![]() ![]() The years when Mercury is retrograde in the solar return chart are periods when you are challenged to back up and review what you have already learned in order to get a different or more intimate understanding of what you already know (or think you know). THE INNER PLANETS-Mercury, Venus and MarsĪll retrograde planets imply there is a need for review. In years-gone-past, these planets were considered to be on the “hidden side” of the houses. ![]() This is particularly true if Mercury, Venus or Mars are just behind the cusp of the house-in this example, just behind the 6th house cusp. Perhaps you don't have sufficient information to make the change. For example, if you find a retrograde planet in the 6th house, then you could be backing out of a job opportunity or some routine obligation, or you have come to realize that a change is premature for some reason. It is interesting to note that in solar return charts, like in horary astrology, retrograde planets often describe something you are moving out of or away from. In general, they invite you to look more deeply into what that planet really means to you. For example, Jupiter is retrograde 30% of the time, and Pluto is retrograde 50%.Īll retrograde planets are closer to Earth than they are at any other times in their orbits.īecause they are so near to us during these times they require you to become more aware of how you are operating in your life, both internally and externally. Jupiter through Pluto, because they are more distant from Earth, are retrograde for a good percentage of the time, so it is less likely that their retrograde condition will be as obvious to you in your daily life. "You're not going to be able to cut corners during this time," the twins say, and "if you've been skating by, that doesn't work anymore." While it can be difficult to address those areas of weakness, Saturn returns are ultimately an opportunity to become stronger and learn new skills.Inner planets, Mercury through Mars, function more powerfully when retrograde, and odds are that you will be aware of their retrograde significance if they are found either in the natal chart or in the solar return chart because they strongly impact personal decision-making as well as personal needs. Growth: If there's a point to all the trial and tribulation of a Saturn return, it's absolutely growth.As such, it can feel like your life is being totally transformed as you step into a new chapter-which can feel exciting but also intimidating, making you question everything. Due to the nature of this period, there's a tremendous amount of change, but also growth, that takes place. Existential crises: "Sometimes there's an existential crisis that happens during a Saturn return, which is why people see it as a source of suffering," the twins note.During your Saturn return, you may feel like the universe is testing you at every turn, and you have two choices: rise to the occasion, or keep playing it small. Tests: "Saturn gives you a test of your own authority," the twins explain.As the twins put it, "You're going to find the flaws and the weaknesses and you're gonna have to work on them." Responsibility: With the planet Saturn governing things like structure and maturity, you'll likely feel the full weight of your responsibilities during this time."When you get an audit of your foundation and your core structure, you're going to see where you're not really that strong," they explain-which is going to challenge you to do better. The twins note that they think of this transit as a personal trainer or auditor. Challenges: Chances are, you'll feel challenged during at least part of your Saturn return. ![]()
