Uranus remains retrograde this whole month until January 2, 2018. Its shadow period will last until April 19, 2018. The degrees traveled this month (26º00’ to 25º01’ Aries) are represented in the Sabian symbols by the following images: “through imagination, a lost opportunity is regained” and “a man possesses more gifts than he can hold.” We are more beautiful than we realize, wiser than we know, and more powerful than we imagine. As we tap into the immensity of who we really are in the depths of our beings, more of the knowingness within our souls will emerge, allowing us greater freedom and individuality.

Neptune remains retrograde until November 22 when it turns direct. Its shadow period lasts until March 13, 2018. The degree traveled this month (11º36’ to 11º28’ Pisces) is represented in the Sabian symbols by “in the sanctuary of an occult brotherhood, newly initiated members are being examined and their characters tested.” Enlightenment does not come by accident. Trials and challenges bring lessons that lead to choices. And the choices we make reveal and determine who we really are. The highest road is usually not the easiest one, but it is the one that brings the greatest rewards.
