​I

! continue to feel relaxed under the grand trine in water signs. This has been the easiest week I've lived in at least two years!  My personal feelings do not discount what other people are going through though.

Many of my clients over the last week have been upset or under pressure. Regardless of what you're experiencing, the grand trine is breaking up. I'd like to look ahead.

I noticed the 2018 summer retrogrades back in 2016.  Setting new and full moons aside, this is the next thing to come to understand and hopefully embrace.  It's just so much easier to align with nature, and I'll give you an example...

Experienced gardeners wait to put their plants out until it's virtually certain there will not be a freeze. People like me, always in a hurry and willing to take a risk, put their plants out weeks ahead of time and then live in hope. It doesn't really help a tomato plant to start out fighting for its life. But Aries always wants to be first.

If you're like me and naturally hopped up, you may not like these lazy days of summer.  That doesn't matter.  You're headed into a backwards wave anyway.

Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto are already retrograde. You'll probably begin to really feel this when Mars turns retrograde on June 26th.  You'll want to note the house in your chart where Mars will be stalled. I wrote a separate post on this: Effects Of Mars Retrograde - 2018.

We'll be dealing with this all the way into August. At the peak of it, we'll have six planets (and Chiron) retrograde at one time.

I don't think this bodes well for the summer launch of anything. I'm sorry to say that, but come on!  This anomaly should not be ignored, even by stubborn people like me.
