Monday, AUGUST 3

Today, Chiron begins its retrograde cycle, which will last until January 6th. This period is a potent time for introspection and evaluating our mental and physical health programs.

While the initial station today can be disorienting and lead to indecision as we adapt to the shift, with patience and understanding, this Chiron retrograde period in Taurus and later in Aries is one of beneficial reassessment.

Note that this year, Chiron begins its retrograde early in the sign of Taurus, and later retreats into Aries for a final dip (Chiron will re-enter Taurus next April).

Today’s Aries Moon is busy, aligning with Neptune and later Saturn, and harmonizing with Pluto, Uranus, Jupiter, and the Sun. It’s a time of buckling down, but also of increasing opportunities. We want to start fresh, and we’re less interested in the past than in what will work for us today and going forward.

While we want to be the first to discover new things, we can benefit from sharing some time — and ideas — with others.
