The Skies Are in a Mood: How an Astrology Reading Helps You Ride the Waves
Oct 17, 2026
If life has felt heavy lately, you are not imagining it. 🌪️
Right now, 10 chart pieces are in retrograde. Venus, Neptune, Saturn, Chiron, Uranus, both Nodes, and more, all moving backwards at the same time. And Mercury joins them on October 24. 🪐
The Astrological weather is harsh right now. It can feel like pushing through molasses. For me, I am finding that my plans keep stalling. I am also noticing old wounds rise to the surface. Overall this is a time when your nervous system asks for more rest than you think you have time for.
HERE'S WHY AN ASTROLOGY READING WOULD HELP RIGHT NOW 🔮
The same weather lands differently on each of us. A transit that gently taps one person's chart can shake another person's whole foundation. This is the push and pull I wrote about in my last post: the push and pull within your chart, meeting the push and pull of the moving planets.
When you know your own unique push and pull patterns, everything shifts:
🌊 You stop taking the cosmic waves so personally
🧭 You know which areas of your life are being stirred, and why
🌿 You can plan rest, action, and healing in rhythm with the sky
💗 You meet yourself with so much more compassion
✨ You move through intense times with more grace and ease
Awareness is a balm. Once you can name what is happening, you can work with it.
A Soul Astrology Reading gives you this awareness, channeled for you, right here and right now. A Dharmic Current Soul Reading is especially powerful in times like these. It shows you the 4 year soul path you are walking now and what is waiting for you in the cycles ahead.
