Me myself have all the outer planets retrograde, 4 in total.

posted February 22, 2017 06:57 PM            

Mercury
Jupiter, my chart ruler
Uranus
Neptune
Pluto

With Rx planets there is a lot of subconscious activity going on. Personally when Uranus is activated I pull information from who knows where, it's all subconscious and pretty spot on.
No, normally I'm not intuitive like that (water trait) I'm more learned.

I have everything from the 12th house to the 3rd Rx, including every asteroid I've checked so far. This includes Pluto, Uranus and Neptune.

Introverted in public but not so much one on one or with people I'm familiar with.

All the energy of the first quadrant is focussed inward so most people assume I don't have self esteem because I'm happier out of the spotlight. Constant perfectionism, self-analysis and observation.

The book starts warning you, to read it, but not to get too much into it, so you don`t loose yourself in the vortex. haha

So yes it seems that Retrograde energy, is pretty different then direct energy.

the book also says that trough this retrograde energy is where a lot of karma is cleansed.
That it has a lot to do with regaining the harmony.

It talks about 3 phases. Has anyoneelse heard about this phases?

"The general tendency is for the individual to try to use his Retrogrades in exactly the same manner as he is using his planets which are in direct motion. And when this doesn't work he starts dividing himself into various unrelated states which can result in general misery.

With planets in direct motion it is very easy for the individual to switch the emphasis of the planetary energy within himself from moment to moment as his own total energy pattern rises and falls. However, when he tries to do this with his Retrograde planets he runs into quite a different situation.

Firstly, he is at any given time going through part of a threefold Retrograde Process. He is:

1. Jumping ahead of himself trying to live the future now.
2. In the process of living out the future, experiencing the feelings that he has already been there.
3. Repeating in mind the first phase, so that he is actually reliving the looking forward to a future that has already occurred."

wow thanks a lot for sharing this!
it's so true!

I have 3 Rx planets, uranus, neptune and pluto, all three closely aspecting my sun, mars and moon.

I'm not sure I if I ever find myself trying to live the future, but I sure experience the feeling of already having been there a lot!

yeah I think personal are more difficult also.

But don`t the planet gets retro when it opposes the sun?

Awkward.

I dont know, people are at extreme points with me. They either like me very much or dislike me. For no reason, btw.

Usually, what I think comes true. 99% of the time I am right.

Maybe, dunno.

My life is boring.

How do you feel in society?
I feel misunderstood due to experiences that aren't common for the majority. This results in me going through stuff in silence, because there aren't enough people that know what I'm talking about. There seems to also be a constant feeling of me not belonging in society. Some of my isolation is my own fault, but I am going to move into society at my own pace. It is my responsibility to fix my problems, and at this point, I've become used to people being unable to help me cope with personal issues. Still, without help from people, my problems are going to take a while to fix. To compensate for my present situation, I plan on never going into retirement, which may or may not be forced upon me by later life circumstances.

Do you feel, you can easily leave a mark on people?
I am memorable for reasons I do not know, but otherwise, I'm not much of an influence on people. This may someday change, but I don't generally feel like I leave a mark easily.

More of a feeling of, ohh here I am again, ok, if it is nessesary, and for the will of good, let us start again.

I can identify with what others have described above. I also identify with descriptions of an "old Soul" (although I do not deem any particular soul age as being superior to any other, the concept of being an Old Soul has helped me to better accept myself as someone who "marches to the beat of a different drum.")

I am extremely introverted (INTP), highly autonomous and nonconformist, very philosophical and rather intense, more of a thinker than a doer. I definitely feel out-of-place living and working in DC amongst mostly ambitious, conformist, superficial types. Most of my close friends live elsewhere. But life became much easier once I ceased trying to conform, and learned to appreciate my eccentricities -- around age 40.

Yes, it is true that I seem to have a strange effect on people and groups. I have gone through cycles of being oddly popular (for no apparent reason) and then other cycles of feeling a bit like a pariah (for no apparent reason) -- all of which have taught me to be very self-reliant and not to depend on external approval.

My external life would certainly appear boring to most people, but my internal life feels very rich and meaningful. My favorite "activities" are studying, contemplating and practicing Eastern philosophy and attending meditation retreats.

I should probably add that, in addition to having five retrograde planets, I also have Sun conjunct Saturn, Moon opposite Neptune, a six-planet stellium in the 10th house (Sun, Moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Saturn), and north node in Pisces, so, the way I see it, I never really stood a chance at leading a conventional life, ha ha.

Yes, my career has been a major focus in my life, as I work as a government attorney in DC. However, I actually feel rather conflicted about that and wish that my life had more balance (which might be attributed to Saturn being part of my 10th house stellium). I am single (divorced after brief marriage), no kids, a few close friends, but a lot of my social life revolves around work these days.

My life is mostly divided between work and spiritual pursuits: Saturn and Neptune being prominent in my chart. Over time, I have learned to accept, and even appreciate that that is just who I am.

Despite the prominent place of career in my life, my heart is really on my philosophical/spiritual pursuits. Obviously, that is shown by Moon opposite Neptune and NN in Pisces/8th house, but I believe that my prominent Saturn/10th house aids that side of me as well because there has been a serious intellectual and existential need to discover "the meaning of life" from a very young age, facilitated by depression and disillusionment with conventional answers to such questions. Also, I have had to address and resolve a lot of karma in this lifetime, which I think can also be associated with Saturn/10th House.

Thanks for asking! Do you believe that your own 10th House planets have served you well in life?

I am nearing the Mars phase of life, I am 25, and am getting more active at working, let`s see.
I feel that I want to accomplish something in life, like something that I can look at and be proud for.

They are in Cancer, I realy like to look at children, and I can facinate them easely also

If they have served me well?
Mercury in the 10th, I remember once, in school, running the hole brake from like 5 older guys, in the end they cornered me, but I automatically started to discurse, and they said nothing, I believe also because I got emotionall haha
But maybe this is a quallity on Mercury in the 10th, say something with inpact
But in general I don`t speack to people much, I have spend many hours alone, maybe this has changed me

Retrograde motion of a planet urges us to revisit our own personal perceptions or previous internalizations of that planets' energies. For example, Pluto is in Rx motion about half the time and it is appropriate that this be internalized more in our process of understanding empowerment since empowerment is an inside job.

It is best to understand the energies of planets individually first before trying to understand retrograde in a generalized way. I say that, TensionEmpire, because the questions you posted while part of your learning process, lack relevance in understanding retrograde planet interpretation.

First, take the planet and understand its energy dynamics. Then adjust interpretation in your chart based on whether the planet is Rx, which is in internalizing process of it in which a person could be considered more thorough in revisiting their own perception and patterns of it.

The difference is subtle. Don't fall into the either/or is/isn't assumption of a wide chasm of difference between a planet in Direct motion vs Rx.

Rx does not change the planets' fundamental energy, just how a person perceives or processes it. It need not be any kind of hindrance to full life experience.
