This post is all about RETROGRADE Survival, since we will soon have 6 planets retrograding. We may all be a little shook by this but it actually isn’t that bad.
When a planet is retrograde it appears to moving backwards in the sky, although it’s not actually moving back it still affects our energy here on earth. Retrogrades force our focus inward which can be really frustrating, take some time focusing on shadow work.
Here’s the planets, what to expect, and what to do to get the best out of retrograde season:
Mars- June 26 to August 27
This retrograde is in the energetic planet of war and passion, in the emotionally detached sign of Aquarius. Expect hotter than the weather emotions during this time, emotional outbursts and delays are likely. Stop taking things so personal right now and find a way to chill out.
Jupiter- March 8 to July 10
Jupiter is the planet of expansion and luck, currently retrograding in the sign Scorpio. Expect travel plans to be pushed back or cancelled, and depending on your personal chart placements you may experience money troubles or more ease when it comes to money. Take this time to re-evaluate your beliefs about money and sex, since Scorpio controls sexual energy.
Saturn- April 17 to September 6
Saturn is often thought of the opposite of Jupiter, so think constriction and responsibilities. This retrograde will push you to get to work as it is in the sign of Capricorn. Don’t rush the process, take things slow and make deliberate moves so that you won’t become overwhelmed.
Uranus- August 7 to January 6
Uranus is currently in Taurus, this retrograde will focus your attention to how you handle your money and love relationships. Expect the unexpected, and rely on your heightened intuition to help you through.
Neptune- June 18 to November 24
Neptune is right at home in the sign of Pisces! This is a wonderful retrograde because it’ll help boost creativity. Focus on your dreams but avoid trying to escape your reality.
And our fave, Mercury- July 26 to August 19
Mercury Retrograde is super popular, it happens around four times a year and is known for causing miscommunication everywhere, messing with our tech devices and causing trouble on the roads. I personally don’t have time for petty miscommunications so I tend to really withdraw and focus on growing my own personal intuition through divination and meditation.
This Friday (july 27th, 2018) will be a full moon, accompanied by the strongest & lonegst visible lunar eclipse of the century!
With Mercury turning retrograde the day before, & 4 other (primarily) masculine planets which are currently in retrograde, there is a great amount of masculine cosmic energy. Because of this, this full moon lunar eclipse will be extremely relevant to what is currently happening socially in our world at large.
This is a time that calls for review, inward looking & clearing. Spiritually, this moon is asking us to take active & vital steps towards healing a wound that has been untreated & festering for millennia.
This moon seeks to truely awaken people, & to help them acknowledge that there is a real problem, & perhaps, each individual needs to examine their own behaviour & beliefs. Whether you’re ready or not, this full moon lunar eclipse will be holding up a mirror & not all of us will like what we see.
During this time, the karma of our soul will be stirred. If we pay close attention, we may even get a sneak peek and/or a reminder as to why our soul chose this journey. We look at life through our physical eyes & see things as good, bad, unfair etc. but our soul tends to see things very differently.
With the moon in aquarius, this eclipse will push us as individuals. It is going to hit us right where it hurts in order for us to clear, release & find our own freedom. This is an opportunity to dig real deep, let go of things we no longer want to carry & to realise the karma of many lifetimes.
Do notmistake this moon for some kind of ‘magical cleanse’. As individuals, we need to actively examine our own behaviour & admit that change is the only path forward, because spirituality is a process that needs cooperation & participation in order for us to receive the benefits.
Aquarius energy is all about the bigger picture. We are all in this together. We cannot blame each other. We cannot only feel what we feel, because we feel everything; we feel everyone. This full moon lunar eclipse will be a turning point for humanity.
Here’s Killian painted as close and realistic as I can see in my head. I’ve been working on his story for a while now and I have to say, it’s progressing slowly but steadily but I’m getting there! I’m really proud of this one and I hope you all like it, too. ✨
Peter, v-logging with his phone camera: Hi I’m Spi- I mean, Peter Parker, and today we’re going to witness firsthand people’s reactions after they’re told they have big dick energy. Let’s go!
Peter: What’s up, Thor. Dude, I just wanted you to know that you radiate big dick energy today.
Thor: God of thunder in the streets, god of big dick in the sheets, I suppose.
Peter, checking to see if he’s still recording then proceeding to give a thumbs up: I stan so hard. Legends only.
Peter, bumping into Steve reading the paper: Cap! Ah, have a moment? Word on the street is that you have big dick energy. Thoughts?
Steve, choking on his coffee: I-I guess the serum did have… its effects…
Peter: Oh my god.
Peter, finding Bucky watering flowers: Hey, man. Love what you did with your hair today, may I enlighten you on the fact that you have, putting it modestly, very big dick energy?
Bucky, looking into the camera like he’s on the office: …Parker what the hell.
Peter, breaking into the sanctum: Wow doctor, looks like you got a super serious case of chronic big dick energy there.
Strange:Listen. There’s kinetic, potential, thermal, chemical, electrical, even the vague concept of dark energy. But there is no big dick or whatever you just—
Peter: You’re no fun.
Peter, after buying a plane ticket and flying to Wakanda unsupervised: As king and black panther, your highness, your reign is supreme and so is your big dick energy.
T’challa, amidst a breakdown: Noo!!! Stop!! You and Shuri, I am begging you, please, I have no idea what that means!!!!
Peter, approaching Tony relaxing on a lounge chair: Now for The Man. The one and only, genius billionaire playboy philanthropist. Mr. Stark, are you aware you have big dick energy?
Tony, lowering his shades: Kid, I invented big dick energy.
I took my meds too close to bedtime again and I need you all to know the dream I had last night involved Robin Williams becoming the new Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts. Not, a character portrayed by Robin Williams, just Robin Williams as himself running around Hogwarts doing wandless magic and being as loud and big as possible because and I quote before I forget:
“Listen, children, I’m not saying all this bad shit that is happening isn’t scary and you shouldn’t be concerned–because you should!–but I’m telling you this now for free. Life is a boggart, it’s the biggest boggart of them all. You never know what it’s going to look like one moment to the next. And sometimes you just gotta laugh. It’s okay to laugh. It’s part of the grieving process. You need to grieve before you can heal. But it’s okay to laugh while you’re doing it.”
I didn’t wake up right after that, some more stuff happened in a hazy sort of way as the dream began to dissolve into conciousness, but I remember him yelling Expecto Patronum as he punched a Death Eater in the face. Because sometimes, evidently, you have to make your own happy memories.
I think Robin Williams literally visited you in your sleep from the beyond in order to pass this message on to the world.
