Saturn's journey through Pisces is straightforward. Once ensconsed in the Universal Spiritual ocean of Pisces (March 7, 2023), he'll retrograde in the sign on June 27 then return to direct motion in Pisces on February 7, 2024. Pluto's journey is (not surprisingly!) more complicated. The underworld guy enters Aquarius on March 23, turns retrograde on May 1, dips back into Capricorn where he'll turn direct, and not re-enter Aquarius until February 1, 2024. He will revisit by degrees his final conjunction to the USA's natal Pluto thus finishing up old business in the sign of authority and karma, then return to 0 Aquarius on March 25, 2024 where he'll stay for 20 years. Check Starcats' Planet Motions & (marquee scroll above) for all planetary retrogrades.

"Let go of what has passed.
Let go of what may come.
Let go of what is happening now.
Don't try to figure anything out.
Don't try to make anything happen.
Relax, right now, and rest."
---Tilopa


TIMING is everything.
All things change. Change is our only constant.

"I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather....In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person is humanized or is dehumanized." -- Goethe



The way ahead is lit by our trust in inner visions.

"How can I be substantial if I fail to cast a Shadow? One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. C.G. Jung

Mercury was the only entity allowed access to both Mt. Olympus and hell by the Gods. Mercury is the guide between the conscious and unconscious. He's the Psychopomp and Loki the trickster from Norse mythology. He is quicksilver and also the healer, Hermes. Mercury is my chart ruler!

In memoriam, my dad, Knute F. Dobkins, December 13, 1921 -- January 21, 2012, for my brother Knute F. Dobkins, Jr., October 17, 1955 -- September 20, 2015, my mother, Bettye Jean Dobkins, August 5, 1927 -- May 23, 2018, and youngest brother J.E. Mack, February 18, 1962 -- September 3, 2021.



Be prepared. That's what the truth and astrology do for us. We gain the edge by seeing things exactly as they are. Not by how we wish they would be. -- Starcats

The best investment you can make right now is the one you make in YOU. All change happens on the inside first as an intention, then as a purging of old, useless and outdated parts of self that leads us to a realignment with our Authentic Self. At that stage, we are then ready to SPEAK OUR WORD and let loose the energy that will manifest our future goals and dreams. Let astrology help!
