When viewed from Earth, the planets and asteroids in our Solar System (with the exception of the Sun and Moon) sometimes appear to be moving backward in the sky. This phenomenon is known as retrogradation. These planets aren't actually reversing their orbit, it just looks that way in relation to the other planets. It's actually an optical illusion!
However, that doesn't mean the associated energy is also an illusion, far from it!! The energies turn strongly inward and slow things down, helping to illuminate your personal problematic karmic patterns and stumbling blocks in the area the particular planet represents, meaning you can resolve and heal them. You are not alone in this, we all have plenty of this type of inner work to do! You can find out what aspect each planet represents here.
So, the times when the planets go retrograde are simply an opportunity for profound change as they challenge your limits, raise your frequency and light, and help you to grow and evolve which is exactly what you are here to do. Spiritually and energetically this has a significant impact on us as individuals and the human collective.
Some view a planet going retrograde as a negative event, but here at The Natural Healer we choose to focus on the positive aspects and raise awareness about how beneficial these times can be. You get what we think about right?! Problems will only continue if you stay on autopilot and ignore all the signs that the Universe is giving you to expand and grow.
Anyone who has followed us for a while will know that we often talk about what is happening within the universe is also happening within you. As above, so below, as within, so without. This is no different and is probably one of the best scenarios to fully understand this concept.
Any planet going retrograde allows you to experience a significant period of reflection. It is a time to walk your path and do the inner work by aligning to what is happening in the Cosmos and acknowledging it within yourself so that you can navigate these energies with as much ease and grace as is humanly possible! Healing will then be the natural and spontaneous outcome of this process.
The planets that go retrograde do so for different lengths of time. Multiple planets can go retrograde at the same time and overlap, which creates an incredible level of intensity and is a real directive that the Universe is urging you to pay attention and go within. That is a time to really pay attention!
Love and retrograde blessings,
