I am certain all of you can feel and see the difference in our Sun as it approaches Solar Maximum both in brightness and intensity of heat. 

As the light pours in, our bodies struggle to adjust to the release of old paradigm feelings, actions, and ways of being, while our minds and emotions move towards more enlightened perspectives. This is especially true in the 13-day period of Enlightening Energy that began on September 29 and continues to October 11, including a Solar Eclipse on October 2.  

Enlightening Energy, supports our ability to make choices from an enlightened perspective, with our hearts leading our minds. On October 9 Jupiter joins the already retrograde planets Saturn, Neptune, Chiron, Uranus, and Pluto, bringing the strong influence of six planets telling us to go inward and reflect on our lives!

Pluto's retrograde calls for absolute and complete transformation of whatever does  not work in our lives, and this already present influence lasts until October 12. If we find ourselves overwhelmed during the 13-days of Enlightening Energy, we may catch ourselves disappearing into idyllic daydreams rather than taking positive actions in our lives. If we utilize Enlightening Energy's gifts, we can find opportunities for evolutionary progress. Remember to rely upon the heart rather than the mind during this very intense time.

October 12 – 24 is the 13-day period of Exploring Energy. Pluto goes direct on the first day of this period; however, retrograde planets Saturn, Neptune, Chiron, Uranus, and Jupiter continue to insist that we reflect on various aspects of our lives. Exploring Energy supports that reflection and encourages us to harmonize opposite points of view, which can cause a movement towards Unity rather than the separation we usually experience in duality. We can implement new guidelines for living together collectively in a more conscious way if we take advantage of this energy to explore alternate possibilities.

We close out October in the wonderful energy of Transcending, which begins on beginning on October 25 and continues until November 6. While the same five planets are still retrograde, Transcending Energy supports our rising above challenging circumstances through discarding all hesitation and taking steps to transcend all limited ideas and paradigms, as well as our individual differences. Transcending Energy encourages us to step away from limiting circumstances by changing our beliefs and our perspectives. We are invited to transcend our differences, open our hearts, and move towards Unity. 

As the journey through planetary retrogrades continues in November and December, it feels appropriate to provide a few helpful hints Pleiadian-Earth Energy gives for dealing with the remaining collection of retrogrades in November and December. As you have already seen, retrogrades are not to be dreaded, but are chances to review our lives and change what does not work. They provide the perfect opportunity to re-evaluate everything in our lives, changing and rebalancing what no longer works. November begins with five planets retrograde, then six planets are retrograde in early December, but by the end of December the retrogrades taper off to four at a time and then three at a time.

Here is a brief summary of some of what each planet is calling us to examine:

• Saturn- our structures and foundations
• Neptune- our spiritual ideals and our addictions
• Chiron- what needs to be healed
• Uranus- innovation; how we deal with unexpected, sudden change
• upiter- how we define abundance
• Mercury- how we communicate
• Mars- claiming our energy to clear obstacles

Pleiadian-Earth Energy Astrology offers guidelines for dealing with challenges that arise during all of these retrogrades by paying attention to the other energies that are present, guiding and supporting us. Listed below are the 13-day periods of energy in November and December, including the influence of retrograde planets. These two months will be filled with opportunities for massive changes and deeper introspection. Be ready to go more deeply into your shadows and turn challenges into opportunities!

November 7 – November 19 is the 13-day period of Catalyzing Energy, which encourages us to use challenges as creative opportunities. Reacting to circumstances with emotion and drama will not help us; connecting with Nature and other realms will. Saturn is retrograde until November 15. Retrograde planets through this entire period include Neptune, Chiron, Uranus, and Jupiter. On the last day of Catalyzing Energy there is a tremendous energetic push, catalyzing us to change as Pluto moves out of Capricorn and into Aquarius on November 19.

November 20 – December 2 is the 13-day period of Choosing Energy. This is the perfect energy to support our making new and positive choices in the new Age of

Aquarius that dawned with Pluto's movement out of Capricorn and into Aquarius on November 19. Retrograde planets asking us to consider the choices we make during this entire 13-day period are Neptune, Chiron, Uranus, and Jupiter. Mercury turns retrograde on November 25, asking us to consider what and how we communicate to others. The time for judgment of others (or ourselves) is finished. Choosing Energy supports nurturing, settling all differences, and collective healing,

December 3 – December 15 is the 13-day period of Moving Energy, bringing opportunities for exploration, self-discovery and the opportunity to stop blaming or criticizing ourselves or others. This is a restless period; however, we are still cautioned to go slowly with what we think, say, or do. Mercury is still retrograde throughout this period, as are Chiron, Uranus, and Jupiter. Mars turns retrograde on December 6, and Neptune turns direct on December 8. There is a lot of movement during this 13-day period, with as many as six planets retrograde at times. Lots of movement! Try to avoid confrontations or blame during this 13-day period,and focus on discovering secrets you may not have realized about how wonderful you are (and everyone else is)!

Finally, we are asked to regulate ourselves through all the catalytic changes we have experienced in the past months (or the past years.) December 16 – December 27 is the 13-day period of Self-Regulating Energy, a period that can bring confusion or opportunities to demonstrate self-confidence, depending on the inner work we have done thus far. This is our chance to do things differently, synchronizing ourselves with the energies that are encouraging self-awareness and cooperation. In the middle of this important period, we begin the Collective Shadow Cycle that begins on December 19 and continues until January 7, 2025. This Shadow Cycle encourages us to consider the catalytic changes we have undergone, the choices we have made, review what we have accomplished, and concentrate on our opportunities to move forward as evolving humans.

With kindness, compassion, and love,
