Happy Beltane (May 1st)

In May Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto are Retrograde.

Jupiter Retrograde March 8 at 23° Scorpio and ends on July 10 at 13° Scorpio

https://astrologyking.com/jupiter-retrograde/

Theme for this retrograde is detoxification and addressing issues that are holding back your personal and spiritual growth. This mismatching has the potential to affect your health. It is also affecting the ability in terms of wealth, love and good luck (Jupiter’s positive attributes) being able to manifest abundantly in your life.

The fixed star Unukalhai (rules the colon) pairing increases the likelihood of accidents and operations. Jupiter rules the liver. The Jupiter sextile Pluto (April 14, 2018) heralds success through positive change. (Facilitates the process of detoxification started on Full Moon of March 1st, 2018).

Saturn is retrograde in 2018 from April 17th to September 6th, 2018, in the sign of Capricorn.

http://www.lynnkoiner.com/astrology-articles/saturn-retrograde

Saturn rules the physical and psychological supports, structures and framework in our lives. During this retrograde any activities and commitments that are problematic can be restructured and long term commitments can be rearranged as activity slows down during this time. This is especially beneficial to those with Saturn in retrograde in their Natal chart where there is a tendency to say Yes when you shouldn’t agree to the terms involved. This tends to be in areas where Saturn is placed in the Astrological Houses. This is also not an ideal time to take on additional long term commitments.

Pluto is retrograde in 2018 from April 22nd to September 30th, 2018, in the sign of Capricorn.

http://www.lynnkoiner.com/astrology-articles/pluto-retrograde

This retrograde is an ideal time for concentration and seeing subconscious motivations.  The focus during this time is on the internal psyche and psychological issues that affect the body.  It can be a very healing time to recover from long term illnesses.  It is also a time to look at life patterns and revamp ways of thinking and attitudes that are unhelpful, especially in areas of personal power.
