Retrograde this week?

I wonder if there is anything retrograde this week? I haven't been feeling myself for the past few days... It's annoying.

I have been getting bad headaches since end of last week, anyone else experiencing this?

@ bluemoon2. Thanks for the info. Although I have been feeling more anxious and secluded than filled with energy :S

I found this on cafeastrology.com:


Venus is Retrograde in Scorpio (and Libra) from October 8th to November 18th, 2010.

(...)Venus rules our values, and when she is retrograde, we don't seem to be in touch with exactly what and who we value. After the retrograde cycle is over, we may look back and wonder what we were thinking. So, do what you can to avoid major decision making during Venus' retrograde cycle. A change of heart is likely later. And, the people we meet now may appear more fabulous than they turn out to be. It's also possible that some people we meet now may appear less attractive than they turn out to be! Whatever the case may be, try to hold off until late November before making big decisions, particularly life-altering ones.

Still, we are not especially warm and affectionate during this cycle. It's hard to trust others just now, and, perhaps more so, it's difficult to trust our own instincts when it comes to judging others or our relationships. We tend to suspect insincerity in others. People appear to be more selfish, withdrawn, and self-protective. It's hard to make headway in a direct manner in our love relationships for the time being. If you are hoping to fix a relationship or if you are trying to schedule a reunion, it may not be the best time to do so.

Then there is a feeling of the inevitable during a Venus retrograde. What happened in the past, including past love affairs, can flood our consciousness now. Sometimes, a past lover reappears in his or her physical form. Dealing with endings is actually favored during this cycle.

No wonder I hate everyone and everything this month.

It's the excuse I'm using also. 😉

Saturn retrograde 26 January, 2011

Think about what is going on in your relationship Life right now because you will most definitely be revisiting this time period right now that you are experiencing here in the Fall 2010 when Saturn in Libra returns to 10 degrees from May 18, 2011 until July 9, 2011. This will be a repeat of the past, which is for your benefit.

Remember, retrogrades are not a bad thing. They are a do-over and they allow you to do something over and do it right the next time. You may have to look at some past relationships in order to figure out the one you are in . . or to figure out the one you want to be in. The relationship many of you will have to look at in order to come to terms with relationships will be with that of your father since Saturn is the 'father figure' and 'authority figure' planet of the zodiac that basically says, "You don't get a reward until you learn the lesson." Saturn (the father) wants to reward but not if you cannot accept responsibility and self-imposed limitation that is for your own Good.

None of this is meant to be bad unless of course you need to rehash and puke up old relationships that you aren't over yet. Go ahead and rehash it and see how it works for you. So many people get into another relationship while they are still angry at the previous relationship. Why do you think we go through so many relationships in our lifetime. Relationships help us repair the first Love relationship introduced to us and then was the relationship of our parents. Just remember, you are an adult now and you get to say -- Who, what, when, where and why. It's a choice how you want relationships to play out. It's as simple as that.

Saturn turning retrograde will slow down the normal rate of activity so that better methods and strategies can be developed. Saturn rules the physical and psychological supports, structures and armatures in our life. It produces the rules and regulations by which we guide our lives, our sense of responsibility, and our limitations. It allows us to define boundaries for ourselves by saying NO! When Saturn is natally retrograde, this capacity does not function properly, making us insecure and unable to accurately assess what can realistically be expected in any situation. The most common flaw is the tendency to say YES when we should say NO, especially in activities and relationships ruled by Saturn??s house position.

Stress hits — do not make commitments on these dates: FEBRUARY 17-18 (Venus), MARCH 18 (Mercury), MARCH 27-31 (Jupiter), APRIL 17-18 (Saturn), APRIL 31 (Venus), APRIL 21-25 (Mercury Station)

During the period when Saturn is transiting retrograde, it is essential that we go back and assess and solidify commitments made, projects started and responsibilities undertaken in the past. This must be done before we can continue. Saturn transiting retrograde provides the opportunity to reassess what we have taken on, to finally say NO, to back out of a commitment and to improve the organization of a project. While the process is going on, while you are working with what you have at hand, you should be warned against taking on any unnecessary responsibilities or long-range commitments. Only deal with issues from the past; do not take on new ones!

Saturn turning retrograde gives us the opportunity to go back and reorganize or renegotiate any activities or commitments that seem to be a source of frustration. If you merely persist under Saturn frustrations, the frustrations will merely persist! Weed out the source of frustration at this time. Remember, my definition for being responsible is in knowing how much you can do before you start to feel frustrated, trapped or confined — and drawing the line and saying NO before you reach that point! It is essential that you do not start any new business activity while Saturn is retrograde!! You will only find that a lot of reorganizing has to be done before any successes can be made.
