Today we have some notable retrogrades occurring in our skies. Just as Mercury starts its retrograde, we have Mars making a conjunction. This is happening in the sign of Sagittarius, whose ruling planet is Jupiter. Jupiter is also going retrograde. So, what insights can we take from this?

First, let’s allow for some new perspective around the meaning of Mercury Retrograde, and retrogrades in general. Let’s see the shift in a planet’s direction - known as a retrograde - as representing a shift in perspective. Perhaps highlighting a shift in circumstances, or a shift in one’s approach. Maybe even a shift in awareness and consciousness. Opportunities to reflect and integrate. To allow the processing of experiential feedback.

Adding Jupiter’s retrograde to mix, we can add the emphasis of mastery. The mastery of communication. How can you build your capacity? How can you contain the energy, before moving into action? There’s so much that goes into mastering communication. It won’t happen overnight, but you can make continued, gradual improvements. Now is the time check-in. Do the internal work that allows you to be the best communicator you can be at the present moment. Mastering your own thoughts and words, along with the delivery systems you use to make your connections.
