MERCURY— A retrograde Mercury at birth denotes a person who has come into this
incarnation with a “knowing” of some sort. It may be viewed as a gift of insight into any subject.
They need to use their intuition in life and go with their “gut instincts”. Often they are labeled as
slow thinkers or someone who cannot retrieve information quickly but they basically take in
knowledge and disseminate it differently. They have had experiences in their past life that are
more helpful for them than to a person with a direct Mercury at birth. Karmically they have
brought over in this life the instinct to “know” how to respond in the best manner for them. What
they do learn in this life, in the form of new communication o r learning skills, will be carried
over into the next life. Then if Mercury is direct natally in that life, they will be able to express it
in the usual accepted manner. The house occupied by Mercury shows the area where you had
this prior knowledge and your choice of environment where you wish to play it out in this life.IP: Logged |

VENUS — A retrograde Venus gives the person the ability to be more subjective in their
desires, who and how they love and concerns for financial freedom. The’ past life conditioned
them in these areas to accept a different approach than others. Who and what they attract in their
lives will suit them perfectly. A Venus retrograde only asks to “do their own thing” and to have
no judgment placed on them. When society does place rules in the area of Venus, the person can
feel like an outcast. Their karma in this life is to find freedom of their choices as to who and how
they love and how they meet their financial needs.IP: Logged |

MARS— A retrograde Mars will always take a different course of action in life. Past life karma
has afforded them the instinct to get through this life in a different manner than individuals who
have a direct Mars. The person is not as direct in their actions as other people. They would rather
take the indirect approach to life and exert their drive and ambition from behind the scenes. They
have the past life experiences to draw from for guidance. They have the ability to know the
proper course of their actions. When life presents them opportunities for taking a new direction,
they will succeed if left to their own instincts. They are the individuals who cannot be pushed
into making fast decisions. Mars is the planet where we can express those things in life that is
most important to us and it is the area we want to direct our energy. A retrograde Mars knows
how they are to perform in this world and their choice of area of life.IP: Logged |

JUPITER — A retrograde Jupiter can cause the individual to turn inward with their expression
of life. Rather than outwardly express great joy and a celebration of life, the person seems to be
so stoic and serious in their approach. There may be a conflict over religion or spiritual beliefs
with them and those around them. With Jupiter being retrograde they may seem to take life more
serious, but the indivi dual can face life with assurance of not overdoing. The person may have a
comfortable presence of confidence without seeming to be arrogant. In their past life, the
individual has learned the lesson of when to “go for it” and when to “lay in wait”. The placement
of Jupiter and where it rules is the area of an inwardly optimistic individual.IP: Logged |

SATURN— A retrograde Saturn makes the individual seek a different kind of responsibility
and purpose in life. The person may be challenged by either the father or other authority figures
to take more responsibility for their actions. Through the past life experiences, they answer their
critics with a slow persistence of reaching their goals in life. Where the planet is by house and
where it rules shows the area where they will have to strive hard for success. A retrograde Saturn
builds the character to accept small gains in the long process of success. Security issues need to
be addressed in their present life and only when the ego does not interfere, does the individual
feel a sense of peace. Saturn’s sign in the chart is where the person needs to address the demands
and responsibilities of life.IP: Logged |

URANUS — A retrograde Uranus gives the individual the feeling of having more control over
their life. Past life experiences have readied them for the unexpected. In doing this, they feel they
can handle those things out of their control. They may appear more orthodox to those around
them than individuals with a direct Uranus in their chart. The house of Aquarius and where
Uranus falls in the chart marks the areas of insight into spiritual laws of the Universe. In their
past life, they were rebels and paid a heavy price for that. Now they choose not be so rebellious
and work within the rules of society. They are individuals who can make old things new for the
world. An example would be taking a branch of study and making it usable for the masses.
Having a retrograde Uranus in the chart can make the person inventive. They also may have the
ability to develop principles of knowledge easier than others who may have a direct Uranus. This
is because they perceive those things through their higher mind.IP: Logged |

NEPTUNE — A retrograde Neptune gives the person a need to serve. They are the spiritual
warriors of the Universe. Through sacrifice in t his life, the person feels loved and useful. They
need to be needed. They are ready in this life to pay the price for love and devotion. They can be
extremely serving and postulant individuals. They learned this expression of service well in their
last lifetime. The sign of Pisces and where Neptune is by house marks the areas in this lifetime
that need to be addressed. They can call upon the mystic side of the Universe for guidance in
their life, but the ease of it can make the person an addict to seeking help in this way.
PLUTO— A retrograde Pluto brings in more souls than any other retrograde planet because it is
farthest from the Sun, and the duration is the longest. These are souls who have come as a group
to change the world. They were active in this pursuit in their last life and want a chance to
complete it now. The house of Scorpio and where Pluto points to the places where the person has
an advantage over others, because they have control over the direction of this intense energy.
They do have the tendency to manipulate in very covert ways, but without the desire to be in
charge. They only want to be part of the changes made in the world by their generation.

nice, I have Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn retrograde. what's interesting is the description of retro Mars. i used to be blunt to a fault, i said everything and felt that it was the right thing. in the recent years, i really went through many lessons and learnt the art of taking different approach than bringing everything under harsh light in one instant.

Mercury wants information. Normally, Gemini goes out and gathers information and
then brings it to Virgo to be analyzed. When Mercury is Rx, so much information is coming in and it’s in your face all the time that you can’t really handle it all. You need to
stop and process what’s in front of you before going out for more.Venus wants to be loved and appreciated. If your Venus is retrograde, your values and
what you want to make you feel good are constantly an issue for you. Normally you’d
learn to love yourself and know what you want through Taurus. When Venus is
retrograde, it operates through Libra, so you look to others to give you a sense of your
own personal worth. This generally doesn’t work, so you then have to go back and do the
Taurus thing. Mars wants to do. When it’s retrograde, you need to direct its energy in a less
offensively Arian way. Before you impulsively lash out, you need to see how your action
will affect the people around you, as a Scorpio would. Retrograde Mars should lead to
rebirth and regeneration. IP: Logged |

Jupiter and Saturn show how we need to learn to integrate with society. Jupiter is the part
of us who wants more in life. When it’s retrograde, you need to bring it through Pisces
before the Sagittarius rulership really works. Instead of exploring many different beliefs
and ideas and then determining what you believe, you need to find your source of
inspiration within (Pisces) and as you expand your own ideals, you can reach out into the
larger world. The philosophical structure of your childhood will need to be transformed
in a significant way.IP: Logged |

If Saturn is retrograde, boundary issues are huge for you. Normally, when Saturn is
direct, you will go out and learn the rules and become responsible within those
boundaries. Then when you go out into the next step, which is Aquarius, you’ll have the
foundation to make effective change and revolution. When Saturn is Rx, the structure
isn’t there for you. The only way you can find boundaries that work for you is to rebell
against those that are already in place and don’t work. Often Saturn Rx can’t handle
authority figures. They need to develop the Aquarian independence before they can
recognize the importance of boundaries.IP: Logged |

Uranus, Neptune and Pluto only have singular rulerships. They’re all Rx about 50% of
the time. The differences are subtle. Uranus is that part of us that just wants to be
different, to be an individual. When it’s direct, it knows how to do this in a way that
works. Its purpose is to break the rules, get rid of obsolete structures, make something
come to life. If it’s Rx, Uranus is almost more Capricornian. In theory, if Saturn rules
Capricorn and Aquarius, could it be that Uranus also rules Capricorn and Aquarius? If
Uranus is direct, it would be the Uranus that breaks out of the existing structure and
creates something new. If it’s Rx, it might be better for these people to do the reflective thing, and go into an organization and try to change it from within.IP: Logged |

This is the only one that fit for me. The other 5 don't paint an accurate picture.
I wonder if Saturn Rx could stand for someone who had to stand in as their own parent, for example when I was young I had to take over organizing all of the bills because my dad was completely unorganized and left everything unpaid. He'd give me signed blank checks and say that I had to make sure the utilities, etc. were paid on time.IP: Logged |

^where's your saturn L? mine's in 1st.i had to enroll myself alot too. picked most of my schools until college. i wasn't very good with authority figures in high school but i figured out to schmooze by college. or maybe i just liked my teachers more. i love learning stuff just hate people that learn to do it one way so if you ask them something out of their plan they can't answer coz they don't know or they can't really think for themselves. OFF TOPIC LOLOL! my boss is kind of like my parent now. i looked it up in that secret language book and i know it's just for kicks but it does feel like that type of relationship. at least a family member. or maybe coz my uncle was born in the same week and he was like a parent to me too. i dunno!

"i had to enroll myself alot too. picked most of my schools until college."
---See, things like that I find so strange, just like the bills. I would not make a child enroll themselves even if they were 16 etc, of course if they wanted to that's a diff story. It's just the fact that children shouldn't have to bother with things like that it's not their responsibility.Is yours Rx, I couldn't tell from the posts here?
Mine's in the 3rd. "i figured out to schmooze by college"
---Is this the same as learning to give the teachers what they want? I have that game down. You could take the same class by 2 diff instructors and learn in a vastly diff way with diff bits of info. Always felt sorta cheated by that, like what if I got the worst of the bunch the whole way through, lol. "my boss is kind of like my parent now."
---I've had this too, a lil too close for comfort sometimes, I feel like the spoiled child of the bunch and for me I'm careful not to incure wrath from others, I play it down all the time. For me I put it down to Pluto opp Mc. Do you have Pluto sq Mc? Saturn does rule authority figures tho, you're right......And with Rx it's the reverse, I'm letting this marinate, I've actually stepped in sometimes and clued the boss in on info which doesn't sit well cos they like to always be top-dog-person-in-the-know. Ugh, I have too much aspecting my Mc anyway (opp Mars/Saturn/Pluto, trine Nept, sq Moon/Venus).

bills are a lot harder though.  especially when we were young i'd imagine alot less electronic banking. oh yah sorry mine is retro in the first scorpio. i dunno if i gave the teachers what they wanted. maybe i was actually interested in the subject or i felt my previous ones weren't up to snuff. i used sarcasm alot because some couldn't detect it. like they wouldn't understand why the class was laughing. bad bad i know but glad that's over anyway. yup i have pluto on the ac square my cancer mc (i know this contributes to the rudderless quality abit)and leo moon. venus 7th and mercury in 6th also square it. apex of those t- squares i guess. GAH! i do have sun opposite saturn so i think that adds to my problems with authority. oh well hopefully with time. IP: Logged |
