What about Juno retrograde?

I would describe all 3 of us as intellectual introverts with a wide range of interests, for whatever that may be worth.

As for Juno, my nephew and Paul McCartney have both Vesta and Juno Retrograde.

My current partner, who has been married 3 times, has just Juno R.

Well, since it's my partner and not me with Junk in retrograde, I think I'd prefer the term unique or perhaps unconventional.

My husband has Juno retrograde and we've been together for 10 years married for 6. He's never wanted a divorce, now me on the other hand... my dramatic self is always the first to say "well let's just get a divorce!" and he is the one who is like "ha good luck, 'till death remember?" lol -- It also conj his Retro Neptune.

Now am I weird. I am about as weird as it gets at times. He has chosen the most out there person compared to who he has dated. I am very VERY Neptunian as well. We were married at 22, I look back and think just how freakin' nuts that was to get married so young!!

Ha! That's what I get for responding from my Kindle Fire. Probably an autocorrect.

It's the second asteroid connected with marriage, so I guess being retrograde makes you not like it. I also noticed that in every house and sign shows where and how you need to be isolated to regain your mental peace.

Juno being retrograde makes people dislike marriage for sure. My best friend has an Rx Juno and she hates marriage, doesn't even want to have kids.

I like your description about Libra as being between Virgo and Scorpio when it comes to Vesta.

However, I think retrograde planets/asteroids are just more serious/picky, they involve responsibilty and lessons, they move on the vertical rather than the horizontal spiritual plane... astronomically, the retro movement is an optical illusion. Astrologically, it signifies a planet/asteroid staying longer in a spot, moving back and forth, being kept there for a while, forced not to move forward unless it processes certain things. The element of time is also involved: there are many lessons involved with retrogrades and the native cannot move forward before they distill the lesson. Retros add depth wherever they are in the chart.

I would associate them with the Hanged Man - tarot card.

I seem to have many of the asteroids in the top half of my chart retrograde, i.e., in houses 9, 10 and 11. The top half is referred to as the southern hemisphere and it represents career, ambition, desire for recognition. Perhaps, these are areas where I'm not doing so well. or have little regard for. I suspect it is the latter .

For example, I have these retrograde; Kaali, Rudra, Siva, Kassandra, Pythia, Anubis, Tyche.

All of my planets live in houses 1,2,3 and 4 - the northern hemisphere - areas of greater importance in my life in contrast of the above. So it seems to make sense, that the asteroids in the southern hemisphere are retrograde.
