2017 Retrogrades

Mercury, the planet of communication and travel, retrogrades four times this year. Secrets and non-truths can be revealed. Possible travel delays, miscommunication, computer or car issues are common during these periods: December 19 – January 8, April 9 – May 3, August 12 – September 5, December 3 – December 22.

Venus, the planet of love and money, retrogrades March 4 – April 15. This is a time to reevaluate relationships and revamp your budget. Unexpected expenses and past lovers may present themselves. This is an introspective time to identify the people, places, and things that bring you happiness.

Jupiter, the planet of expansion and opportunity, retrogrades February 6 – June 9. Jupiter magnifies everything it touches, so an increase in joy, money, or faith is common. This is also a great time to reclaim your spiritual beliefs and to seek knowledge in a topic that feeds your need for knowledge.

Saturn, the planet of personal structure and career responsibilities, retrogrades from April 6 – August 25. This is a time to push through some possible challenges at work or in career and delegate excessive duties to others. This is also a time to embrace a belief or spiritual philosophy.

Uranus, the planet of change and liberation, retrogrades August 3 – January 2, 2018. This may bring a change in a friendship or a need to cocoon from group activities. Uranus loves freedom, so this period may trigger a need for independent projects and individual isolation.

Neptune, the planet of surrender and redemption, retrogrades June 15 – November 22. This is a time to let go of past regrets, guilt, or resentment. This is also a good time to catch up on rest and pay attention to your dreams. Neptune also teaches us lessons in forgiveness.

Pluto, the planet of fate and transformation, retrogrades April 20 – September 28. This retrograde will impact business and government since its transiting through Capricorn. This is a time for leaders to be accountable for their actions and reclaim their power.

Cosmic Blessings,
