You’re preparing for a gear shift, prior to making some substantive changes. This process could be triggered by certain external events, though at root this has to do with you wanting to leave some aspect of former times behind you. If you’re unsure how to begin, consider where the past may be leaking into your current life. Do you consciously think or say one thing, and then end up doing something different under pressure? That could be a sign of an underlying idea you may need to let go.

Written in the Planets
The centaur planet Pholus has been hanging on out on the Aries Point, via the first degree of Capricorn, for more than a month now. That’s one facet of the astrology that describes the dual sense of a chain reaction (or the genie let out of the bottle) and ‘didn’t we already deal with this ages ago?’ that marks so much of what’s in the news currently. If what’s been happening politically or culturally has felt especially personal recently — in a way that seems to have a life of its own — Pholus offers a clue to that.
Later today, Pholus retrogrades back into late Sagittarius. You might take this as a signal to revisit certain goals or broad visions you had earlier this year. Notice the steps you’ve taken toward them, and what those steps have led to. Do you still feel like you’re on track in moving toward your ideals? Did those ideals, or your sense of possibility regarding them, shift or get blocked or become more solidified? What have you been learning about how to structure them, or about what limits them, or about the initiative it requires to pursue them?
As you track the answers to these questions and begin plotting your next steps, bear in mind that small adjustments and actions could count for more than you’d expect. This goes doubly this week, with Jupiter slow and about to station direct in mid Sagittarius. The Moon moving into Scorpio for the later part of the day could intensify your feelings about all of this, or lend some sharpness to your reactions. This could be useful for getting to the feelings beneath the surface.
