MAJOR PLANETARY Aspects
of 2007

Please see FULL, NEW and Balsamic Moons on another article

Personal planets moving retrograde assist us to change processes.

Personal planets are Mercury, Venus and mars and they all retrograde in 2007 Which is a number 9 year of endings, how perfect is that?

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.

Mercury represents communications, our methods of thought and words and how we learn. With mercury retrograde last year 2006 3 times in Water signs, we are allowed a bit of grace this year. Mercury will retrograde 3 times in Water (emotions) again, but the break is that it will drop back into AIR (ideas) before it moves direct. Giving us many more options for learning and ideas outside of feelings. THIS WILL BE A WONDERFUL year for learning new processes through intuition and being OPEN

• Mercury retrograde Feb 13, 2007 retrograde 10 Degrees of Pisces, Backs into Aquarius (Air) on February 26, Direct March 7, 2007 25 Aquarius
• Mercury retrograde June 15th at 12 degrees of Cancer, Direct July 9th at 3 Degrees of Cancer
• Mercury retrograde October 12th at 9 Degrees of Scorpio, Backs into Libra
  (Air) October 23, Direct November 1 at 23 Libra

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 in Virgo will assist us with though processes and give greater healing energy to this planet than we have ever seen. WHEN it backs into LEO (fire) expect your heart to lead the way and show you the Next step.

• VENUS retrogrades July 27th at 3 Degrees of Virgo then backs into Leo on August 8th and moves Direct on September 8th at 17 Degrees of Leo

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. With mars retrograde in a water sign (Cancer) expect much more ability to connect to intuition, feelings and inner knowing. AND to be a bit more sensitive.

• Mars retrograde November 15 at 12 Degrees Of Cancer, Mars backs into the AIR (ideas) sign of Gemini December 31, Direct January 30, 2008 at 24 degrees of Gemini

Jupiter the planet of MORE moved in November 2006 into Sagittarius (fire, action and truth) Inspiring our visions to be BIGGER, better and GREATER than ever before… And will retrograde April 5 at 20 Sagittarius and move Direct August 6 at 10 Sagittarius. Jupiter will Leave Sagittarius and move into Capricorn on December 18th bringing more organization and Stability to your beliefs. ACT fast to change them RIGHT NOW if you are not happy with them before this happens.

Saturn moves retrograde December 5, 2006 at 25 Leo. This has been a time to listen to our hearts as Leo is fire and passion. When this planet moves Direct at 18 Leo on April 19th it will begin to move OUT of Leo for the next 29 years. Saturn moves into Virgo (earth) September 2nd giving us a greater chance to heal and process new information through the process of analysis. Saturn moves retrograde December 19th 2007 at 9 Virgo. May 02, 2008 Saturn moves direct at 2 degrees of Virgo.

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 June 23, at 19 degrees of Pisces
Direct November 24th at 15 degrees of Pisces.

Neptune the planet of intuition or confusion moves retrograde may 24, at 22 Aquarius And direct October 31st at 19 degrees of Aquarius.

Pluto the planet of transformation moves retrograde March 31st at 29 Sagittarius And direct September 7, at 26 Sagittarius. Pluto is finishing up a 12 year run in the sign of Sagittarius and getting ready to move to Capricorn land …when this happens December 2008 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..

Namaste,
