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)?
