Mercury retrograde in the year.

In astrology there is such a thing as the retrograde movement of planets. He is given Special attention. For hundreds of years, scientists have observed the influence of celestial bodies on all living things and came to the conclusion that several times a year certain planets begin to move backward. Of course, this is just an illusion, which is caused by the uneven movement of the Earth and other planets around the Sun.

However, it has been noticed that during these periods a person experiences inconvenience, unexpected troubles appear, the mood changes and, as a result, conflicts brew. You should not actively act on a retrograde planet, otherwise there will be failures. You need to take a passive position, and then, sooner or later, the necessary circumstances will ripen on their own.

That’s why it’s so important to look at the table of the movements of the heavenly bodies more often.
The movement of the planets, of course, is worth paying attention to, but it should not be interpreted as something of utmost importance. With the help of the forecast “Retrograde planets in 2017”, you can make adjustments to business endeavors and personal plans so that there is no unexpected fiasco in business or failures in relationships.

The movement of the planets in 2017 - what to pay attention to.

Retrograde motion can be observed in the movement of all planets. However, astrologers recommend adjusting personal plans according to the movement of only the two most influential planets - Mercury and Venus. Mars also belongs to this class, but in 2017 it does not enter the retrograde phase. You should also pay attention to Jupiter. For other planets and recommendations - just listen...

The retrograde of this planet is characterized by minor and annoying shortcomings, errors in financial and reporting documents, failures in any endeavors and fiasco in business.

This is the most worrying period. It concerns the political system and changes in it. For people, this means changes on a national scale, which, as history teaches, do not always end well. Nothing can be done about this, we can only hope that there won’t be a coup d’etat or anything like that.

Retrograde planets in 2017 do not bring danger or bloodshed, as was the case in 2016, when we saw firsthand the validity of the forecast for the movement of retrograde planets last year. However, you should not ignore the recommendations of astrologers regarding Venus and Mercury. Plan your affairs so that later you don’t have to lose heart over unfulfilled dreams or hopes. Good luck to you and happy 2017!

Based on an article by Elena Makhnina

Retrograde movement or backward movement is not the real, but the path of the planet visible from Earth. The retrograde effect occurs due to the difference in the speeds of the Earth and the planet relative to the Sun. If we don’t have to get used to it, it happens retrograde 3-4 times a year for 20 days, then a more rare occurrence, it happens retrograde once every 2 years, for 80 days. Social planets – Jupiter and higher planets– Uranus, Neptune and Pluto go retrograde every year. Let me remind you that the Sun and Moon are never retrograde. Below are all the retrograde periods of the planets in 2017, but in order to interpret them more accurately, you need to understand the specifics of retrograde periods and their phases.

When we interpret transit retrograde planet, we are dealing not only with the retrograde phase itself, but we are considering the entire retro period, which is called the “retrograde loop”. Retrograde loops of planets are longer periods of time than the distance from point R to point D. They cover the entire segment of the Zodiac in degrees along which the planet goes retrograde. The countdown of the retrograde loop begins from the moment when the still direct planet enters the degree of the sign to which it will return in its extreme point retrograde to turn back to direct movement - D.

Entering the retrograde phase, the planet slows down to stationary (stop - SR), and slowly turns around, returns along the recently passed segment of the sign - (R), so that at the end of the retrograde period, it stops again - (SD) and turns to direct (D) movement along a path already traversed twice.

Retrograde periods and decision making

In retrograde motion, the planet repeats its path along the same degrees of the Zodiac through which it has already passed in its direct motion. From an esoteric point of view, this is a return to the past, turning inward, rethinking the experience gained, slowing down in business. Therefore, when the fast planets are retrograde: , and , starting fundamentally new things and projects designed for the future is not recommended; such an undertaking comes with difficulties, complications, and does not give the result that a person expects. At a time like this they change external conditions, laws, circumstances, they will not remain the same and familiar, but they have not yet been determined. During the retro periods of personal planets, we do not have all the information necessary for an adequate assessment. It is not safe to draw final conclusions and make decisions at such a time - the situation, circumstances will change, and decision may turn out to be erroneous.

During retrograde periods, long-pending matters are often launched, which for various reasons were postponed and not resolved. At this time, there is a return to solving old problems and issues. The event itself may not occur directly on the loop, but it is formed on the loop and takes place after the retrograde phase. Under such conditions, this is the “safest” scenario for resolving issues and developing the situation.Making its way through one sector of the Zodiac three times, the planet poses a problem - during the first passage (1), calls for ways to solve it - during a retrograde passage (2) and gives a way out of the situation and a solution in a new way - during the third, direct passage through that the same area (3).

When the inner planets - Mercury and Venus - become retrograde, they begin to conjunct the Sun. The conjunction of retrogrades or with the Sun is an “inferior conjunction” - NS. This is a symbolic new moon, the beginning of their cycles with the Sun - a time of awareness of ongoing events on the topic of the planet, one’s behavior, one’s mental and communicative approaches (), or one’s emotional reactions, values ​​and attachments (). If during this period there are repetitions of already former troubles, it is necessary to think about their cause, and at the point of “lower connection” the answer will come, it will open new way solutions to problems on the topic of the planet, which we can use in the future. At the stage from the “lower connection” to the return to directivity (SD), all efforts must be directed to resolving old matters, repaying debts, and putting an end to lingering problems. The next stage of the retro-loop - from the beginning of directivity to exiting the loop - at this time there is a set of potential, preparation for new steps, thinking about new ideas on or awareness of emotional preferences, values ​​and ways to achieve internal harmony, ethical principles on. At this stage, you need to complete unresolved problems, relationships that need to be ended, since unresolved problems and deficiencies will move into the next cycle. The conjunction of the Sun with direct Mercury or Venus is the “upper conjunction” - BC - the symbolic full moon of the cycle.

When the outer planets - Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto become retrograde, they begin to go into opposition with the Sun. The planet's opposition to the Sun is the symbolic full moon phase of their cycle and an important transit period to pay attention to. The sun – “consciousness, individuality” and the principle of the planet, at this time are separated by poles in our consciousness. This is the culmination of the cycle of the planet and the Sun, and the culmination of themes and situations of this cycle, a period of awareness of non-constructive approaches, revision and identification of new approaches. This period provides an opportunity to realize which of our habitual reactions and ways of implementing the planet principle must be revised in order to remain adequate and effective.

During retro periods, repetition of the action may be successful. For example, a couple had a fictitious divorce and they entered into their remarriage on retro-Mercury. Since then, they have been living in a strong marriage for 21 years.

Introspection

When analyzing the transit of a personal retro planet according to the natal chart, the planetary status of the planets should be taken into account. Fast planets are “subordinate” to slow ones. A personal planet can implement the tasks set by the parallel transit of a slow planet, i.e. against the backdrop of social conditions created by the loops of slow planets - Jupiter, Saturn, etc., an opportunity is created for the event to be realized on a personal level.

It is important to observe during what exact transits of slow planets the aspect of the personal planet occurs in the retro-loop to the natal chart. Look at which house of your natal chart Mercury retrograde or Mars is transiting. Is there a conjunction with a natal planet, ASC or MC? What aspects will the planets make while in the loop and what events will occur in your life? All this will help you understand the transit cycle of Mercury and Mars in a more personalized way for you personally, and will be good practical experience in studying transits and in mastering forecasting techniques.

Retrograde periods of planets in 2017

Mercury retrograde periods 2017

Every year there are 3-4 retrograde periods of Mercury, and in 2017 there are a little over 3 of them. The beginning of 2017 will be the end of the retrograde period of Mercury, which began on December 19, 2016. The planet will move backward from Capricorn to Sagittarius and on January 8 at 09:38 will switch to direct motion. There will be three more retrograde transits of Mercury over the next months of the year. Now, in more detail about the dates of the beginning of retrograde and the transition to directness, as well as the dates of entry and exit from retro-loops (in the table the designation is R-loop).

April 20 at 17:38 retro Mercury returns to Aries
May 03, 2017 at 16:29 Mercury will become direct at 24°16" Aries – SD
May 21, 2017 Mercury exits the R-loop

August 13, 2017 at 01:56 at 11°38" Virgo – SR
September 05, 2017 at 11:24 am Mercury direct at 28°25" Leo – SD

Important aspects of Mercury in 2017:

Important aspects of Venus in 2017:

March 25 – retro Venus conjunct the Sun -"bottom connection"

Mars will not be retrograde in 2017

The next period of Mars retrograde will be in 2018 from June 26, 2018 at 09°12" Aquarius to August 27, 2018 at 28°36" Capricorn.

Important aspects of Mars in 2017:

Saturn will be retrograde in 2017 on April 6, when its reversal will finally end at 27 degrees Sagittarius. The retrograde motion of the planet will continue until August 26. On this day the planet will return to direct motion. This event will occur at 21 degrees Sagittarius.

Saturn is retrograde for about 4.5 months a year. To be precise - 140 days, plus for 10 days the planet is stationary (for several days it does not leave one degree of the Zodiac. This period is repeated twice: before moving into the retro phase, and then into direct movement). Retrograde Saturn in 2017 will repeat its path along the same degrees of Sagittarius that the planet has previously passed through while in the direct phase.

This period is an excellent opportunity to “work on mistakes,” reconsider your basic values ​​and set new life guidelines. Saturn is a social planet (just like Jupiter), therefore, when talking about the impact of retrograde Saturn on society in 2017, you need to keep in mind not immediate matters, but problems that have a long-term perspective.

Saturn in astrology is responsible for:

• clear structure,
• law and order,
• cooling of emotions,
• inhibition of action,
• limitation of opportunities.

He controls the legislative branch and the judicial system. When a planet goes retrograde, its influence on society changes. Even though it does not have such a clear influence on each of us as the personal planets: Mercury, Mars and Venus in the retro phase, it cannot be underestimated.

Impact of Saturn retrograde in 2017

During periods of retrograde motion of Saturn, the planet loses its ability to maintain its former boundaries. This deprives society and each of us of stability, structure and solidity. Retrograde Saturn in 2017 can be called a period of inhibition, delays and delays. Everything that previously seemed unshakable, clear and distinct changes its structure.

From the point of view of karmic astrology, the retrograde phase of Saturn is a chance to return to mistakes made in the past, rethink the experience gained, and abandon what weighs us down.

Considering that Saturn makes its reversal in the sign of Sagittarius, you should not engage in public debate on the topics of politics, religion and education, or particularly rely on academic success. It’s better to assess the situation from the outside, do charity work, spend time on introspection and self-knowledge.

The transit aspects of Saturn retrograde in 2017 will be most felt by those of us in whom natal charts the planets are at 20-27 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Pisces and Virgo, Aquarius, Libra, Leo and Aries.

Every planet in our solar system has periods of so-called retrograde. The time has come for Jupiter to change the direction of its movement, and therefore our mood.

Planets are patrons of the days of the week, but they influence our lives not at a strictly defined time, but constantly. During the period of normal movement their energy is one, and during the period of retrograde it is different. At the beginning of February 2017, Jupiter will go retrograde, which will bring us not only something favorable, but also certain problems.

What is retrograde

Any planet solar system has the property of retrograde. The usual principle of an observer who moves with at different speeds in relation to the object of observation. The Earth and Jupiter move at different speeds in their orbit, so it sometimes seems to us that the planet is moving first and then backward. One might think that this is not such an important nuance, but astrologers found out a long time ago that the retrograde of a particular planet can promise us problems in various areas of life.

The retrograde, that is, backward movement of Jupiter in 2017 began on February 5, and will end only on June 9. During these almost 5 months, it will be necessary to complete a lot of important tasks, because Jupiter is very demanding when moving backwards. Increase your energy so that retrograde Jupiter does not break you mentally. Daily affirmations, meditation, and simply positive thinking can help you with this.

Astrologers' warnings

Starting from February 5, it is worth paying attention to your spiritual life, because this is what Jupiter rules. This giant planet will remind us of who we really are. During this period, especially at the very beginning, strange thoughts may appear about where you are going in this life, what motivates you, and whether you are doing everything right. These are normal questions that require answers, so don't get depressed, don't shed tears, and don't withdraw into yourself. Help each other find themselves. Perhaps during Jupiter's retrograde motion in 2017, you will be able to understand the meaning of life or get very close to understanding it.

Singles may have a very difficult time during this period of time, because Jupiter moving in the opposite direction can force you to close inside yourself. Communication abilities will be greatly weakened, so you should not give in to animal instincts when it comes to love. Your career and business will be badly reflected love affairs. Try to approach new acquaintances with caution, because many people will be selfish towards you. The same applies to yourself - you shouldn’t be greedy and be big egoists. Show those around you that you know how to share success.

Beware of making quick decisions based on an intuitive assessment of the situation. You may have serious problems with intuition, because Jupiter, moving in the opposite direction, will confuse your cards until the very beginning of June. It will be possible to trust your sixth sense only in May and in the second half of March. It is these short periods of time that will help you restore balance in all areas of your life.

2017, the Year of the Fire Rooster, is a time of opportunity, so try not to succumb to depression during this period. Jupiter retrograde shouldn't force you to move in the opposite direction. Trust yourself and your loved ones, because during such periods it is very important to have a person you can rely on. Good luck and don't forget to press the buttons and

The point is that you will need to pay more attention to security.

Single people will need a cautious approach in love, since in the standard state Mercury helps to increase the charisma of courageous people. In the retrograde state of this planet, you will have less chances to make new acquaintances.

At work, mistakes are possible in the most important matters. The harder you try to focus on work, the harder it will be for you to do so. Try not to behave selfishly, because Mercury moving in the opposite direction wants to see in people a desire to help others.

The retrograde of this planet has a bad effect on attention and intelligence, so learning becomes difficult and the first days of school are more difficult. new job. If you are going on vacation from August 13 to September 5, then it is better to approach acclimatization issues as carefully as possible. It can be very difficult.

As for physical activity, it is better to follow the golden mean and not overwork your body. Water procedures and walks should replace the gym for you for a while. It is better to follow a daily routine and do not eat too fatty foods or fast food. Alcohol will also be unnecessary.

One way or another, Mercury at the end of this summer will not be as negative as could have been expected earlier. Astrologers are confident that the right approach will help you not only get through the end of August without problems, but also get rid of negative programs and thoughts that block your energy.
