11th September - 17th September 2023: Weekly Sidereal Astrology Forecast (Six Planets Rx)

We are currently living in a very unique time right now with a rare occurrence of six planets retrograde (Rx) at the same time (recently there were seven Rx but Venus is now direct in Cancer). All planets go Rx besides the Sun and Moon. A Rx planet is when the planet appears to be moving backwards from our perspective (it actually isn't, rather it is just the apparent perspective). In Astrological terms, retrograde planets turn the planet's inherent qualities inwards to be more internally felt and experienced.

So what is it like on a mass-scale when numerous planets are Rx at the same time? Intuitively I see this as a time in need of great caution and slower movement. For instance, with Mercury Rx you should be cautious with decision making, travel and signing contracts. Miscommunication and misunderstanding is common during this celestial event so be sure to triple check your writing or paperwork, confirm with others that you have understood them correctly and be extra cautious with information being shared via mainstream media which is more likely to be false information or misleading.

My advice to tread with caution during this time is inclusive of all six Rx planets though. This is because most typically abnormal occurrences at other times, would be normal during this time. Consider moving forward (direct) versus backwards. We walk forwards because it is more natural, more comfortable, we can see where we are going and we are confident when walking forwards. However, when asked to walk backwards, we often feel more uncomfortable doing this as we feel out of practice or this movement feels unusual and we can't see behind us so naturally we tend to walk backwards slower and more cautiously. This is likened to the planets above. With six aspects of ourselves in a slower, more cautious and uncomfortable/unfamiliar direction we are thus collectively experiencing these odd, somewhat uncomfortable and awkward energies.

A load of six Rx planets is like treading on egg shells. Think unplanned events or things not going to plan, unusual feelings and situations and a potential for chaos. Recently when seven planets were Rx this was an event that most likely hasn't occurred during anyone's lifetime who are alive today. There is an airiness of everything unusual, unexpected, uncomfortable, unstable and overall confusing. So I recommend to get grounded. You have an advantage in this realm by reading this right now. You now know that there is a collective instability. The Cabal know this also, and I wouldn't be surprised if they pull their next act while the collective are so preoccupied with trying to figure out what is going on with themselves and their life during this unusual time.

These Rx planets are creating a fog and confusion in our lives which is why we may be acting or feeling out of character during this transit. Another example: with Saturn Rx you may find yourself questioning or doubting what you know and if you don't maintain/rebuild the strong boundaries of Saturn direct, you may find yourself placing others as your authority, listening to their advice, opinions and knowledge above your own. This is the general instability we find with each planet that is Rx.

So, what can you do at this time to somewhat over-ride the retrogrades within the cosmos?

● Connect to nature to ground yourself. Now, for your energy's sake, you want to be outside in the sun, in fresh air, or swimming in natural bodies of water, or even simply walking on the earth barefoot. This will ground your energy, bringing it back to the present and allowing clarity within yourself.

● Read the details in contracts, descriptions, and everything that you come across. Don’t overlook any aspect of a document or contract. Make sure someone else gives it a gander so you don’t miss anything.

● Ensure your vehicle is in good condition with enough water, oil and petrol when travelling.

● Journal your thoughts and emotions to connect with yourself during this time. You want to keep yourself particularly strong and confident during this time. Journaling helps to bring you clarity as well as being a great tool for energetic release of frustrations and to help calm your innermost sentiments.

● Remember to be kind to yourself and others. Avoid the tendency to criticise or judge yourself and be gentle with how you treat yourself at this time. The most important relationship is the one you have with yourself.

Thank you for your ongoing support.
