Jupiter Retrogrades in Pisces
Today, June 20th, we have Jupiter going retrograde in Pisces. He's only been there for a quick minute. He's only two degrees in Pisces and now he's going to pause and retrace his steps. Jupiter is about growth, he's about expansion - especially where our beliefs and our spiritual practice is concerned. He wants us to step outside of our comfort zones and push the boundaries of our knowledge, of our capabilities, of the opportunities that await us.
The life lessons that were actually working through while being in Pisces is a huge indicator as to what 2022 is going to be about. A lot of this is about disconnecting from our external realms and moving inward, reconnecting with our spiritual practice, and really fine tuning and strengthening our intuition and our connection to the Divine.
Why?
Because the knowledge that we seek is within us. It is not outside of us. The validation that so many of us look outside of ourselves for, is within. The only validation that you need in life is whether or not you resonate with the gut feeling, with your intuition, with your higher truth.
Jupiter retrograding is joining the other major heavy-hitting planets Saturn, Mercury, and Pluto. This is going to be a huge internal revelation, renovation, recalibration, and rejuvenation. Pluto is picking apart and highlighting for you, your fears and insecurities and where it is that you've given your power away and where it is you need to take it back. Where it is it you need to put a death to certain parts of yourself blocking you from truly aligning with your Soul's purpose. Saturn’s retrograde is doing the inner work needed in order to make peace with the karmic life lessons and cycles that you've already been taught to see whether or not you're going to incorporate them in your 3D reality in order to ascend and evolve to the 5D reality in New Earth that awaits us.
Jupiter going retrograde in Pisces is only going to add to the fact that the answers that we’re seeking, the truth and the knowledge that were after, we have inside of us! We have to grow and expand our spiritual connection to ourself first and foremost; and to the Divine second, because it's all the same. We are the power of the universe! The Universe - yes, outside of us holds some power and holds some knowledge. But, we ARE the Universe! The Universe is within us!
So this is going to be a huge wake up and shake up for those of you that are still looking outside of yourself in your external realm for truth, for knowledge, and for validation; because everything that you need is within you!

Mars Retrogrades in Aries
Today, Mars - the God of war - goes retrograde in his place of power. Mars rules over our physical drive, our energy, determination, passion, desires, and even our anger. Mars is a force to be reckoned with, as he will stop at nothing to get what he wants. There can be many causalities as he blazes a path forward not really concerned with the repercussions of his actions as long as he gets what he has his eye on.
Mars rules over both Aries (as a primary ruler) & Scorpio (as a co-ruler with Pluto). He moved into his place of power in Aries on June 27th, and will spend an abnormal amount of time in Aries until January of 2021. This 6 month stay will have dramatic effects on the world both globally, and individually. It’s no surprise that the wars in the streets hit a tipping point once Mars was in his place of power, and now that Mars will be going retrograde, we will see a different side of our own inner warrior.
Mars was aligned with the major heavy hitting planets responsible for the chaos that has been 2020, back in January. This time around though, he is squaring these planets in the sky. To simplify, Mars was once part of the problem, and now he’s looking to fix it. Even with Mars’ great strength and warrior spirit, the heavy hitting planets are no easy feat. Saturn, Jupiter, and Pluto have a job to do (to awaken the masses, destroy the old paradigm, and create a new world out of the good parts that can withhold the storm).
Normally, a retrograde means that the energy that is supposed to be exerted out in the world gets internalized. Mars’ retrograde is a bit different in the fact that it’s a personal planet that only goes retrograde every 2 years.
From now, until November 13th, we will struggle with a few elements as Mars goes through it’s retrograde process. First, we will see how our inner warrior wants to play out the last part of 2020. We have the potential to be a noble warrior, protecting and fighting for what we believing in, exerting our strength from a place of love and moving forward with positivity and optimism. Or, we could be a warrior of destruction.; allowing our passion and anger to take over and force us to be aggressive moving forward lashing out in any way possible to those who oppose our direction or ideals.
The most frustrating part of Mars’ retrograde is that we are still damn well and determined to move forward even if we meet resistance. We can feel our physical energy levels decline and we may lose the fierceness we need to blaze a new path forward. We can wrestle internally with what we truly want and desire. We may feel conflicted with every decision we thought we had already made. This kind of internalize energy can lead to anger, frustration, and self sabotage.
You can get a better idea on what areas of your life will be most effected by this transit by seeing where Mars is currently moving through your chart, and in what house Aries rules for you. There is a lot of energy built up in the Aries sector of the cosmos, as Mars, Chiron, Black Moon Lilith & Mars’ sister Eris are currently positioned. To simplify, there is a huge transformation of energy being concentrated on destroying the old, and transforming into the new. There are huge amounts of energy asking you to heal parts of your identity that no longer align with who you are and who you’re trying to become.
It’s important that you listen to your body and give it the love, attention, and nurturing it needs. Fighting wars - whether they be inside you or in your external reality - takes a toll on one’s health. The urge to push forward bypassing the messages from what your physical body needs will end up in a situation where you may not be physically or emotionally strong enough to embrace the changes you are being faced with.
Mars going retrograde is also taking place on the day the 9/9 portal opens up. I will go into a bit more detail about this event in another post, but, knowing that the 9/9 portal is about our own personal healing as we close and end the last 2 year chapter of struggles and battles should give you a lot of hope for the new timelines we are anchoring in and the new chapters we are initiating.
Please be very cautiously aware of your own personal energy as Mars retrogrades. Be mindful of the anger or frustration that arises within you and use those emotions to guide you to what needs to be healed. Pay attention to your body and give it the rest it deserves, and be patient as you review your inner most desires and what you’re actually passionate about.

Saturn Retrograde Re-enters Capricorn
When the major heavy hitting planets are on the move, we know we are facing a major shift. Saturn - ruling over our karma, life lessons, systems and structures like the government, banking, healthcare, etc. - has been retrograde since May 11th, when it decided it needed to go back, retrace it’s steps and make sure we tied up the lose ends for good.
Saturn was in Aquarius when it went retrograde. Since March 21st, Saturn was showing us what kind of life we were moving into when it entered the collective consciousness and greater humanity sign of Aquarius. For many of us, that’s when the lockdowns started. That’s when social distancing started, and that when we seen a huge shift of rebellion take over. Aquarian energy is very rebellious towards the systems and structures that hold us back, that don’t support the health and wellbeing of the grander collective. And we seen first hand what rebellion against the greater governments look like for the last couple of months.
But then Saturn, very early on in Aquarius, said “Hold on here, this is nuts! We have to take a step back and fix this!” So retrograde it went, backtracking itself through the early degrees of Aquarius.
Now, Saturn has entered back into its place of power in Capricorn where systems and order are King. It sits at a critical 29th degree in Capricorn which is a pressured point of change. We have been seeing how the global governments have been responding to the protests (both peaceful and destructive) and Saturn in Capricorn is going to lay the smack down in order to get things back into order.
Saturn in Capricorn needs safety and stability. It will ask us to grow up and shake our heads. It will ask us “So did you like what you saw while in Aquarius? Because if we don’t grow up and see where the changes in our systems and structures need to take place to help us evolve into new earth, than we are in for a few years of absolute chaos.”
Listen to July’s Forecast by clicking here.
As the collective moves into the age of Aquarius, we are working towards taking care of humanity. Everyone. Period. There should be no division among us here on this earth plane. We should be protecting the innocence of our children and supporting the needs of of our elders and everyone in between. But our world currently doesn’t support that shift.
Saturn in Capricorn is very linked to financial success and security. Saturn in Capricorn has shown us where these big corporations and systems have been corrupted, and as such, not helping but harming humanity.
With Saturn re-entering into Capricorn, we will have a chance to reflect on all that has happened, revisit some of the issues effecting humanity, revise some of our plans moving forward, and restructure the foundations and systems we need to move in our favour.
Saturn will retrograde back to the 25th degree of Capricorn before going direct again. We will get to move forward with the conscious awareness of our actions as we prepare to move into the age of Aquarius for good! These life lessons of maturity, growing up, taking responsibility, and implementing the changes we need in our systems and foundations will need us to be more concerned with humanity instead of just caring about ourselves. We essentially have to go back, before we can begin to move forward.
The major heavy hitting planets are retrograde at this time in our evolution, to make sure we look back into history to see how we got to this point. It’s not about erasing our failures, it’s about recognizing where we need to make sure we don’t make the same mistakes again. We are at a vital point in humanity (2020 is called the great awakening for a reason), and it is up to us to do what we can within our own selves and in our own lives to make sure we are making decisions and taking actions to support the evolution of our souls. When we each take responsibility for ourselves, we can align with a greater community. That collective consciousness will reverberate throughout the cosmos aligning each of our souls together and pushing us as a group into the age of Aquarius where we can take care of one another and minimize the divide between us that was created by man made inequality.
On an individual level, where you find Saturn transiting in your chart will reveal where you are experiencing the damage and destruction in your life in order to create new, more supportive foundations , strong enough to encourage you to fully become the greatest expression of your soul. That, is in fact what life is all about; figuring out how we can embody our soul’s fullest potential.

Venus Goes Direct In Gemini
Venus - the Goddess of love, money, and pleasure - first moved into Gemini back on April 3rd. Venus moving into the sign of the twins made us really stop and think about the way we communicate within our relationships, and explore the divide we felt between our hearts & heads.
Venus then went retrograde in Gemini on May 13th, making us reflect on the past to sort out our feelings on how we are going to move ahead in the future. We have had a lot of information thrown at us which challenged our old beliefs. We’ve had to reconsider who in our lives are people of value, and who no longer feels in alignment with who we are and what we want. We have had to re-examine our finances and really contemplate whether or not we’ve been using our skills and talents to the best of our abilities to make the kind of money we deserve and is needed for our financial security. We had some time to rethink what we want our future to look like and who we want to see in it.
As Venus retraced her steps and reflected on these topics, she also was going through her own rebirthing process as she transformed from the brightest star in the night sky to our morning star. This transformation impacts us here on earth because we are entering into a new chapter filled with hope and light. We reached our darkest depths of the shadows we hold deep inside and now we’ve been working to bridge the gap between what are head thinks and what our heart wants.
Now that Venus is going direct, we will gain a lot more clarity around the topics of love and money. We will suddenly see where relationships need to be strengthened, where some relationships need to be released. We will be encouraged to create new ways of income, while we re-arrange our finances and future goals.
Above all, we will now be able to communicate our thoughts and feelings with confidence and with clarity. We have a lot of new ideas and we’ve discovered what it is we actually value. Now is the time where the Gemini energy will work its magic and give us the opportunity to speak our truth, say our peace, and move forward with those we’ve decided are worthy of being a part of our future.
Venus in Gemini supports social interactions and light and fluffy flirting. It was never really recommended to enter into a new relationship during this transit especially while Venus was retrograde. If you did happen to make that kind of commitment, you may find yourself rethinking those arrangements now that Venus is direct and anxious to move forward into the future.
If nothing else, it’s a great time to communicate on deeper levels with your partner, or clearly define within yourself what it is you need to see in an individual to make you interested in committing to a relationship once again.
