RETROGRADE PLANETS IN TRANSIT
Sheet Music
The power of standing still!!!
The phenomenal retrograde movement of the planets and the exact meaning of this “altered” course, has always been one of the most controversial subjects, in the field of astrology. Planets during their retrograde motion are, supposedly, weakened or turning their energies inwardly. The results range from, an inability on behalf of the planet to function normally, up to the absolute disaster! Especially in transits, retrograde planets are quite often treated with absolute fear!!! Retro Mercury is blamed blame for lost mail, cancelled flights, delayed trips e.t.c as if the rest of the time, when Mercury was direct, everything and everywhere in the world was running smoothly! Under the same light, retro Venus is the reason why most people break up and retro Mars gets blamed for accidents of all kind .And the beat goes on!!! To me, one thing is for certain. Retrograde planets DO change the course of events! First of all, planets don’t get weak during th is phase. On the contrary, I have come to believe that during retrograde motion a planet exerts a stronger influence than before due to its slowest pace. Especially when stationary, a planet is at maximum power. The power of standing still! This effect is most easily shown with the faster planets, where the difference in speed between direct and rerto motion is considerably considerably greater that the change of speed in planets from Jupiter and outwards. During retro motion the faster planets get somewhat promoted in status of influence. After all it is one of the basic axioms of astrology that, the slowest the planet, the “stronger” he is. That’s why we consider Jupiter to be stronger than Mars, but Saturn stronger that Jupiter and, of course, Pluto strongest of all! Now, when any planet is changing motion, he supposedly affects the matters of the house he is transiting but in order for this effect to be noticeable, in my opinion, the planet has to station over a sensitive point inside that house and preferably a natal planet. Now, the three outer planets are so slow in their motion that they will station over every single point in the chart. And indeed, very serious things happen as these planets change their course. When Saturn stations over a natal planet, there is probably a very serious lesson to be learned concerning the affinities of that natal planet. Jupiter can denote a missed chance or a sudden good fortune. In all cases, the route of events that spring form the relationship of the transiting planet with t he natal planet and the house that contains it, is changing. Something new gets in the picture for good or ill. One special case is the triple return. When a transiting planet retrogrades over the same area he used to occupy at birth it highlights the abovementioned abovementioned return in a very special way. It often acts as the catalyst for a chain of events that will unfold probably in more houses except from the house where the triple return takes place. A triple Venus or Mars return is a quite rar event for example and it is worth taking a look at charts with such returns and then ask the client what special event followed that period.
I will certainly write more about retrograde planets planets in some future article because it’s a fascinating subject and I still ha ve a lo to discover!!!
