Planet Retrogrades 101
What is retrograde in Astrology? A retrograde (or an rx) occurs when a planet appears to be moving in a different direction than its normal course. The planet itself does not actually change its pattern or direction, though. It only looks this way; it’s an optical illusion. How does this affect us? When a planet appears to be moving backwards, we interpret this as the planet going inward or moving back through its experiences. For us, this can mean when a planet is in retrograde, it is time for us to slow down, back up, and spend time reflecting on our choices and our circumstances relating to what the retrograde planet represents. This can often lead to things from the past being brought into the present, causing us to face our estranged friends and ex lovers, as well as our mistakes, achievements, memories, and life choices. In Mercury’s case, we can experience issues in communication, technology, and travel because we are being called to stand still and relax, in Venus, relationship issues can occur if you have been involving yourself with the wrong people and have been denying this, and so on. Though we are called to reflect, we must refrain from actually living in the past. This is where problems can arise when a retrograde is happening, especially if it is in Mercury because we will feel the need to communicate with people from our past. What if I have planets in retrograde in my natal chart? How will a transit retrograde affect me? The same interpretation applies. The retrograde planet’s energies are turned inward. Your particular retrograde planets will be intensely felt but you will have difficulty expressing your planet’s natural energies and the traits of the sign it occupies. This can manifest as introversion, shyness, awkwardness, delays, or denial in the individual with the planet retrograde. During a transit retrograde in the same planet a person has a natal retrograde, the natal retrograde individual will be less likely to act upon the energies because they are used to them. It can however provide growth to natal retrogrades who have not yet overcome their restrictions. Below is a list of each planet’s energies and how they are affecting during a retrograde. Mercury deals with: Communication, Thinking, Planning, Organizing, Travel Transit Mercury Retrograde: miscommunication, misunderstandings, reflecting on career/education, issues with technology, plans failing or experiencing delays, vehicular issues, travel delays/setbacks, nervousness, insomnia Natal Mercury Retrograde: over-thinking, different method of thinking often misunderstood in educational/professional settings, difficulty focusing, reviewing their words before saying/writing them, social awkwardness, quirky sense of humor Venus deals with: Creativity, Comfort, Love, Romance, Relationships (Platonic or Romantic), Style, Fashion Transit Venus Retrograde: reflecting on relationships and lifestyle choices, seeing the truth in your romantic partners and friends, past relationships surfacing, focusing on your indulging habits and how to fix them, exploring and understanding your feelings, wants, and desires Natal Venus Retrograde: intense feelings, serious and passionate about love, unique/taboo interests and fashion, extremely aware of physical appearance, can be insecure and shy until they develop/mature, secrecy surrounding their comforts and desires, high standards for themselves and others, deep fears of rejection and loss Mars deals with: Desire, Passion, Assertion, Anger, Aggression Transit Mars Retrograde: delays and setbacks involving new projects, re-visiting unfinished projects, frustration, irritability, pent up energies and emotions, restlessness, obstacles, reflecting on your anger, passion, and rage, learning to let the delays happen to see what they mean for you or how they can serve you Natal Mars Retrograde: problems with standing up for yourself and others, issues with assertion and aggression, avoiding competition and confrontation, steady pace when working or doing projects, expressing bursts of passion and anger rather than the energy flowing Jupiter deals with: Higher Knowledge, Freedom, Philosophy, Luck, Religion, Spirituality Transit Jupiter Retrograde: changes in politics and social issues, re-evaluating beliefs and morals, research, seeking the truth, delays relating to travel, reflecting on spirituality, purifying the soul and body, can cause some people to behave impulsively in areas that they need growth and maturity in to help them realize this (food, spending, etc) Natal Jupiter Retrograde: unusual or unconventional beliefs and morals, different perspective than those in their family or community, prefers to learn and gain experience on their own than be taught by others, intolerant beliefs relating to karma and luck, will experience a pattern of karmic situations and relationships to help them overcome their retrograde Saturn deals with: Limitations, Karma, Restrictions, Authority, Discipline Transit Saturn Retrograde: understanding and reflecting on your insecurities and limitations, issues with authority, karma for your previous actions (good or bad depending on you), recognizing negative habits and thought patterns, government receiving karma and restrictions Natal Saturn Retrograde: irrational guilt and fear, holding themselves to high standards, lack of authority or discipline in childhood (usually from the father figure), feels nervous when following directions, standards, and regulations from authority or responsibilities, overworks themselves Uranus deals with: Individuality, Technology, Society, Unpredictability, Humanitarianism Transit Uranus Retrograde: personality changes -
