Uranus brings sudden changes and upheaval, and can also bring sudden insights and revelations!
NEPTUNE is travelling in retrograde motion also, moving from 20 to 19 degrees. of PISCES. Neptune has been sitting at 20 degrees for a while, and will affecting anybody with planets or angles at this degree. It is a very slow moving planet, so the effects happen over a long period. Neptune has a dissolving quality, and people experiencing a transit may feel as if everything is out of their control, things could be happening that they can do nothing about etc., It is also an opportune time to deepen your connection with spirit and engage regularly in meditation practices, and any type of creative activity that you feel drawn to.
PLUTO is travelling retrograde also through Capricorn, moving from 23 to 22 degrees throughout August. Another very slow moving planet, and impacting those with planets at these degrees.
Throughout August there will be 5 planets Retrograde, and Chiron in Aries also went retrograde in July. With a lot of Retrograde energy, we have the opportunity to re-do, re-visit, -re-organise, re-structure etc., The energies tend to be more inward focused, which gives us an opportunity to review our lives and make any changes we may feel guided to make, as we travel forward on our journey.
Wishing you all a great August.
Until next time,
Blessings,
