Mercury to Pluto have cycles referred to as retrograde
and direct motion. 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 (because the planet is about to go
into retrograde motion). 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 slows 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
stationary 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 the
energies in a 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 stationary planet.
Some Astrologers through studying individual charts have found evidence that
the stationary planet can be the most powerful influence in the birth chart and
that the energies of this stationary 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 again 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 quite 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. The stationary direct’s
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 (much
less self-study and reflection). 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 in a similar
manner as a planet that is in direct motion.
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.
