Eclipses happen every 6 months and come in either sets of 2 or 3; whereby at a minimum we have one Solar Eclipse (coinciding with a New Moon) and one Lunar Eclipse (coinciding with a Full Moon) and not necessarily in this order (yet always with 2 weeks in between them).

As eclipse seasons occur every 6 months, so there are 6 Moon cycles (each a month long) within an Eclipse Cycle.  Just as a moon cycle, breakthroughs of what was seeded at the eclipses, begin to realize around the time of the halfway mark, or midpoint (3 months in).

When it comes to Astrology, eclipses are a big deal.  Not only do they bring in powerful shifts into our lives (sometimes rather dramatic ones if we need a proverbial kick in the you know what), but so too do their energies affect us over the course of the 6 months after they occur.    Eclipses occur every six months, typically coming in...

Paying closer attention to the moon cycle, we can start to see the 'simulation' behind our reality, whereby at the New Moon new situations seed, the First Quarter Moon has us face challenges, the Full Moon brings breakthroughs, and the Last Quarter Moon has us making final releases to harvest in new versions of ourselves as well as external...

Short and sweet, a retrograde planet is an astronomical phenomenon whereby it 'appears' to be moving backwards in the sky (from Earth's perspective), although it really is not. Going a bit deeper into the understanding of these occurrences, it is important to give a little bit of background and foundation.  First and foremost, it is necessary to...

So, first things first, if you are not yet fully sure what 'retrograde planet' refers to, I recommend first reading my blogpost titled 'What it means for a Planet to be 'Retrograde'. With a basic understanding of what a 'retrograde planet' is, we can then delve in a little deeper and get into the 3 Phases of a Retrograde.  And as you know I like...

Now, I do imagine that I will eventually get around to doing special posts for the other planets and their retrogrades (beyond the 3 Phases of a Retrograde that I have already written about) - of course, as insights come up; however for now, given that Mercury Retrogrades happen more often and I have been able to track its affect on my own...
