Mars, Ceres, and Jupiter Retrograde – Nourishment and Energy Management Amidst Transformation and (Re)Birth
The Power of Transformation: Nourishment and Energy Management in Times of Change
I am currently noticing, on both personal, individual, and collective levels, a theme that is of course also reflected by the current transits.
It's about nourishment, stability, and energy management—in the midst of (re)birth processes and transformation.
In the cosmos, I see these themes heavenly embodied in…
Mars in Cancer in opposition to Ceres in Capricorn
Mars in Cancer square to Chiron rx in Aries
Jupiter’s retrograde phase in Gemini, in a still-wide but tightening square with Saturn in Pisces
Pluto's direct motion in Capricorn (you can read more about that HERE)
The Lunar Nodes in Aries and Libra, Eclipse Season, and the powerful upcoming Aries Full Moon on October 17th
You may be in the process of creating new life or new projects. You may be opening yourself to unfamiliar paths and new decisions. You may be in the “incubation” phase, sensing that something is on the horizon..
Most likely, you are also in the process of birthing yourself—perhaps a new or more authentic, powerful, and true version of you. (I’ll share more about this in my upcoming newsletter + blog post for the Aries Full Moon next week.)
Self-Care and Boundaries: The Key to Nourishing Your Creative Energy
But how are you doing as the creator of this new life?
What does your body, as the sacred vessel for your creative energy, need?
What stable foundation do you need to open yourself to new paths?
Where do you need to say NO and set boundaries to create space for expansion?
Personally, I have said YES to being the creator of my new Transits for Evolution Course. I have said YES to letting this idea manifest through me. I have opened myself to allow the sacred, creative energy of this course to flow through me.
I say YES to being the loving “mother” of Transits for Evolution, and to creating this project through my body and with my physical, mental, and spiritual energy.
But with this YES comes a responsibility: the responsibility to ensure that I remain energized and to take care of my resources.

Navigating the Creative Process: The Many Forms of Creation
Perhaps you are the mother of babies, children, projects—or your new self. Perhaps you are in the middle of a creation process.
Perhaps you are “pregnant” with something new that wants to unfold within you.
My roses blessed me this year with three bloom cycles. Yet between their budding and blooming were months of rest, during which I nourished them with (organic) fertilizer.
No matter what phase of this bloom or birth process you are in,
ask yourself:
Is your energy in balance?
Are you nourishing yourself enough to nurture something new?
Is it time for you to create, or is it time for retreat and nourishment?
Are you allowing yourself to focus on your processes, or are you trying to meet others' expectations?
When and where is it important to set boundaries to preserve your strength?
Finding Balance: The Challenge During Jupiter Retrograde 2024
With Jupiter’s retrograde in the mentally active Gemini, it might be challenging to find focus and set priorities. You may feel overwhelmed or pressured to plan and accomplish everything right now…
However, in order to explore new paths with curiosity, openness, playfulness, and courage—to expand yourself on all levels—you’ll need a certain degree of rest, centering, and grounding (hello, retrograde)—at least for a while…
I’ll wrap up here, as I, too, am being especially mindful of my energy, strength, and time right now. But I’m confident that I’ve given you enough nourishment for reflection and (hopefully) greater self-understanding.
