Uranus Retrograde (July 5), Solar Eclipse (July 11)



We are currently in between eclipses. The first, a lunar eclipse, occurred just a week and a half ago. The next, a solar eclipse, will occur in a little less than five days. Eclipses can be disruptive in general and will signify real change for folks who have a birthday on the 26th of June or 11th of July.

In terms of the general effect and how they add to the ongoing push-me-pull-you of the next and final Uranus/Saturn Opposition on the 26th of July - here are a few ideas:



  • The New Moon Solar eclipse is another reminder to touch into our family. Over the last few months, I've been picking up a lot of language focused on lineage. Are you in touch with your lineage? Are there themes that have been recurring in the last few months? Think back to your parents, grand parents, great-grand parents. Is there a thread that connects you that springs to mind?



  • The upcoming opposition between Uranus and Saturn asks us to be sure that the path we are treading is true for us. Are you feeling a change of heart/mind/soul calling? Are there wild hairs that are calling you to action? Are there changes you can make to address emerging thoughts?



  • Uranus' retrograde path suggests that it's a time to embrace the strange. It can be as gentle as watching a parrot slide down a pipe, or as personal as allowing yourself your true heart's desire, even if other's don't approve or get it. Now is the time to allow yourself some flexibility. See if you can explore oddness without judgement.



    Keep your eyes open, odd things are afoot. And relax. If you feel a fear change - make sure the change you embrace is in your own best interest.
