A PAUSE IN THE ACTION

The good thing about Pluto turning retrograde on May 4th is that whatever crisis you’ve been struggling with these past six months will retreat back to the dark corner from whence it came. Retrogrades mark a change in planetary disposition; a time when what was on is called off. We often think of retrogrades as upsets in our routine because things don’t go according to plan (like with a Mercury retrograde for instance), however retrogrades can also signal a time of reprieve – like when Pluto, the planet of ordeals, reverses direction. But just because something’s gone dormant doesn’t mean that it’s been taken care of. It will be back – which means that you have five months to make the switch from being reactive to proactive. Make the necessary adjustments, the bold moves, and decisive choices you need to make to ensure that you are leading with your best foot forward rather than being buffeted about by circumstances. To be well-prepared is to be well-armed. Pluto comes out of retrograde on October 13th.
