Mercury turns retrograde; the eclipse sitting atop of the retrograde Mars and square Uranus; this aspect “INSISTS on change. We MUST LET GO of whatever isn’t working and try something new. So, although this eclipse is initially problematic, it might feel like a breath of fresh air since it will likely sever that which has been holding us back. Being innovative — and finding creative inspiration are the keys to success at the time of this eclipse.” Remember, we can’t stop Revolution energy, but we can try to choose how we participate. Try tackling some issues with a different frame of reference and attitude; you may just find a very workable and welcoming solution.
