Influence of retrograde planets in the year. Astropsychologist: Retrograde Mercury and other misfortunes of September

from 5 to 26 January 2016.

In Astrology, there is such a thing as a RETROGRADE Planet, when it seems to an observer from the Earth that the Planet has begun to move back, in the opposite direction. In fact, of course, this does not happen - the planets always move in the same direction. It's just that at some point the speed of one Planet slows down compared to the speed of other Planets - and a feeling of reverse movement is created.

To make it clearer - the Retrograde movement of the Planets can be compared with two moving objects - a car and a bicycle. The speed of the car, of course, is greater than the speed of the cyclist. Therefore, when a car overtakes and overtakes a cyclist - it seems to the passenger sitting in the car that the cyclist is moving backwards - although he is also riding, his speed is simply much less than the speed of the car. Same with the planets.

This Retrograde movement of the Planets has a very big impact on people living on Earth. All planets are retrograde, except for the Sun and Moon.

Mercury is RETROGRADE three, four times a year for about 20 days.

Mercury will retrograde 4 times in 2016:

* from 5 to 26 January 2016

* April 28 to May 22, 2016

* from August 30 to September 22, 2016

* from December 19, 2016 to January 8, 2017

What happens to people when Mercury starts moving backwards?

In Astrology Mercury responsible for intelligence, thoughts, speech, writing, contacts, negotiations, papers, documents, information, study, travel, family ties and trade. Therefore, all processes associated with this - will be slow down, "go back", linger. Therefore, be extremely careful in these areas during Mercury Retrograde.

What NOT to do on Mercury Retrograde:

• Various obstacles in business (especially in trade), deceleration of business life, breakdowns in negotiations, cancellation of agreements are likely. Take it easy, business activity will pick up once Mercury stops its Retrograde and goes direct again.


• Therefore, if possible, postpone the signing of important contracts and documents, because. contracts concluded during this period may run into constant difficulties, transactions may be canceled for no apparent reason. If it is impossible to postpone the signing, re-read and check everything several times. the likelihood of misunderstandings and errors is very high.


• Be attentive to all papers, documents, letters and parcels - there is a possibility of their damage or loss. There may be confusion in the papers.


• There is a possibility of delays in payments, or confusion in payments. Check each letter and number carefully.


• Do not start issuing passports and other documents - this process can take a long time, there will be errors, difficulties, repeated alterations, losses, misunderstandings, etc.


• Negotiations can break down or go in a completely unpredictable way - be prepared for this in advance - "he who is warned is armed." It is better to have important negotiations after Mercury restores its normal movement.


• Do not open a business or start new important business on Mercury Retro.


• Do not go to a new job for the first time and do not sign an employment contract, because. later you may not be satisfied with the conditions, or you will find out additional information that you did not know before.


• Do not start new training.


• Do not submit manuscripts to a publisher, as find errors and return them back.


• Be attentive to all incoming information - it can be greatly distorted, it may turn out to be a lie. Gossip is high. Protect yourself from an excess of unnecessary information.


• Postpone the purchase of all storage media (phones, computers, tablets, etc.) so as not to be disappointed later.


• Because Mercury is the God of trade, it is advisable to refrain from all important purchases, because. there is a high probability of marriage, errors in the size of things, these purchases will have to be returned for some reason, or you simply won’t wear them, won’t use them, they won’t bring the desired practical benefit.


• It is better not to go on trips and business trips - they may turn out to be in vain, then you will have to go again and redo everything.


• It is not recommended to buy a car at this time (hidden defects are possible, the price may not match the quality, problems with paperwork, fraud, fraud, etc.).


• Transport can be late, delayed, go the wrong route, break down.


• Especially attentive at this time should be accountants, librarians, writers, journalists, translators, guides, secretaries, philologists, dispatchers, secondary school teachers, intermediaries, sellers, artisans - all people whose activities are related to papers, word, information, small work hands. It is during this period that there is a high probability of some mistakes, misprints, misunderstandings, and dual interpretations of one event. Double-check your work several times, be attentive to details. Ask your interlocutors again so that there are no misunderstandings.


• Particular attention must be paid drivers- strictly follow the rules and speed limit. The fewer trips during this time, the better. Check the technical condition of your vehicle.


• Be patient with your schoolchildren, do not scold them for their studies - because. at this time, inhibition in the educational process is possible, it will be more difficult for them to learn new material, there may be problems in presenting their thoughts, both orally and in writing. Forgetfulness and distraction are possible (not only in children, but also in adults). When Mercury becomes direct, then everything will work out.


• Because at this time, information is distorted - misunderstandings between people are possible. And as a result - tension in relations, especially with the closest environment - neighbors, classmates, relatives (brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles). Therefore, do not be offended over trifles - perhaps you understood everything completely wrong. In turn, watch every word that is dropped - it can also be misinterpreted. Any promises made during this period may remain unfulfilled.


• Even traders have noticed that “on Retrograde Mercury, the main trend in the market is changing - all assets that have previously moved strongly in one direction begin to reverse their movement. For example, in 2015, oil stopped its growth at the first Retrograde in January and grew clearly until the second "(Vladimir Levchenko is a well-known financial analyst).


• New meetings with new people, new acquaintances are unlikely to have a positive continuation. So don't put too much hope on them.


• If your work is related to consulting people, then do not take on new clients during Mercury Retrograde. there is a high probability of some kind of informational error - you will have to redo your work, or clients will not be satisfied with this consultation. Continue to work only with old clients.


• You can't rush.

What can you do on Mercury Retrograde?

• It is best to use this time to complete some work.


• If you have not been able to solve a case in the past, now it is worth returning to it and trying again.


• At this time, it is desirable to complete the work already begun, especially difficult and long-lasting ones.


• Solve unfinished moments.


• Review what has been done before.


• Something to alter in documents, in papers.


• Correct any information.


• Repair your car, check its technical condition.


• Sort out your papers, documents - put them in order.


• At this time, there is a high probability of meeting with old acquaintances. You will be called by those who have long disappeared from your life.


• But for pupils and students, a fertile time is coming for repeating and working through the material already covered. If you did not understand something before, now is the best time to understand and assimilate everything.


• This is also the perfect time to retake "debts". Right now you can easily retake everything and close your "tails". Use this time as a unique opportunity.


• The Mercury Retro period is a time to nurture and ponder ideas. But to deal with their implementation after - on direct Mercury - then you will better see the prospect of the matter, you will discover new details and facets.

More about the periods and aspects of July

July 01-04

July 01- Venus is in exact opposition to Pluto, but still conjunct the Sun and sextile Jupiter, and the Sun is in trine c - exact aspect on July 03. The first half of July focuses on household chores, communication with parents and relatives, family trips, real estate issues. Ideas for solving housing or household problems may come up. The first days of July complete the lunar cycle and the difficult stage of the first half of the year. These days provide an opportunity to see the perspective, the overall picture that has developed at this stage, in order to understand how and where to move on. It's time to take stock, decide what to leave behind and what to take into the next stage of life; outline plans to start their implementation after 04 July. But for a correct assessment of cases and circumstances, one must not succumb to excessive emotions, to which there will be a tendency.

These days, the need for constructive relationships will intensify, so old obsolete ties may come to an end, making room for new perspectives. Possible violation of agreements, termination of partnerships under the influence of circumstances that have manifested themselves in previous months. This is a critical period for unstable relationships. Disagreements in financial matters, family matters, emotional clashes are likely. Work responsibilities may conflict with household tasks. Situations in the family and domestic affairs will also require renewal and the need to make some sacrifices in order to restore harmony. At the same time, these days, an important property, financial, family or personal issue that has created concern lately can be successfully resolved, or some topic in which the need to put an end to it has matured can be completed. But if the “point” in the relationship is not included in your plans, be attentive to your loved ones and to the partners with whom you are counting on cooperation. If circumstances force a showdown, do not say harsh words in the heat of the moment and do not take sudden steps. These days carry a sufficient share of constructive energies that can transform disagreements in relationships into fruitful cooperation and partnership. Use them, especially if there is a quarrel or conflict.

The energies of these aspects enhance the brightness of love experiences. There will be a tendency to intense emotions and a need to break out of the ordinary. But the desire to overstep boundaries and taboos in a relationship can push you to take a rash step with unpleasant consequences. In a relationship, you may have to deal with possessiveness, jealousy, or emotional manipulation. Arguments can be motivated by issues of power and control. If you start a new relationship these days, you should be careful, as the “fatal attraction” can end quickly, bringing emotional discord and dissatisfaction. With the beginning of a new relationship, it is better to wait until the new lunar month. Now you can only start what needs to be completed quickly. This is a fruitful time for those who solve creative problems to participate in charitable activities or volunteer work. But this time is not suitable for new beginnings, designed for the future and development.

On days near the new moon, the mood will unnecessarily affect intellectual and logical abilities, this can lead to both positive and negative consequences, depending on personal psychological characteristics and the specific tasks that attention will be directed to. For solving creative problems - this is a plus, for a realistic assessment of new business ideas and circumstances - a hindrance. For this reason, the day of the new moon is not the best time to make decisions. It is better to simply collect information on the basis of which you will later draw conclusions. This lunar month is a good period for an important conversation with loved ones, especially if at other times it was difficult for you to talk about your feelings. From July 05, a good period begins for undertakings in many areas. Use this time for important steps and undertakings.

This is a favorable time for romantic acquaintances and the beginning of business cooperation, for the beginning of romantic and sexual relationships, romantic trips. Romantic relationships can get a new impetus, for example, if people only looked at each other and did not dare to get closer, now it will be easier to take a decisive step, the relationship may go into an intimate phase, or business relationships may develop into love. A good time to start creative projects, performances, presentations, for activities in the field of art, financial matters, important purchases and other financial decisions. But, given the impulsiveness of Mars, unplanned expenses are also possible, for example, on gifts to loved ones or on pleasures, so you should observe the measure in financial matters. And in important financial steps that require significant investments, it is important to consider how this transit background is consistent with your natal chart.

July 05-15- the conjunction of the Sun and Mercury will be in sextile with Jupiter, the exact aspects are on July 08 and 10, and their bisextile with Mars gives this period additional opportunities and dynamics.

You can get help and support from superiors, colleagues, or just a lucky coincidence will help solve important issues.

If you keep a rational look, now you can understand the true essence of the problem in the relationship. On these days and near these dates, the likelihood of terrorist attacks and disasters increases, aggressive personalities become more active, contact with criminal elements becomes more likely, so you should not visit dubious establishments and potentially dangerous places. You need to be careful while driving and on the road.

One more "but" - July 11-12 These are the days when you need to carefully monitor the information. On July 11, Mercury is trine Mars and square Uranus, and on July 12 at 20 ° 07 "Libra.

July 16- Sun square Uranus. In the days around this date, you need to be prepared for all sorts of surprises. The energies of this aspect increase the desire to break out of the routine, act without obeying the rules, create situations where someone can outrage with their behavior, an unexpected attack. Or something will force you to deviate from the usual routine. Surprises can manifest themselves in the form of a sudden breakdown of a car, a spontaneous dispute, an unforeseen conflict. What is planned may not develop as expected, and changes will need to be made due to circumstances or scenarios that were not taken into account. Complications with superiors are likely, in women - with men. People can be driven by the need for novelty of sensations, unusual meetings, secular entertainment. Unexpected misunderstandings in personal life, in love or family relationships, or quarrels with friends are likely, as people are not inclined to care about the stability of relationships, or think about the consequences. But such contradictory behavior leads to conflict in family life, to separation from loved ones or business partners. It is better not to ask your superiors on this day and observe subordination and discipline. Be careful, especially if you are nervous, as accidental injury is likely.

July 19- at 27 ° 40 "Capricorn, the exact trine of Mercury from and on July 20, Venus will be in trine with Saturn. On days near the full moon, circumstances may appear that will highlight the situation in a new way. In the work it will become clear: what previous undertakings and projects are bearing fruit, and which will have to be curtailed as not justified.Probably the completion of some project, or it will be necessary to make changes in the conditions so that it can be continued.At this time, business or personal relationships may come to a certain conclusion, unreliable or exhausted connections will end, and those that are truly important may move into a more serious phase: in business it may be a new stage of cooperation, in romantic relationships it may be about marriage.

This is a great time to learn new technical skills, computer programs, introduce new technologies into work, for the IT sector, to start learning. A good aspect for the purchase of electronics, office equipment and communications, for the modernization of the business sphere and the style of relations in the team and with partners. This is the time to make a breakthrough in work because the mind is more receptive to unusual ways of looking at a problem. But for routine work that requires careful, disciplined thinking and a traditional approach, this is a difficult time.

July 28-31- Mercury square Mars, exact aspect July 29th. This is a time of mental and nervous tension. The likelihood of quarrels and disagreements is high. When agreeing on issues, opposition can be encountered and patience is needed to work out an acceptable solution. If you have to defend your beliefs, the energies of this aspect will be useful, but do not provoke quarrels with excessive pressure, so as not to create problems out of the blue. These days people are prone to impulsive steps, hasty conclusions, harsh statements. The topics of taxes, loans, financial decisions can be a source of concern and problems. Difficulties are likely in resolving issues of profit distribution or general finance. In contacts, one may encounter misunderstanding, a desire to impose one's opinion, regardless of the partner's point of view, or even hostility.

Successful contacts with superiors, resolving issues and official authorities. It's time to seek advice or help from those who are older and wiser, pull things up and complete some stage in the work. Now it is possible to find solutions to problems that previously seemed dead ends, but for this you need to move away from old patterns and approach issues from a practical side. People of creative professions may have non-standard ideas, the use of new artistic techniques and techniques will give a positive result. This is a good time to step outside of your normal routine. Communication with friends is favorable and useful, it is possible that friendships may develop into romantic ones. Romantic acquaintances can be exciting, but they are unlikely to develop into a long-term relationship. The reason is that the potential of new relationships can quickly be exhausted, and even now it will be difficult to see for sure who you are dealing with. Pay more attention to children, now it will be easier to find a common language on issues that previously caused conflicts and strengthen your parental authority. New sensations and impressions will be beneficial, you can plan a vacation for this time or just have more rest from work and everyday problems. Good luck to you, friends, with any transits!

Difficulties in love All planets are retrograde, except for the Sun and the Moon. Retrograde is the apparent backward movement of the planet in relation to the Earth. Venus goes retrograde every 19 months, with a retrograde period of about 40 days.
In astrology, Venus is symbolically responsible for love and love relationships. Being in a retrograde has a negative impact on love life, freezes feelings and the development of relationships.
The time of Venus retrograde is traditionally considered an unfavorable time for new acquaintances and forging personal relationships. New love relationships begun during this period will not lead to a long-term and lasting union. It is not recommended at this time to make a first date and arrange a first meeting. It is worth postponing the marriage proposal, engagement and wedding: Venus retrograde leads to disappointment in a partner.
Venus is harmony and physical external beauty. Under the influence of Venus is the appearance, cosmetology and aesthetic medicine. It is not recommended to radically change the image, do cosmetic surgery to correct and correct the appearance, start a course of cosmetic procedures.
The planet of beauty and taste is in charge of beautiful clothes, jewelry and jewelry.

During this period, the appearance of old relationships or former lovers is possible: Venus makes it possible to reconsider one's attitude towards them, if necessary, to renew valuable connections.
In 2015 (from 07/25 to 09/05), Venus retrograde will be in the sign of Leo. Being in Leo, retrograde Venus increases selfishness and obsession with oneself, excites feelings. At this time, issues of dominance may arise in the relationship and the struggle for leadership may intensify. This situation also increases moodiness and creates an excessive need for attention and for the expression of love and sympathy, which does not benefit any relationship, especially those already formed. Questions of love as such can also be sharply raised - has the feeling been preserved? At this time, careless flirting on the side can lead to a break in relations. And also any "pulling the blanket" on oneself and inattention to the partner can create serious conflicts. It is not excluded at this time and the renewal of feelings, the revival of old relationships or the return of a former lover.

Retrograde Mars - beware!

Be careful, the Mars retrograde period is 2.5 months and happens once every 2 years. At this time, a person confuses ideas about how and where to apply one's strength, how to use energy. Old conflicts often flare up again, but the side that started the war with Mars retrograde usually loses.
It is not recommended to start a new job, as there is no clear idea of ​​what is needed. On the contrary, the best time to change jobs, to part with what is outdated and outdated, to stop the business that you no longer intend to do.

It is recommended to refrain during this period from starting a new business and registering an enterprise with the tax office. Everything started during Mars retrograde suffers from interruptions until it fizzles out.
It is also necessary to observe increased personal security: people become very quick-tempered, irritated, nothing goes as smoothly as before. Anger sometimes becomes out of place and leads to new problems. During a Mars retrograde, many may feel drained of vitality. During this two-month period, it is better not to start anything. The one who initiates, loses.
They say that during the period of retrograde Mars it is impossible to meet your soul mate. Also, former partners may appear: in this case, it is worth following the proverb "do not get up on the same rake twice."
Mars is responsible for any wounds, cuts, operations, weapons, accidents and accidents. Mars retrograde increases the number of accidents. It is not recommended to purchase weapons, protective equipment, cars, any mechanisms. It is extremely unfavorable to do planned operations. People of "dangerous professions" (Ministry of Emergency Situations, military, police) are advised to go on vacation, not to be heroic at work.
During this cycle, it is better not to buy anything mechanical: various equipment breaks down more often, there are more accidents, car breakdowns (brakes) and computers. Purchases must be guaranteed and insured.

Recommended behavior during the period of influence of retrograde Mars:
Accumulate strength, less vigorous activity.
Analysis of actions for errors. Think several times before acting.
Take full responsibility for your life, do not blame others for your problems.
Don't be heroic.
Don't start new business.
Avoid operations and any interventions in the body.
Do not overwork, the risk of wasting a lot of effort in vain.
Exercise caution; fast on Tuesdays; eat hot and spicy food.
Mars does not always have a strong effect on individuals, it all depends on its position in the horoscope and its aspects with other planets. Those who have Aries or Scorpio in their horoscope react especially strongly: they prefer to remain inactive, become less persistent, passive. Each person during this period may feel differently; it is important to remove excessive excitement and think about your actions. If Mars is afflicted in the natal chart, then all activity at this time will be difficult.
These days are very good for planning. It is also recommended to go back to the past situation in your mind or in reality and redo something anew, correcting the situation.
During Mars retrograde, it's easy to see how we handle anger, self-protection, motivation, and sexual relationships. During this time, people often use passive-aggressive methods such as manipulation.
In 2016 (April 18 to June 29), Mars retrograde will be in the sign of Libra. This is the weakest position for the planet Mars - in exile in Libra - so our business activity and our strengths (including physical ones) can be significantly weakened. Any new projects during the influence of retrograde Mars will not be realized: it freezes everything that should develop and move forward. It is highly undesirable to start a project associated with significant energy costs: there are many chances to make mistakes in the alignment of forces.

Direct Saturn imposes rules on us that we must follow. However, during Saturn retrograde, we are forced to look for support within ourselves, to develop our own rules on our own. We can get much more valuable experience at this time. But, unfortunately, often this experience comes as a result of one's own mistakes. Such is the nature of Saturn.

Excessive interest in new information contributes to intellectual fatigue and pride in the achievements made in front of other people. However, there is also a positive side of retrograde, which consists in increasing the speed of decision-making and the manifestation of intuition. This allows you to achieve benefits in everyday life.
