Hello!

As Uranus turned and went direct yesterday, many of us noticed sleep issues. Some of us just couldn't get to sleep over these last 2 days or so, while some others simply could not stay awake, Uranus is the planet of invention and liberation. It's electric and community focused - and it was the last retrograder we had. As of today, all planets and asteroids are travelling direct - and they will stay that way until December 20th when Mars turn retrograde. That means that all systems are go until about the 18th. If you have important stuff that you'd like to work on before March, now is the time to start them. Starting a project on the right day can make all the difference. Retrograde energy like review and going back to finish stuff up but it hates the beginning part. No problem - make the beginning part now (a phone call, a payment, a plan) and then you will have much less trouble returning to that project during the retrograde and will make the best use of that time.

I also want to talk about how we might feel with Mars retrograde - that is to say, that Mars energy for creating and moving will be directed inward. This internalized kinetic energy might have us feeling low, with little desire to do anything. It might also have us very sensitive to other people's energy - we might feel it ourselves more strongly. Many psychic healers have Mars retrograde in their birth chart - we may all feel a bit more psychic for the next 3 months.

Of course, shortly after Mars turn retrograde, communication focused Mercury will do the same on the 26th, beginning another period of introspection and scheduling issues. Mercury goes retrograde so often to help us digest what we've learned in the last 3 months, so don't be surprised if your conversations sound a little familiar. I will also urge you and yours to be particularly careful driving during this holiday season - and let me also say that getting your Christmas shopping done early (before the 18th if possible) will help very much.

Take care friends! I hope your Thanksgiving was great. Talk to you next week - xoxo!
