Thanks for reading the December Tarotscope. In addition to knowing your Sun Sign, knowing your Moon and Rising sign is useful for a more in-depth reading. This can be found out by knowing the time and place of your birth. Sites like Astrodienst and Astrology.com offer free birth charts. Once these are known read the corresponding Astrological sign reading.

Hope everyone has a happy and Blessed Yule, December 21st or Litha for those in the Southern Hemisphere.

There are two planets in Retrograde for December (Mercury starting on December 3rd and Uranus) as well as Chiron in Reverse in Pisces which starts to move forward on December 4th.

Chiron (Wounded Healer) in Reverse in Pisces from July 1st to December 4th 2017

http://www.evolvingdoor.ca/miscarticles/chiron-in-pisces.htm

During this time wounded people may be drawn to you. It is important to practice self-care during this transit when helping others as you may find it to be extra draining on you. This transit is also associated with great creativity and enlightenment that manifests itself in a healing and fulfilling way.

Knowing where these planets are in your birth chart can help in anticipating which areas of your life might have difficulties. Saturn retrogrades are associated with fated life lessons.

Uranus Retrograde 2017 starts on August 3, 2017 at 28° Aries and stations direct on January 2, 2018 at 24° Aries.                                                         

http://astrologyking.com/uranus-retrograde/

During this retrograde internal changes needed in attitude to make external changes desired are favoured.  This transit allows for internal processing needed to make outward changes especially for things associated with more personal freedom.  On a societal level there will be a move away from the far right when Uranus turns forward with more open trading and fairer dealings for the vulnerable and issues associated with a healing focus for mental illness.

Full Moon At 11°40′ Gemini Sign December 3rd

https://astrologyking.com/full-moon-december-2017/

This full moon combined with Mercury going into retrograde designates caution against misrepresentation which can include thievery, slurs and vulnerability for mental and physical bouts of ill health.

Mercury retrograde 2017 starts on December 3 at 29° Sagittarius and ends on December 22 at 13° Sagittarius.

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

Time especially appropriate for uncovering truths and study ancient knowledge.  Travel will be difficult and it may be a time of sadness and receiving unpleasant news. Mercury aligns with an esoteric star Etamin in the right eye Constellation Draco the Dragon and turns direct in the left eye star Alwaid.

Thanks for reading the November Tarotscope. In addition to knowing your Sun Sign, knowing your Moon and Rising sign is useful for a more in-depth reading. This can be found out by knowing the time and place of your birth. Sites like Astrodienst and Astrology.com offer free birth charts. Once these are known read the corresponding Astrological sign reading.

Hope everyone has a nice Halloween (Samhain) October 30th or Beltaine for those in the Southern Hemisphere.

There are two planets in Retrograde for October (Neptune and Uranus) as well as Chiron in Reverse in Pisces.  Neptune starts to move forward November 22nd so only one planet will be in reverse then before Mercury goes retrograde in December.

Neptune Retrograde June 16 2017 at 16° Pisces and ends on 22 November 2017 at 11° Pisces

http://astrologyking.com/neptune-retrograde/

During this retrograde, especially for those with a Neptune retrograde in the natal chart, it is a time associated with Karmic repercussions and soul growth.  This planet’s retrograde is also associated with pandemic illnesses (from the time of the full moon on the 9th of June) and personal emotional torture such as gossip, scandal, and slander as well as religious persecution.  It is important to take extra precautions for personal hygiene and protecting oneself in social situations. A Neptune retrograde when combined with the Saturn and Pluto retrogrades indicates a time associated with the misuse of power.

Neptune retrogrades are also a time of clearing of illusions to reveal the true state, which can be painful.  During this retrograde it is an ideal time for doing a detox, meditation and Yoga, all things that help strengthen the access to the higher self.  Suspicions may prove to be accurate and second opinions may be needed medically as it is a time of more likely misdiagnosis. It is also recommended to use herbal remedies such as Parsley as well as eating Pomegranates and oranges to strengthen the immune system. (always check for any contraindication when using herbal remedies, especially for medical conditions and when taking other herbal remedies or prescription medications).

Lynn Koiner, another astrologer, also advises the focus is more internal during a Neptune Retrograde which can be beneficial because it makes any outstanding issues easier to see than when Neptune is in direct.  Avoiding stimulants, chemicals and drugs during this time is important as well as avoiding drama triggers that drain energies such as addictive personalities, psychic hot spots and drama queens. She suggests using black tourmaline to protect against negative influences and psychic attacks.

Chiron (Wounded Healer) in Reverse in Pisces from July 1st to December 4th 2017

http://www.evolvingdoor.ca/miscarticles/chiron-in-pisces.htm

During this time wounded people may be drawn to you. It is important to practice self-care during this transit when helping others as you may find it to be extra draining on you. This transit is also associated with great creativity and enlightenment that manifests itself in a healing and fulfilling way.

Knowing where these planets are in your birth chart can help in anticipating which areas of your life might have difficulties. Saturn retrogrades are associated with fated life lessons.

Uranus Retrograde 2017 starts on August 3, 2017 at 28° Aries and stations direct on January 2, 2018 at 24° Aries.     

http://astrologyking.com/uranus-retrograde/

During this retrograde internal changes needed in attitude to make external changes desired are favoured.  This transit allows for internal processing needed to make outward changes especially for things associated with more personal freedom.  On a societal level there will be a move away from the far right when Uranus turns forward with more open trading and fairer dealings for the vulnerable and issues associated with a healing focus for mental illness.

Thanks for reading the October Tarotscope. In addition to knowing your Sun Sign, knowing your Moon and Rising sign is useful for a more in-depth reading. This can be found out by knowing the time and place of your birth. Sites like Astrodienst and Astrology.com offer free birth charts. Once these are known read the corresponding Astrological sign reading.

Hope everyone has a nice Halloween (Samhain) October 31st or Beltaine for those in the Southern Hemisphere.

The full moon on the October 5th is in 12° Aries and indicates the importance of communication and fate versus free will. The influence of the full moon lasts two weeks and is traditionally a time of completion of goals begun at the New Moon. See more information in Jamie Partridge’s article which also includes a chart reading of the situation with North Korea. https://astrologyking.com/full-moon-october-2017/

There are two planets in Retrograde for October (Neptune and Uranus) as well as Chiron in Reverse in Pisces.

Neptune Retrograde June 16 2017 at 16° Pisces and ends on 22 November 2017 at 11° Pisces

http://astrologyking.com/neptune-retrograde/

During this retrograde, especially for those with a Neptune retrograde in the natal chart, it is a time associated with Karmic repercussions and soul growth.  This planet’s retrograde is also associated with pandemic illnesses (from the time of the full moon on the 9th of June) and personal emotional torture such as gossip, scandal, and slander as well as religious persecution.  It is important to take extra precautions for personal hygiene and protecting oneself in social situations. A Neptune retrograde when combined with the Saturn and Pluto retrogrades indicates a time associated with the misuse of power.

Neptune retrogrades are also a time of clearing of illusions to reveal the true state, which can be painful.  During this retrograde it is an ideal time for doing a detox, meditation and Yoga, all things that help strengthen the access to the higher self.  Suspicions may prove to be accurate and second opinions may be needed medically as it is a time of more likely misdiagnosis. It is also recommended to use herbal remedies such as Parsley as well as eating Pomegranates and oranges to strengthen the immune system. (always check for any contraindication when using herbal remedies, especially for medical conditions and when taking other herbal remedies or prescription medications).

Lynn Koiner, another astrologer, also advises the focus is more internal during a Neptune Retrograde which can be beneficial because it makes any outstanding issues easier to see than when Neptune is in direct.  Avoiding stimulants, chemicals and drugs during this time is important as well as avoiding drama triggers that drain energies such as addictive personalities, psychic hot spots and drama queens. She suggests using black tourmaline to protect against negative influences and psychic attacks.

Chiron (Wounded Healer) in Reverse in Pisces from July 1st to December 4th 2017

http://www.evolvingdoor.ca/miscarticles/chiron-in-pisces.htm

During this time wounded people may be drawn to you. It is important to practice self-care during this transit when helping others as you may find it to be extra draining on you. This transit is also associated with great creativity and enlightenment that manifests itself in a healing and fulfilling way.

Knowing where these planets are in your birth chart can help in anticipating which areas of your life might have difficulties. Saturn retrogrades are associated with fated life lessons.

Uranus Retrograde 2017 starts on August 3, 2017 at 28° Aries and stations direct on January 2, 2018 at 24° Aries.                                                          http://astrologyking.com/uranus-retrograde/

During this retrograde internal changes needed in attitude to make external changes desired are favoured.  This transit allows for internal processing needed to make outward changes especially for things associated with more personal freedom.  On a societal level there will be a move away from the far right when Uranus turns forward with more open trading and fairer dealings for the vulnerable and issues associated with a healing focus for mental illness.

Hope everyone has a nice Autumn Equinox, Mabon (September 22nd) or Ostara for those in the Southern Hemisphere.

There are four planets in Retrograde for September (Pluto, Neptune, Uranus and Mercury) as well as Chiron in Reverse in Pisces. Mercury turns forward on September 5th and Pluto starts to turn forward September 28th so then there will be two planets in retrograde.

Pluto Retrograde – April 20 at 19° Capricorn and ends on September 28 at 16° Capricorn. 

http://astrologyking.com/pluto-retrograde/

This is a time to focus on removing barriers to growth.  Combined with the Jupiter Retrograde issues of greed, excess, faith or ideology are most like to be problematic.  A reoccurring set of circumstances may occur with a Pluto retrograde until lessons are learned.  Fear of loss of control or being manipulated or betrayed may lead to increased psychic development when Pluto in retrograde is in the birth chart. During this time power and control are important issues and need to be eliminated.  Overcoming addictions or destructive behavior will help spiritual advancement.

Neptune Retrograde June 16 2017 at 16° Pisces and ends on 22 November 2017 at 11° Pisces

During this retrograde, especially for those with a Neptune retrograde in the natal chart, it is a time associated with Karmic repercussions and soul growth.  This planet’s retrograde is also associated with pandemic illnesses (from the time of the full moon on the 9th of June) and personal emotional torture such as gossip, scandal, and slander as well as religious persecution.  It is important to take extra precautions for personal hygiene and protecting oneself in social situations. A Neptune retrograde when combined with the Saturn and Pluto retrogrades indicates a time associated with the misuse of power.

Neptune retrogrades are also a time of clearing of illusions to reveal the true state, which can be painful.  During this retrograde it is an ideal time for doing a detox, meditation and Yoga, all things that help strengthen the access to the higher self.  Suspicions may prove to be accurate and second opinions may be needed medically as it is a time of more likely misdiagnosis. It is also recommended to use herbal remedies such as Parsley as well as eating Pomegranates and oranges to strengthen the immune system. (always check for any contraindication when using herbal remedies, especially for medical conditions and when taking other herbal remedies or prescription medications).

Lynn Koiner, another astrologer, also advises the focus is more internal during a Neptune Retrograde which can be beneficial because it makes any outstanding issues easier to see than when Neptune is in direct.  Avoiding stimulants, chemicals and drugs during this time is important as well as avoiding drama triggers that drain energies such as addictive personalities, psychic hot spots and drama queens. She suggests using black tourmaline to protect against negative influences and psychic attacks.

Chiron (Wounded Healer) in Reverse in Pisces from July 1st to December 4th 2017

http://www.evolvingdoor.ca/miscarticles/chiron-in-pisces.htm

During this time wounded people may be drawn to you. It is important to practice self-care during this transit when helping others as you may find it to be extra draining on you. This transit is also associated with great creativity and enlightenment that manifests itself in a healing and fulfilling way.

Knowing where these planets are in your birth chart can help in anticipating which areas of your life might have difficulties. Saturn retrogrades are associated with fated life lessons.

Uranus Retrograde 2017 starts on August 3, 2017 at 28° Aries and stations direct on January 2, 2018 at 24° Aries.                                                          

http://astrologyking.com/uranus-retrograde/

During this retrograde internal changes needed in attitude to make external changes desired are favoured.  This transit allows for internal processing needed to make outward changes especially for things associated with more personal freedom.  On a societal level there will be a move away from the far right when Uranus turns forward with more open trading and fairer dealings for the vulnerable and issues associated with a healing focus for mental illness.

Mercury retrograde 2017 starts on August 12 at 11° Virgo and ends on September 5 at 28° Leo.

http://astrologyking.com/mercury-retrograde/

Hope everyone has a nice Lammas (August 1st) or Imbolc for those in the Southern Hemisphere.

There are five planets in Retrograde for August (Pluto, Saturn and Neptune and then Uranus and Mercury) as well as Chiron in Reverse in Pisces. Saturn starts to turn direct on August 25th so then there will be four planets in retrograde.

Pluto Retrograde  April 20 at 19° Capricorn and ends on September 28 at 16° Capricorn. 

http://astrologyking.com/pluto-retrograde/

This is a time to focus on removing barriers to growth.  Combined with the Jupiter Retrograde issues of greed, excess, faith or ideology are most like to be problematic.  A reoccurring set of circumstances may occur with a Pluto retrograde until lessons are learned.  Fear of loss of control or being manipulated or betrayed may lead to increased psychic development when Pluto in retrograde is in the birth chart. During this time power and control are important issues and need to be eliminated.  Overcoming addictions or destructive behavior will help spiritual advancement.

Saturn Retrograde April 6 at 27° Sagittarius and stations direct on August 25 at 21° Sagittarius.

http://astrologyking.com/saturn-retrograde/

During this retrograde restriction, limitation; anxiety and fear are issues to be dealt with as well as enhancing the capacity for dealing with increased responsibilities. Depression or isolation may be issues needing solutions and if not dealt with and may require drastic actions to do begin the process.

Neptune Retrograde  June 16 2017 at 16° Pisces and ends on 22 November 2017 at 11° Pisces

http://astrologyking.com/neptune-retrograde/

During this retrograde, especially for those with a Neptune retrograde in the natal chart, it is a time associated with Karmic repercussions and soul growth.  This planet’s retrograde is also associated with pandemic illnesses (from the time of the full moon on the 9th of June) and personal emotional torture such as gossip, scandal, and slander as well as religious persecution.  It is important to take extra precautions for personal hygiene and protecting oneself in social situations. A Neptune retrograde when combined with the Saturn and Pluto retrogrades indicates a time associated with the misuse of power.

Neptune retrogrades are also a time of clearing of illusions to reveal the true state, which can be painful.  During this retrograde it is an ideal time for doing a detox, meditation and Yoga, all things that help strengthen the access to the higher self.  Suspicions may prove to be accurate and second opinions may be needed medically as it is a time of more likely misdiagnosis. It is also recommended to use herbal remedies such as Parsley as well as eating Pomegranates and oranges to strengthen the immune system. (always check for any contraindication when using herbal remedies, especially for medical conditions and when taking other herbal remedies or prescription medications).

Lynn Koiner, another astrologer, also advises the focus is more internal during a Neptune Retrograde which can be beneficial because it makes any outstanding issues easier to see than when Neptune is in direct.  Avoiding stimulants, chemicals and drugs during this time is important as well as avoiding drama triggers that drain energies such as addictive personalities, psychic hot spots and drama queens. She suggests using black tourmaline to protect against negative influences and psychic attacks.

Chiron (Wounded Healer) in Reverse in Pisces from July 1st to December 4th 2017

http://www.evolvingdoor.ca/miscarticles/chiron-in-pisces.htm

During this time wounded people may be drawn to you. It is important to practice self-care during this transit when helping others as you may find it to be extra draining on you. This transit is also associated with great creativity and enlightenment that manifests itself in a healing and fulfilling way.

Knowing where these planets are in your birth chart can help in anticipating which areas of your life might have difficulties. Saturn retrogrades are associated with fated life lessons.

Uranus Retrograde 2017 starts on August 3, 2017 at 28° Aries and stations direct on January 2, 2018 at 24° Aries.

http://astrologyking.com/uranus-retrograde/

During this retrograde internal changes needed in attitude to make external changes desired are favoured.  This transit allows for internal processing needed to make outward changes especially for things associated with more personal freedom.  On a societal level there will be a move away from the far right when Uranus turns forward with more open trading and fairer dealings for the vulnerable and issues associated with a healing focus for mental illness.

Mercury retrograde 2017 starts on August 12 at 11° Virgo and ends on September 5 at 28° Leo.

http://astrologyking.com/mercury-retrograde/

Mercury retrograde affects thoughts (with an increase in the negative), communications, travel and electronics. Reactions needed to be checked to prevent misunderstandings and hostility. Trust issues are especially highlighted during this transit.

Thanks for reading the June Tarotscope. In addition to knowing your Sun Sign, knowing your Moon and Rising sign is useful for a more in-depth reading. This can be found out by knowing the time and place of your birth. Sites like Astrodienst and Astrology.com offer free birth charts. Once these are known read the corresponding Astrological sign reading.

Hope everyone has a nice Summer Solstice (June 21st) or Yule for those in the Southern Hemisphere.

There are three planets in Retrograde for the beginning of June (Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn) and then two planets will be in retrograde as Jupiter retrograde ends June 9th, Pluto and Saturn.  Then we are back to three planets in retrograde when Neptune goes into retrograde on June 16th.

Jupiter RetrogradeJupiter stations retrograde 6 February 2017 at 23 degrees 8 minutes Libra.  Jupiter stations direct on the 9 June 2017 at 13 degrees 13 minutes Libra. 

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

During this retrograde there is a chance to turns challenges into opportunities for success.  There is a greater need for personal freedom and a need to have fun.  Enjoyment can be achieved through education, travel and new relationships.  Find creative ways to overcome boredom without being self-destructive.  This is also a time of spiritual growth.  The changes made will be a smooth and lasting transition with careful planning which can include career advancements.

Pluto Retrograde – April 20 at 19° Capricorn and ends on September 28 at 16° Capricorn. 

http://astrologyking.com/pluto-retrograde/

This is a time to focus on removing barriers to growth.  Combined with the Jupiter Retrograde issues of greed, excess, faith or ideology are most like to be problematic.  A reoccurring set of circumstances may occur with a Pluto retrograde until lessons are learned.  Fear of loss of control or being manipulated or betrayed may lead to increased psychic development when Pluto in retrograde is in the birth chart. During this time power and control are important issues and need to be eliminated.  Overcoming addictions or destructive behavior will help spiritual advancement.

Saturn RetrogradeApril 6 at 27° Sagittarius and stations direct on August 25 at 21° Sagittarius.

http://astrologyking.com/saturn-retrograde/

During this retrograde restriction, limitation; anxiety and fear are issues to be dealt

with as well as enhancing the capacity for dealing with increased responsibilities. Depression or isolation may be issues needing solutions and if not dealt with and may require drastic actions to do begin the process.

Neptune Retrograde – June 16 2017 at 16° Pisces and ends on 22 November 2017 at 11° Pisces

http://astrologyking.com/neptune-retrograde/

During this retrograde, especially for those with a Neptune retrograde in the natal chart, it is a time associated with Karmic repercussions and soul growth.  This planet’s retrograde is also associated with pandemic illnesses (from the time of the full moon on the 9th of June) and personal emotional torture such as gossip, scandal, and slander as well as religious persecution.  It is important to take extra precautions for personal hygiene and protecting oneself in social situations. A Neptune retrograde when combined with the Saturn and Pluto retrogrades indicates a time associated with the misuse of power.

Neptune retrogrades are also a time of clearing of illusions to reveal the true state, which can be painful.  During this retrograde it is an ideal time for doing a detox, meditation and Yoga, all things that help strengthen the access to the higher self.  Suspicions may prove to be accurate and second opinions may be needed medically as it is a time of more likely misdiagnosis. It is also recommended to use herbal remedies such as Parsley as well as eating Pomegranates and oranges to strengthen the immune system. (always check for any contraindication when using herbal remedies, especially for medical conditions and when taking other herbal remedies or prescription medications).

Lynn Koiner, another astrologer, also advises the focus is more internal during a Neptune Retrograde which can be beneficial because it makes any outstanding issues easier to see than when Neptune is in direct.  Avoiding stimulants, chemicals and drugs during this time is important as well as avoiding drama triggers that drain energies such as addictive personalities, psychic hot spots and drama queens. She suggests using black tourmaline to protect against negative influences and psychic attacks.

Knowing where these planets are in your birth chart can help in anticipating which areas of your life might have difficulties. Saturn retrogrades are associated with fated life lessons.

Thanks for reading the April Tarotscope. In addition to knowing your Sun Sign, knowing your Moon and Rising sign is useful for a more in-depth reading. This can be found out by knowing the time and place of your birth. Sites like Astrodienst and Astrology.com offer free birth charts. Once these are known read the corresponding Astrological sign reading.

Hope everyone has a nice Beltaine, (May 1st) or Samhain for those in the Southern Hemisphere.

There are two planets in Retrograde for the beginning of April (Jupiter and Venus) and then four planets will be in retrograde:  Mercury, Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn.

Jupiter Retrograde – Jupiter stations retrograde 6 February 2017 at 23 degrees 8 minutes Libra.  Jupiter stations direct on the 9 June 2017 at 13 degrees 13 minutes Libra.  http://astrologyking.com/jupiter-retrograde/   During this retrograde there is a chance to turns challenges into opportunities for success.  There is a greater need for personal freedom and a need to have fun.  Enjoyment can be achieved through education, travel and new relationships.  Find creative ways to overcome boredom without being self-destructive.  This is also a time of spiritual growth.  The changes made will be a smooth and lasting transition with careful planning which can include career advancements.

Venus Retrograde – Venus retrograde March 4 at 13° Aries and ends on April 15 at 27° Pisces http://astrologyking.com/venus-retrograde/ A six week period of potential excitement in love with whirl-wind romances and desire for luxury money purchases and fast money making and money lost schemes.  Care needs to be taken in making decisions, especially in love matters where lust over love will be regretted at the end of this time period and old flames may reappear. Relationships started before the March 4th retrograde can be given a boost at this time. Self-love is especially important at this time when self-care can be neglected or over enhanced in looks that aren’t natural. Traditionally this retrograde is not a good time to make large purchases or investments.

Mercury Retrograde – April 9 at 4° Taurus and ends on May 3 at 24° Aries http://astrologyking.com/mercury-retrograde/ During this retrograde time decisions on whether to follow your heart or your mind may involve difficult decisions.  If possible delay decisions till Mercury turns direct when there are more opportunities for action and clearer thinking are more likely.  Special take needs to be taken in love and money issues, signing contracts (unscrupulous situations), electronics (failures) and travel plans (delays) may be experienced at this time.

Pluto RetrogradeApril 20 at 19° Capricorn and ends on September 28 at 16° Capricorn.  http://astrologyking.com/pluto-retrograde/ This is a time to focus on removing barriers to growth.  Combined with the Jupiter Retrograde issues of greed, excess, faith or ideology are most like to be problematic.  A reoccurring set of circumstances may occur with a Pluto retrograde until lessons are learned.  Fear of loss of control or being manipulated or betrayed may lead to increased psychic development when Pluto in retrograde is in the birth chart. During this time power and control are important issues and need to be eliminated.  Overcoming addictions or destructive behavior will help spiritual advancement.

Saturn Retrograde – April 6 at 27° Sagittarius and stations direct on August 25 at 21° Sagittarius.  http://astrologyking.com/saturn-retrograde/ During this retrograde restriction, limitation; anxiety and fear are issues to be dealt with as well as enhancing the capacity for dealing with increased responsibilities.  Depression or isolation may be issues needing solutions and if not dealt with may require drastic actions to be done to begin the process.

Knowing where these planets are in your birth chart can help in anticipating which areas of your life might have difficulties. Mercury retrogrades in the Natal Chart indicate Karma issues and Saturn retrogrades are associated with fated life lessons.

There are two planets in Retrograde for March.

Jupiter Retrograde – Jupiter stations retrograde 6 February 2017 at 23 degrees 8 minutes Libra.  Jupiter stations direct on the 9 June 2017 at 13 degrees 13 minutes Libra.  http://astrologyking.com/jupiter-retrograde/   During this retrograde there is a chance to turns challenges into opportunities for success.  There is a greater need for personal freedom and a need to have fun.  Enjoyment can be achieved through education, travel and new relationships.  Find creative ways to overcome boredom without being self-destructive.  This is also a time of spiritual growth.  The changes made will be a smooth and lasting transition with careful planning which can include career advancements.

Venus Retrograde – Venus retrograde March 4 at 13° Aries and ends on April 15 at 27° Pisces http://astrologyking.com/venus-retrograde/ A six week period of potential excitement in love with whirl-wind romances and desire for luxury money purchases and fast money making and money lost schemes.  Care needs to be taken in making decisions, especially in love matters where lust over love will be regretted at the end of this time period and old flames may reappear. Relationships started before the March 4th retrograde can be given a boost at this time. Self-love is especially important at this time when self-care can be neglected or over enhanced in looks that aren’t natural. Traditionally this retrograde is not a good time to make large purchases or investments.

Knowing where these planets are in your birth chart can help in anticipating which areas of your life might have difficulties.
