When a planet is transiting through the
zodiac, the planets from Mercury to Pluto have cycles of retrograde and
direct. The Sun and the Moon never go
into retrograde motion. The Planets, at
times, appear to slow down. They then
appear to stop their forward motion.
During this apparent stoppage of motion, it is known as stationary
retrograde. The planet will remain in
this stationary position for up to a few days duration, depending on the planet
in question. After the planet moves into
retrograde motion (appears to be moving backwards) and then completes its
retrograde cycle, it once again begins to slow down and then appear to come to
a stop. This is termed stationary direct
in Astrology. The length of time a
planet is in stationary direct also depends on the planet involved. The outer planets remain in their stationing
position longer than the inner planets.
There has been some controversy concerning
the meaning of stationary positions in the natal chart. Some Astrologers, including this Astrologer, share
the concept through experience that the stationary direct as well as the
stationary retrograde have a very powerful influence on a person’s natal chart.
It has been noted that an individual with a
planet in a stationary position in the birth chart will have emphasizes on the
defining energies of the planet involved.
There is also influence from the sign that the planet is in and the
house placement of that planet. Some Astrologers
have found evidence that the stationary planet can be the most powerful
influence in the birth chart and that the energies of this planet will rule
much of the activity that will be released.
At some point in the person’s life, these energies and the influence of
the planet will become very significant.
The energies of the stationary planet have been linked to the defining
purpose of the individual’s life. This Astrologer
believes that if there are other signatures within the birth chart that point
in the same direction and imply something very similar, this is the case,
particularly if the North or South nodes are involved in the equation.
It has been suggested that someone with a
stationary retrograde planet in the birth chart will at some point experience
the energies related to the planet involved within the area of life the house
dictates as well as the energies of the sign it falls under. However the individual with the stationary
retrograde will only discover this after some time of inner reflection as well
as much life experiences that will lead to an awakening of sorts depending on
the planet and its placement. This may
take time as well as much self study or thought-provoking experiences before it
is released. This is similar to a
retrograde planet in the birth chart as it suggests that there is some inner
reflection required before action can be taken.
The stationary direct individual has a
different experience although the process is the same. Its influence depends on the sign the
stationary planet is in and the house placement. However the stationary direct individual has
a much easier time unleashing the energies associated with the planet and its
placement. Things seem to work much easier
and on a more outward expression. The
motivating factor that facilitates the desired information or acknowledgement
and understanding can be released at a much early stage in life or under less restrictive
conditions, working on a much similar manner as does a planet once it goes
direct.
The energies released and the influence of
the planet involved is still of primary importance but the direct stationary
energies seem to come through in a much easier manner than the energies of the
retrograde stationary planet.
