?putting ourselves first?in our own lives, and embracing the warrior within. It calls us to acknowledge our pain and transform it into wisdom and strength.?

As Mercury retrograde intersects with Chiron, we are offered a profound opportunity for introspection and confronting wounds we might have ignored previously. But with the eclipse in Aries on the 8th of April, I suspect you can already feel the tug and pull of these energies and archetypes playing out in your life.
