Capricorn Moon and Saturn Retrograde

The Moon is in the final degrees of Capricorn this morning and will go into Aquarius this evening.  Yesterday may have felt a little bit more industrious with the theme to “take care of business”; however those aims may have also felt thwarted.  Saturn recently moved into “retrograde”.  Saturn builds and works to become the wise Sage, the keeper of the doctrine, the order among the chaos, the steadfast and loyal finisher of the great race.  Saturn holds the record of what has occurred and is occurring, hence the name “Lord of Karma”.   As this signature of nobility moves into a reverse orbital flow from Earth, we may have a chance to review our truths.  What has concretized as beliefs we hold dear, and where may we have moved beyond questioning their validity?  Are we “walking our talk”, or just taking our lips for a walk down self-righteous lane?  We are being asked to solidify what we do believe in and to be accountable.   The challenge is to slow down during retrograde and really contemplate what we have learned so far and choose to catalyze that which has truly been “hashed out” not just a flash in the pan.   As Venus is near the Moon’s South Node, we may be experiencing some memories of relationships gone by and may feel compassion towards those connections.   In a broad sense, it is a time to release and let go of any relationship or material baggage that we are carrying around.  If we feel anxiety or stress at this time, moving and burning off some of the fiery impetus should calm the mind to be able to weed through the chatter for what really matters.  When the Moon enters Aquarius tonight, we may feel some mental clarity and detachment allowing for a fresh perspective.
