The Retrograde a.k.a. the Apparent Backwards Motion of a Planet from the perspective of the Earth in Astrology has been written about many times before and chiefly for its different meanings and effects according to each planet which goes through the cycle which consists of becoming stationary / motionless, then retrograde / backwards for a while and then back to stationary / motionless and again finally becoming direct / forward again.
I myself had written an earlier piece on Mercury Retrograde in which I very much point out that when any Planet, and I do mean When Any Planet Goes Retrograde, that the fact that such a planet's basic Astrological Meanings have to consider the temporary company of other variables such as the Modification, the Change of other Meanings such as Reversals, Re-doings, Re-Considerations and really and truly A Series of quite serious Attempts to Change the general Pool/Collection of Values and of Opinions / Standings / Positions and in general also strong Attempts to Change in the Ways of Conduct of people and things.
A Retrograde Planet brings the unavoidable Presence of Non-Mainstream Energies, Non-Mainstream Influences, Non-Mainstream Cultures into the scene of the time, situation, person and/or thing.
The "Non-Mainstream-Ness" which I refer to, it ranges from the Unpopular to the Untried, the Occult, the Unknown and finally to the Not-known-if-safe & approved by one's Society in general.
I've come to understand that having a Natal Retrograde Planet points to "Non-Mainstream" influences where that astrological planet rules in the chart, the astrological house that it occupies in the astrological chart... Also to the astrological aspects / angles which that planet does to other planets, stars, asteroids and in general, to any other points in the chart.
The Non-Mainstream / Non-Popular / Non-Traditional / Non-Orthodox Influence of "Being Retrograde" can be entirely compared to the inserting the astrological planet Uranus into the equation of Meaning or the Quantum factor of Quantum Academia.
Retrograde Planets at Birth carry the NEWNESS of the most ANCIENT and QUANTUM Factors of all Changes & Discoveries...
That's it is because it always has in itself the Eternal Dissolving of Boundaries and Solvency of the planet Neptune, it also has the Sharpest Edges of the Surprise of the Evolution of the Self-Sufficient Independence and Wise Freedom of the planet Uranus... And lastly it has the Infinitely Delicious Quite-At-Home-In-Depth and Mightily Passionate eternal Penetration of the planet Pluto.
Now, you add such Variables to any other astrological planet and/or chart angles, and you have yourself a new collection of Directional Meaning as to why and wherefore such was, is and / or, will be this way or that way, etc.
To make a long story short - Retrograde also means Non-Mainstream Influence and Its Impact.
Whether it would be a Natal Chart or not, it would be wise to consider the length of possibilities offered by a retrograde planet in any astrological chart of any kind.
I was born with a Mercury Retrograde and I can vouch for the Transgender of the Zodiac and its temporary status of Being Retrograde and how such enabled me to sense the modified versions of my personal meanings and their influence throughout the years.
We all experience astrological Retrograde Planets in our lives, in ourselves whether by birth or not. With the exceptions of the Sun and of the Moon, all the personal astrological planets experience cycles of being retrograde and so do we all during the course of our lives.
It is interesting to observe that "being retrograde" is also "being non-mainstream" and to find such a trait in situations, people and things.
Yes! If you have one or more Retrograde Planets in your Natal Chart, they will reveal where you will display your excellence on Being Non-Mainstream.
If you have only one retrograde Planet natally, and such has been made important by virtues of degree, house, sign, aspects/angles and / or other points/formulas/factors...Then this planet will do the same and reveal your areas of excellence on Being Non-Mainstream.
Cheers.

MERCURY RETROGRADE - Revised

MERCURY RETROGRADE - Revised
MERCURY RETROGRADE
Mercury:
- Astrological Planet Of:
Information, Communication, Movement, GLBT People/Issues, Travel, Speed,
Exchanges, News, Thinking, Thoughts, Mental Stimulation, Letters, Emails,
Telephone calls, Utility, Mentality, Necessity, Moving, Listening, Talking,
Details, Service, Obligation, Health, Hourly Work, Commerce, Purity, Job,
Co-Workers, Writing, Mind, Intellectual Perception, Small Pets, Technique,
Pay-Cheque, Flexibility, Duality, Intercourse at all levels.
Mercury is also considered the Transgender of the Zodiac!
Mercury is the natural Ruler of the Astrological Signs of Gemini and Virgo!
Mercury goes retrograde/backwards in its apparent motion in the sky geo-centric-wise.
Astrologically speaking, Astrologers do know that it signifies the
Beginning of a period of "Re-Doing things, To Re-think things out, To
Re-consider Whatever it may be or Whomever it may be in our lives, to us
individually or to us collectively/together as a group"...
"It begins also a time of natural (unexpected or expected) Reversals and it is absolutely "NOT" a good and fortunate time to begin anything new, to start any new undertakings, new projects, new love, whatever it may be, if new, postpone it to start after Mercury goes forward...
In short it is not a good period to start anything totally new at all"!
Mercury will remain in apparent backwards motion in the sky until a time at which it will go direct or rather in Forward motion in the sky.
New Things, new projects, the Whatever new and Whomever new which are started in this Mercury Retrograde period tend to suffer reversals, tend to fall apart, tend to fail and to be entirely reconsidered again after Mercury goes Direct in the sky.
The positive side of Mercury Retrograde
The positive side of this period of Mercury Retrograde is that it is a good and fortunate time period for finishing and solving any type of "Unfinished Business" of any type and at any level...
Also a lucky period to resolve, to solve and/or finish any Unfinished Affairs Of The Heart as well.
The only mandatory requirement for such being that the "Whatever and Whomever" we choose to tackle at this time relating to Unfinished Business and/or Affairs of the heart, that they all have begun before Mercury went Retrograde or long ago...
Whatever it is must be something that had begun "In the Past" to be more precise.
Empowered with such privileged information any person can well be better informed to make better decisions on what/whom are best to be approached and worked with/on at this time.
Old wishes, dreams of the past and people and things of the past can have a successful outcome and also a desirable and pleasant result in our lives at this time period should we brave to rise to their occasion now during the Mercury retrograde time.
Folks, beware & take care!
I myself was born at a Mercury Retrograde period and I've come to observe and learn that it seems that Mercury Retrograde periods are friendly to me for as long as I respect the nature of such times accordingly.
Mercury Retrograde can be a Friend but only if you learn its Meaning...
And with respect and dignity you set out to willingly work in harmony with it and not against it during such periods of the year!
There you have it!
Best Luck To All!
Blessed be,

SOLAR ARCS / ASTROLOGICAL PROGRESSIONS
SOLAR ARCS / ASTROLOGICAL PROGRESSIONS
To:
a) Create one's own personal Age/Event List from age 1 to present
age... (We all know what were the major events of our lives and with a bit of
help from parents and siblings, we may even recall the ones that we have
forgotten about...
b) Erect a simplistic progression of the Natal Chart (1 degree per
year of age) and investigate each and every year by comparing list of actual
events and the events indicated by the astrological progression itself as
changing signs, changing houses, hitting/becoming conjunct (within 1 degree or
less of orb) an angle or a Cusp, or another Planet (chiefly the Personal
Planets primarily and the Outer Planets secondarily), or to a major or
personally meaningful-to-you Asteroid, or to a Uranian/TransNeptunian Planet,
or to an important/Trigger-Happy Mid-Point as for instance (Sun/Moon,
Mars/Saturn, Venus/Mars) etc, or to one of the Major Stars degree as Caput
Algol, Hamal, Canupus, Thuban, Regulus, Aldebaran, Formalhaut, Antares, Sirius,
Spica, Betelgeuse, etc, or to a personally significant Arabic Part (Part of
Dedicated/Natural Passion Ascendant + Mars - Sun) and/or to a personally
significant Uranian Formula also known as Planetary Pictures (Uranus + Neptune
- Uranian Aries Point = Metaphysics/Magick-In-Action, etc)...
c) Explore the wealth of available "Attributed
Meaning/Significance" to each of the 360 Degrees of the Zodiac via for
instance Sabian Symbols (I prefer Lynda Hill and/or Dane Rudyar's Versions)
and/or Sepharial's La Volasfera Degrees and/or Charubel's Degree of the Zodiac
Symbolised and/or Donna Walter Henson's Degrees of the Zodiac and/or Inside
Degrees by Ellias Lonsdale!
d) Don't be freaked out or scared by what you discover! Ask
questions, we all are here to help one another and there is no reason for fear
because "Fear Only Knows How To Hurt".

If somebody may say but what if I shall find myself sinking in
problems that I may find and do not know how to handle... I always say what my Mum used to
tell us as children - If sinking do quickly become a diver or you shouldn't be playing in
any water whatsoever, not until you do learn how to swim! Show some respect for yourself and to your precious Life.

If somebody may say but what if I shall find myself sinking in
problems that I may find and do not know how to handle... I always say what my Mum used to
tell us as children - If sinking do quickly become a diver or you shouldn't be playing in
any water whatsoever, not until you do learn how to swim! Show some respect for yourself and to your precious Life.

VIRGO THE INDIVIDUATED PRIESTESS & MARS THE AMAZONIAN GODDESS...
VIRGO THE INDIVIDUATED PRIESTESS
MARS THE AMAZONIAN GODDESS
Virgo the Sweet & Free Love-Making Goddess of All Harvest
Male-oriented times and society have done their handiwork to conceal and hide the true nature of the Astrological Sign of Virgo
Virgo as we know it has always been veiled by patristic and puritanical camouflages which have been fraught with primitive biases, bigotry against Women and Their Rights to Their Minds/Choices and Bodies, Their rightful place in Society... Biases and Bigotry Against the Poor, the Working-Class by assigning them Depreciation, Lack of Value, Unfair Responsibility as the Imposed Slavery of Underpaid Work of any type where the rich get richer and the poor gets poorer along with the arrogant assumption of deeming simple-mindedness as a natural part pertaining to Women, the Poor, the Working Class.
However Virgo in the most ancient pre-patristic times, the meaning of a Virgin was quite different from what the controlling Male-oriented/Patristic times came to control and modify...
The Vestal Virgins for instance, were not actual virgins, they constantly had sexual relations with whomever visited their temples...
They were "Not" whores at all as patristic/macho-chauvinistic academia would want you to believe with their trumped-up and biased "Sacred Whores" bits...
These women were dignified Ladies...
They actually were adorable and extremely beautiful Women - Priestesses of the Ancient Goddesses and Gods...
And most of all, They "Owned" Themselves, Their Choices & Their personal Sovereignty! A Virgin was a Human Being who was not a Slave to other Human Beings...
A Virgin was a human being in charge of their Body, their choices, free to be real and true to themselves and to others. Free to have sexual relations with whomever they wished to...
Virgo's Goddess was a Happy Goddess with her knife cutting the harvest, surrounded by harvest and the joyous and happy gatherers , owners of the bounty and abundance of such times...
The direction of the Meaning was healthier, happier, much more free and strengthened by the integrity of being real and free to be oneself.
I think Virgo has hidden in itself the gold and treasure of/from the Ancient Times for those who will brave the details hard enough to find their reason, their reward and the beauty of Meaning which each Constellation, each Zodical Sign has to offer to each human being, to every species...
Virgo does not need to continue to carry the burden of the puritanical and anti-women/anti-women's rights ideologies/meanings imposed upon such a beautiful Sign.
Mercury sooner or later expects people to embrace their own evolution, sometimes such comes as people becoming wilfully open to see more and beyond their mainstream books and notions of whatever it may be...
In this case, the Sign of Virgo, everything operates at many levels of being...
MARS THE AMAZONIAN GODDESS
This is my part of Mars...
As we know it, Mars has been allotted the role of Manhood, Masculinity, Virility, Men, Husband, Male Lover, Action, Initiative, Competition, Warrior, Fight, War, Battle, Cutting, Killing, Hurting, Harming, Destruction and of course "Work".
However, Mars was also the Spirit of the Amazons, The Brave Female Warriors...
The Action, the Work, the Initiative, the Doing of Mars can be Feminine and Beautiful...
It can equally be Caring and Motherly too...
In our times, in these male-oriented/patristic times, Mars has been sold/imposed to signify to all people the Male Symbol much alike as Venus is the Female Symbol...
But Mars was not always a Man, neither was Venus always a Woman...
The Energies, Meanings and Symbols of Mars and Venus have much to do with each other as they exchange with each other depending upon whether one is looking at the ancient matristic/matriarchal times or the patristic/patriarchal times...
All Genders & Sexual Preferences are cute/fine and dandy for finite passages as temporary species in the flesh but they do not define Planets & Stars whose spans of life in the flesh may encompass thousands, millions, billions of our tiny and compact lifetimes/time-zones...
At some point we all sort of step out of the simple-minded mainstream box and we do brave to see beyond it as we regain ownership of our eyes, of our free perception...
The added perception could come in handy chiefly on the edge of times of great changes.
Just sharing my eclectic/plural perception...
