Retrograde Basics for Summer into Fall
/By Laura Michelle Powers: Celebrity Psychic, Author, and host of Healing Powers Podcast
It’s another retrograde season and for some reason, you may experience your computer crashing, or accidentally erasing a document. Retrogrades tend to attract fear but that doesn’t mean they don’t provoke complications. If you are interested in knowing how to prepare for it, we can talk about the planets that are retrograde in June 2021 and going onwards into the fall. This month involves quite a few retrogrades and five to be exact. Although not all of them will bring the same level of intensity, retrogrades really mean something different and it’s important to make sure that we know their differences.
Mercury, Venus and Mars - their retrogrades are annoying to your day-to-day life. These inner planets move more quickly through the zodiac and lead to an intense impact on the short-term aspects of your life. For the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto), their retrogrades are less noticeable in which there are times that you barely notice them. This is because the outer planets are already retrograde for up to half of the time. The effects of these retrogrades take longer to process and have a large impact on your growth over a long span of time.
5 Planets Will Be Retrograde In June 2021
Pluto Retrograde (April 27 to Oct. 6)
The planet of transformation, power, and destruction — a planet that loves to bring control and obtain power. Pluto works like a building demolition who blows up whatever is false in order to restore it from the ground up.
Saturn Retrograde (May 23 to Oct. 10)
Saturn retrograde is not something to be afraid of. In some other ways, it is something to be acknowledged. It’s because Saturn is the planet of discipline, structure, and tradition. It tends to challenge and push you to work harder. Do not let others pressure you that may result in you feeling uncomfortable. It’s time to let go of your negative thinking and it’s time to bring in healthy boundaries.
Mercury Retrograde (May 29 to June 22)
Mercury is the planet of communication, cognitive function, and logic. It is usually blamed for frustrating things in our day-to-day life like miscommunications, sending the wrong message to the wrong person, travel delays, annoying disagreement but really, it’s actually a good time to take a pause and reflect on how we interact with others and how we handle life’s ups and downs.
Jupiter Retrograde (June 20 to Oct. 18)
Jupiter, the planet of adventure, philosophy, expansion, and abundance. It is all about growth and opportunity. If you have a habit that is out of control, this retrograde gives you the chance to manage and overcome addictions, negative habits that no longer serve your highest good.
Neptune Retrograde (June 25 to Dec. 1)
Neptune is the planet of fantasies and illusions. It is also called the spiritual planet. This planet can convince you that something is real, even if it’s only imaginary. Some of your own illusions will crumble down and this retrograde will help you see things in a more realistic way.
Knowing about these astrological alignments can often help us have a better understanding of the themes or patterns that are coming up on our lives. Remember that whenever things feel challenging, there is something we are being guided to shift and learn from the experience and there is always a hidden blessing or in some cases multiple blessings.
Wishing you peace and ease during these retrogrades.
