Retrogrades - Retracing Steps

When a planet retrogrades, we ''are retracing our footsteps"

Re-thinking, re-evaluating and redoing our past actions. 

Through self reflection, we draw new insights. 

We gain clarity on how to redo old circumstances in a new way.

This leads to accelerated growth.

What is previously not working and how we can do it in a new way.

Going inwards and spend introspective time   

''Retrace our steps'' in order to move forward... in a new way.

------------------------------------

What does retrograde mean?

The motion of the planet when viewed from the earth, appears as if it is ''moving backwards'' is termed as retrograde.

Due to relativity of motion of the orbit of the planets around the Sun, it appears as if the planet is moving backwards, when viewed from the earth, although it is not the case. 

The outer planets like Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn retrograde about half of the year.

---------------------------------

- Neptune in Pisces is stationed to retrograde from 28th June2022 till 8th Dec 2022, from 25degree to 22degree. 

Keywords for Neptune: Ocean; Spirit; deepest meaning; dissolving old identity; letting go mental constructs/ illusions; gain clarity; void; endings of a cycle

What is dissolving and ending in your life? To path way for the new? A habit, a belief, a self image...

It can feel like a loss of grounding, no where to stand, a feeling of void and not knowing. 

This can give rise to insecurity and a need to grasp onto something familiar, and grasping to the old way of doing things...

Do you also feel the old way of doing things need to change now?   

----------------------------

Restlessness

My experience: Feeling of restlessness

The more I feel being blocked, the more restless I become:) 

I become more restless than ever, when a part of me feels "I am unable to take action''... 

The part of me that wants to be in control. 

What my mind wants to do, my body feel the ''drag'' and unable to follow through... 

Mind vs body. 

My will vs Thy will...

I am learning to listen to my body awareness instead of my mind. 

----------------------------------

Thoughts for Neptune & Saturn retrograde:

(Saturn in Aquarius retrograde from 4 June till 23 Oct 2022, from 25deg to 18deg)

Where do you feel blocked and asked to let go of the old habits?

Doing what feels natural and ease, compared to thinking about what ''I should do'', because it has always been done this way and it worked before. 

Doing what is joyous, you feel you are in the flow and what is more ''you'' (Saturn in Aquarius),,, 

What are you dissolving (Neptune) and rebuilding (Saturn)?

In Libra archetype, our instinct to interact with a diversity and different types of people. 

Scorpio is our instinct to merge and become one with what we desire.

We connect more intimately with those people with whom we feel more drawn towards and the relationships that empower us.

Examples are marriage and close friendships. We form deeper bonds and intimacy to share ourselves physically and emotionally with another. 

In the process, we are transformed by absorbing and becoming one with that which symbolize power. 

This can be a person, relationships, death, sex, rituals, taboos, money, status, a system of knowledge (astrology, religion, philosophy), yoga, meditations whichever that symbolize power to you.   

Scorpio/ Pluto/ 8th House correlates to the Soul.  

Scorpio themes

- Soul's natural impulse is to evolve and transform. 

- The process of evolution is liken to the process of metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly.

- A process of death and rebirth: elimination of the old self identity (Caterpillar), we come face to face with ourselves and confront our own fears and limitations (in the cocoon) and experience rebirth, emerge a new form (butterfly).

Merging

Scorpio is the archetype of merging and becoming more of who we can be.

Merging, committing and becoming one with that which you desire. It can be the song you always wanted to sing, and the career you desire.

For example, you sign up for a singing class in order to fulfill your dream to sing on stage; obtaining a certificate in Counselling Psychology to prepare yourself for the next career. 

By acquiring the skill sets you need, you become self empowered from within. 

Confrontation: 

- You come face to face with yourself about who you are, who you are not, and who you cannot be.

- You become aware of your personal limitations and what you need to overcome in order to evolve. Example: by absorbing and merging with others' skill sets and resources, you become more empowered.

- You dive deeper into psyche to examine: what are your deepest unconscious sense of security? Hence it symbolizes obsessions, compulsions and resistances to change and growth. 

Example: Unconscious attachment to a self image and status which gives you approval and security, hence resisting change.

Transformation:

 - At one point, you experience a full completion of a cycle, endings of past attachments and self identities. This can be experienced as powerlessness, loss, betrayal or abandonment. The feeling of the ''emotional rug of security'' being pulled away from underneath your feet. You are being thrown back into yourself to find the inner symbols of power and transformation. From within.

The intention of these experiences is to eliminate any external dependencies for source of power.

As you turn inwards to connect with your inner strength and inner resources, you are transformed. This enables you to internalize emotional security from within. 

In this way, you can merge with others in a self reliant manner, which adds to what you are.

We all have Scorpio archetype within us - our instinct to evolve and transform. 

The 8th house, Scorpio sign and Pluto in your birth chart show: what how you are transforming, what are the unconscious security patterns that you are eliminating in your life, so you are becoming self empowered from within.

It is through the other, we learn about ourselves.

Libra themes:

- The instinct to initiate a diversity of relationships with all types of people. 

- Through interaction and experiencing extremes and contrasts, you are learning about your own individuality. Who I am and what I stand for. And who I am not. Others can mirror to you what you want or do not want.

- Hence you are learning how to balance meeting your own needs and meeting others' needs. 

- You are learning to integrate into society as an equal.

 - Through deep listening, you learn how to meet others' needs from their reality rather than from your perceptions and reality.

- Being overly submissive and fitting into others expectations of who you have to be, can lead to losing your own self identity in the relationships. 

- Pleasing others: Not taking care of your own needs. Instead, seeking to please others by taking care of others at the expense of yourself. 

- Projections. Your relationships are mirroring back to you where you have not stepped into your own power to take charge of your own life. Instead, you have allowed others to be in charge of your life direction. 

- Learning about Self: Relationships mirror back your own victimized mindset, how you value yourself and your self worth. This creates self awareness.

Through relationships, we grow and transform into a higher version of ourselves.
