PLANETS IN RETROGRADE IN THE NATAL CHART ✨✨💫

When planets are in retrograde in a natal chart, the traits associated with that planet are internalized and kept hidden instead of being openly and readily expressed. However, you can learn to express these parts of you, and you can learn to grow from the typical qualities of a planet in retrograde.

Thank you @aurora701-blog for giving me the idea for this post!!

The mind and the expression of your thoughts is internalized, everything that circulates around your mind is often kept private and rarely ever leaves your mouth. You may prefer to keep your deep, innermost thoughts as private as possible, and may have difficulty when it comes to expressing yourself through words and communicating comfortably with others.

The expression of love and your appreciation of beauty and aesthetics may be something that you don’t express to others often. Love and truly showing that love may be something that is difficult for you, being comfortable in relationships may be something that you have to work towards, and you’re possibly more likely to be fearful when it comes to telling your crush that you like them.

When you are angered, others may not even notice. Anger and passion may be something that you are unable to express comfortably and easily. You most likely hold in your anger in an unhealthy way, and may even be prone to realeasing it in random fits of rage or total breakdowns when you are no longer able to hold your anger within. Others may see you as a “chill” person, but that does not mean that your anger doesn’t exist beneath the surface.

Your philosophies, view on religion, and view on life in general may be something that is very personal and private to you. You may not be one that often expresses their thoughts on society and the world as a whole, these thoughts may be kept in your head as your most private and innermost thoughts. The expansion of Jupiter will also be internalized, there is a great opportunity for internal growth and expansion during the course of your life.

Who you are and who you will become has been barricaded from you, you put limitations on everything that you are capable of accomplishing in life, and those restrictions start from the inside. You may feel as if you are never enough or that you’ll never live up to other’s expectations, that you’re in a constant loop of failure or of dissappointing others. No matter what you accomplish, there may be a tiny part of yourself that will still nag you about what you haven’t done.

You may not readily partake in protests and revolutions in public, and may prefer to let your thoughts about how the world should change inside. Due to this, you may not see yourself as a very revolutionary or unique person, as you also may keep your quirks and individual interests/ideas to yourself. Inside, you may want to protest, to rise up against whoever or whatever you don’t agree with, to be a strong source of movement and forward thinking for others, but you may be scared to do so.

Instead of Neptune clouding or mystifying your view on the world, Neptune has clouded and mystified your view on yourself. Recognizing who you really are and not the mirage that you have put up for yourself may be a difficult tasks, and questioning your identity may be a relevant theme throughout the course of your life. You’re going to have to discover which parts of you are genuine and which parts of you are not actually there.

Internally, there is a war. Constant internal transformations, internal death upon internal death, internal rebirth upon internal rebirth, they may dramatically alter who you were at birth and who you are now. Be ready for great changes in terms of who you believe you are on the inside and who you will become. There is a tremendous power and presence that is beneath the surface of who you are, whether you realize it or not.

Retrograde Placements

A Retrograde means that a planet begins to move very slowly that it looks as if it’s going backwards in our point of view, from the Earth. But it is, in fact, just a very slow motion.

It is believed that the number of Retrogrades you have on your chart is the number of lives you have lived in this Earth. You are likely to have more de ja vu’s, because you are gifted in your senses. If you do not have any retrogrades on your chart, you are believed to be a fresh soul who is prone to making mistakes and can be considered as “naive.”

When you have Mercury in Retrograde, it is believed that you have been silenced in your previous life, the ideas and the words couldnt come out of your mouth -which might lead you to speak your mind freely in this life. Your sisters/brothers are believed to cause you problems in your previous life, also. That is why you might treat them differently in this lifetime, you might even be obsessed with them as if something might happen to them. If you dont have any siblings, this applies to the people you consider as your sister/brother. Your technologic devices might cause problems to you, the help you need from other people might not occur up until the last minute. You might pronounce some words differently and communication is very important to you. Hands might also cause problems, you could break some stuff and hurt your hands in your childhood. Writing can also be a great way of learning for you. You are prone to be misunderstood very much in your daily life, travelling is also very important to you. Subconsciously, you might try to to find and search for your “previous homeland” by travelling.

When you have Venus in Retrograde, it is likely that in your previous life, you have found your soulmate, however, you lost your partner too soon or you had a restriction with them, which might lead you to search for your missing soulmate in this life. Relationships might be the main focus of your problems in this life time. You might not choose to have casual relationships, even if you have your Venus in air or fire signs. Previous lovers and ex’s might always be in the agenda. The idea for searching for your true match is reflected to all your personal relationships, you might treat your loved ones as if you’re gonna lose them -because you have, in your previous life. You might turn down nice people romantically, feeling they dont have the traits of your previous lovers and the term of “karmic” is basically your approach to all close relationships. These people are prone to have more than one marriages, due to this endless search. Subconsciously, the last marriage they have, is the one with their missing soulmate. 

When you have Mars in Retrograde, you are believed to be associated with “war” in your previous life. In a woman’s chart, it is believed that a soldier was very imporant to you as a lover and you lost him to war. In a man’s chart, it indicates you were, indeed, the soldier. If your Mars is placed in Aries, Scorpio or Capricorn, it is believed that you had a very important role in war, meaning you might have been a colonel, a general, etc. Your aggressiveness is likely to be unstable, your reactions might be unpredictable. Health might be the main problem in your life, this retrograde also indicates surgeries (look up to the sign to see which body parts).

You might be high on senses, you might “sense” things before they happen. You might be anxious, as if things are going too fast and you are not gonna catch up to them. With this retrograde, you can make things happen with deep thinking and mediation as you can channel your positive energy very well. You can always find a help, even if it is in the last minute, whenever you need. Spirituality is very important to you and you might try to find meaning in everything in that sense sunconsciously.

You might have a repressed feeling as if you are not enough for things. You might be anxious about future, you might be pessimistic and you might try to secure yourself with materiality. And the reason for all this might be caused by a parental figure who had been very tough with you, very disciplined and way too firm; or the loss of this parental figure might also be effective. Family and divorces might be the main focus in this life. With this retrograde, it is adviced to never leave things unfinished in your life as it is believed that these matters will come back to you in the future.

Addiction might be the main problem in this life, you might be addicted to people or materials. You might be afraid of water, doctors, hospitals or drugs.

You might have an obsessive, intense and different kind of approach towards sexuality. You might appear though and strong but deep down, you might be anxious about sexuality, death and the afterlife. Generally, the sexual affairs you have may be problematic until a certain age, but eventually retrograde Pluto rests and begins to forget previous-life traumas.

Also you might want to try spiritual things in this life, such as reiki.

If your North Node is in aspect to your natal planets more than the South Node, it is believed that you came as a wise soul who learned from your past lives and you will use the traits you learned from those lives in a good way, positively. If your South Node is in aspect to your natal planets more than the North, it indicates that you failed to learn from your past lives and you will have problems regarding that in this lifetime. The houses in which the Nodes are placed in will be the main focus in your life.

Become inspired again in your craft!

Not going to lie these past few months have been hard for me to get through, staying in touch with my spiritual side and witchcraft journey has been a struggle, but recently I found my inspiration to continue on with it, I also get asked this questions a lot so here’s some ways I found useful to reconnect with my magickal abilities

The tips:

• Look at some other witches blogs/instagrams/YouTube channels: this really helped me realise how much I loved it and wanted to really devote my time back into it

• look back on your old book of shadows: see how far you’ve come

• Go back to basics: work on meditation, grounding yourself and simple spells, work back up your spiritual journey there is nothing wrong with revisiting the stuff you already have learnt

• ask questions, read books, talk to someone: if you have been feeling lost about your craft research a bit, it might help clear your head and clear things up

• Use tarot cards, oracle cards, pendulums and more: ask your guides for their guidance and for them to help re-inspire you

• sit out in nature: You night just need to have some well overdue time with Mother Earth. Just you and her sitting outside meditating and clearing your head

• decorate your house: re furnishing your house to fit you better with newer things to help inspire your witchcraft will get you excited to start working on it, like furniture and new witchcraft supplies

• look at some witch memes: hey it might not be the most productive thing but taking time to laugh at witchy things you can relate to you will boost your happiness and inspiration

I hope some of these helped, any further questions? Message me or send in a question! 🖤🌙
