We are in a holding pattern now, waiting for the call to move forward. Mars and Mercury are Retrograde: Mercury till May 22 and Mars till June 29.
As we just passed through a New Moon in Taurus while all this Retrograde business is going on, we need to be in “get moving” mode even if you do not know where to go.
So get things done around the house, get your finances in order, run errands, clean up the old both physically and mentally/emotionally.
Taurus is a grounded, practical sign; but it is also a sign that appreciates the body and Earth. It sees much of life through its senses, smelling and touching and tasting. It loves to enjoy its body through comfort also, so spas and hammocks work well for them.
Since it is “Taurus time” for all of us now, it is a good time for each of us to do what Taurus likes and needs to do.
Since we gotta wait before moving more fully into the new era of our lives, it is good now to keep busy; but it is even more important to do inner work.
It is time with Mercury and Mars retrograde, to feel your past, to do some healing, to release and let go what represents the old era of your life.
It will behoove you to do this inner work, as you do not need baggage from the past as you move into the new era of your life.
Of course one cannot totally remove what one has been traumatized or hurt by in one’s past; but now at the Retrogrades and while you are in transition between eras, the winds of the Universe are at your back for inner healing and release.
In the greater world things have also slowed down, with no big events to speak of.
Politically in the USA the movement for electing President is slowing down as it is more obvious who the candidates will be.
But we do not know for sure who will win or what the process to get there will be like.
Our movement forward is on hold now with conversation about who will support Trump, with questions about Clinton’s troubles with her emails, with unknowns about how Sanders and his values will fit into the democratic platform at the convention.
But much more important than the personalities is what each candidate represents for our world, what direction America is moving toward.
Who wins the Presidency will show us loud and clear who we are now and what we value.
And now during the Retrograde, without the distraction of important primaries anymore, we will be able to truly get to know who the candidates are and what they represent.
On the surface Trump is a wealthy brash celebrity. What else does he represent on a more substantial level?
Clinton is a woman and part of the Clinton political royalty, but what does she represent on a deeper more substantial level?
With Sanders it is more obvious what he represents on a substantial level. He has been loud and clear for many years.
So we are all processing the primary season we have just gone though- 17 republican candidates later- 3 Democratic candidates later.
We can sit back and wait for the party conventions, which occur in July- after Mars goes direct.
And for all of us July is the time of getting our life automobiles started up again for a drive into the new era of our lives.
This does not mean that personal and global events will stop until July. The personal events over the next couple months, while the retrogrades continue, will help us to further release old mental tapes, old traumas and hurts, old patterns of Self denial and co-dependency.
The events that happen over the next couple of months will also help us to see more clearly our new era of life, to help us to embrace or at least accept our new life energies.
Remember that most important is how we are shifting energetically, because our energetic shifting will determine what and who we will attact into our lives.
It is good time now to stay very present with our selves and our interactions with others. Watch and feel what is shifting inside. You are changing at a deep cellular level, changing to be aligned with the energies of the Age of Aquarius that we are on the cusp of.
Everything has been accelerated and intensified, so we can do the inner work necessary to change our vibrations and lives.
Transition between worlds is not easy, in fact it can be quite painful at times, especially so when faced with old traumas and wounds. But the new birth can feel so good, so inspiring and heartfelt.
In the global world transition during this current Retrograde period, look for signs and symbols to tell you where things are headed now.
Look closely at Syria and Iraq, North Korea, Israel and Palestine, China and Japan.
Look more closely at the economy and stock market for signs and symbols of change.
It is the military/economic complex that hold up our old world. There will be bigger and bigger cracks in its structure if we are to experience the kind of transformation necessary to bring the birth of the Age of Aquarius.
So even if some of the world events make you feel very insecure, remember that just like in your personal transformation, there is a need to face old energies and emotions, beliefs, and perceptions that need to be released.
The transitions can be painful and scary at times, but necessary in the process of positive Transformation into the Age of Aquarius.
Til next week,

While Mercury is retrograde, I am considering changing the webinar dates from beginning June 4 to beginning August 6- just considering. Many have shown interest in the webinar series.Please give me your feedback for dates. It is greatly needed. And for those of you who have given deposit already, your input is most important. Here is what the webinar will continue to be:
Transformational Astrology with Leo Knighton Tallarico webinar series will begin on Saturday June 4 at 1 PM EDT. At this point I am leaning toward Saturdays June 18 and June 25 at 1 PM to finish up the series. The second and third dates are not set in stone yet. Each class will last approximately 2 hours. Fee is $120 for the complete series. I will reserve two scholarships for those truly in need who have great interest.
We will be discussing the deep layers of consciousness needed during this important time in human evolution. The class will provide a wider perspective and deeper insight.
I will explain the significance of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto in the process of transformation. I will include Chiron into the mix also. I consider Uranus, Neptune and Pluto as ambassadors of the Age of Aquarius. They provide us with what we energetically need in order to transform our consciousness and lives aligned with the Age of Aquarius. As such we will explore a person’s natal aspects with those planets. We will also , its explore in depth the transits of these planets, as they signify times of intense transformation and change.
We will also look at the possibility of newly discovered planets in our solar system, including Nibiru and Dr. Sitchen’s ideas of what that planet signifies for the human family. This theory if true changes how we view our origins and our human condition.
We are at a very important phase in the transition between a Pisces and Aquarius Age. World changes through important world evetns will be discussed as well as a viewpoint of what and when we can expect of the Age of Aquarius.
We will also find the time to look at class members’ natal charts to see the natal dimensions of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto in personal lives. And we will look at transits and times of change in individual participant’s lives as seen by the transits of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
If interested please let me know through a reply to my email at soulus@aol.com. Fee is to be paid prior to the classes.
Audio recordings will be available for those who cannot make the live broadcast.
