16th November 2018: Mars enters Pisces, Venus stations direct in Libra, 17th November Mercury stations retrograde in Sagittarius

Hi everybody!

Whew!  That New Moon doorway was dynamic. 
We're in new territory with that nodal shift and the ground may feel a little shaky even as Jupiter wants to get us moving. With a new planetary earth star energy in Capricorn, establishing a firm foundation of stability and physical security is the first call. And ruler Saturn...one step at a time. Balance and focus on the here and now as we accustom ourselves to this new landscape

New territory:  New playing field...finding our feet!
What a shaky old transition through the New Moon energies, the nodal shift and Uranus and Jupiter bringing a gear change.  The ground felt a little shaky as we moved through the ‘doorway’ onto the other side.  New territory, new playing field.


Remember:  The planetary nodes...did you feel the earth move?
North Node is Soul Star Chakra now in Cancer: water, emotional
South Node is Earth Star Chakra now in Capricorn: earth, physical

We’ve got a whole new base of operations for the planet and of course plugged into all of us.  As we work with divine alignment of karmic nodes both at the earth and soul dimensions, we’re clearing and uplifting old energies for the planet and therefore for us.

Scorpio life, death and rebirth carrying us through the throes of change!
Still travelling in the light of the Scorpio Sun until 22nd November so more death and rebirthing assisted by the New Moon in Scorpio lunar energies which rule our inner lives until the New Moon in Sagittarius on 7th December. 

The open road beckons:  New potentials, new avenues to explore!
Nevertheless, with Jupiter in Sagittarius the open road beckons with the potentials emerging of new roads and avenues for our forward movement. So important not to try to pin everything down to certainty just yet.

Overview of energies this week:  

Mars, Venus and Mercury on the move...gear change
These three planets are what’s called ‘personal planets’ as they most directly impact our personal lives with change on a regular basis as they move faster than all the other planets, changing signs more often and bringing in new energies which bring a gear change to our hearts, minds or bodies in the way we relate to the world. The Moon of course moves every 2 to 3 days so is the most immediate change bringer. 
Mars, ruler of our physical body, fire and drive: Catch a wave!Moving into the water sign of Pisces
Emotional cleansing in the physical body, fire and drive
Venus ruler of our heart: Holding steady
Stationing direct in the air sign of Libra
Heart and mind alignment
Venus is sitting on 25 degrees from 11th to 22nd November
We're in a holding pattern with the heart
Turns direct on 16th and holds on 25 degrees until 26th November
Mercury ruler of our mental body and mind: Holding steadyStationing retrograde in the fire sign of Sagittarius
Spiritual alignment of the mind/mental energies
Mercury is sitting on 13 degrees Sagittarius from 14th to 19th November
Turns retrograde on 17th November and holds on 13 degrees until 19th November, turns direct on 6th December
The personal planets will be working through 3 different elements which govern the emotions, the mind and the spirit. 
We hold steady and let the cleansing of the past year just clear out all the cobwebs, grief, struggle, pain, exhaustion. Just chill and let in the the love.


16th November: Mars enters Pisces at 9.20 am AEDT
Emotional uplift for the body!  Be in flow!
Until 1st January 2019
Diving into the ‘ocean of emotion’:  Allowing the currents to take us on!
Mars, our masculine warrior of fire and drive ruler of our physical body takes to the Pisces ocean for a cleansing, healing release in the spiritual waters of higher consciousness.

Let the Pisces wave lift the spirit:  Open to the artistic and spiritual urges!
Mars is all fire, drive and physical action and for that reason can find the waters of Pisces a little bit too damp for comfort as Pisces opens us to the inner, artistic urges, spiritual messages from ‘out there’/inside.

Be calm and let the anger wash away!  All resistance must go!
Mars is locked into the old energies of fight or flight of warmongering when a challenge appears but in the expansive consciousness of Pisces there is no chance of that happening as Mars upgrades to new ways of handling life.  He cannot fight the ocean.  He needs to go with the flow.

Unresolved buried emotions in the body are cleansed and purified!
As Mars is ruler of our physical body, his dip into the Pisces energies can bring out those unresolved emotions held within our physical memory banks whether it be personal, ancestral or planetary.

Therapeutic channels for clearing:  Water, Art, Music
We’re working with a refinement of our Mars warrior energy along with our physical body. It’s not about dampening our enthusiasm.  It’s more about the calming of the fires of anger, resentment and locked in fire which needs releasing in a more productive creative form. Swim, paint, sing! 
Mars rules the head and eyes
Pisces rules feet

16th November:  Venus direct in Libra at 25 degrees 15 Libra at 9.51 pm AEDT
Let in the joy!
3rd December Venus enters Scorpio
17th December:  Venus leaves shadow retrograde
10 degrees Scorpio...new territory
11th to 22nd November:  
Stationing on 25 degrees Libra...intensity through this time. 
Interesting that Venus is sitting on this degree opposing Uranus 29 degrees and both still squaring off to the Planetary Nodes right through to the end of the month when there’s an exact opposition of Venus to Uranus on 30th November. So relationship issues continue to be in play as we rebalance our needs and wants against partnership needs/wants. The Sabian Symbol for this degree seems particularly relevant in this balancing act. Times during ‘stations’ intensify the energies.  
Coming out of the retrograde labyrinth:  Breaking up or re-uniting!
We’re about to discover just how much heart reclamation, rebalancing and re-alignment karmically has been going on.  Relationships of all kinds have been undergoing review and reconsideration resulting in people either breaking apart or having a break from partners, workplaces, careers, places, homes. This period has taken us into some soul searching about our needs and wants, desires and what brings us joy. 

Relationships may have gone to a deeper level of connection:
At the same time other relationships have been going to a deeper level of commitment through understanding, acceptance, working in partnership at a heart level with a focus on divine love and its power to heal.  This may apply to all relationships, work, friends, family.  We’re working things out for us to move on with a new understanding and acceptance of ourselves and what is meaningful to us.

Memories:  Emerging from the past!  Reclamation of our hearts!
What golden nuggets of divine joy did we rediscover in this retrograde reflective period? We’ve been healing so many spiritual wounds held in our hearts from this and other lives, pulling in all those lost parts of ourselves which have been holding pain, hurt, grief, loss, disappointment, anger, jealousy, resentment, fear, guilt, blame, shame...need I go on?  I’m sure you get the drift.

We’re recovering any energies which have been outside divine love and acceptance.  ‘All of me...why not take all of me’!

Time to choose divine joy and divine love:  Time to trust again!
With all the backtracking, self-examination going on this year, a lot of us are feeling very shaky, unsure of whether we’re safe to step out and start up the heart again.  No rush with this.  Adjustment to accepting joy, peace, love and the passion of being in the flow will be our brief for a little while.  No need to push when life is flowing our way.  Let the love in, call it in!

Sabian Symbol for Venus’ station in Libra:  From Lynda Hill www.sabiansymbols.com
Libra 26
AN EAGLE AND A LARGE WHITE DOVE TURNING CONSTANTLY INTO EACH OTHER
This Symbol implies the ability, or the necessity, of being able to integrate the principle of the will (the “Eagle”) with the principle of the emotions (the “White Dove). Being able to bring these two together makes for a much stronger effect on others and the personality is strengthened and given an edge that it otherwise might not have. There may be confusion around whether to use force or love in some situations. Being firm and yet kind, being flexible and yet sure of what you’re doing or where you’re heading keeps one on an even keel. Alternation of these responses will lead to the best solution. Tempering one's will with love and bolstering up one's emotional responses with strength. Cooperation of mind, will, spirit and heart. Being strong and soft. Considering others.


17th November: 
Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius at 13 degrees 30 Sagittarius at 12.33 pm AEDT
Time travel!
1st December:  Mercury enters Scorpio retrograde
6th December: stations direct at 27 degrees Scorpio
13th December:  Mercury enters Sagittarius
24th December:  Mercury moves out of shadow 13 degrees Sagittarius
14th to 19th November:  Mercury is in station at 13 degrees Sagittarius
This is the time when we are held still and asked to let go of our mental processes, connecting to the higher consciousness.  Stationary periods are a very powerful time for receiving messages which seem to just drop in from the ether. 

2nd to 20th November:  
Mercury is travelling out of bounds...tune in to the cosmos!
Gathering new consciousness, ideas and thoughts.  This is time outside time.

Mercury meets the Great Attractor:  Galactic upgrade!
Significant connection for Mercury at this stationing degree signifying higher consciousness, galactic knowledge and connections coming through not just as they connect but for the whole Mercury retrograde period.

Back to the future:  Take ‘problems’ to the stars!
Mercury takes to the airwaves with the fire of Sagittarius!
Talk about powering into higher consciousness!  Sagittarius is the call to access higher knowledge and consciousness beyond present understanding.  Its expansive energy just adds to this whole Mercury retrograde period as our Mercury vehicle enters the realm of higher understanding via Sagittarius as well as via the Great Attractor and via Mercury’s out of bounds journey during most of his retrograde sojourn. Open to galactic connections and information!

Mercury retrograde takes us on the inner journey:  
We reconnect to the past, our history, people, places and experiences of significance!
We’re reworking, rewinding, rediscovering, renewing, recollecting and revamping our mental operating system and mental bodies. It’s a time when we re-visit possibilities from the past.  Could be dreams, ideas, plans and schemes we put aside, put onto the backburner.  Now we reconnect to these past energies possibly with a view to bring them back into our lives. Let them emerge, develop and grow!

Discover and reconnect with that old spark within:  
The Sagittarian bonfire is firing up!
With Mercury in Sagittarius we’re reconnecting with the old fire that sparked our optimism, hope and enthusiasm.  We could all do with some of this magical energy after such a major year of wading through graveyards and shuffling earthbound energies into the light.
There’s no need to rush to put this energy into play.  All in good time.  The New Moon in Sagittarius on 7th will be starting point for bringing the joy and enthusiasm into play with possibilities gathered in the cosmic journey.



The Sabian symbol for Mercury’s station seems particularly relevant for his retrograde journey with ‘the power of the past coming through’.

Sabian Symbol for Mercury’s ‘station’:  From Lynda Hill www.sabiansymbols.com
Sagittarius 14
A VAST PANORAMA OF SAND AND TIME IS UNFOLDING; THE PYRAMIDS AND THE SPHINX IN THEIR GLORY RISE BEFORE THE EYE
This degree shows the power and strength of history and grandeur, along with issues to do with spiritual mysteries and intellectual records and the building of grand monuments and empires. An interest in ancient civilizations often comes with this degree or there may be the desire, or need, to establish some type of monument, or perhaps work at it or worship it. You may be working at building an empire, yours or another's as this often implies pyramid selling and large economic structures. You may need a tour guide and a map and the determination to build things in exact measurements. Power of the past coming through. Spiritual ancestry. Big business and enterprises. Predictions. Prophets. The desire to build a personal edifice. Ancient languages. Lost cities.

25th November:  Neptune stations direct in Pisces

That’s all folks!

Hugs all around!

Back with the otters going with the flow of the Piscean ocean.

We’re coming into the final weeks of 2018 as we start feeling a release from the vice like grip of so many retrograde energies along with the power of Jupiter in Scorpio demanding a big let go of past energies which do not serve out growth in consciousness. By Christmas Day we’ll only have one planet in retrograde motion...Uranus. 

Next stop, Sun moves to Sagittarius followed by the Full Moon in Gemini when the moon brings new clarity

Love and blessings to us all as we negotiate this new ground after the nodal shift bringing ourselves into harmony, balance and more clarity as Mercury will help us re-work and regroup in terms of our thinking.
