The planets are picking up the threads of a conversation that began two weeks ago with the Sun’s entry in Sagittarius, and an eclipse a week later. Communicative Mercury and loving Venus weave another chapter of your story into a New Moon in Sagittarius on Thursday—fresh on the heels of the Great Awakener, Uranus, ending its five-month retrograde phase.
Understanding your story or having faith in its merit may be your challenge now. Relationship patterns, thought patterns, behavioral patterns: some served you well and some were necessary to shed. As you release much of what has prevented you from committing fully to living your own life, it’s now easier to observe the coping mechanisms or patterns you once established.
Neptune looms large, making its third square within a six-week span to messenger Mercury. Something that’s been developing since the end of October is just about hatched—and it may not be quite what you were expecting. Venus squares Neptune as well. Distortions are commonplace, and so is the desire to pass the buck, plead innocence, or feel victimized. Listen with your heart if you need to get to the truth; stay there if you need to get back to ‘you.’ Neptune can bring us into peaceful union with ourselves, or into illusory states of martyrdom. You have a choice to either own your stuff or to blame it on someone else.
In true Sagittarius form, sharing your experiences—however personal some may be—is one way to see your unique story within a broader framework that reveals how universal most of our stories are. In other words: you are not alone. But you’re never going to know for sure unless you dare to share.
