thank you for the 10,000+ followers! a game with no exchange will be released:)

now that i've written and understand planets in retrograde thoroughly they will be included in chart readings for free.

THE SUN AND THE MOON CANNOT BE IN RX.

MERCURY IN RX

♇ having mercury in rx makes someone think more often, especially over the most pettiest things they think is big. they're very anxious people, and since it is in retrograde it could be implied that they're "wired differently" they think more out of the box, and even speak different, how they speak and write could be very distinct.

♇ mercury in retrograde could give someone inactive relatives, or cousins and siblings they're not close to. and since they're people who doubt themselves a lot, they could stall themselves from the path they're supposed to take, being their own obstacles. they could also be people who take some time to take in/process information.

♇ as i said they're people who hold themselves back a lot, this could link to their childhood, might've had people speak over them and silence them when they were younger.

VENUS IN RX

♇ people who have venus in retrograde might focus on love too much, and they could be people who have a struggling relationship with women. sisters, women who are their cousins and women who are their friends.

♇ they could also be very secretive people, they have a hard time opening up, which could make them be deemed as cold. they have a hard time giving and receiving affection.

♇ they could be bad at handling money, and might think everyone is out to get them. they could find it hard to love themselves, having venus in rx, is the peak of the "tortured poet".

MARS IN RX

♇ those who have mars in retrograde could have a hard time getting along with men, or even with the opposite sex. to have mars in rx could mean you could be considered as someone who i very intense. can a hard time expressing your sexuality and aiming for your goals.

♇ instead of learning life lessons quick, they are normally stubborn people and barely listen to advice given to them by trusted people. could be people who are too hesitant, say and do things at the wrong time and place.

♇ people with mars in retrograde might've gone through sexual trauma, could be scared to be intimate with other people. they're people who hate authority or people trying to have dominance over them. the type of people to not listen to the rules and break them.

JUPITER IN RX

♇ people who have jupiter in rx are the definition of "thinking out of the box", they're people who do have moments that question their faith and some of these people tend to have a God Complex.

♇ sometimes they feel like they're the unluckiest person in the world, might feel like they wont be able to travel the world like they want to. could also have long cycles of depression.

♇ having jupiter in retrograde can mean they're someone who marches to the beat of their own drum, they can be very detail-oriented people, which sometimes mean they feel like they can judge anyone and think of themselves to be flawless. jupiter in rx people are the type of people who want everything in their future to be perfect also, without life's trials and tribulations. can be unrealistic.

SATURN IN RX

♇ as it is told, saturn in retrograde brings a father that wasnt in the person's life, the person who has the saturn in rx can make someone feel like they're being punished by life all the time.

♇ this could also mean they might find it hard to express themselves emotionally, could be due to their childhood. they go through many trials and tribulations, makes them depressive, but in the end they become really wise.

♇ they doubt themselves a lot, could have trouble balancing themselves, and their masculinity, could be too domineering.

URANUS IN RX

♇ people with uranus in rx do not like change, they're likely insecure, [not all are going to be due to different commodities in a chart], but these are usually people who think they are not going to succeed in life.

♇ they sometimes feel like they're in control of nothing which pushes them into their need of controlling everything. they're quick-thinkers but still over-thinkers. they feel like they can never feel nice in a platonic or romantic connection.

♇ it leads them into being paranoid and chaotic. they might also put themselves in a box to make things easier, don't know they're limiting their potential when doing that, they're so much more and need to understand it.

NEPTUNE IN RX

♇ to have neptune in rx could make the kin be very delusional, might find it hard to separate idealistic views with reality. definitely reminds me of alice in wonderland. they're very spiritual people but can over-whelm people by adding their faith into everything.

♇ could be really good at manifesting; trust issues but sometimes are stubborn from learning their mistakes. can be deemed as very dreamy and compassionate.

♇ they could have this feeling of needing to save everyone. their trials and tribulations are a creative outlet for them, another indicator of being the tortured poet. [but the tiring and damaging things they go through are usually expressed through their art, which includes writing, story-telling, writing music, painting etc].

PLUTO IN RX

♇ i do get surprised when i come across these in a natal chart reading, but, pluto in rx folks definitely do hate constraint, they dislike authority and feeling like they're being controlled, which could push them into trying to control other people.

♇ could be escapists through drug and sex, they could also find it hard to accept their dark-self. easily infatuated people, people can get easily obsessed with them as they can get with other people.

♇ good money makers, could manipulate others with materialism, though, they might not be confrontational, could feel easily intimidated. sometimes could never see the potential in themselves can be their own obstacle.

NATAL

RETROGRADES

Copywrites Reserved ©️GeminiMoonMadness

A retrograde in astrology is when a planetary object appears to move backwards, which essentially means the planet's energy is somewhat effected, so those life areas that fall under that planet's domain are not as easily expressed. It’s a very karmic thing to have in the natal chart, your soul chose to incarnate to learn deeper lessons regarding the areas of life ruled by that specific planet/asteroid. To know if you have a natal retrograde in your chart, look for Rx or R on a generated chart calculator.

Fun fact: Mars is the rarest retrograde.

❤️��❤️

Planets

If your Ruling Planet is Retrograde it will make you doubt yourself more and you may experience self image issues.

For example: A Gemini Rising with a natal Mercury retrograde or A Sagittarius Rising with a natal Jupiter retrograde.

Mercury Retrograde gives you lessons around communication, learning and intellect. You may struggle to articulate words and speak up or may even talk too much and not know when to be quiet.

Venus Retrograde makes someone’s nature more intense & deep. They take their connections very seriously which may cause these individuals to go through difficulties in regards to their one on one relationships. Since socialising is not taken lightly there can be some sort of awkwardness when participating in small talk and general shyness in order to avoid superficial connections.

Mars Retrograde individuals may lack forward movement, assertive abilities, have a dulled passion & drive. They may feel fatigued & tired more than often. Your sex drive may also be effected because of this.

Jupiter Retrograde individuals tend to have different or unusual perspectives, belief systems, or sets of morals. They prefer to learn from their own experiences rather than from others. This placement gives me “what do you know because you’ve experienced it yourself VS what do you know because you were told” vibes.

Saturn Regrograde burdens you with responsibilities and a sense of duty in your life. You may struggle with boundaries and find it difficult to say no to others.

Uranus Retrograde may make it hard for you to fully express your inner originality and unique side. These individuals are born a rebel and may also experience unexpected & sudden karmic events in their life.

Neptune Retrograde takes away your rose coloured glasses, you may have to face hard and painful realities as the neptunian illusion is stripped away. You’re meant to discover the truth behind your illusions, realise what is sacred and be a source of light in others lives.

Pluto Retrograde brings more growth opportunities into your life. You may have a fear of letting go which you’re here to learn the importance of doing so. You need to take control of your life as your shadow side may take over if you don’t do the work to transform/grow. (Shadow work is necessary with this placement)

(I know Lilith isn’t a planet, just adding it)

Lilith Retrograde can make you a sexual deviant (because sexuality is part of Lilith’s nature and here it's manifesting differently). You may struggle with following your instincts and acknowledging your desires. For example: Someone with a retrograde Lilith in Virgo would not be the typical control freak Lilith in Virgo person, instead they will be very messy.

ASTEROIDS

Chiron Retrograde means that trauma is deep within and may even come from a past life. In this lifetime, these individuals are here to re-evaluate your relationship with anyone & anything that doesn’t support you anymore. They may find it challenging to accept their feelings and the simple fact that humans are imperfect and vulnerable.

Ceres Retrograde individuals can struggle with having the nourishment, support, resources they need and may experience a lack in some way. This usually means that your upbringing failed to teach you the proper lessons about nurture and self care, so you'll have to learn it yourself. Check your Ceres sign and it will teach you what you need to nurture.

Juno Retrograde individuals may have commitment issues or trauma they need to work through. This also is an indication of past life karma in regards to relationships. These people are the lone wolves, they tend to avoid partnerships & may even prefer to be single and independent.

Vesta Retrograde individuals may lack devotion and discipline. It can bring up issues around fear of sexuality or intimacy, obsession, prostitution or selling yourself short in some way. They’re here to learn the value of service, this will examine how much dedication they’re putting into their life. When we put in little dedication, we can suffer. When we put in too much dedication, we can suffer as well. They may struggle with feeling like they fit in because they tend to lack devotion and/or generosity for others.

Pallas Retrograde may make someone aggressive, immature, have criminal tendencies and daddy issues. These individuals strategy may not be accept by society, with a ‘pick me’ vibe. They are inclined to manipulate and lie but can overcome these traits with self awareness and shadow work.

Amor retrograde individuals have some sort of discomfort when it comes to romance. You may have some old love issues and traumas to work through. These people tend to take a different approach to romance.

Cupido Retrograde may mean you have way too many crushes or rarely have any. You become too infatuated at times, or lack passion, and need to find a balance between the two.

Eros Retrograde may cause some issues around sex. This indicates there may be past trauma on a soul level, so you need to work on acknowledging your desires and acting on urges and fantasies in a healthy way.

Hermes Retrograde people tend to be in the wrong crowd and often find themselves taking the fall for others mistakes. These people tend to be good people but they may not be the best at balancing their life and managing their time. Possible fertility issues. Due to past accidents or incidents they have experienced in a past life may give them travel-related fears in this life. (fear of flying, fear of water, fear of driving, fear of bikes, fear of trains, fear of horses, etc.)

Eris Retrograde people may unintentionally cause trouble by doing things they thought wouldn’t be an issue. They may not like confronting others because it feels uncomfortable or they feel attacked whenever they speak up for themselves - They tend to experience a lot of gaslighting yet they usually hate fighting with others. They may often feel as though they are alone even when surrounded by other people.

Aphrodite Retrograde individuals may experience extremes from having stalkers to not being adored by others at all. They may feel unseen and unappreciated by others, making it often difficult to appreciate themselves. They tend to experience a lot of drama and may not be the most jealous person but rather the person who is too insecure to be openly jealous as if it’s like they expected it, “too good to be true” vibes.

❤️🖤❤️

I tried to be as informative as I could and added as much variety as I can with the asteroids I’m familiar with. There are other retrogrades I haven’t listed here.

Let me know which of these you have!

𝒊. 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒅𝒆?

when a planet is in retrograde (rx), it appears to be moving/rotating backwards from our point of view on earth. it's important to note the planet is not actually moving backwards - it just looks that way because of its position in relation to earth and the sun. with that in mind, the sun and moon cannot be in retrograde.

𝒊𝒊. 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒊𝒕 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒏 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒂 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒆𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒅𝒆?

when a planet is in retrograde, often it makes it harder to deal with its energy. it could cause a lot of internal conflicts that also impact connections with people throughout one's life.

having a planet in retrograde in your natal chart is not a bad thing or a bad placement - it just means one has to work a little harder to understand and harness the energy of the planet compared to ones that are direct.

technically, this post was made to read for natal retrogrades, but it can also be useful if you want to know general challeneges that can occur during transit retrogrades also!

𝒊𝒊𝒊. 𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒅𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒆𝒕𝒔

𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐘

this retrograde is what's most known when people talk about retrogrades. with this planet in retrograde natally, you could find it hard to communicate with others. this could be in that you have a stutter, or you could be too harsh or too passive when addressing others (depending on the sign). you could be too impulsive in your actions, or you could overthink and inhibit yourself from taking charge in your life. i could also see people with this planet in retrograde finding it hard to write and learn new languages.

𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐒

you could find it hard to fall in love and/or to find, be in, and maintain relationships of any kind - but especially romantic ones; it could take a long time for you to start dating compared to others. this planet in retrograde can also make it hard for people to develop and sustain self-love and self-attraction. you may not see yourself as handsome or beautiful and/or others may look down on you or ignore you because of your looks. this is another planet that could make it hard to get along with people because venus is also associated with harmony overall, but the issues with beauty and love are more prominent.

𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐒

you could find it hard to bring your drive and passion to the surface. you could find it hard to be self-motivated and may prefer to take things slow throughout life and see how things pan out versus taking control. if you know the musical hamilton, you could be similar to aaron burr in waiting for things to happen to or for you versus making things happen. i could see natal mars retrograde manifesting as someone being asexual and/or having a low libido. you could have issues with bottling up anger, creating anger issues; if underdeveloped, i could see this leading to self-harm or other violent tendencies - this is not absolute

𝐉𝐔𝐏𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐑

it could be hard for you to recognize your luck and/or you may feel as if you have no luck even if you actually do. this is a "the glass is half empty" type of placement. you might have taboo beliefs, and people may make you feel as if you’re weird or wrong for them. although people may make you feel that way, your belief system may still be strong depending on your jupiter sign. there's a possibility of not being fit for tradtional higher education. you may feel like you have to create your own luck and could have trouble trusting the universe and your guides to provide for you.

𝐒𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍

you could be too harsh on yourself when it comes to having structure. you may burden yourself with responsibilities no one else is giving or expecting of you. you may put more boundaries and limitations on yourself than is naturally expected of you. i could see this placement manifesting as asceticism in some people. you might feel like people never live up to your expectations, or they always let you down, so you only trust yourself to get things done. with this placement, there's an emphasis on self-motivation and high ambition.

𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐔𝐒

it could be hard for you to express your individuality outwardly. maybe you’re too worried about how much you’ll stand out amongst others, and so you try to fit in with the majority instead of recognizing how different you can be. you may be more cautious about expressing your rebelling views. you could be more focused on individuality on a more personal level versus on a societal one. in the case of rebellion and innovation, you may feel the need to rebel against yourself and ideas you put on yourself versus ideas society puts on you.

𝐍𝐄𝐏𝐓𝐔𝐍𝐄

your dreams could be more intense and grandiose than other people's dreams are - this could be in visual dreams you get while sleeping and/or in terms of life goals. you could be deeply spiritual and in tune with your intuition; you might even be able to predict when things will happen to you, or you could get deja vu often. you could overly daydream when it comes to personal goals and ideals; you might use daydreaming and other forms of escapism as a way to constantly ignore everyday life. the idea of realism could be foreign to you.

𝐏𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐎

you may go through life transformations regularly. you could change your appearance often, or explore different religions all throughout your life, or your beliefs could change drastically as you get older. you could have strong power over yourself and possibly others - even unkowingly. you could find comfort in traditionally taboo things, espeically the occult and/or horror and things of that nature. in addition to constantly going through transformations, you could have fond memories of the past and have a deep connection to the concept of nostalgia. you could constantly look to the past in order to change who you are in the present or future.

Astro observation (Retrograde Planets edition) 

♱Master list

How to find if you have retrograde planets?

Go to astro sites like (___) and (___)

2. There, you can see the simply sign like this: (R) or (Rx)

B. Why do you need to know what retrograde planets you have? 

For self-awareness, dear. Life involves a long life journey and learning. Having retrograde planets makes you powerful, depending on whether you use them in a very good way. It is not exactly as bad, especially if we are going to talk about the relationship between each planet and transit. Being aware of your "weakness" comes with challenges and opportunities for (y)our growth. With that, You will able to see a multifaceted interpretation and perspective especially in life . This is also key to balance your life and correct what is needed to be correct, or at least make it better.

Retrograde Mars Perceived themselves as incompetent, and not strong enough to handle things even that is a small task/s.

Retrograde Venus Think about themselves as being undesirable  and unattractive. They also often feel they don't deserve any kind of relationship, being loved, and to be desired by someone.

Retrograde Mercury Often blame themselves for having inconsistent speech movements whether verbal or not, or have a different vocabulary.   

Retrograde Pluto Afraid to admit  their wrong(they always strive for being right), runs away from their responsibility, and to show they are vulnerable as any human being. Losing identity and freedom is their trauma.

 Retrograde Jupiter Seeing themselves us unlucky person just because of negative events due to their own actions. They often think they don't need to work on something.

 Retrograde Neptune serves as reality check for you. AGAIN, IT IS NOT REALLY BAD AS LIKE WHAT MAJORITY STATED HERE. Having Neptune depends on what signs or planets associated! because you often found yourself hidden, or making some illusions related to that house or zodiac signs. For example neptune in 1st house, you tend to fake your identity just to be accepted by society. More on, it tells you how to break that stigma.

Retrograde Uranus Afraid to show what else they can do and considered themselves as bad at skilling. And they only brings chaos.

Retrograde Saturn In astrology, this is the lord of karma. These people are the lovers of pleasure. They use s°x or ppl to get things and sometimes their body. People who have no control and limitations, wants to why and how; right here as it said doesn't believe in any goods and God. "Their way is only way."

Again, there is no single interpretation what you see right here is based upon my generalized and personalized readings. All rights reserved to @cleapallea

neptune retrograde at 29 degrees, 55', 55'' pisces

occurs trine mercury

yes, there will be messages from beyond. beyond where? who can say? your dreams, the veil, whispers from ancestors or descendants or your holy guardian angel. just be listening. this is almost as far into pisces as neptune could be without tipping into aries. that ingress occurs next year. but this very critical, tense point gives many omens as to what is to come on both personal and global levels. nothing is too "out there" to pay attention to.

meanwhile, these messages are likely to get distorted if you have gone too far into a substance abuse spiral. be very careful under any influences or, really, just stay sober in every sense of the word. it's surreal enough out there.

[scorp-simran]

Harry potter zodiac

In my unpopular opinion, Aquarius is Harry who always breaks the rules in Hogwarts. A revolutionary leader with a strong sense of justice.

Libra is the yule ball celebration- finding a date, being social, and expressing feelings, all match with the theme of libra.

Taurus is Beauxbatons magical dance in the great hall. The melody, fluttering blue butterflies, and elegant aqua uniform... make the guys swoon at their feminine grace.

Cancer is the moment of Cho and Harry's kiss, and then Cho cries because she feels guilty.

Studious, toffee-nosed, always attentive in class- Hermione is Virgo.

Pisces is Luna lovegood- dreamy and most likely to believe in anything without proof. Jo called her "anti-hermione"... quite opposite of virgo you see.

Albus Dumbledore was an evolved Leo who led with wisdom. He stepped in to help when it mattered the most and never really cared for any spotlight. He empowered Harry and made him realise his potential as a leader which is a true sign of leadership.

Sagittarius is the triwizard tournament. Here lies the battlefield, adventure and discovery.

Capricorn is Snape, who was constantly vilified for being a death eater, but all he did was protect Harry.

Aries is spontaneously played Quidditch. Aries is being impulsive, competitive and fast paced.

Scorpio is the overall essence of the movie... the forbidden forest, basilisk, the chamber of secrets, revenge, and sorcery.

Gemini is the hogwarts library. Gemini, ruled by mercury is information. It is also the room of requirement.

Personal planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars) tend to have more noticeable effects in daily life.

Outer planet retrogrades (Jupiter through Pluto) often bring more subtle, long-term changes.

Your birth chart might have retrograde planets - these influence your personality uniquely!

💡 Pro Tip: Check which house in your natal chart the retrograde is happening in. This shows which area of life will be most affected!

🌈 Retrograde Survival Guide:

Don't panic! Retrogrades are natural cycles.

Use the energy for introspection and review.

Be patient with delays and miscommunications.

Avoid starting major new projects if possible.

Double-check important documents and communications.

Take time for self-care and reflection.

🤔 Food for Thought:

How have you experienced retrogrades in your life?

Do you notice differences between various planetary retrogrades?

Any personal stories of retrograde challenges or breakthroughs?

Remember, retrogrades aren't cosmic curses - they're opportunities for growth and realignment. Embrace the backward dance of the planets and see where it leads you! 🌠💃

Planets retrograde

Notes and tips

Credit @moonastrogirl

Despite whatever people say about planets retrograde and the karma they carry, planets retrograde can be a blessing in disguise in a birth chart and they can even hold more power and energy than direct planets once the natives have figured out how to manage the energy of their retrograde in a new and innovative way.

These planets also carry a different energy than when they are direct. The energy is turned inward and it’s up to each individual to bring that energy outward based on their own individuality and perception of life.

Mercury retrograde people communicate softly and calmly. They don’t know it but people love hearing them talk. They are mesmerising people. The energy of their communication is loving and grounded. Their mind is also innovative and they have a genius like quality to them. The key to unlock their true potential is to not take anything personally and be appreciative of how their mind works.

Mars retrograde natives have a hard time expressing their mars energy because they actually need to find a new way of expressing it. How ? By just being themselves and trying out different and innovative ways of being assertive. Once they do find their solution, their combative and competitive side is unstoppable. Native with direct mars can never be as assertive as a mars retrograde natives who have master this energy.

Some planets are even better when they are retrograde, especially Saturn and Pluto because they carry less karma over time.

The native with Saturn retrograde will experience most of their karma in their early years then they will be an unstoppable force that can make anything happen. They will be limitless over time compared to Saturn direct natives who will face more karma as they grow older. Saturn retrograde natives also work hard even harder than Saturn direct people, they exhaust themselves but their actions will be rewarded no matter what they do over time. They have a lot on their plate but they will receive anything they ask for and even more as they grow older. Karma will truly be on their side after they turn 30. Their lessons are to learn time and ressources management. Once they do learn those two lessons, it’s only up from there for them.

For Pluto retrograde, their transformations happen inward, they don’t let people be consumed by their intensity and they rather bring out a positive energy around them than a chaotic one. It’s actually easier to be around a Pluto retrograde dominant person than a Pluto direct dominant person. The energy is less heavy. The lesson to learn is to unleash some of that intensity outward when it is necessary because people can take advantage of the fact that they prefer surrounding themselves with positive energy. It’s great for them to remember that unleashing some of their demons can actually be useful to them. In a protective way of course. Not really to harm others.

Jupiter retrograde people have a different way of claiming abundance and luck. Once they understand that they need to travel more, meet more people from different backgrounds to unlock their potential, their true nature comes out and all their manifestations become reality. They can become master manifestors.

Astrology indicators of fame *disclaimer* You would need to have at least 3-4 or more of these in order for it to be very applicable. If you have a lot of these in your chart it doesn’t mean you will be famous, just that there is ENDLESS room and opportunity for that to happen for you, you just need the right mindset

1. Let’s start with the obvious, Neptune in the 1st, on the ascendant, in the 5th, 10th house or aspecting the 10th house ruler

2. This is a very popular opinion held by most astrologers but the MCs Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius cause the most fame. Leo Mc is just fame in general, you’re the sun everywhere you go Scorpio Mc is fame in the extremes, both love and hate being in the extremes, cult like following, being a sex symbol,(Megan fox and Zendaya have this) Aquarius MC is being THEE trendsetter, the ultimate influencer

3. One that I think more people need to talk about; having your chart ruler in the 5th, 10th or 11th house. Wherever your chart ruler is at is where there’s a lot of focus and whatever you focus on In your life is going to provide results. 5th house deals a lot with creative pursuits and entertainment, the 10th house deals with the public and the 11th house deals with the masses, the internet and fans

4. Another one that doesn’t get talked about enough; having your POF in the 5th, 10th or 11th house, its ruler in those houses or having your POF conjunct Venus, Jupiter or Neptune

5. Having personal planets in ALL houses 1st, 7th, 10th and 11th, planets in these houses play out more in the material world. When planets are evenly distributed in these houses it makes a person extremely powerful and destined for success. If both venus and Jupiter are in any of these houses together or individually, recognition from people is extremely favorable for you. It doesn’t even have to be fame you just might become very recognizable in the community you’re in.

6. Having planets, houses or points at Leo degrees 5, 17, 29. Marilyn Monroe had her Lilith in Leo at 29 degrees

7. Personal planets in Leo or Pisces. This needs no explanations as Leo and Pisces both rule creative expression

8. A very obvious one too; having your Jupiter sign in Leo, Pisces or Sagittarius

9. Fama asteroid in Leo, Pisces, Taurus, Libra, Sagittarius or in aspect to Venus, Jupiter, the Sun or Neptune (you have a much easier time manifesting fame)

10. Mars or Venus in aspect to Jupiter especially in Leo or Sagittarius. I say this because I find these aspects commonly in the charts of athletes and models. Mars for a man, Venus for a woman. Mars-Jupiter can mean becoming an athlete or being a famous sex symbol/actor (Tom Ellis, Chris evans, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Chris hemsworth) all have the trine/sextile just to name a few and Venus-Jupiter can mean becoming famous for your beauty/looks or relationships

[black-lake]

We’re seeing so many people receive their karma and it’s satisfying to watch. I love to see justice being served. I love witnessing horrible people fall from grace. I admire those who god uses to bring about justice. 

Some transits at play - saturn retrograde, neptune 29° retrograde, pluto retrograde.

[sagstelliums]

What will Neptune retrograde in Pisces bring to you? (PAC)

Pile 1

I see that you may focusing alot on your career/goals, I see you going to a family gathering or spending time with your family and enjoying yourself. I see you becoming more spiritually aware or your intuition increasing, I see that you may get constructive criticism and you should take it. I see that you should beware of a feminine energy that’s sneaky or that’s trying to work against you. Signs-Aries/cancer. Initials- O, R, B

Pile 2

I see that during this retrograde you may feel extra lucky but things may also feel chaotic after dealing with a chain of events, I see that you may distance yourself from someone in your love life or with someone you’re close with especially if they’re older than you. I see you overcoming a major obstacle with hard work and effort, I see you trusting your intuition more. I see you getting a position of authority or you getting more recognition/respect, I see your health improving and your love life may not go the way you want it but you’ll be happy about your other areas of life. Signs- Leo, Virgo. Initials- J, G, Y, I, S, Q

Pile 3

I see that you’ll feel lucky after dealing with stagnation and frustration, I see you having a reconciliation with someone (family member?). I see you something you wished for regarding your family will come true, using your intuition to guide you will make a change or improve you/your life. Signs- libra/cancer. Initials- Y, O, M

How to handle Planetary rx?

With the exception of the Luminaries (Sun &Moon), here's how to handle each planet's rx with one simple hack:

Pluto rx: Give-up control, be okay with chaos.

July 2024 Important Dates

AKA my notes on The Astrology Podcast's July Forecast, hosted by Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock. We're going into this month right off of Saturn stationing retrograde on June 29th, and Neptune following suit on July 2nd.

June Recap: June was heavily influenced by the activity in Gemini, including a Venus cazimi and a stellium with other fast planets. The second half of the month felt heavy influence from Saturn finally getting within conjunction distance (10 degrees) of Neptune in Pisces. Right after the Venus cazimi on June 3rd, Claudia Sheinbaum was elected president of Mexico. Aside from Venus's association with women, the indigenous astrology of Mexico is also based on Venus cazimi cycles. Another Venus story is the launch of the Boeing Starliner--last month our hosts looked at the electional chart for its planned launch and noted that Mercury conjunct Uranus boded ill--and indeed an electrical problem caused them to postpone the launch until June 5th, when the Moon was in Gemini (with 4 other planets). However, with a Leo rising its chart ruler the Sun was separating from Venus and approaching a square with Saturn, and indeed there have been delays with bringing the astronauts back.

On the day of the Mars-Pluto square Hunter Biden was convicted on gun charges. A similar Mars transit showed up in politics with Donald Trump's conviction in May: Trump was convicted with Mars squaring his natal Saturn (ruler of the year for him), in the 9th and 12th houses respectively, fitting for a trial (9th house) over keeping secrets (12th house). There was also a Mercury-Uranus conjunction on his Midheaven (sudden development in public life), and on the July 11th, the day of his sentencing, the Mars-Uranus conjunction will be on his Midheaven. In Hunter Biden's case, Mars conjoined his natal Saturn, when he was convicted of illegally buying guns while under the influence. Saturn was also transiting his Midheaven, and with the North Node there natally it can indicate ill or shadowy reputation (A/N: in Pisces it also fits that he's known for his excessive drug use).

The second half of the month was dominated by a Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Pisces. A new AI video generator was released and saw an explosion of use, including animating still images. It's becoming increasingly difficult to determine what's real and what's an illusion--though in June with many planets in Gemini, we saw a lot of play with this technology.

The final news story this month is the US presidential debate, which occurred within 24 hours of Saturn stationing retrograde in Pisces--a debate between the two oldest presidential candidates in US history. Biden did horribly during the debate, and Saturn's subsequent station occurred right on Biden's Imum Coeli; during the debate the Moon was conjunct Saturn as both approached this point. At the same time, Uranus was transiting Trump's Midheaven while sextiling his natal Venus (ruler of his 10th house), and he did unexpectedly well in this debate for someone who doesn't care about telling the truth in public speaking. With Saturn generally, this debate has risen pressing questions around age and fitness for public office. Speaking of debate timings, Ronald Reagan's astrologer Joan Quigley would schedule debates for times that were good for Reagan and bad for Carter...and indeed this debate is scheduled unusually--it's much earlier than usual. The next debate is scheduled for the Pisces eclipse in September, in Biden's 4th house/Kamala's 10th house (A/N: Trump's 8th; not angular). Back in the year ahead forecast, Chris said there were three big factors in favor of Trump and one in Biden's favor: that eclipse in an angular house. However, the 4th house is also associated with endings (due to being located underground), and considering recent events, could bode ill for the aged president. (A/N: there's also speculation that Biden was experiencing a dementia symptom known as "sundowning" during the debate, and the 4th house is located deepest beneath the earth)

July Forecast:

The main energies this month will be Saturn-Neptune in Pisces as both planets station early in the month, Mars conjoining Uranus, the Capricorn Full Moon in the 21st, and Mercury-Mars tensions as they almost reach a square.

July 2nd - Neptune Retrograde, Mercury enters Leo Neptune-Saturn confusion has been present for us for a week or so already. We're having a difficult time predicting what events mean for the future. Other significations are the line between illusions and reality, idealism vs. limitations, disillusionment or disappointment when dreams collapse, confusion, fatigue or sapping of one's emotional energy, lack of mental acuity, side effects of age leaving to lack of clarity or focus. Whatever age you're at, you may feel the physical effects catching up to you as the conjunction approaches. Austin brings up that superhero movies have just about run their course (Iron Man was released in 2011 as Neptune first entered the sign), and now we're collectively tired of imagining this genre as Neptune gets within 4 minutes of the next sign. Saturn nearby adds an extra level of negation. With AI tools, boundaries are dissolved and new methods for creativity are being introduced as we gear up for Neptune/Saturn in Aries--expect to see new genres. Other Saturn-Neptune keywords include escapism, addiction, sensitivity and compassion. Chris also notes seeing tensions between science and religion or skepticism and belief: large numbers of people, including conservative influencers, are converting to Christianity at the same time as scientific skepticism rises--and astrologers may find ourselves on the negative end of both. Anyone with significant placements at 27-29 Pisces or other mutable signs should pay attention. A Neptune-Mercury trine softens communications; it's a good time for heartfelt conversations.

As soon as Mercury enters Leo it puts him in opposition distance to Pluto, foreshadowing the rest of the inner planets doing so later this month. Paranoia, power plays, and manipulation abound, though investigative journalism and hidden truths can come to light. However, Mercury moves closely into a happy sextile with Jupiter soon after.

July 2nd - Selected Elections for the month (not pictured) This month Chris has two elections, both on the 2nd, to try and take advantage of the Jupiter-Moon conjunction before Mars and Uranus start to complicate things.

The first chart is at about 1:00PM local time so that the Ascendant trines Jupiter in the 9th house, the Moon is applying to a conjunction with Jupiter, and the Ascendant ruler Venus in Cancer is in the 10th house, forming a trine with Saturn. The flowing, nurturing energy in Cancer and Pisces is highlighted in this chart (see New Moon for more). The downside is that you bake the Mercury-Pluto opposition into things, so beware of paranoia in communications.

The other variant of this chart is later in the day with Sagittarius rising:

At about 5:30PM local time, this gives you Jupiter in the whole sign 7th house in a day chart with the Moon still applying to a conjunction. This one is oriented more towards other people. These are much different than the electional charts earlier this year where he encouraged us to take advantage of the stellia; now we're entering more challenging territory.

July 5th - New Moon in Cancer

Both luminaries (14♋) apply to a trine with Saturn (19♓) soon after, while Venus (22♋) is within a loose conjunction of them in Cancer. Meanwhile, Mercury (5♌) sextiles Jupiter (9♊) in Gemini with reception (Jupiter is in Mercury's sign). Saturn's trine is constructive, helping us figure out how to work within our limitations and distribute our burdens more evenly. With Venus and Cancer there brings a connotation of caring for and nurturing something that can't survive without you like a child, pet, or house plant. And with care, duty is not far behind. Think sweet and compassionate. Mercury sextile Jupiter on the 8th will continue some of these good vibes for us.

July 11th - Venus enters Leo Venus is getting further from the Sun and begins to rise more and more visibly as the month progresses. When she's fully out from under the beams, we can finally see the results of work that was hidden while she was close to the Sun. We'll also see a return of themes from the Venus retrograde in Leo last year, but it's different for two reasons: 1) Venus is traveling direct and very fast through the sign, and 2) Pluto in Aquarius opposes her immediately upon ingress on the 11th-12th. Venus in Leo's fun-in-the-sun vibe is marred by shadow for the first few days. Significations include interpersonal paranoia, power plays in relationships and (my addition:) issues of control regarding women. In happier news she (12♌) will sextile Jupiter (12♊) on the 21st right in time for the next lunation, at the same degree where she stationed last year. Jupiter will assuage harsh Pluto aspects for planets transiting Leo this month.

July 15th - Mars conjunct Uranus This occurs on the 14th-15th at 26 Taurus, tightly conjunct the fixed star Algol. Mars-Uranus is already quite volatile, with Mars going fast and Uranus shocking or igniting it. Think accidents (warehouse explosions, for example), interpersonally "exploding," and in wolrd affairs violence such as wars. The US dropped atomic bombs on Japan under Mars-Uranus, and has the signature in its natal chart. This already volatile configuration is conjunct malefic star Algol, known as the head of Medusa, in Chinese astrology as the entrance to the Mansion of Corpses, and in Arabic as Ra's al-Ghul ("head of the monster"), from which we get the word "ghoul." Historically Algol coincides with terrible events, for example the bombing of Guérnica. Austin predicts that most personal lives will be unaffected, but that something atrocious will happen in one of the active conflicts going on right now (though hopes he's wrong about it). Algol also figures strongly into the British royal family, the chart of the European Union, and the modern state of Israel. The Republican National Convention will also begin under this inauspicious alignment. July 16th sees the Moon lighting up all this activity, so it's an inadvisable time to start new ventures.

More generally, Mars-Uranus brings sudden upheavals, rebelliousness, challenging the status quo, impulsiveness, unpredictable behavior & acting on whims, and a strong drive for freedom and independence--for example, the January 6 capital debacle happened right as Mars entered Taurus and began approaching conjunction to Uranus. On the positive side, this can indicate starting new adventures and innovative ideas. Mars and Uranus are both antisocial, so it's advisable to strike out on your own, even just for a few days, instead of trying to get everyone else on board or fighting over different directions. Fierce individualism abounds, though Mars-Uranus can also be quirky and spontaneous--Robin Williams had this aspect in Cancer. Thankfully, Mars leaves Taurus about a week later, leaving Algol's intensity behind.

July 20th - Mars enters Gemini In a new sign, Mars is headed for a conjunction with Jupiter in mid-August, though he'll square Saturn almost immediately after. Funnily enough, that's when the Democratic National Convention takes place--which we already know is going to be a mess. Austin points out the Jupiter-Mars conjunction will be at 16 Gemini, the same degree that Venus conjoined the Sun in June, connecting those events. Mars-Jupiter can be heroic and overcoming...but that requires something to heroically overcome. The lunation really kicks things off:

July 21st - Full Moon in Capricorn

A lot of different aspects are happening at once here. The Moon and Sun oppose each other at 29 degrees of Capricorn and Cancer respectively, with the Moon immediately moving towards a sextile with Neptune (29♓), and then conjoining Pluto (0♒) upon her egress from Capricorn. We'll see an immediate shift in tone with news stories foreshadowing the next month of Mars in Gemini. Mars is, by degree, in exact contra-antiscia to the Moon here. Meanwhile, Venus (12♌) sextiles Jupiter (12♊), so positive things are happening at the same time as this tense lunation. However, Merucry (26♌) squares Uranus (26♉), bringing tensions in communication. This will be one of the more memorable days of the month--ongoing negative developments will rear their heads, some nice things will happen, some unexpected things will happen, and the next day the Sun enters Leo, opposing Pluto in Aquarius.

July 22nd - Sun enters Leo Leo season starts off with the Sun opposing Pluto. For the next 20 years, every time the Sun enters Leo, it will oppose Pluto. The Pluto in Leo generation (mid-40s to 1959; Baby Boomers) will feel Pluto's opposition especially strongly, and the dozens of countries created right after WW2 have Saturn conjunct Pluto in Leo in their charts. We'll see what survives this 20 years and what fades away into history as Pluto opposes all that was built when it was 180 degrees away. Chris brings up that generationally Pluto in Leos may be resisting handing off the reins or trying to seize power back when they're past their prime. Austin brings up the accelaration of celebrity culture as a great distraction from those who are actually powerful during Pluto in Leo....maybe we'll get sick of it over the following decades. In other fixed signs, transiting Pluto now squares natal Pluto for Millennials (Pluto in Sagittarius), who are now having to wrestle with beginning to really age in their 40s.

July 25th - Mercury enters Virgo Communications become more direct and quick with Mars in Mercury's sign, but Mercury is going to retrograde close to a square with Mars at the end of the month, so we may expect some miscommunications, misunderstandings, and sharp words. Swift, smart, clever, and cool. Things may get argumentative and contentious.

By the end of the month, retrograde Saturn (18♓Rx) is moving into square distance from Jupiter (14♊), who will in turn square Neptune later--a signature that brought inflation recently. Saturn is trying to rein in Jupiter, who expands Neptune's dissolution of boundaries. Mars in Gemini further aggravates things. July leaves us on a bit of a cliffhanger.

Divine timing in 2024

I've been reflecting on 2024, and so far, all I can feel is gratitude for what didn't work out & what was delayed because I couldn't deal with my father's passing otherwise.

I'm grateful that my new job fell through and that I was able to return to my original employer of 11 years because there's no way that I can deal with this while at the other place.

I'm glad that 9 months of training for a promotion that meant to commence in July was pushed back to October. The extra money can wait.

I'm even grateful for the stressful events at work that had me undertaking unwitting acts of devotion for Apollo, Ares & Hermes because that allowed me to compartmentalise until yesterday.

Now I'll be taking a week off as bereavement & compassionate leave the week before 4 weeks annual leave, back at work October 8th.

I'm grateful for Apollo making me speed run years worth of growth & lessons over the past 2 months to make room for the shadow work and deep healing to come.

I'm grateful to have reconnected with an ex lover from high school just over a week ago after I underwent some shadow work on my childhood trauma because they've just been so incredibly loving and supportive.

I'm grateful for all the delays and cancellations in life because I've always been exactly where I need to be when I need to be there my entire life.

So whenever things are paused or pushed back I breathe, preparing myself for what's coming.

That said, this Neptune + Saturn + Mercury Retrograde August has been a fucking brutal growth catalyst.

neptune direct at 24 pisces

wherever this degree falls in your personal astrology, something shifts, even if it's on some ethereal invisible plane of existence. maybe a revelation occurs to you in a dream or you experience a flash of true enlightenment. but don't live too long in this realm; you're not delusional but people may think you are and this can have solid real world effects

Sun in Cancer ♋️🌊 Moon in Cancer ♋️🌊 and Leo ♌️🔥

Love is in the air with the Moon whispering sweet nothings into Venus’ ear today. These two are hanging out together in the sign of Cancer providing a loving energy, having us feeling beautiful and more sexually attractive than usual. We are feeling more sensitive and attentive to the needs of others. Now before that energy fully arrives and you’re not feeling the love, that’s because you may still be under the influence of the argument (square) Venus had with Chiron yesterday that is still lurking this today. This will fade as the day goes on.

There’s a bit of a love triangle going on as well with the Moon, the Sun and Venus still in a trine with Saturn in Pisces which is all good energy providing patience and emotional strength. It’s a beautiful time for long lasting relationships, bonding, and a strong sense of duty towards those you love.

Late tonight, the moon enters Leo to get the party started. The Leo Moon always asks that we lighten up and have some fun. Unfortunately, Pluto shows up as the party pooper in an opposition to the Leo Moon bringing in inner turmoil or relationship drama. You could be feeling confident and sexy in one moment and the next, be feeling down right depressed. Your sense of emotional security gets thrown right out the window. This transit can really show people’s true nature so pay close attention. Be extra aware of intense experiences that may occur. The good news is, this could all get balanced out by Neptune in a trine with the Leo Moon bringing in idealistic and dreamy energy. Just be careful not to ignore or overlook the signs or red flags in people.

Overall it’s a beautiful day for love and some light hearted fun. Just make sure you’re keeping your emotions in check so you don’t ruin the party for everyone.
