Venus, Mercury, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto will all be retrograde as of August 28th. That’s six planets.
Venus will turn direct on September 3rd, leaving five planets retrograde. Roughly thirteen hours later on September 4th, Jupiter will turn retrograde and we’ll be back to six planets reversed.
This situation will be sustained until Mercury turns direct on September 15th,
It’s possible this will be a frustrating time. I doubt many will be leaping ahead but I don’t know that it’s that simple. This feels more like “agreement” to me.
I’m suggesting there is broad agreement we’ll all be served by taking a pause to reflect and/or revisit certain things.
I’m suggesting, it makes little sense to look at this and conclude it’s negative. It makes more sense to note that most of these planets will significant support during this period.
If I were to choose between six planets retrograde and the gaslighting Mercury Mars conjunction opposing Neptune, monstrosity, I’d go with the retrograde planets for sure. You might look at it as a period of grace, where you’re given the opportunity go back and and pick up what you missed the first time.
What do you think about six planets retrograde?
My main focus at the moment is traversing the period until January 20/21st 2023 and Pluto reentering Aquarius. This revisit of Pluto/Capricorn (Pluto/Saturn in essence) I want to maximise the opportunity to dismantle the past and it’s hold on me psychically. Break through old density that is causing a sense of obstructions, limitation, negative or trapped perspective, so as to move forward lighter, freer and more optimistic. Whatever helps this process, including retrograde planets is welcome, albeit I’m sure it’ll involve more discomfort in the short term.
This sounds excellent.
2024 🙂
There is one funny thing (ok, not funny, because it’s Pluto after all), but while Pluto transmitted Cap (and nothing else, my 12th house too), my sex life went MIA.
It’s not that I’ve been a nun or joined a nunnery, it was just like… Limitations. Partners without any or at least a matching libido. For so long time I wondered why.
I mean, I have 3 personal planets + Jupiter in Scorpio, and Moon + Pluto conjunct Saturn in Libra in my 8th, so of course it makes kinda pretty much a lot of sense, as Saturn is limitations and boundaries, and in 8th house, with moon there…
Hello rejection !
What it also meant was, that I needed to reform/work on my physical/intimate boundaries in regards to my intimate life.
This week I finally realized how physical abuse in childhood had affected my love life and thus my intimate life/partner type choices throughout my life. It was one hell of a heureka-moment, I’ll say, and it was triggered when I least expected it: during an intimate moment.
Talk about akward.
It also makes sense that this came during Pluto re-entering Capricorn.
I hope to really let go of these scars during the next months, and I am now re-entering therapy to deal with the so-deeply-buried anger and hurt that it took me almost 20 years to face. When I did, my anger was located in the lowest parts of my stomach…
Last year I had my uterus removed due to endometriosis, and the anger felt like it was located in the exact same spot as that. I don’t doubt it’s possible there is an emotional /physical connection between this deeply buried trauma and my uterus’ “sickness” during my life.
And my deep wounding sending me straight into the arms of men who would “activate” this trauma (even if I couldn’t realize its source)
You really captured this. Thank you!
You’re welcome!
I am happy if anyone else can benefit from these insights of mine.
As they were +10 years underway, they deserve to be shared so that others might benefit too!
oh my, Anette all this is very timely <3 Your epiphanies with the endo explains so much regarding dear people I know [and me!]. I am curious as to your thoughts about the cervix as gatekeeper in all this? While not endo [but everything else] for me, and your post has me thinking maybe it's because the grief swamped the anger? Same same different same lol!
It's either the slippery slide into the swiss cheese holes lined up, or find the alternative side door. While very traumatic when confronted, it's forced me to review not just what happened, and how it was dealt, but also the narratives. [pluto conj mh, sq asc along with other stuff] So it's not just therapy, but also reframing how I go about it. Getting help and support that works for me, is not the same interest that others have for me. Best in their eyes, not my being. But, we're both right, and can work that out I'm now seeing, and attempting. Staunch vibes to you!
Elsa thank you <3
Oh my, Marty.
I am so sorry and also, kinda relieved on your behalf.
Because these things are really deep. It’s a mix of both sorrow and anger and rage and it’s all very nasty.
I talked to my therapist and our couples therapist (lol, I am really working this therapist threadmill these days…) and we are finally able to slowly work our way through the quagmire of things that’s been holding our many problems suspended in midair for several years.
I can only wish you will find healing as well as deep work of sorrows. Sorrow is homeless love. Sometimes that love is actually missing self love. Or at least, as we as children are not born with traumas per se, but different generational traumas can be inflicted upon us from our parents and so the cycle continues unless we commit to breaking the negative energy pattern.
It takes so much courage to really break free, and you and the people you know will be able to do this eventually. Much hope and luck to you in your process!
As for the cervix as gatekeeper… Look into the theories of the Root Chakra.
It’s very Scorpio like.
And I have 4 planets in the sign, opposite Chiron in the 3th/4th house (depending on the house system).
The colors are dark reds, black, sorrow, life/death, and the root chakra tied tied to both genetials and legs. You cannot stand firm unless you have a solid root chakra.
Root chakra is our connection to others, survival, reaching out, others touch (a baby dies without touch).
But the root are tied to the heart chakra as well, so you see – it is about love, self love and loss/sorrow of self love.
The heart chakra is green and I think it would probably relate to the Leo and Cancer signs.
Makes sense?
Ugh, Im guessing it will be discussions from the media about masking up and discussing possible covid lockdowns cause of the variant. Many vaxxed people are also getting sick cause the virus always mutates, so the vax was for naught when it comes to the new variants. Maybe there will be a toilet paper shortage, food shortages too !
I think it’s more likely that the vaxxed are getting sick because they were injected with poisons (like lipid nanoparticles). The “variants” only “exist” because Pharma needs to make their quarterly profits and people are saying no to boosters. Thus the fear campaign. Don’t buy into any of it.
I have a few family members who developed heart problems after the Vax. Everyone else is doing OK. I’m observing about 2 to 3 percent adverse reaction. We all got thru Covid ok, but heart problems are forever!
Wont Jupiter be part of the planets retrograding as well?
Yes. I typed Uranus instead of Jupiter. I’ve fixed it. Thanks for the catch!
But I thought it was more of an addition to – as in both Jupe n Uranus will retrograde along with the others?
Yes, that’s what it says…
What happens here is there are 6 planets rx. Then Venus turns direct and the next day, Jupiter (rather than Uranus) turns retrograde. Uranus is of course, already retrograde.
I typed the work “Uranus” when I should have typed “Jupiter”. Otherwise I believe this is correct.
Gotcha. Thank you.
I’ve been reading a book about how resistance thwarts creativity, and how professionals of all kinds routinely overcome it in order to do what they do. I’m going to allow this retrograde period to help me with “extreme novelty” creation and navigation through whatever it brings to my life while I ignore the same old same old propaganda machine tactics the “powers that be” are going to try to foist upon us. Time to step off that tired paradigm for something fresh and new. “It’s a brave new world if you can handle it” sort of thing. Or in other words, evolve or die, mthrfkrs!
Omigosh, I LOVE this. Thanks! Spot on for me too.
I don’t really know why I often feel transits before they actually happen.
This time, I’ve been revisiting several times and memories whose mere thought have sent me panicking and running in the opposite direction for what seems like forever (60 YEARS, some of them!!).
This time, I’ve been able to contemplate a lot of these old traumas and fears calmly, and have found that hey, that wasn’t so bad!! In fact, some things were actually good and set me on a path that I’m glad I am able to see more clearly and appreciatively now.
But it’s early days… who knows how I’ll feel when trVenus hits my Sun/Pluto in 9, and trSun also hits my Mercury in 9, together wth trMars zapping my Chiron in 10.
And trSaturn is in 3, making it sticky and difficult to articulate – even to myself – what I actually MEAN by all this…
In late 2014, I was hit by a thunderbolt that told me: all the trauma will be resolved and healed on 15 September and everything will be ok then (the thunderbolt didn’t include knowledge of the YEAR so I’ve been waiting and waiting and WAITING and setting up meaningless charts for 15 September since then).
I always feel time goes too quickly, so the idea that several planets are retrograding is rather appealing. “Getting the chance to go back and pick up” what I may have missed, is how I’m seeing it.
