A chance to regain clarity, resolve

Every warrior, no matter how passionate, how furious or how righteous, grows weary eventually. This isn’t to say that being weary is a signal to quit. Quite the contrary. Sometimes you just need a little resolve. To lay down your sword a while and rest.

While the battle will rage on a while yet, a break from the weight of it all can help you breathe again and regain a renewed focus. What felt heavy and relentless now feels a little lighter, though you know its far from over. Sometimes, all it takes is a reprieve in order to sharpen your sword, return to the battle and eventually be victorious.

So while you may be hearing about Saturn and Neptune retrograde and shift into unnecessary astrological anxiety, you might be pleasantly surprised by the chance to regain clarity and eliminate confusion, at least for a while.

The over arching theme of this week’s retrogrades is the opportunity to go back to the blueprint in a particular area of your life. Are things structurally sound? Have you been showing empathy and compassion in the right places? If not, make some corrections and tighten the ship before the real battles begin next year.

October is the month where cozy sweaters become a fashion statement and leggings become an  essential food group.
