Mercury stationed direct Tuesday EDT/UTC, ending an impressive and memorable run of inner planet retrogrades. Give your mind and body a chance to get accustomed to the new energy. The shift is palpable, though adapting does not necessarily happen overnight. If you experienced a blowout, meltdown or crisis of some kind the past 48 hours or so, let the energy dissipate. Notably these have not just been retrogrades — they have made some interesting and challenging aspect patterns, and the retrograde factor adds the element of repetition.
At the same time, we are in the final burn of the cardinal grand cross pattern, as the Sun swings into an opposition to Pluto (exact July 4), followed several days later by a square to Uranus, then the Capricorn Full Moon on the 12th and finally a square to Mars. The Capricorn Full Moon is a wild chart, with Mars in Libra making exact (one-degree) conjunctions to Ceres and Vesta, and an opposition to Eris. The lunar nodes are one degree away. Between the Full Moon and Mars aspecting three goddess-type planets and the lunar nodes, we will experience an honorary eclipse.
