Planets
from Mercury to Pluto (yes we are including poor little 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 in the heavens. They then appear to stop
their forward motion. During this appearance of their 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 completes
this 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 much longer than the inner
planets.
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 emphasize on the energies represented by the planet in
question. There is also influence from the sign that the planet is in and the
house that stationary planet is located in.
Some
Astrologers through client chart studies 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 how to use these energies after a time of lengthy inner
reflection coupled with 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 directs influence depends on the sign the stationary
planet is in and the house placement. However, the stationary direct individual
has a much more easy time unleashing the energies associated with the planet
and its placement (much less self-study and reflection). Things seem to work more
smoothly 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. The Stationary direct influence works in a
similar manner as a planet that is in direct motion.
The
energies released and the influence of the planet involved is of primary
importance but the direct stationary energies seemed to come through in a much more
flowing, less restrictive manner than the energies of the retrograde stationary
planet.
These
energies work in a similar manner through transit. For the period of time the transit influence
is in effect, the individual will be subject to these energies being
released. The difference between a
transit and a natal positioning is that the transit is temporary in nature
while the natal influence will express itself when the individual is ready
during the full life cycle.

built on that to show the stationary location.
