Over Active Planets at Retrograde & Direct Stations

There are times when it seems that more is going than you can handle. It could be at home or at work. People might seem more crabby or short fused. You could be observing the influences of an over active planet.

If a planet appears to slow way down in its path to a virtual stop it is at what is called a station point. It is not that different than a train pulling into a station. At times the train will back up and travel backwards. This is the virtual view of the planets from earth's perspective. In reality this is not happening but just as the sight of a train moving in the opposite direction of your train can be unsettling. The same happens when a planet pulls up to its station point.

These stations are called retrograde and direct stations. During a period of weeks to months a planet can be moving backwards in retrograde motion. After it stops at its station point it returns to its direct motion for some time. Mercury will retrograde three times a year whereas Venus and Mars will retrograde once every 22 months (approximately).
The outer planets from Jupiter, Ceres, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto will retrograde only once a year.

Just a few notes about the type of things to expect during the retrograde period of the personal planets; Mercury, Venus and Mars.

When a planet is retrograde it may cause an impact on the subjects it governs. Such as Mercury: contracts, communication, transportation, information, siblings and neighbors, just to name a few.

When Venus turns retrograde it can impact the function of love and money. Matters of beautifying and peace.

When Mars turns retrograde our physical energy may be off. Either too much or too little. People could be more aggressive or not behave in an acceptable fashion for the setting.

More will be added later.
