What Does this mean for you?
Bad omens are placed on this planet when in retrograde, not always true. During this time it is a chance to go within a
reflect. This planet governs all transportation and communication issues. It is a rather a highly objective, truth seeking and
it rules intelligence, education and truth. Usually the effects are felt days to weeks ahead of the retrograde.
What does retrograde mean? This is when the planet appears to have stopped and then temporarily reverses its regular
movement through the sky. The planet then goes retrograde/backwards. After a certain period of time, each planet is
different time length, the planet then appears to once again stop and reverse its movement through the sky. Then it goes
direct and is back on its normal cyclic path through the sky. Some things that can happen when in retrograde with this
planet are: missed appointments, computer problems, mail gets returned, things get lost in the mail and things just get
lost, problems with all transportation, communications are down - including verbal. This is a time not to sign contracts or
to start new projects, jobs, ideas, etc. You might run into someone from the past, usually to clear unresolved issues. Two
astrological signs are governed by this planet are Gemini and Virgo. So if you think we have a difficult time during
retrograde, these two signs have it harder. This is a very good time to reflect inward and do clearing work. Since this time
things slow up - by removing the old to make way for the new. As soon as the planet comes direct, things will speed up. Sit
back and remove the old to make way for the new.
