Emotional Storms – Epic Pluto Return
Epic Pluto Return is a time of Death and Rebirth, the destruction before creation aspect of Plutonic influence. On Feb 22, 2022, the USA experienced its first ever Epic Pluto Return. That means the Dark Lord of Transformation, Pluto, sat in the same place in the sky as it did when the United States was “born,” July 4,1776.
In February, we were a nation still reeling in shock over the highly emotional and violent events of January 6! And not just Americans but the world felt it as two days later, February 24, 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. When a planet transits a sign, changes direction, or engages directly with a natal (birth) chart, intense energy activates and releases. Over an extended period of time there is a build up, a peak, and a de-escalation. But, in this case…

Gemini Weather – Venus Passion
Did you experience some Gemini Weather this past week?
WHAT IS GEMINI WEATHER?
The ever inquisitive Sign of the Twins oscillates between lightning illumination and the clouded darkness, so you may have experienced both!
For example, Outer You Sun danced nicely (trined) with Stern TaskMaster Saturn to give you an opportunity for productive focus. We tend to demonize retrogrades, but Saturn Retro can help us dial down to efficient clean up and well-sorted priorities.
But the Sun also challenged (squared) Addiction or Ascension Neptune, however, inserting illusions that may have derailed you. So, maybe those quicksilver thoughts degraded into anxiety or obsession.
Either way, get ready for some Venus Passion this weekend!

Shamanic Weather: We’ll be looking for our wisdom words as tension ramps up at the end of this week. Mercury stations (stops) to turn Direct in the wee hours of Friday, June 3.
BUT THAT’S GOOD, ISN’T IT?
Yes, and, it’s more complicated this time. Stern TaskMaster Saturn is in square (challenge) with Messenger Mercury. Wisdom words get lost between “I should have said” and “why did I say?” and all the messy feelings and misinterpretations that ensue.
And then on Saturday, June 4, Saturn turns retrograde.
I’M SO OVER RETROGRADES
Whenever a planet changes signs or directions the charge it holds amplifies. It’s “louder,” affecting us more overtly. Mercury in I’m Comfortable Right Here Taurus isn’t all that open to change, while Saturn in Open Your Mind Aquarius writes the “rules” for evolving. They are both fixed signs. Translate that to “stubborn.”

Welcome to the Mercury Retrograde Midpoint multidimensional energy-fest! You’ve been dragged through the emotional swamps and illusion purified as you passed through the Eclipse Transformation Tunnel. Now it’s time to reap some of the rewards of this transcendent time.
TRUST ME I’M FEELING IT.
The Outer You Sun balanced (trined) with Dark Lord of Transformation Pluto on Wednesday to give us some of the feel goods. Later in the day clarity and understanding about what’s going on for us individually deepened as Mercury got busy with (sextiled) Empowerment King Jupiter.

Shamanic Weather Mercury Retrograde Critical Clean-Up
The urge to purge peaks this week as we enter Mercury Retrograde in Just One More Question Gemini on Tuesday, May 10. And, you could be a bit confused about what exactly to release…
I’VE BEEN IN CRITICAL CLEAN-UP ALREADY
We’ve been letting go and reorganizing almost as a trauma response to the prevailing levels of insanity around us. We can’t control the latest brand of craziness breaking out world wide, but dammit that closet/garage/junk drawer is clean!
Now, as Messenger Mercury reverses (retrogrades) through his favorite sign, our minds light up at some critical clean-up point and get a little, um, stuck. We get to ruminate and investigate on that until all resolve dissolves around May 22-23, when Mercury retros back into Blissful Seas Pisces and kind of loses focus.
