First of all, thank you for your kind words! <3 I am glad you find the series useful - it's genuinely my honor to share my astrological knowledge. The topic of retrograde planets is indeed fascinating and can be crucial in understanding your chart's deeper dynamics. Let's delve into it step by step.

✽ Understanding Retrograde planets ✽

What is a Retrograde planet?

In astrology, the word retrograde describes a planet that appears to move backward in the sky from our perspective on Earth. Let me emphasize: the planet isn't actually moving backward - it's an optical illusion. This happens because Earth and the other planets are orbiting the Sun at different speeds.

Example: Imagine you are in a car driving past another car on the highway. For a moment, it can look like the other car is moving backward, even though it is still going forward. Retrograde motion is similar - it's just a shift in perspective.

Why is Retrograde important in astrology?

Astrologically, retrograde planets act differently than planets in their normal (direct) motion. Think of a planet in retrograde as if it is on a cosmic "pause" or "rewind" mode. Instead of moving full speed ahead, a planet's energy turns inward, slowing things down and encouraging reflection, revisiting, and rethinking areas of life it rules.

What does a Retrograde planet mean in your birth chart?

If a planet was retrograde at the time of your birth, its energy becomes more personal and internalized. You might experience the themes of that planet in a unique, non-traditional way, or they may require more effort to express outwardly. Retrograde planets in a birth chart often carry karmic lessons - indicating unfinished business or growth opportunities from past lives.

Let's clear up some misconceptions about Retrogrades:

Retrograde isn't "bad" or unlucky: Many people fear retrogrades, thinking they bring chaos or misfortune. This is not true. Retrogrades are simply periods of reflection and adjustment. If you work with their energy, they can be incredibly transformative.

Retrograde doesn't cancel a planet's power: A Retrograde planet isn't weak or powerless. Instead, it works in a more internal or unconventional way. Often, retrograde planets can lead to deep self-discovery and mastery.

(Transit) Not all retrogrades affect you equally: Whether a retrograde will significantly impact your life depends on how it interacts with your personal birth chart. For instance, Mercury retrograde might not bother you unless it is touching important points in your chart.

--> Also, imagine you are planning a trip during Mercury Retrograde. People might warn you that everything will go wrong, but the truth is simpler: you may encounter delays or need to double-check details. If you take precautions - like confirming reservations or leaving extra time - you will likely have a smooth journey. Retrogrades ask us to pay attention and not rush!

So, what does it mean when a planet is retrograde in a natal chart?

When a planet is retrograde in your natal chart, it represents a unique and deeply personal journey of growth, learning, and transformation. Its energy operates differently than that of a direct-moving planet. Instead of naturally flowing outward into the external world, the planet's influence turns inward, encouraging reflection, self-discovery, and refinement.

Think of a natal retrograde as a mentor who insists on deeper understanding and inner mastery. It is like being enrolled in an advanced course on the themes represented by that planet, often with karmic undertones.

The Essence of Natal Retrogrades:

Inward Energy: Retrograde planets in a natal chart encourage introspection. The energy of the planet doesn't express itself as straightforwardly as it would in a direct state. Instead, it becomes an internal process. This can make it seem "delayed" or "different" in outward expression.

Past-life Karma: Retrograde planets often signify unresolved lessens or unfinished business from past lives. The themes associated with the planet may feel familiar yet challenging, as if your soul has chosen to revisit these areas for growth and mastery.

Delayed development: Early in life, the energy of a retrograde planet may feel blocked or awkward. For instance, a retrograde Mercury might cause communication struggles, or a retrograde Saturn could bring insecurity about discipline and responsibility. However, as you mature and engage in self-reflection, the retrograde planet's gift often unfold in profound ways.

Non-traditional expressions: The way a retrograde planet expresses itself may not align with societal norms. This can make you feel "different" or out of sync with others in areas of life connected to the planet. For example, a retrograde Venus might mean unconventional ideas about love, beauty, or relationships.

Spiritual and personal growth: Retrograde planets are powerful tools for transformation. They encourage deeper understanding, pushing you to go beyond surface-level experiences. By working with their energy, you can unlock unique strengths and achieve lasting spiritual growth.

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.

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.

♇ 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.

🌡~My take on scorpio placements ~

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

☆ scorpio in the 7th house- usually get cheated on by their partners. Go through Toxic/ narcissistic partners at some point in their lives. 3rd party situations. Partners lying and deceiving you.

☆ scorpio mars- usually center of attention (attention grabber not seeker). Females with this placement tend to attract jealously from their so called friends or just other people in general. Men tends to sexualize them alot, May have spread rumors about them at some point.

Men with this placement, if underdeveloped, tends to be toxic af. The need to control everyone and everything around them is just awful. Fuck around a lot. Sleeping with different different people.

If developed, good achievers. Very strategic mindset. Usually get what they want in life. Bulletproof mindset. Very good at talking to people but still maintaining boundaries. Loyal.

☆scorpio suns- idk why and how, but when people get to know that someone is a scorpio, they get weirdly attracted to them??? Like staring at them, wanting to know them. Intimidated by them.

☆scorpio sun/moons- have a good sense of humour. They can make anyone laugh. And with this, they tend to attract alot of people who wants to be in a relationship with them.

☆scorpio venus- won't say a loyal lover HOWEVER when they love love, they are loyal 100%. Underdeveloped can lie about being in love.

☆retrograde scorpio venus- feels unlovable. Extreme trust issues. Highly sensitive. Very very very high on trust. You know how they say scorpios take tests? With this placement? Tests x 100. Don't give 2nd chances. It's very very difficult for them to be vulnerable. People have rejected them alot. May have been body shamed or criticised for looks. They feel like they don't deserve to be loved.

☆scorpio stellium in the natal chart- highly intuitive. Usually sees things beforehand. POWER. THE DARKNESS. THE EYES!!! Very beautiful people inside out. However they don't trust easily but if they do, for the love of lord, don't break it cuz you'll be coming back again and again to win them over.

☆scorpio moon- been through some serious shit. Been through hell and back with themselves. They understand people very well. However, they don't get the same understanding in return. They can see right through you so don't f with them. Hate mind games.

☆scorpio rising- very very intimidating. Females with this placement tends to attract jealousy in any form. People want to dominate you so bad. People telling them to tone it down. Basically people don't like your mindset, it triggers them cuz they can't have power over you. Hates 2 faced people. And the irony is, they usually deal with 2 faced people.

☆scorpio lilith- highly seductive. Very attractive. Sex appeal. Feelings run deep for them. Had people who wanted them only for sexual pleasures, wanted to touch them in any way. High vibration scorpio lilith is THE HEALER. also I've seen yall had some near death experiences?? Or witnessed someone dying in front of you.

☆ scorpio mercury- moves in silence. Very strategic and careful. Committed to anything they put their mind into. Always ready to be one on one while fighting. Their way of talking is very intense and mysterious which makes people wanna know how do you think like that. When they say something they really mean it. They take their time. Expects the worst. They figure things out so fast so don't even think of gaslighting them.

☆Scorpio in the 10th house- achievers. From a young age they had an insight of what they will become. Hold power in their work environment. If your a student, your classmates want to steal your notes, they feel envious that you make pretty good notes of whatever you're studying cuz yall go in depth and make pretty good observations of the topics. Authority figures.

☆scorpio in the 5th- gets extreme reactions from people. Ofcourse with any other placements, attracts jealousy. (Bruh I don't get it, what's with the scorpios dealing with alot of jealousy???? Like that's tiring) Grabs attention in parties, get togethers or any form of social gatherings. May have dealt with people wanting to take your partners. May have overly strict parents or very fucked up family issues.

That's it for now🫶🏻

RETROGRADE PLANETS IN NATAL CHARTS.

NOTE: PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS. HENCE, MIGHT NOT BE APPLICABLE FOR EVERYONE. ONLY FOR ENTERTAINMENT. HENCE, DISCRETION IS ADVISED. DO PROVIDE FEEDBACKS, I LOVE IT. :)

MERCURY IN RETROGRADE

If you have mercury in retrograde in your natal chart, you might deal with aversion when it comes to verbal, direct communication. Putting your ideas and thoughts into clear sentences might not be your forte. However, I've read somewhere that people with Mercury Rx, have really good intuition. I can vouch for this since my brother has this in his 11th house, and boy has he saved himself from bad influences countless times purely because he could sense BS right away. People with Mercury Rx, however, possess a unique way of communicating their ideas and thoughts. They don't necessarily use art, but just different words and their brains are often configured differently. They might see logic in things that others can't, and somehow, everything works fine for them. These people also tend to be profound thinkers and internalize their life philosophies instead of using those philosophies for other, unlike forward mercuries. People with forward mercuries-even the ones with debilitated mercuries use their words and ideas in order to help others. while retrograde mercuries wants the betterment of self. Hence, seeing other perspectives can be difficult for them, and finding balance between conscious and callous communication can be hard. Retrograde mercuries have hard-hitting sense of humour which can be the result of unique communication style. Forward mercuries can choose their words carefully, but retrograde mercuries often cannot, for this is their lesson for their present life.

2) VENUS RETROGRADE

I see people with venus in retrograde having issues with their sense of self, which can be seen in their communication style and sense of humour. Overcompensating outwardly for lack of sensing lack of style and panache that forward Venus tend to possess, even the debilitated ones. yet they can't see their own unique flavour which goes against the conventions. A friend whose venus is in retrograde has the wildest love life in my group. Her standards are high, which stemmed from dealing with problematic, almost karmic relationships. There can be confusions regarding one's own opinion about self, likes, dislikes, and there can be a tendency to see oneself through other's judgements. Finance can be a hard to deal with, overspending can be a problem. Their lesson for their present life is to accept themselves the way they are, and love themselves before looking for love and validation elsewhere. The root cause of almost all of their problems is the lack of sense of strong self and self-validation which come first and foremost. That is the only one they can see their own uniqueness, and leverage it for their benefits.

3) MARS RETROGRADE

These people can deal with heavy procrastination, and lacks efforts when it comes to their dreams and goals. There can be a push and pull effect regarding their individuality. A cousin of mine has mars retrograde, and despite having his mars in Scorpio, he loathes adventures, and risks--and you can also add changes. while people with forward mars can be very courageous--even the debilitated ones, although they need immense pressure to make them feel agitated, people with mars retrograde rather suffer in silence than assert themselves. For them, action-orientation, and assertion can be the lessons for their present lives. However, I also think Mars in retrograde can make one very diplomatic and can make the person possess mercurial qualities. That same cousin have debilitated mercury, yet he sounds the most critical and logical among us when we have to fight for our food rights (jokes) against our grandparents. Rather than have a individualistic nature, these people can harness excellent group qualities. They can suffer through sex related traumas.

4) JUPITER RETROGRADE

People with Jupiter in retrograde may be raised with issues regarding self, religion and higher knowledge. Their viewpoints are very different, and may often come off as illogical. They care very cautious when it comes to voicing their opinions. However, they can possess a very twisted kind of luck. Since I have this, I can vouch for this. I may never get what I want, but what I need always finds me, Unlike people with forward Jupiter who may get what they want just like that. my brother has forward Jupiter in Cancer, and I have never seen a person as lucky as him. Brotha is protected by angels and our family. One order, and the whole family scrambles to obey him. While in my case, I just work hard and get the bare minimum, but the things I get always helps me at times. Getting higher knowledge is especially harder for people with Jupiter in Rx, and may deal with confusion regarding the validity of knowledge. People with jupiter in Rx also deal with lack of mentors and teachers needed to shape their personality and inner world, hence they become vagabonds when it comes to knowledge. It is only them they can rely on for a strong sense of self, hence they may go through hard time alone. It is not like they don't look for help, it's just help never comes, but rewards are worth the pain. There's always a tendency to question everything which may lead to paranoia and overthinking. Yet, they are overly self-righteous, causing relationships to falter. Their main lessons are to have faith in them, and build their unique perspectives.

5) SATURN RETROGRADE

People with saturn in retrograde tends to introspect a lot. The limitations they bear are often internalised. they tend to have problems with authority and authoritative figures, such as father and teachers and boss, yet there is a deep sense of responsibility and lack of discipline. I also have saturn retrograde in my natal chart and well, it is a blessing in disguise. to be honest. I do tend to disregard authority, but there were times when I was asked for help by some authoritative figures. Although I have a deep sense of responsibity, I lack the courage, the strategic mind and the general effort I need to fulfil my dreams, which is why this saturn retrograde is proving to be immensely helpful. There is a strong fear of failure, and the person's success is always delayed. Trust me, I know. While I work twice as hard as my friends, I am often the last person to taste any success. Same is happening with job hunt. I have read that this retrograde is strongly related to past life karma, and I think I might be deal with lessons regarding finance and material gain since I have Saturn in Taurus in 2nd house. These people often deal with loneliness, and the lack of communication from their side only add salt to injury.

6) URANUS RETROGRADE

While Uranus deals with rebellion and one's uniqueness, Retrograding Uranus may often lead to these aspects being internalised by the person. There may be a strong sense for rebellion and forging one's own path, but the person may lack the spine to do so--often relying on others to validate their uniqueness. Changes may come like tornados, ruining their very sense of being, and forcing them to refine everything again and again, until there no sense of old self is there. Unlike Pluto, Uranus retrograde often forces the person's outer world, and outer relationships to change. These people have heightened intuition which not only scares the outer world, but also force it to alienate the person. There is a strong need for rejecting tradition which might stop them from becoming the eccentric person they can be. Note, I am not using 'eccentric' in a negative way. I just think, people with Uranus Rx need to learn showcase their eccentric side to the world. so that innovation can be made. There's a huge between one accepting their eccentricity and showing the world who they actually are. If anything, I think Uranus in Rx is one of the best placements one can have for the sheer creativity it can bestow. These people must have been destined to become pioneers, but their fears of outer rejection had stopped them, hence they ended up with Uranus in retrograde in their present life. They are supposed to let go of the fear in order to fulfil their purpose.

7) NEPTUNE RETROGRADE

So, my other brother has mars, Uranus and Neptune in retrograde. And I kid you not, I have never seen someone so eccentric, so prideful yet so fearful, so disillusioned yet so full of himself till date.

For me, Neptune Retrograde is one of the worst placement one can have. This placement is not about the outer world, but breaking oneself to fill the world with happiness. people with Neptune Rx has to go through a whole journey of living in a illusionary world to become disillusioned and hate the real world, only to realise that there's more than pain and suffering in the world and it is not a utopia. these people have heightened intuition, only to never master it. They get fed with escapism illusion by the universe time and time again, for them to learn to exercise their intuition yet the fog in their mind becomes the biggest obstacle. For a long time, these people believe in, "my way or highway" and "all or nothing." Hence, when faced with failure and pain, they crumble and become disillusioned. Once they see the world as it is, they go through the spiritual quest of learning and unlearning the ways of the world. And acceptance of the worldy woes, and understanding that one can never change the ways of the world but the ways of human minds are the lessons these people have to learn. They have to make peace with the fact that there will pain and suffering, and this is what feels like to be humans. They have to learn to avoid escapism, and grab life by the balls and open their arms to the gifts of intuitions, detachment, art and healing.

8) PLUTO RETROGRADE

I see Pluto retrograde as an eagle which keeps gnawing onto one's guts while the person can do nothing but accept the eagle. The pain never goes aways. People with pluto Rx in their chart internalises every thought, every little or big change, causing them to go through intense overthinking and traumatic relationship changes. The world is never these people's friends. If you think having Pluto placements are tough, look at pluto Retrograde people. Another cousin of mine has this. And she is a control freak, with really great psychological insights. There's obssesion with every little thing, and fear of betrayal and others breaking their walls and trusts. These people live an intense karmic life. If they badmouth someone, they get tenfold of it. If they wish someone bad luck, they get ten fold of it. These people must have done something great or something very loathsome which needs heavy penance and great patience. These people are bound to become great. These people are supposed to learn the ways of the world and help change the world, but on a ground level. What I mean by that is, these people need to learn to accept their shadow side in order to help the ones who have lost their paths to attain goodness. I see people with Pluto retrograde as the ones who has to break a piece of themselves in order to fix others, since they constantly get their heart broken, and trust broken, and fears spitting on their faces until they overcome those fears, and they are constantly forced by the universe to bare themselves naked in order for the world to use their vulnerabilities. Yet, these people rise like phoenix, and continue the cycle until they realise that their higher purpose is to have faith in the ways of the universe and let it run its magic. Good things may take time, but are always worth the wait.

NOTE: I SEE RETROGRADES AS BLESSINGS IN DISGUISE. ALTHOUGH RETROGRADE PLANETS MAKE THINGS HARD, AND ALMOST UNATTAINABLE, HARD TIMES MAKE GREAT PEOPLE. THE TWISTS UNIVERSE PLAYS ON PEOPLE WITH NATAL RETROGRADE PLANETS ARE SUPPOSED TO PUSH THESE PEOPLE TO THEIR EDGES UNTIL THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN BE FEARFUL OF. FOR GREAT CHANGES NEED GREATER HANDS.

ALRIGHT, DO LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THIS. AND I WELCOME CRITICISM AND HARD HITTING FEEDBACKS WITH OPEN ARMS. JUST MAKE SURE I DON'T HAVE TO SHOW MY FANGS, TOO. :) I LOVE GATHERING NEW INFORMATION, SO UNTIL THEN, MAY GOD BLESS YOU.

Astro observations p4🪄

🪄People with their Mercury in cancer have such a sweetness to their voices. It’s usually very soft and distinctive

🪄I find that I get along right away with people who’s sun is in my 1st house and that we also share similar views

🪄Saturn in the 7th house individuals need to be extra cautious when it comes to making promises. The 7th house talks about commitments and compromising and marriage obviously is a huge commitment that’s basically a promise. So essentially if they break any sort of promise they made they take on extra karmic baggage for it since they didn’t stay “committed” to the promise they made

🪄12th housers need isolation solely to find who they are again

🪄12th housers are the type of people who were late to school every single morning. This is because the 12th house rules bed pleasures so we find it extra hard to leave our bed compared to like the average person😭

🪄If you know someone with their personal planets in their 12th house (sun, moon, or merc) or with Pisces placements, chances are, you don’t 🤭

🪄8th house ruler in the 12th house experiences the most transformation in their lives when they are alone or maybe through a significant dream they had

🪄7th house ruler in the 1st house means that your future spouse is going to have a major impact on either your physical appearance, your world views, or your overall demeanor. I feel like this is the placement you see in people in relationships online that either gain or lose a bunch of weight with their significant other

🪄When a planet is retrograde, it means that planets’ energy is internalized meaning is repressed and that planet doesn’t help you out in which ever house its in. For example, people with Saturn retrograde in the 5th or 7th house may have a harder time instilling discipline and setting boundaries in their relationships. Some may get attached to others to quickly, not know their worth before getting into a relationship, are prone to love bombing their person, or lack the emotional maturity needed for a healthy relationship

Thanks for reading!!! Lmk what I should talk about next :)

[ 4 ] astrology observations 💚🧩🍀

- virgo risings benefit more from not being in charge as they like to follow things

- jupiter 1st house natives feel suppressed by rules/regulations/common following of philosophies

- uranus rebels to the following of ideals, jupiter rebels to the said ideals

- new best friends come in during the zodiac representing the 7th house (ex: aquarius rising: in leo season)

- venus conjunct lilith causes the native to be unable to differentiate between love & lust.

- people in your life fall in your house where their rising sign is (ex: an aquarius rising would fall into the 5th house of a libra rising & inspire/deplete their creativity or affect their children).

- libra risings & late virgo risings (15° onwards) live by organising & decluttering their psyche (because virgo 12h)

- natives with uranus retrograde in their chart long for the acceptance of change but get horrified & run away from it the moment it manifests.

- natives with sun opposite moon feel afflicted when faced their own character; am i too emotional or too logical? which side of me is the real one?

- the 12th house rules over our memories, not short term everyday ones that is mercury/3H; but in depth memories or visual/photographic ones.

- the sign ruling your 12th house shows how you can interpret your rem dreams: virgo 12H by organising the details of the dreams, aquarius 12H by finding what to innovate in your life through the dreams, sagittarius 12H by gathering a philosophical perspective like what is the lesson i am teaching myself through my unconscious?

[first-saturn-return]

Saturn retrograde in the birth chart indicates that the native has a certain degree of internalization of the principles that the planet represents. This means that you could be more serious or strict than someone born with a direct Saturn in their natal chart.

𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐃𝐄 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐒

◉ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬?

Retrograde placements in astrology can show areas of life where we have more intense energy than non-retrograde placements but find discomfort/struggle to express this energy at the same time. Retrograde energy is energy that’s dialed up but that you also repress

Whether these placements are positive or challenging all depends on your chart not just which placement is retrograde. The sign, aspects to the placement, house it’s in, and degree are all very important to look at

◉ 𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐭 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬

Mercury rx

》 Indicates someone who’s very sharp and intelligent but has a hard time expressing how smart they are. These people often will be misunderstood and may come off as unintelligent when really they just don’t express their intelligence in the right way for people to know they are

》 Struggles to express your ideas, thoughts, and just communicate with others in general

》 Gossiping can be something that holds you back in life. Don’t ever gossip

》 Mercury rules over our speaking/communication/mind so sometimes people with this placement may have some sort of problem in these areas (ex: speech impediment, anxiety, depression, autism, adhd, etc) - I have this placement and struggle with anxiety & adhd

Venus rx

》 You are good at understanding how relationships work and the meaning of love but bad at expressing your love to others. These are the type of people who give amazing relationship advice to their friends yet still seem to struggle with their own love life

》 In general you may struggle in being affectionate to others or being vulnerable even with people that you love

》 Lots of insecurities about being attractive enough for people

》 Insecurities about being accepted. People with this placement tend to be people pleasers

Mars rx

》 These people struggle to express their anger which can lead to lots of confusion in conflict with people. People likely will not understand what you’re upset about ever or understand why you feel angry about certain things

》 People with this placement struggle to take action often and initiate things. They may lack ambition as well

》 People with this placement may struggle with confidence or have a lot of confidence but still will come off as insecure to others

》 These people often fear confronting people/putting their foot down in conflict. They try and steer away from any type of controversy

Jupiter rx

》 This is one of the best retrograde planets to have although it’s stereotyped as the worst. Simply because Jupiter shows external experiences that we enjoy (this could be a huge house, wealth, a fancy car, etc) but with this planet in retrograde it causes you to seek internal things instead because external things don’t bring you as much fulfillment which is why often people with Jupiter rx are very spiritual and aren’t materialistic

》 You’re very observant and wise but struggle to show off your wisdom to others leading them to underestimate you and your intelligence

》 A downside to this placement is you won’t have an abundance of luck in this life. You won’t always be in the right place at the right time or any of that. You’ll have to work a bit harder for success or wealth

Saturn rx

》 You may have a lot of fears in general which can prevent you from coming out of your comfort zone. Often these people isolate themselves in times where their life is challenging which only makes things worse

》 You may struggle with your work ethic. You may be someone that needs a lot more than just motivation to work hard. You need lots of self discipline which you also may struggle with

》 At times you may be irresponsible

》 You may have a distant or absent father figure

Uranus rx

》 These people may be very unique but struggle to accept the unique parts of them out of fear of others not liking them

》 These people may struggle with love due to how independent they are

》 These people are extremely rebellious but are typically very good at hiding it

》 These people struggle with sudden change which can make it very hard for them to adapt to new environments and challenges that come their way

Neptune rx

》 These people may struggle to express themselves creatively (especially through art) but have a lot of creative ideas at the same time

》 These people often struggle with dreaming big and never believe in themselves. They have a lot of self doubt and believe everything is unattainable which is why they also may struggle to manifest things

》 These people may struggle to trust the universe

》 Many people with this placement struggle with drug addiction because Neptune represents escapism and illusions. They will use the quickest escape they can find to get rid of their pain

Pluto rx

》 These people struggle to move on (this can be in any area of life but especially with love/romantic relationships because they love very intensely and have a hard time letting go of people they’ve formed intimate connections with)

》 You likely have a very strong fear of being controlled or manipulated which can cause you to be exactly what you’re afraid of

》 Many people with this placement struggle with addiction since pluto represents obsessions. They may have a very addictive personality and have many challenges in their life because of this

》 You may have a harder time than others (people without this placement) with major transformations in life or dealing with death

[READ] keep in mind venus and mars are the only rare retrogrades. Only about 7% of the population has venus rx and mars goes retrograde about every 2 years

Natal Retrograde Exercises

When a planet is retrograde (RX) in your natal chart it typically indicates an almost "rebellion" against that energy OR struggles with the function of the planet. Some also describe it as a muted or distant energy.

For example Mercury RX may suggest in general difficulties with communication, roadblocks to education, or freely exploring ideas and intellectual curiosities. On top of that is possibly a disconnect, lack of growth, or delayed development with the placement of the planet. E.g. Mercury RX in Aries which is known for being very honest, maybe loud and extroverted, and harsh can actually be more shy, secretive, and tactful and this more boisterous or brave side of Mercury could be suppressed somehow. This suppression could come from events in one's past or life and this DOES NOT mean they won't eventually get in touch with that side of the planet. Venus RX can indicate struggles with getting close and relating to others. Venus in the 8th House typically craves very deep, passionate, and intense relationships but Venus RX in the 8th may shy away from this.

A Natal RX planet can also indicate that the planet's energy and influence is turned inward, making it more of a introspective experience. Mercury RX could actually play a major role in self-awareness in this case. Mars RX could indicate a lot of silent or hidden battles.

Exercises

Below are a few thought experiments you could consider when trying to analyze your natal RX planets.

Consider the signs that are incompatible or opposite of your placement. For example Mercury in Virgo's opposite sign is Pisces or the incompatible signs - Sagittarius and Gemini. Imagine what a Virgo Mercury might be like or feel life if they were forced to operate as the other sign. Mercury in Virgo is detail-oriented, communicative, maybe quick-witted and funny, can be brutally honest, critical, and practical. Whereas Pisces is impractical, highly sensitive, vague or indirect. Sagittarius may be blunt and honest but they can be impulsive, maybe more outgoing than a Virgo Mercury, and is all about the abstract, hypothetical, and big picture. Gemini might share a lot of traits with Virgo but they have their differences with potentially being extroverted, open-minded, and maybe more argumentative. This exercise can help visualize and understand the challenges of the retrograde with communication, intellect, and decision making. This shouldn't be confused with taking on the traits of these other signs, rather it is a thought experiment.

Practice or embrace associations with the planet itself. For example Mars is about competition, taking action, drive, and desire. If your Mars is RX consider entering a competition, taking more initiative, being more athletic, or even dare to be more impulsive. This type of exercise is especially helpful for those who may experience the RX in a more introspective way. 3. Focus on the House and Aspects to the RX planet. Let's say your Venus RX is in Scorpio - a distinct Venus that is known for its passion, depth, intensity, devotion, manipulation, possessiveness, etc. If Venus is in the 6th House which revolves around themes of practicality, the mundane, cooperation, and the more predictable or even "boring" then its expression and involvement is going to be different. That same Venus trine Mercury also indicates a greater closeness to a need for mental connections over emotional ones. Study and really focus on the house and aspects because the house describes the environment the planet is in and the aspect is like a "relationship" between planets and is a direct influence. Doing this will paint a bigger and understanding picture of that planet and can help you maybe "see" or "feel" the planet more. 4. On a more emotional level accept and work through the potential challenges of a planet RX with tools outside of astrology. For example many with Venus RX struggle to accept and express love, Mars RX has challenges with conflict, competition, ambition, or intimacy, Saturn RX can indicate a lot of heaviness within the realm of limitations, lessons learned, and maturity, etc. These challenges have many coping methods, paths to healing, and opportunities outside of astrological practices. Having an RX planet can be helpful in pinpointing a generalized struggle overall in a chart.

Planets in retrograde in natal chart

Planets in retrograde in natal chart and what they mean. Now you need to take into consideration and in which house this planet reside and also what aspects are being made. One thing I may need to clarify in astrology the Moon and the Sun never go into retrograde motion. Some of us have more planets retrograde, others a few and some none of them. When planets are in retrograde in the natal chart, they shouldn't be stigmatized but more to understand where we may face difficulties in some shape or form also, I’ll be talking a bit about karma and the retrogrades in the natal chart. Retrograde planets turn energies inward, leading to a slower external manifestation. Those with retrograde planets tend to deeply contemplate these energies, a trait associated with geniuses and leaders. I may make a different post on the big asteroid in retrograde as well, comment if you want to see that.

Mercury retrograde turns inward, urging revisits and intuitive learning. Born during this, you're bright and adaptive, excelling in communication. Relationships embrace diverse views, but overthinking occurs; seek enriching connections, travel. Those with Mercury retrograde unconsciously access collective wisdom, sometimes facing communication struggles. Finding solace in non-verbal forms like music and art resonates with Mercury retrogrades—imagine musical geniuses. Past-life whispers sway relationships, seeing others as echoes of bygone connections.

Venus retrograde suggests challenges in freely sharing affection due to a sense of emotional scarcity. Life events can be filtered through a longing for love, often internalizing and magnifying hurts in relationships. This may stem from past-life pain, leading to a fear of vulnerability and difficulty fully embracing love. This retrograde can manifest as shyness and fear of intimacy, needing trust, or even as self-centeredness, requiring self-love and healthy affection expression. You possess a passion for pleasure, creativity, and visual arts. Adept in hosting, fashion, decor, and cooking, making everything delightful.

Mars retrograde guides your energy inward, sparking introspection into past moments and affecting how you perceive current connections. Prioritizing spiritual desires may unintentionally overshadow physical well-being; focusing on your holistic growth is important. While intimate experiences might differ due to internalized energy, nurturing, deep bonds can bring forth a more natural expression. Mars retrograde karma hints at efforts to reenact moments from the past, attempting unspoken wishes and sometimes reacting strongly to unmet hopes. Embracing self-assertion and risk-taking, despite challenges, forms a vital part of your journey towards self-discovery and empowerment.

Jupiter retrograde directs expansion inward, fostering profound inner growth, often through spiritual studies. There's a tendency to over-plan, leading to inaction at times. Embracing a spiritual path offers fulfilment, but mundane pursuits might leave you unsatisfied. Deja-vu experiences are common, and you're drawn to guiding others through counselling, teaching, or the law. While generous and hopeful, avoid over-giving or idealizing situations. Late-life marriage or parenthood is possible; be cautious of seeking to "fix" partners.

Saturn acts as a guide through challenges and life lessons, ultimately granting wisdom and compassion. Saturn retrograde signals a chance to revisit life, feeling the weight of two lifetimes simultaneously. Doubts about self-worth and capabilities arise, but you've grown through past struggles. Embracing Saturn's discipline leads to tapping into vast wisdom. Born during this phase, you're diligent, precise, and skilled, yet remember not to be overly critical. In relationships, avoid co-dependency and prioritize healthy boundaries, understanding you're not accountable for others' actions.

Uranus retrograde can make it challenging to fully embrace and express your unique self, sometimes leading to a reconnection with ideas from the past. Feeling a strong responsibility for personal growth, you're a visionary deeply attuned to life's complexities. Your authenticity is precious; it urges you to explore the uncharted and share your ideas, even if they're not easily understood. Karmic ties to family and society can bring struggles, reshaping your unconscious. In relationships, your inner conflicts might create turbulence; focusing on intuitive wisdom over emotional turmoil can guide you. It can lead to a fear of change or a longing for the familiar. Remember, you're not alone in this journey.

With Neptune retrograde in your chart, your imagination is vibrant, leading you to seek solace in dreams. Deep spirituality resides within, though expressing it can be a journey. At times, these struggles could lead you towards challenging paths, such as wrestling with addiction or assuming the role of a martyr. On a brighter note, this retrograde might bestow upon you finely tuned psychic sensitivities, allowing you to glimpse beyond the veil. However, your heightened emotional sensitivity can render you vulnerable to negativity, emphasizing your need for regular solitary moments to rejuvenate and shield your emotional sanctuary.

For those with Pluto retrograde, its transformative force delves deeply within, illuminating your inner world ahead of its outer expression. Past-life psychic abilities are present, meant for positive impact. You sense humanity's struggles within, embracing responsibility for collective awakening. Karmically, you owe humanity from a particular era, repaid through selfless service, offering the chance for profound spiritual growth and liberation from rebirth. Pluto's inner battle involves suppressed anger and control issues, concealing a powerful potential for profound transformation and insight. Handle with care, as betrayals can ignite their intensity.

RETROGRADES | ASTROLOGY OBSERVATIONS

i have observed individuals with retrograde planets in their chart, experience the most rejection in that particular area. You have to, you may, understand that retrogrades ultimate purpose is to ensure you have an OVER-STANDING of yourself and of course, others and life in general. Most people lack self awareness, TRUTH and consciousness. Most people want things that come easy and are quite eager to create shortcuts in all aspects of life. Retrogrades force you to experience a situation, a lesson - revisit pain , trauma - to rethink decisions that have resulted in repeated mistakes, heartbreaks , consequences and so forth.

When you have retrogrades planets natally, you will indeed attract people , places and things that come with a price - a harsh lesson & rejection. The rejection comes into play because like planets that come into another planets orbit - you will attract others into your retrograded planets orbit and they, them or it , will now be influenced by YOUR retrograded energy.

Energy rubs off everyone. Example, If you come into an angry, toxic or happy persons orbit - in most cases, their energy will rub off on you.

Your retrograded energy will most certainly cause others -who are fighting to avoid self awareness or in other words - GROW THE FUCK UP & TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY- to reject you in some manner.

Again, retrograde energy forces accountability, honesty, retakes , edits , starting over & over & over , rethinking , double checking and taking the longer route … All of which, MOST people avoid, reject, deny and make excuses for.

Others will gravitate into your ORBIT, not necessarily by their choosing - a higher power is at play. The reason for this is because they NEED to rethink, slow down , GROW THE FUCK UP, LEARN & BECOME AWARE OF THEMSELVES but instead you will observe rejection, a tower or a breakdown of the relationship because they refuse.

Others may flat out avoid you all together. They will act like and treat you like you’re invisible because energetically they know, their lower selves know what will happen if they allow themselves to gravitate into your orbit. “ HEAR NO EVIL, SEE NO EVIL” is how they FEEL you. You would make them aware ( depending on the retrograded planets you have) of their inner evil that they refuse to become aware of - let alone change, heal and outgrow.

( people avoid expensive stores because they know they can’t afford the merchandise. They will either quickly glance or not look at all. Some may even PRETEND they can afford the merchandise and when it comes time to put their money where their mouth is- THEY DISAPPEAR)

If you have more than 2 retrograded planets , all the more power to you…

Understand, you are walking KARMA for people, and they will avoid you at all costs or pretend and eventually get exposed i.e.. the relationship breaking down.
