In the first sign of fiery Aries, the Ram, the Warrior, themes of fear, courage, passion and action are present. Mars is the ruler of Aries and adding extra energy and potential challenges to this retrograde period.

The first day of the Sun entering Virgo, we are deep into retrograde season. Yes it’s time for another go around with Mercury! Increasing the mental focus of this phase of retracing and reflecting on where we’ve been is due to Mercury being in Virgo, one of the two signs Mercury rules (Gemini is the other). In the down to earth sign of Virgo extra emphasis is focused on overall improvement, of self and circumstances.
