Unfortunately, there is a lot in life that you can’t control. However, you can better prepare for life’s trials through self-knowledge.
While select dates and times can be more favorable for new beginnings in the way that everyday things may go more smoothly, the truth is that auspicious astrological and numerological dates and times that override personal predestination are nonexistent.
The more important Mercury is in your natal comprehensive charts and the more important transiting Mercury retrogrades are to you, the higher the chance your perception is conspicuously distorted in regards to new acquaintances during this period.
Astrological and numerological indicators, including Mercury retrograde, don’t make things happen, or influence anything—they symbolize and represent.
Don’t worry too much about unexpected catastrophe during this closer-to-Earth-than-usual Full Moon on Saturday since you can’t do anything to stop it. Instead, go out for a night on the town and enjoy the beautiful Moon.
Unfortunately, modern astrology has moved too far away from authentic astrology: outlining personal predestination and character. Try as you might, you can’t cheat fate no matter how creative you get with interpretation, but you can make the most of it.
Astronomers and others calling for the “…zodiac signs to be overhauled because they are no longer accurate,” are invited to put aside the Sidereal zodiac (related to astrology) and consider the Tropical zodiac, like astrologers have done since Ptolemy in the 2nd century AD. In studying the merits of the Tropical zodiac, they will see that there is no need for an “overhaul” or a 13th sign, and that your Sun sign has not changed.
Eclipses and other minor universal factors also serve as reminders to look more closely at a particular area of a subject’s life through more complex charting methods.
Although eclipses are only minor astrological indicators compared to the collective bodies of universal, natal, and personal cyclical timing factors, recognizing the associated symbolic energy allows you to witness the cyclical nature of life, and even avoid more of life’s hassles.
Unfortunately, modern astrology’s bad habit of ascribing specific events and recommendations toward single universal indicators has proven time and again to be an erroneous, superfluous approach. There is no “this means that” in real astrology. Real astrology is pattern recognition, using 100s of factors.
