Celestial Parade of Omens

Overview
The Moon transits the retrograde planets in Pisces and Aries, the ingress to Aries early on Wednesday (US time zones).  Mercury in Virgo makes opposition aspects to the retrograde planets in Pisces this week as the Sun in Virgo makes trine aspect to Uranus retro in Taurus and to Pluto retro at 29 deg Capricorn  for a grand- trine in earth signs.  This follows the grand-trine in air signs over the past weekend and the Full Moon eclipse (a Super Moon with a partial lunar eclipse). If thought energy was put to good use then, we can now make actual  resourceful change. Hopefully we are slowly digging out of the stagnant energy that has led to wars and human rights abuse. Mars in Cancer and an opposition aspect to Ceres in Capricorn coincides with a large number of prisoners exchanged, notably between Ukraine and Russia.

Looking ahead
