WE HAVE ANOTHER important week ahead of us — but with different themes than in recent weeks. Whereas before we were primarily working with the “shock and awe” effects of the Pluto-Uranus square, this week there is a softening and a shift in vibration.
Neptune is the main planetary influence this week. The ethereal planet is moving very slowly now, and will come to a standstill (from Earth’s perspective) on Friday. That day marks the beginning of Neptune’s retrograde (backward motion) phase, which lasts until November 13.
AS ANY PLANET slows momentum, its effects on our energy field is increased. This enhanced effect is especially strong a week or two on either side of the exact date of its station.
