ROAD CONSTRUCTION: A METAPHOR

ROAD CONSTRUCTION ON THE HIGHWAY OF LIFE
You've got a beautiful, wonderful destination that you've been planning for a long time. But horrendous amounts of road construction have rerouted everything. Even GPS can't figure it out, and sends you on false turns that lead nowhere. The Department of Transportation is understaffed and instructions are coming from an obsolete 1970's computer. Signage is confusing, pointing you in directions that don't exist. Your maps are useless. And you may be  running very low on gas.
If you are driving at night the way is even more impenetrable.
So maybe you look to the stars for some navigational perspective. You see that Pluto, Jupiter and Saturn are beginning a retrograde movement, usually felt as a time to
slow down, re-assess direction, revise plans, reconsider your expectations, sort out disruptions in the flow of events. You realize that the journey may be longer than you imagined.
The highway and the summer road construction are a vivid metaphor for life now. But it's important to remember that you are not a car, and that the great journey is not actually a road, and besides, you are already here!
