As of May 9, 2016, Jupiter went from
retrograde to direct.
As of May 22, 2016, Mercury also went
direct. Mercury had been retrograde from
April 28, 2016, and during the retrograde motion, it is not a good time to make
plans and set things in motion. These
influences have now cleared and you may notice a release of sorts as there actually
have been as many as five planets in retrograde during this time period.
Jupiter went retrograde in January, 2016,
and although it does not have the same effects as Mercury, Jupiter often
suggests that the learning principles have been challenged and it may have felt
as though we were going nowhere or at the very least, moving at a snail’s pace. In reality, retrograde planets indicate
reflection and deeper introspection depending on where they are located in our
charts, as well as any planets they aspect as they make their way backwards
through the zodiac.
Mars is still in retrograde motion and will
remain there until the end of June, 2016.
Mars’ energy pushes us forward and we may feel that we have been held
back in our movement, particularly on a spiritual level, in our religious
views, in travel plans, and/or through litigation, because of the retrograde
motion of Jupiter. We should feel some
relief now and again when Mars goes direct and we may experience a sudden
release of pressure and a movement forward in life. Mars went retrograde mid-April, 2016, and we
may have felt stagnated or had less energy, including sexual energy, during its
retrograde motion.
Remember that the houses that these planets
are transiting through will be the areas of life affected. It is also important to look to see where
these planets were located in the natal chart. If we have planets that have been affected by
these retrogrades (in particular if they have held positions of major impact --conjunction,
square, or opposition), then the direct motion will affect us on a more profound
level. The greater the number of planets
and important points (ASC, MC, DC, and IC) that they touch, the stronger the
impact in our chart.
Mercury was in retrograde from 23-14 degrees
Taurus. Jupiter was in retrograde from
23 to 14 degrees Virgo and Mars will be in retrograde from 8 degrees
Sagittarius to 23degrees Scorpio. We can
tabulate the times especially by conjunction when these planets once again pass
over these critical degrees and once again touch sensitive areas in our charts.
This has been a challenging times for those
that have been affected and especially for those that had any of these planets
retrograde when they were born. We
should feel much more freedom of movement and a sense of clear direction as
these planets go direct again.
