Summer 2008 Planet RetrogradesAt the moment, only Saturn is direct in the outer planets. Jupiter

and Pluto go direct in early September but the context of this uniformretrograde activity is very important to our awareness. There are two

types of transits in your natal chart. One is when a planet is on themove like Venus and Mercury bombs through your aspects for a day or

two and they are gone.Then there is the retrograde transit where a planet goes over theaspect, then retrogrades back over again and then makes a direct move

over it for the third time. The farther out the planet is likeNeptune and Pluto, the slower they move and the longer the transit.

For instance, Jupiter retrograded at 22 degrees Capricorn in earlyMay. It will come back all the way to 12 degrees Capricorn by

September. So anyone born from January 3rd to the 13th will have aJupiter three phase transit on their sun. Uranus began its current

retrograde in late June at 22 degrees Pisces and will not go directuntil after Thanksgiving at 18 degrees. Any Pisces aspects in this

range or any water aspects in this degree range have favorable accessto their intuition.The retrograde phase of the three-stage transit has a creative posture

to it. The first pass is cleansing, the second, creation, and thethird pass, manifestation. Neptune has been in a tight five-degree

range in Aquarius since December 2006 when it went to 18 degreesAquarius. It is now staying at 22 degrees and does not make it to 24

degrees and out of this five-degree range until mid February 2009. Sowe are dealing with over two years of Neptune hovering in the same

place affecting growth in air aspects in that degree range, butplacing a lot of pressure on all fixed aspects like, Taurus, Leo and

Scorpio aspects in that range. Finally, Pluto is playing the cusp gamebetween Sagittarius and Capricorn, presently retrograde in Sagittarius

aiding late fire aspects in Aries and Leo, but putting contractpressure on mutable aspects like late Virgo, Pisces and Gemini.

Remember, elements trine and types square. Gemini would trine anotherair sign but square any mutable.
