It has been fascinating to study the deeper layers of astrology so far this year; the patterns forming and syncing with the energy of the transits as they cycle around the astro clock. The year of 2020 seems to be living up to the foretelling ancient prophecies of it being the year of great change ” a new earth” has been mystically etched into the ancient scribes. 2020 continues to be packed full of much change with ALL planets going retrograde (turning backwards, a time for tuning in, reevaluating, inner shifts) this is rare.

North Node in Gemini, South Node in Sagittarius – 2020 -2022

We are now entering into a cycle of Air energy where we can begin to release some of the heavy earth energy on our cosmic shoulders over the last few years. Kicking this off is the moons nodes shifting into Gemini and Sagittarius for the next 18 months where the collective focus will be on more “Gemini” topics such as learning, teaching, mind, research, information, science, communication, studying, media. It will be a welcome change to our life dynamics and with so many planets going retrograde there will be much inner work on offer, reviewing, reflection, creativity, rebirth of projects. You may find at times the feeling of pushing forward is met with resistance with things feeling a little more on the slower side, perhaps a few energy dips. I feel that’s not a bad thing though as we integrate all these changes on a personal level. It’s like 10 years worth of events being packed into 1 year, that’s a lot to process.

Pluto Retrograde – April 25th – October 4th

In other news the energies and intensity of Pluto are still in play and with Pluto now retrograde we are entering times where many revelations will continue to rise up for discussion, both on and off the political stage. No doubt a big focus on the “C” word where the many facets of this historical situation are still undisclosed but we will be more enlightened by the end of this year with all eyes on the US and China for that unraveling. Pluto energy is not light but can be hugely transformational and powerful during transits. As the US navigate their Pluto return over the next couple of years we will see much of their old systems and hierarchies “taking a different form” renewal and restructuring is the theme and that noise is already vibrating through the country.

In times of change, rebirth and overwhelm it is essential we look after our mind and wellness. Information will continue to be tossed all over the media portals (Gemini) trying to decipher what is true and what isn’t but we always have our own inner resources and discernment to guide us. Pluto will be bringing up some slush but this very dirt will be part of the greater change for humanity and the animals who live among us. The animals of our planet are speaking out and if we can each take some time to send healing for them in moments of peace or in meditations we can help to integrate a new world for our brethren friends who “feel” just the same as we do.

It is certainly a year to be remembered and to be continued as we travel further through the decade. Fundamentally we are already seeing many positives amongst the chaos which will have a huge impact on creating our “new earth” in years to come, gratitude will help us move forward in positive ways <3
