-Venus in the 8th, Gemini
-Jupiter in 3rd, Capricorn
-Uranus in 3rd, Aquarius
-Neptune in 3rd, Capricorn
-Pluto in 1st (Scorpio), Sagittarius

Adding to that, that most of the readings I did on the 8th house placements indicate karmic energy as well. And I have an 8th house stellium between my Sun, Mercury and Venus. So does this mean I have ''too much" karma that was passed on to me from a past life ?

Your soul chose those reteogrades.

If its on your chart you have evrything you need to deal with it. Remember anything that aspects any retro planet becomes obliquely retro because of its contact with the planet. Even luminaries act as retro when touching retrograde planets.

They say retro planets inward expression turns outwards at somepoint as the chart holder ages. Your going through a process of individualization if you will.

Oh! In this case, 90% of my chart acts as retro. Since the retrograde planets in my chart conjunct pretty much all of the other planets. Including the Sun.

I didn't really have any problem regarding any rx planet. I think they help me see the bigger picture. Since I'm heavily influenced by Gemini and with a 3rd house stellium (Mercury Dom), I don't have problems when it comes to communication. But I don't interact with everybody. I chose who to spend that talkative Gemini energy on. (Same thing with numerology, I have repeating 3s).

And I'm not sure if it's because of my Venus rx or my 8th house stellium, but I take a long time before settling in a relationship. I try to keep my emotions to myself, until I'm sure that it's worth it.

And I would also add, I'm somewhat impulsive when it comes to communication. I say things with no filter whatsoever. And that caused me problems, because people would get too offended.

Can you give further information regarding the last part where you said the inward expression would turn outward at somepoint...?

Retro itself isn't bad. Apparently what we did in a past life was bad in order for us to have to do it again.

I'm glad someone brought this up. My entire chart could be labeled retrograde. I have Mars through Pluto retrograde and my moon conjunct Pluto. My sun, venus, mercury, and chiron are all in the 12th. I'm not a recluse, or painfully shy. I don't have many of these typical traits that I've read about having so many retrogrades. I've talked to a few astrologers who are taking a new view on them. One said (and this made perfect sense to me) that as we move past the age of pisces, you'll see more evolved souls come to Earth and you can see this in their charts. One being many retrogrades. Instead of them acting as karma, they'll show what karma you've already overcome and are now acting as your gifts. You've mastered these planetary energies in your personality and ego and are gifted with their higher knowledge by bringing them deeper into your psyche and using them on a soul level. I've noticed this with a lot of younger people. Especially retrograde Saturn. I think retrogradess make you much more aware of that planet's energy and how to incorporate their higher purpose in your chart.

Oh!! Exactly! Same thing for me. I never reaally related to what I read about them "Retrograde = shyness or being an introvert". Idk if thats just because of my heavy mercury influence, but I'm not shy at all. On the contrary. And I would usually see people panic when a planet goes retrograde, while it's the period I feel the most energetic and productive. So it's really confusing ??

And I already have too many 8th house placements, added to the karmic energy retrogrades are supposed to bring, I suppose I should be going thru a bad period of time? But it's not really the case. So I'm just really confused.

Or we're just old souls who are skipping over those parts of our life and continuing to distinguish our selves from other souls ie individualization.

Although I know I need to work on the way I let words come out of my mouth. And take in consideration that people might be offended. Even if in most cases I rather say the honest truth than to "soften" it.

It's still important where they are in your chart so having a lot in the 8th house shows where you're meant to use them. The 8th house can be very karmic but I'd look at it on an esoteric level for you. It might make more sense. It has for me anyway. I'm still very aware of them on a more exoteric level, especially retrograde Uranus in my 7th. It's like I can see the higher and the lower aspects of each planet in those specific areas of my life. And just to throw this out there, I remember 4 of my past lives so these retrogrades don't really add up with the descriptions of what I did and who I was. That's really what prompted me to look deeper into their meaning.

Oh! I actually did a past life regression not to long ago, but I woke up in the middle of it. I don't know why.

But I do remember one in particular, because I kept seeing dreams about it over and over again. And now that you mentionned it, it does resonate with my 8th house stellium. Interesting...

Do you advice me anything to do regarding figuring the energy of my retrograde planets or the 8th house energy ?
