Retrograde Alert: Why the Planets Are Making You Pause and Reflect

Retracing Your Steps: July 13-20 2025 – Neptune, Saturn and Mercury all Retrograde

Going Back for a Closer Look

Retracing Your Steps: July 13-20 2025 - Neptune, Saturn and Mercury all RetrogradeLorna Bevan – It’s time to take a pause, a deep inbreath. It’s time to stop running towards the next moment and engage with this one.

Like it or not, we are not meant to push forward now, but being driven to turn inward by the flux and churn of 5 planets (!) stationing Retrograde this month: first Neptune on July 4th, Saturn on the 13th, Mercury on the 18th, Eris on the 22nd and Chiron on the 30th.

This is not theoretical – if you push blindly ahead, concrete circumstances outside your control will conspire to make you put the brakes on.

The Turning/Returning starts this week with Neptune and Saturn retrograding on the Aries Point and ends in November/ December with both moving forward on the Master degrees of Pisces. Continue reading

Turning Inward

Turning InwardLorna Bevan – On September 3rd Venus turns direct in Leo after 7 weeks in the wilderness. She has backtracked from 28° – 12° Leo and between now and October 10 will re-activate these degrees for the 3rd time wherever they are in your chart. Since July 23rd when the Goddess disappeared into the wilderness, you have been faced with aspects of yourself that you normally keep well hidden. Now it’s time to start looking at what you’ve learned from pattern spotting self-sabotaging habits of intimacy, money and self-worth.

At the same time Jupiter stations retrograde until December 31st joining an unusual confluence of no fewer than 7 retrograde planets – Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Chiron, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. 3 of the most recent retrogrades – Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus – are in Earth signs Virgo and Taurus.

A March Month of Mysticism and Self-Reflection

marchHenry Seltzer – The March month brings along with it, early in the month, a potent Pisces New Moon, another introspective retrograde of Mercury that is also associated with Pisces, contained entirely within that sign, and the Spring Equinox –properly called the Aries Equinox in the Southern hemisphere – that features a Full Moon later that evening.

This is another quite significant lunation, bringing Chiron and Uranus into the picture of this important seasonal configuration. Indeed, there are several astrological indicators for a rather crazy time, beginning with the Pisces New Moon of March 6th in almost exact conjunction with Neptune. We also note that, coincident with the March 6th New Moon, Uranus enters the first degree of Taurus, this time planning to stay.
