Major Planetary Aspects 2009

Retrograde and planets into NEW SIGNS

2009 is a number 11 year of MASTER SPIRITUAL Partnerships. Dream the dream, (Neptune in Aquarius) get the vision using Uranus the planet of change in Pisces bringing more dreams and visions to us all. Jupiter in Capricorn moving January 5th into Aquarius bringing major shifts in the ways we learn and believe… Saturn in VIRGO all year asking us to discipline ourselves, learn to pare down and recognize that less can sometimes be more.

For us all the word Retrograde rather than to inspire fear is an opportunity to rethink …replan…reenvision…reapply…reconfigure….reconnect… repair our lives And maybe even catch up? NOT the time for new things which you want set in Stone. BUT neither is it a time to hide under a rock, move forward with your life and as in all that I write. DO as your inner guide and voice tells you with HARM to none and it will turn out wonderfully.

Personal Planets are:

  • The Sun which is the light and never goes retrograde
  • The moon which often represents the past and emotions and never goes retrograde
  • Mercury which represents ideas (retrogrades 3 times yearly)
  • Venus which represents what we love (retrogrades every other year)
  • Mars which is about action (retrogrades every other year)

Transpersonal planets which shift outer world events and all these planets and asteroids move retrograde every year:

  • Jupiter which is expansion and beliefs moves to Aquarius 1/5/2009
  • Saturn which represents accountability in Virgo until 10/29/2009 then in LIBRA
  • Uranus which is change in Pisces all year
  • Neptune illusion and the ability to see beyond reality in Aquarius all year
  • Pluto Transformation in Capricorn all year

Asteroids which create an new energy of equality and healing are:

  • Chiron the wounded healer  rx  5/30/2009 at 26 Aquarius, Direct 10/30/2009 at 21 Aquarius
  • Juno Equality in partnership August 9, 2009 at 4 Aries, Direct 11/3/2009 at 21 Pisces
  • Vesta which is sacred connection rx.  Jan 3, 2010 direct 4/6/2010 (no retrogrades in 2009)
  • Ceres which represents nurturing and love retrogrades January 11, 2009 at 13 Virgo and moves direct April 12, 2009 at 0 degrees of Virgo

MERCURY retrograde themes of 2009 are
AIR (ideas) and Earth (Building)

Mercury represents communications, our methods of thought and words and how we learn. With mercury retrograde 1/11/2009 at 8 Aquarius and direct 2/1/2009 at 21 Capricorn new methods of learning about our own gifts are possible during this time.

Mercury retrograde May 6, 2009 at 1 Gemini and direct 5/30/2009 at 23 Taurus brings learning and building together as we rethink plans with Gemini and begin to build anew with Taurus

Mercury retrograde 9/6/2009 at 6 Libra and direct 9/29/2009 at 21 Virgo brings relationships together with a strong desire for building (building seems the theme of 2009)

December 26, 2009 Mercury retrograde at 21 Capricorn and direct January 15, 2010 at 5 Capricorn brings the earth theme of what we wish to accomplish strongly into 2010.

2008 we entered the Time of AIR and New ideas and connections are very powerful if we were open to realizing the power of our own minds.   And Earth which is building.  Look for workshops and new ways to change your Mind, and thought pattern to change your life. 

2009 we begin to add Earth MUCH stronger  to the mix of ideas (air)  Capricorn is Cardinal earth and is about achievement out in the world and creating the outer world we want.  Virgo is Mutable earth  and Taurus is Fixed earth.


Only once every Other year Venus the planet of Love, romance, and the planet of what we LIKE moves retrograde. I NEVER …ever…would advise cosmetic surgery or a marriage during this time. Venus Retrograde 3/6/2009 at 15 Aries direct 4/17/2009 at 29 Pisces brings a Fire and water energy into our emotional life.  Action is fires realm and intuition is Water.

Only once every 2 and ½ years does Mars the planet of action move retrograde. This is always an interesting time for action since mars is the planet which rules how and when we act. Mars will moves retrograde again 12/20/2009  at 19 Leo and goes direct 3/10/2010 at 1 Leo.  This brings heart energy and the desire for a more heart centered life to all our relationships.

Jupiter the planet of MORE moved in December 2007 into Capricorn saying that NOW you have the dream and it is time to build upon it…   Jupiter will Leave Capricorn  and move into Aquarius January 05, 2009 and the shift towards a communal world is here. Jupiter into Aquarius is the RULE breaker and it is now a time for a year of major upheavals and shifts and changes within our existing beliefs.

Saturn moves retrograde December 19, 2007  at 9 degrees of Virgo. This has been a time to finally begin to get some concrete details about the next step.  What we are finding out may not be what we want to hear but the messages are strong.   When this planet moves Direct at 2 degrees of Virgo May 02, 2008  it will begin to give us much more concrete information. 

Saturn Remains in the sign of  Virgo (earth) Until it moves to Libra October 29, 2009.  Saturn in Virgo is giving us a greater chance to heal and process new information through the process of analysis and Saturn into Libra in 2009 will firm up world peace commitments and hopefully bring us more together with others in peaceful co existence.

The outer planets affect the world at large and stay retrograde a great deal of time…not to worry, they are trying to change the world while these other planets above are trying to change YOU personally.

Uranus the energy of change moves retrograde 6/30/2009 at 26 Pisces Direct 12/1/2009 at 22 Pisces working on connecting us to source and to create more changes within our lives based upon intuition, feelings and inner knowing.

Neptune the planet of intuition or confusion moves retrograde 5/28/2009 at 26 Aquarius and direct 11/4/2009 at 23 Aquarius

Pluto the planet of transformation IS the big news of the year. Pluto Entered the sign of Capricorn January 2008  for the first time in 260 years…
Pluto  moved retrograde April 02, 2008 at 1 degree of Capricorn
Then backed  into Sagittarius June 13th 2008
Then moved forward September 08, 2008 at 29 degrees of Sagittarius
And RE ENTERS Capricorn November 26, 2008 for the next 14 years.

(This is a huge shift for the planet and all of us on this planet)
With Pluto into Capricorn in 2009 for good our world will set into much more concrete form. SO, get ready right now and begin to build what you want in Form as we are shifting greatly on this planet and it is getting about time when we need to get down to work..

For the next 15 years expect world leaders, governments, finances, financial systems
And all the things which we value to undergo major shifts and changes.  Pluto in Capricorn asks us to step up and do what is RIGHT and proper and bring our governments back into line
As well as fiscal spending.

Pare down is the theme of 2009 and find people to share work, and dreams with as we change
Our beliefs of what we need to be happy and come into a more powerful connection with our
Own personal power.
