Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month and Year: “the magic carpet of Oriental imagery” (transcending issues, adventure)
I always mention that the day a planet stations retrograde or direct is intensive. The energetics can take their toll on our emotional, mental, and physical bodies. This happened yesterday with Mercury stationing retrograde at the highly emotionally-charged energetic of “an Indian warrior riding fiercely, human scalps hanging from his belt.”
Today, the wisdom of the Sabian symbols today tells us to care for our physical bodies. The Sun discharges the energetic of “a woman sprinkling flowers.” It’s a gentle, nurturing energetic that calls for resting the mind, and thus resting the body.
