I leave for Russia in 48 hours and can't believe how quickly it has arrived! I am very excited to be visiting Mother Russia and experiencing what she and her people have to offer. I am expecting some powerful and deep shifts for our tour group, and have no doubt the energies will extend to everyone participating energetically too. What we experience in Russia will be preparing the energies for our trip to Turkey in October, so as Kuthumi-Agrippa always says "hold onto your bootstraps!"

If you would like to tune into what we are doing on the tour to Russia, and participate energetically, please download our itinerary and follow it with us and listen to the channellings on the days we will be working with them. This is all outlined in the itinerary.

Astrologically there are some very powerful energies supporting these changes. Saturn, the greater malefic has just entered Libra, it's exalted position, so very dramatic energies will be at play. Jupiter, the greater benefic, turned retrograde in Aries today, bringing with it some supercharged fiery energies. However, because it is retrograde these energies may very well be mismanaged, internalized, or be invisible to some. The theme of this retrograde is like experiencing a "bomb under the blanket". This retrograde is stirring up some highly volatile energies, therefore, many people are dealing with volatile and seething emotions stirring beneath the surface, which may very well blow up when least expected, or at the slightest prompting. Over and above this, this retrograde will also challenge political arenas and big corporates to re-asses their governing systems to ensure power is not being abused and mismanaged. That said, we know this is the case in most arenas. Thus, we can expect many actions of misconduct, mismanagement and abuse of power to be exposed, if not now, then most certainly once Jupiter turns direct on the 18th of November, and the weeks following this.

During this period bear in mind that things will be blown out of proportion, exaggerated and tempers may flare. Everything that has been brewing will now more than likely become more intense and explode. People will react to unfair and unjust actions, the only problem is that is will be an over-reaction, and could lead to some nasty experiences if people insist on taking the law into their own hands. Therefore, contain your emotions as best you can, and re-asses and review what you are feeling before you take action so as not to run the risk of making mountains out of mole hills. Jupiter symbolizes everything large, loud, glitzy and glamorous, so watch what happens in the entertainment world. It also symbolizes law, religion, philosophy and positions of power and fame. Aries symbolizes fiery action, war, hostility, ambition and everything bold and courageous. As I said though, Jupiter is retrograding in Aries, which means instead of action being taken to courageously solve problems the opposite may very well occur, and wars could escalate, personally and politically.

Over an above this, Mercury will be turning retrograde on the 21st of August in early degrees of Virgo until the 13th of September adding to the very important need to retreat, rest, research, as well as review, re-asses, re-evaluate, and re-organize everything that has been causing chaos or upset in your life. I will however write more about this closer to the time.
