and yet the difficulty in the situation makes it necessary to do something about it. Caught between the

"Visually, retrograde means the
planet appears to go backwards in the sky. It travels forward, then backwards, and then forwards again. This drove the Ancients crazy
trying to figure out what caused this bizarre behaviour!..."

"Everyone has their
Mercury Retrograde horror stories! Communications go wonky.
Computers misbehave. Things are misplaced. Appointments get
cancelled or forgotten. Wrong numbers are dialled. Delays interrupt
the normal flow of things. Second thoughts lead us to doubt our
decisions. Arguments erupt. The best laid plans seem to spin their
wheels in the mud, and "business as usual" can be very hard to
maintain. We drift off in mid-sentence and wonder what we were just,
um....." Read the article... |

"Following one's heart is not without its
consequences, but without it we are only going through the motions that are put on us by others. We have to make a choice
― to pay homage to Aphrodite/Venus or risk the consequences of her wrath. Her central message seems to be: It is
crucial to honour love above all else. If you dishonour or disregard the workings of the heart, you will eventually suffer for it..."

"The effect is a bit like running your finger
through a candle flame. If you do it quickly, you feel a little warmth but
nothing painful. If you do it slowly it will feel hot and intense! When a planet
is moving at its usual speed, its effects are relatively light, compared
to when it is going slowly at the station, which is much more powerful and
extreme..."

"Anger, hostility, force, threat, displays of
power, and other forms of aggression, naturally invoke a certain degree of fear. The primary instinctive responses to
fear are: Fight, Flight or Freeze. Mars retrograde is a wonderful opportunity to explore the deeper dynamics and
issues that trigger intense reactions in us. Mind you, it will help if we can do this without turning
everything and everyone around us into burning marshmallows!"

"Mars is
in the sign of Taurus, the Bull, during this
retrograde cycle. This combination is a mixed bag of
challenges and blessings. Mars brings to Taurus the
drive to go after what it wants. However, impulsive
Mars is not entirely happy about being in the Fixed
Earth sign of Taurus. It's
not an easy marriage!"

"When Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron mingle together, we have the makings of a spiritual struggle that can
deeply challenge our faith in life. Together, they push us to bridge the gap between our hopes and expectations,
between our aspirations and our efforts, and between our principles or beliefs and how we apply these in our lives."

"Saturn's nature to always have an agenda;
it wants to accomplish something specific. In order to bake a particular type of cake, it is important to follow the
recipe precisely. Too much flour, too little baking powder, or substituting a different ingredient means we won't
wind up with the cake we set out to make. Following the instructions is essential to maximize the chance of getting
the intended result. Virgo understands this, and so does Saturn. Saturn in Virgo can also be a task master! But it will
also reward you if you work hard..." Read the article... |

"Jupiter is optimism, potential, freedom and spiritual
goodness. Pluto is intensity, oppression, danger, death and decay. Together, the two challenge you to reach for your highest potential without
losing touch with the most basic reality — to accept both the best and the worst in yourself and in life."
