Retrogrades: A Magical Time
Last week three major planets reversed their direction. Saturn (in Aquarius), Venus (in Gemini) and Jupiter (in Capricorn). Retrogrades turn us inward to assess, reflect and to inquire deeply about our past. When planets retrograde, the past reappears, decisions are delayed, plans are set aside for reflection and assessment and all areas and subjects associated with the retrograde planets are reviewed in order to either renew, revitalize, reorganize or set them aside forever.
Saturn will retrograde till the end of September, Venus till June 24th and Jupiter till September 12th. In their midst, Mercury retrogrades mid-June. It’s a magical upside-down time, of psychologically turning inward, giving us perspective to the past two months of enforced confinement.
Saturn is time. With Saturn retrograde, our sense of time changes. Retrogrades turn things, including time, to previous times. Often we will ask “what time is it again?” Saturn is St. Peter guarding the doors to heaven. Saturn is the scales of justice. The rings of Saturn signify needed limitations Saturn places upon us in order to develop discipline, discernment and discrimination.
With the Venus retrograde we review & reflect upon our values, resources, finances & relationships. We are to discover our real values. It’s good to ask do we have values that we can identify? Do our values comply with the world’s values? Assessing what actually are our values? And how well we are tending to resources and relationships.
Jupiter expands everything. Sometimes too much. Jupiter is love of knowledge, wisdom, abundance, generosity, temperance. Jupiter is the king of the gods, the teacher, guru, higher mind, college, journeys and understanding the big picture. Jupiter is laws, ethics, religions, spiritual studies. During Jupiter retrograde unexplored blessings are revealed and an appreciation for all things loving dawns on us. We seek to become Goodwill ambassadors.
During retrogrades we assess and re-assess everything. During this retrograde time, we will assess our present crisis, the laws we are living under and how to, with our creative imaginations, begin to create the new world we want to live in. Together. Restoring our faith in all things good.
