We were questioned last week by someone
reading one of our posts if we could offer some insight into the large number
of planets in retrograde and Jupiter stationary. We appreciate the question and it is
certainly a valid one.
This is a significant point in time when we
have all the planets excluding Jupiter and Venus in retrograde (beginning
August 7, 2018). Mercury will go direct
on August 19 followed by Mars on August 27.
The period between August 7 and August 19 should be particularly
interesting.
Retrograde planets, except Saturn, become
stifled in their natural expression. Their
energies feel harnessed and they are not allowed full expression. This can create great difficulty with life
events and decisions made under these energies, especially with Mercury retrograde
(towards the end of July, 2018).
Jupiter was stationary July 10 and 11 which
indicated profound energies. Jupiter’s
energies focus on expansion, so we may yet experience something more relevant
and extensive than what is unraveling now.
If there are hasty decisions being made, it might affect us on a global
level, although I never predict doom and gloom as there are always alternative
ways of dealing with life.
There are valuable lessons being taught all
around us at this time and we should be listening. When Mercury goes retrograde, any profound
decision making is best to be delayed and then acted upon once Mercury turns
direct again (August 20). This energy
should be used as a period of deep reflection and it affords insight not
action. Contemplation too will be
stifled especially when Uranus goes retrograde on August 8.
Saturn retrograde is actually a positive
energy as it operates similar to Jupiter.
Saturn retrograde promotes growth rather than prompting stagnation and
obstacles. Saturn should promote sturdy
and reliable results over the long haul.
It builds structure and solid ground.
It suggests stability over time, but the rest of the energies are harnessed
at least for now. Maybe this is
suggesting a focus on Saturn’s energies and allowing the other energies to be
reviewed while we build this solid foundation to move forward in the future.
Once all of the restricted energies are
release by these planets going direct again, we will be able to use their
energies beneficially. For now on a
personal level, understand that we are being challenged and making rash decisions
just might be part of the process. We
must use as much rational as possible, noting irregularities and responding
with much more caution than we normally do.
The energies around us are stifled somewhat and it is best to wait before
responding especially in matters that can have profound and lasting effects on
us and the world around us.
