Retrograde Reflections
Mercury Rx in Leo asks...
What lights me up?
What is a passion of mine I've cast aside & why? Is it still relevant?
What do I want to create?
What should I express in a bold, creative way?
What do I want to be known for?
Saturn/Neptune/Chiron Rx in Aries asks...
What are my deepest wounds surrounding my view of self?
What does responsible autonomy look like? What do I need to do to lead the way?
Where in my life does impulsivity/or a lack of structure create challenges?
What is my relationship with my intuition & gut? My dreams & desires?
Am I too stuck in tradition to chase after a fantasy, or am I too lost in the fantasy to ground it into reality?
What beliefs are self-limiting?
What structures need to be in place in order for me to follow through on my dreams?
Where in my life do I feel the most distortion between my view vs. the view of others?
Pluto Rx in Aquarius asks...
What is the state of my connection to the collective?
What social causes resonate deep within me & desire public expression even if it costs me ostracization?
How does my activity within social groups & networks (including the internet) affect the transformation I seek for myself & the world?
What has expired in my life & desires a rebirth that is attuned with my highest self & soul-aligned mission?
