does it seem to move backwards (in retrograde) during the event - I don't know much about astrology, but if there's a sky event able to be seen at this spot on the globe, you can bet it will be so cloudy, one won't be able to see a thing...

past, not tangled communication, but rather a learning from the past, sharing new ideas, coming together.

Here’s a run-down from England using Brexit as a reference point. I really just found vague stuff or pure science other than this article:
