The Beatles: Tomorrow Never Knows
Uranus retrograde, Moon sextile Mercury, Moon square Jupiter, Moon sextile Neptune

Uranus goes retrograde today and will remain that way until the early days of November. When an outer planet goes retrograde it is a time when its energy tends to be more internally focussed. Uranus is the planet of change and radical alterations. It is a time for a revolution from within.

This month marks the 42nd Birthday of the Revolver Album (It finished recording on June 21, 1966). This is one of my favorite Beatles songs, and it is still quite fresh sounding. I read it described somewhere as the first Drum and Bass song, which is so true. In the documentary about the song above, John says a lot of his inspiration came from the Tibetan Book of the Dead. The lyrics pretty much sum up how to deal with Uranus retrograde energies. If you have any planets from 19 degrees to 22 degrees in your chart, you will especially be effected by this energy. No matter what change comes your way in the upcoming months, just turn off your mind, relax and float downstream….

Here are the lyrics:

Turn off your mind, relax
and float down stream
It is not dying
It is not dying

Lay down all thought
Surrender to the void
It is shining
It is shining

That you may see
The meaning of within
It is being
It is being

That love is all
And love is everyone
It is knowing
It is knowing

That ignorance and hate
May mourn the dead
It is believing
It is believing

But listen to the
color of your dreams
It is not living
It is not living

Or play the game
existence to the end
Of the beginning
