How The 2007 Mars Retrograde Will Affect You

Fri, 19 Jan 2007 04:28:07 +0000

In terms of the individual, Mars (the planet of warriors) rules your ability to make an impact in the world and your physical energy. Depending on the placement of Mars in your chart during the retrograde you might either feel really tired and depressed and like you donâ€™t have the will to go on or very angry and like you would like to wreak revenge. This planet can also bring accidents, injuries and violence as well as severe relationship conflicts that can lead to a permanent separation between partners and friends.

Â Â

Mars requires 687 days to travel one cycle around the Sun and, depending on the time of year, this planet is stationary for up to five days. Its retrograde period happens every two years and it stays in this state for two to two-and-a-half months. The fact that it can stay retrograde for a couple of months creates scenarios that give emotions such as hatred, jealousy and resentment to brew.

Mercury Retrograde in a Natal Chart

Tue, 19 Dec 2006 23:31:42 +0000

Retrograde planets not only cause problems when they happen concurrent with the date they can also cause difficulties if you are born with a retrograde planet in your natal chart. I am going to devote the next few blogs to this very interesting subject.

Â Â

If you are born with Mercury retrograde in your natal chart you could expect to have life challenges to do with self-expression, speech, writing, computers, public speaking and anything to do with communication. You can expect a lot of misunderstandings, last minute disappointments and unfortunate timing in your life. This could manifest as never owning a computer for instance or having a terror of public speaking. However when Mercury is going through a retrograde transit, people born with Mercury retrograde in their chart might be bolder or be wittier than usual.

Looking Back At the Pluto Retrograde of 2006

Sun, 10 Dec 2006 22:07:20 +0000

In 2006 Pluto went retrogrades on March 29 and stayedretrograde until September 4, 2006. Pluto retrograde periods are very rough for many people however they are also considered to periods of immense personal or spiritual growth.Â This time it is retrograde in the sign of Sagittarius.

Â
Pluto retrograde also often symbolizes birth and death. It is the kind of planet where the more you resist a problem the more it persists. Very often events are governed by heavy immutable influences that seem beyond our control such as bad weather, war, plagues and civil unrest.

Â
During a Pluto retrograde we often also feel like what is going on in our relationships are beyond our control. Things that you count on or that seem familiar may suddenly be disrupted. Infidelity and betrayals are likely. You are also more likely to manifest your worst fears when Pluto moves backwards in your chart

Â
No matter where Pluto is in your chart usually it brings up power struggles and issues of control. If you think back to between March 29 and September 4 you will probably realize that a betrayal of some kind did take place.
