RETROGRADES

Copywrites Reserved ©️GeminiMoonMadness

A retrograde in astrology is when a planetary object appears to move backwards, which essentially means the planet's energy is somewhat effected, so those life areas that fall under that planet's domain are not as easily expressed. It’s a very karmic thing to have in the natal chart, your soul chose to incarnate to learn deeper lessons regarding the areas of life ruled by that specific planet/asteroid. To know if you have a natal retrograde in your chart, look for Rx or R on a generated chart calculator.

Fun fact: Mars is the rarest retrograde.

Planets

If your Ruling Planet is Retrograde it will make you doubt yourself more and you may experience self image issues.

For example: A Gemini Rising with a natal Mercury retrograde or A Sagittarius Rising with a natal Jupiter retrograde.

Mercury Retrograde gives you lessons around communication, learning and intellect. You may struggle to articulate words and speak up or may even talk too much and not know when to be quiet.

Venus Retrograde makes someone’s nature more intense & deep. They take their connections very seriously which may cause these individuals to go through difficulties in regards to their one on one relationships. Since socialising is not taken lightly there can be some sort of awkwardness when participating in small talk and general shyness in order to avoid superficial connections.

Mars Retrograde individuals may lack forward movement, assertive abilities, have a dulled passion & drive. They may feel fatigued & tired more than often. Your sex drive may also be effected because of this.

Jupiter Retrograde individuals tend to have different or unusual perspectives, belief systems, or sets of morals. They prefer to learn from their own experiences rather than from others. This placement gives me “what do you know because you’ve experienced it yourself VS what do you know because you were told” vibes.

Saturn Regrograde burdens you with responsibilities and a sense of duty in your life. You may struggle with boundaries and find it difficult to say no to others.

Uranus Retrograde may make it hard for you to fully express your inner originality and unique side. These individuals are born a rebel and may also experience unexpected & sudden karmic events in their life.

Neptune Retrograde takes away your rose coloured glasses, you may have to face hard and painful realities as the neptunian illusion is stripped away. You’re meant to discover the truth behind your illusions, realise what is sacred and be a source of light in others lives.

Pluto Retrograde brings more growth opportunities into your life. You may have a fear of letting go which you’re here to learn the importance of doing so. You need to take control of your life as your shadow side may take over if you don’t do the work to transform/grow. (Shadow work is necessary with this placement)

(I know Lilith isn’t a planet, just adding it)

Lilith Retrograde can make you a sexual deviant (because sexuality is part of Lilith’s nature and here it's manifesting differently). You may struggle with following your instincts and acknowledging your desires. For example: Someone with a retrograde Lilith in Virgo would not be the typical control freak Lilith in Virgo person, instead they will be very messy.

ASTEROIDS

Chiron Retrograde means that trauma is deep within and may even come from a past life. In this lifetime, these individuals are here to re-evaluate your relationship with anyone & anything that doesn’t support you anymore. They may find it challenging to accept their feelings and the simple fact that humans are imperfect and vulnerable.

Ceres Retrograde individuals can struggle with having the nourishment, support, resources they need and may experience a lack in some way. This usually means that your upbringing failed to teach you the proper lessons about nurture and self care, so you'll have to learn it yourself. Check your Ceres sign and it will teach you what you need to nurture.

Juno Retrograde individuals may have commitment issues or trauma they need to work through. This also is an indication of past life karma in regards to relationships. These people are the lone wolves, they tend to avoid partnerships & may even prefer to be single and independent.

Vesta Retrograde individuals may lack devotion and discipline. It can bring up issues around fear of sexuality or intimacy, obsession, prostitution or selling yourself short in some way. They’re here to learn the value of service, this will examine how much dedication they’re putting into their life. When we put in little dedication, we can suffer. When we put in too much dedication, we can suffer as well. They may struggle with feeling like they fit in because they tend to lack devotion and/or generosity for others.

Pallas Retrograde may make someone aggressive, immature, have criminal tendencies and daddy issues. These individuals strategy may not be accept by society, with a ‘pick me’ vibe. They are inclined to manipulate and lie but can overcome these traits with self awareness and shadow work.

Amor retrograde individuals have some sort of discomfort when it comes to romance. You may have some old love issues and traumas to work through. These people tend to take a different approach to romance.

Cupido Retrograde may mean you have way too many crushes or rarely have any. You become too infatuated at times, or lack passion, and need to find a balance between the two.

Eros Retrograde may cause some issues around sex. This indicates there may be past trauma on a soul level, so you need to work on acknowledging your desires and acting on urges and fantasies in a healthy way.

Hermes Retrograde people tend to be in the wrong crowd and often find themselves taking the fall for others mistakes. These people tend to be good people but they may not be the best at balancing their life and managing their time. Possible fertility issues. Due to past accidents or incidents they have experienced in a past life may give them travel-related fears in this life. (fear of flying, fear of water, fear of driving, fear of bikes, fear of trains, fear of horses, etc.)

Eris Retrograde people may unintentionally cause trouble by doing things they thought wouldn’t be an issue. They may not like confronting others because it feels uncomfortable or they feel attacked whenever they speak up for themselves - They tend to experience a lot of gaslighting yet they usually hate fighting with others. They may often feel as though they are alone even when surrounded by other people.

Aphrodite Retrograde individuals may experience extremes from having stalkers to not being adored by others at all. They may feel unseen and unappreciated by others, making it often difficult to appreciate themselves. They tend to experience a lot of drama and may not be the most jealous person but rather the person who is too insecure to be openly jealous as if it’s like they expected it, “too good to be true” vibes.

I tried to be as informative as I could and added as much variety as I can with the asteroids I’m familiar with. There are other retrogrades I haven’t listed here.

ᡣ𐭩 i recommend using astro-seek, the cosmic insights app, or astro.com for this technique. it’s a vedic technique so you don’t have to use outer planets but i’ve found in some cases the outer planets tend to be more accurate so i still use them in vedic astrology on astro.com

˖ ִֶָ𐀔 𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑑 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑘𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑘𝑎 𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑒𝑡

ᡣ𐭩 your “darakaraka planet” or “dk planet” is the planet in your vedic chart that’s at the lowest degree. i use the outer planets sometimes but sometimes it’s not accurate. it did happen to be in the example i used with beyonce and jay z below though

˖ ִֶָ𐀔 𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑐𝑘 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑖𝑔𝑛 𝑖𝑛 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑑𝑘 𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑒𝑡

ᡣ𐭩 example: if your lowest degree planet is venus check the sign it’s in, if your lowest degree placement is the moon check the sign it’s in, etc

ᡣ𐭩 this sign is often going to be the same as your spouses sun or moon sign

˖ ִֶָ𐀔 𝑐𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑏𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑒𝑥𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑒

ᡣ𐭩 beyoncé’s lowest degree planet is uranus and it’s in the sign scorpio, jay z is a scorpio in vedic

ᡣ𐭩 jay z’s lowest degree planet is jupiter which is in the sign libra, beyonce is a libra moon in vedic

˖ ִֶָ𐀔 𝑛𝑜𝑡𝑒: 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝑖 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑜𝑛𝑙𝑦 𝑠𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑤𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑛

ᡣ𐭩 i am not sure why but i’ve seen this technique be more accurate for women’s charts when finding their husbands sign than men. for example, this worked in victoria beckhams chart but not david beckhams. this technique doesn’t always work in general but i found it interesting so i wanted to share
