Maximizing Personal Planet Retrogrades (for Mercury, Venus, and Mars Retrograde Transits)

    Maximizing Personal Planet Retrogrades (for Mercury, Venus, and Mars Retrogrades)

    by Annie Botticelli

     

    I always liken the energy of a personal planet being retrograde as the time when the ‘tide rolls in’.  If you are trying to push your boat out to sea when the tide is coming in, the odds of your desired outcome are limited as there are forces of nature working against you.  However, there are things that are even more favored during a retrograde that you can focus on to best use the energy and make the transit more smooth, enjoyable, and productive.

     

    Here are some examples of what I love this time for:

        I love this time for relaxing and being on free flow with no agenda, making it a fantastic time for vacations and stay-cations.  I especially love when Mars is in retrograde as it will make many people more lazy and unambitious than usual.  This time is an overachievers relaxing dream.  Since you know it is becoming beforehand, it would be wise to not plan your big pushes or outer accomplishments for this time since frustration will likely be the very strong theme if you do.
