Mercury and Chiron begin their retrograde journeys this week, bringing the retrograde count to seven planets (joining Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto & Ceres). Retrogrades are times for review, taking us backward over familiar ground so that we might see it in a different way. Both planets are in fire signs, in trine to one another, so there’s a lot of energy at play. In addition, they’re both currently stationary, adding an extra buzz to the air.
“I gotta be me!”
Mercury is the messenger of the gods and speaks to our mind, nervous system and communication. In retrograde, it’s renowned for causing glitches in communication and electronics. Its position in Leo adds playfulness, passion, and drama to how we’re all expressing ourselves, especially early in the week as Mercury trips over Mars on its turnaround, adding an additional boost of energy… and potentially, aggression. Leo also means that hearts are involved, and pride – trying to impress others, perhaps. Best to aim your attention inwards on your own “why’s”. Mercury remains in retrograde until the end of the month.
“Who am I anyway?”
Chiron is our Wounded Healer, triggering traumas and vulnerabilities to bring them up for healing. In Aries, we’re digging in to the very core of who we are. Chiron continues its retrograde until mid-December. Be conscious of the roles Chiron tends to play: victim, villain &/or heroic healer. This is an opportunity for you to re-write your story.
This is a good time to lean into the creativity of your self-expression. Play! Create! Surf those waves! It may reveal new facets in understanding YOU… &/or who you are meant to be.
