This month’s New Moon is also a Solar Eclipse. Even if we can’t see an Eclipse in the sky where we live, these celestial events are renowned for being very powerful in the way in which they can impact our lives. Oftentimes, life-changing events or reflections occur around the time of an Eclipse. Yet, remember that reflective of the word itself, things are often ‘eclipsed’ around the time of Eclipses.

Retrograde periods are times for reflection and heightened inner awareness. Since Mercury symbolizes communication, the way we learn, transport, our siblings, and our neighborhood, this period can yield great insights in these related areas of our life.

And with that, it feels like a pivotal time when we may be taking action related to the visions we've been working on, the things that we've found to be so important to us that we've dedicated much of our attention to them over the last several months.
Read MoreFor some, the Mars/Saturn conjunction--with both squaring Neptune--is reflecting a time when they are finding their focus to be centered upon having to take responsibility for an action taken in the past.

There could be a heightened sense of tension as an organization or community strives to accommodate the needs of its members along with its own overarching identity and goals; there may also be breakdowns and breakthroughs in the arena of group dynamics and team building.

That's a word I've heard a lot recently when asking clients, friends, and family how they are doing.

I love that axiom and feel like I have even more appreciation for it this week owing to the Saturn station on Saturday.
