Saturday: Third Quarter Moon Phase - Moon in Gemini
Sunday: Balsamic Moon Phase - Moon in Gemini
Uranus and Mercury Station Direct
As a sent out on Twitter late last night, the effects of the x-flare are in effect and are amplifying not only the building energy toward Tuesday through Thursday, but on Saturday in particular, Uranus stationing retrograde. Uranus rules electricity and combined withe the solar flare, it is felt like lightning in the body. It definitely amps up the electromagnetic fields of our bodies. Telltale signs are feelings of anxiety, restlessness, and sleeplessness. You will notice the increase in car accidents and accidents in general under these influences.
Take special care when you are driving. Electronics and communications tend to go haywire with either of these retrogrades, but with both, they are sure to give us trouble (and the solar flare is affecting satellites even though this is not being reported). The Sun makes an exact square to Eris Saturday, which is quite fitting for Bastille Day for French readers. Eris rules freedom and she rails against any type of oppression or restriction. In kind, we won't want to be restricted in any way. As we approach the turning point on Tuesday (which is more accurately labeled the "turning time" because it will take place over three days - Tuesday will have the most impact) we will feel the shift or the turn in energy toward a new direction. Remember this is "cardinal" astrological energy - it turns things like a hinge. Picture the hinge on a door: if the hinge is firmly bolted down, the hinge works properly and flexibly. We have the ability to go in and out and back and forth. But if the hinge is not securely attached, it falls off. In our terms, if we are firmly grounded to the Earth (Sophia) we will fludily experience the benefits of turning. To do this, we need to spend time outdoors with our feet on the ground and visualizing space inside ourselves for the energy to ground (grounding the electrical current as it were). Connect with the planet by consciously engaging in bolting yourself down. This will stabilize the effects that are in progress. It is good to know what is happening, isn't it?
