THE TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGING — BIG SHAKE UP WHAT NEXT ? THE BIG RETROGRADE !
Four big planets have changed signs the minimum for 1 year (Jupiter-Cancer) the other 3 ( Saturn 7yrs Aires Uranus 7yrs Gemini 13 Gemini- Neptune14 Aries) Wow these are the BIG GUNS. And after giving us a jolt, they go retrograde, each in their time but back direct by Jan 2026. Lets unpack what is happening.
First the cardinal approach to retrograde: Review Rethink Respond. Even beginners learn this, Mercury rx keeps reminding us of this 3 times a year.
With this many long, slow, planets lined up here. Foundations, Boundaries, Zeitgeist, Governments, AI, Economics, Climate, Social norms. I could go on and on, but you get the picture. Predicted by or reveled by Swami Sri Yukteswar at the beginning of the 20th century. Poor guy, didn’t get to see his prediction come true in 2025.
Here’s the deal: we get the big planet action and now in retrograde we get to do the great RRR. We get to evaluate and review it, which this rex with to see how we respond and rethink and respond. The first thing is to hope this review period is a slow down of the looming chaos. A hope bigger wave of violence can be averted. (We Hope) Two big hits of Saturn Neptune Aries, the god of war spells out this problem with flames. Oh, temperature of the planet breaks records ear year now, another flaming problem. Neptune aflame means boundaries will go. Voting, trade, constitutions, rules of law, etc. We’ll all get burnt some how.
Jupiter in Cancer (ruled by the moon) with family and human concerns, emotional feelings may bring some sense. Maybe calmer seas will give hope. But with droughts sometime flash floods and even pollution can bring concern. Water for agriculture? Boarder problems with nations seeking to fight for it. But spirits are water for the soul. Can we find some peace of mind inward, eternal light of grace give strength.
Please don’t take me as a Cassandra, the wild woman who brings big problems and doom like lighting in her eyes. But not explain what is happening between and the new year is to miss my point. This is the time that if things are going to get better, this is the formula—we as a cavillation get things right is going to take strong resistant energy.
There are a variety of the inner life philosophies, along with yoga, meditation, nature that makes life richer. Work where you can, with the environment you live in. Work with people for do the helpful things. I know how hard this might be with leadership who has cut food stamps school lunches, the 2% buying the control through money of the democratic future of our lives. All you can do is what you can– have faith that somehow this retrograde period will bring adjustments that improve our fate and justice will prevail. Keep strong loving friends and family for strength.
