A whole library has already been written about the retrograde motion of the planets. Even a person far from astrology has heard about a certain retro Mercury, during which nothing can be done. A huge number of fables and fiction revolves around this topic. From this article, you will learn what retro planets are, and how to turn their influence to your advantage.

What do retro planets mean in natal astrology

In natal astrology, the retro movement gives the planet a feminine, passive introvert nature. The planet, as it were, withdraws into itself, it is difficult for it to manifest itself openly. But in peace and quiet, when you don’t have to run anywhere, the retro planet has no equal.

By itself, retrograde means a return, a repetition. Therefore, the retro planet may not be realized the first time. Such a planet needs more time to show itself.

For example, it will be difficult for the owner of retro Mercury to absorb information the first time, he needs to know all the subtleties and details. At the same time, the quality of Mercury itself does not deteriorate. That is, retro Mercury cannot be called stupid. Yes, he does not always have time to grab information on the fly, but he does it with high quality.

For whom will retro planets be especially important?

Retrograde movement is especially important for personal planets: Mercury, Venus and Mars. The Sun and Moon are always moving forward and cannot enter the retro phase. A backward personal planet shows some feature of character or personality.

For example, retro Mars - the native is not aggressive by nature, but if he had already brought it, he would break through the walls with his forehead.

The backward movement of the social and higher planets has more influence on the event level and is not reflected in any way on the psychology of the individual.

If the ruler of the House is retrograde, then this means that the affairs of this House will not work immediately and require more time to be implemented.

The retrograde of a planet is its phase, its state. Therefore, it is categorically impossible to consider retrograde as a defeat.

And now I will analyze personal retro planets in more detail.

Mercury retrograde

Introvert, passive thinking. Slowly but qualitatively learns, it is difficult to perceive something new. Thinking conservative. A person thinks a lot about the past, it is difficult for him to look into the future. Such people have an effect when brilliant thoughts come a little late. Good figurative memory, but forgetfulness of facts.

Retrograde Mercury does not speak at all about the defeat of speech! This in the chart will be indicated by tense aspects from pests and Saturn.

Retro Mercury works well with writing, working alone, or in complete silence.

Retrograde Venus

Difficulty sorting out your feelings. At the event level, it often gives a return to past relationships. Difficulty opening up and trusting a partner. A lot of memories of the past from the series “before the world was kinder”.

In men, relationships can give the effect of a broken record, then the union breaks, then again everyone loves each other.

A retro Venus woman may not accept for a long time or be afraid to reveal her feminine nature.

Retro Venus often gives the ability to perceive art and creativity in a particularly subtle way.

Retrograde Mars

A difficult situation, since the retro phase contradicts the explosive and active energy of Mars. Difficulty getting started. A native can prepare for a very long time, prepare, prepare ... and never start. But if it starts, then for a long time. Therefore, people with retro Mars are great performers, but bad initiators.

It is often difficult for a person with retro Mars to prove himself, to defend his opinion. A lot of suppressed aggression, self-destruction and self-flagellation.

A woman with retro Mars can build her life for a very long time, from the series "I'm going on a hundred and first date with my beloved." Relationships with a man can develop slowly, but here you need to look at additional indications of the card (Sun, VII House).

Conclusion

Do not be afraid of your retrograde planets, learn to work with them. A well-designed and correctly directed retro planet always brings very large and unusual results.

And if you want to work your retro planets well, plunge into the atmosphere of mystery, find like-minded people, become confident in the future and just get a new fashionable profession where you can make good money, go to our school!

In short, the planets never really move in the opposite direction. The retrograde of the planets is an optical illusion (for technical details -). That is, retrograde is a phenomenon that we observe, this is what it seems to us. And to us SEEMS that the planet is coming BACK.

So, the most important thing that we can do during this period is to take care of our PERCEPTION OF THE PAST, a reassessment of what we have already achieved or failed to achieve, that is, to plunge into the past for a while, to draw conclusions so that we can move forward more effectively.

Planet retrograde calendar - 2019

The most noticeable and significant for us periods of retrograde Mercury, Venus and Mars, since these are personal planets that are directly related to our daily affairs. In addition, they move quite quickly, and during the period of retrograde they manage to touch some points of individual horoscopes for a large number of people.

Mercury retrograde

Mercury is the natural ruler of the following spheres:

• all types and means of communication, communication, transmission, receipt and processing of information
• any activity related to the word (literature, journalism, publishing, advertising, sales ...)
• learning and teaching
• contracts and negotiations, transactions, exchanges, purchase and sale, commercial, intermediary activities
• any equipment - office, household, electronic, computing
• transport - any
• the process of transportation, trips, route, schedule
• organization and coordination
• planning, analysis, logic

During the retrograde period of Mercury, all these areas can strain and attract attention: equipment breaks down, plans are frustrated, letters are lost ... Sometimes it seems that life is plunging into complete chaos. BUT: when things don’t go according to plan, it’s not necessary to change goals at all, it may be worth changing the plan.

And this is the main mission of Mercury retrograde: finding the most effective way to organize life..

It makes sense that everything that happens at this time again, returns us in some way to the past and requires some kind of rework. So we have the opportunity to take a different look at the organization of our lives and do the work on the mistakes necessary for further growth. More detailed recommendations for the period of retrograde Mercury -

Retrograde Venus

Venus is the natural ruler of the following spheres:

• love, relationship
• material wealth, comfort, financial relations
• luxury goods, fashion items, gourmet food, jewelry, cosmetics
• beauty, tastes, preferences, style, aesthetics
• sense of justice, harmony
• all activities related to beauty and art (from the artist to the plastic surgeon)

When Venus is retrograde, we begin to see the world a little differently. What was beautiful, tasty, pleasant before may cease to seem so, new preferences may appear in food, in decorating the house and yourself, in understanding how to build relationships. And since it is a reassessment, a rethinking in all these areas that is happening now, this is not the best time for experiments with appearance, for design and repair, for starting new relationships. But at this time, long-lost acquaintances often appear, old connections, habits and tastes return. And all this in order to be able to re-evaluate them, understand and form a new judgment. This is the right time to carefully examine your own feelings, to review and rethink existing relationships and your role in relationships, to try to get out of your comfort zone in order to gain a new understanding of what is truly comfortable and harmonious for you.

And this is the main purpose of Venus retrograde: RESTORE HARMONY.

Retrograde Mars

Mars is the natural ruler of these areas:

• the process of creation, creation - action as such, initiative, activity
• strength, energy, passion, courage, aggression
• concentration, focus
• sports (and training, and equipment, and competitions)
• weapons, warfare and occupations
• surgery
• dangers and crimes
• everything spicy (and knives, and spices), hot (and passion, and vodka), fast (and cars, and runners)
• machinery, tools, equipment

During the retrograde period of Mars, force and energy are directed not in the usual direction - outward, forward and towards goals, but in some wrong direction or in itself. Often there are obstacles, delays, actions are not effective, and the natural reaction to all this disgrace is anger, denial and pushing through one's position. But just aggressive behavior at this time is the least effective. The important thing now is to allow situations to unfold at the rate they are happening, it is important to catch the flow of energy and follow it. It makes sense to return to the completion of unfinished projects, to reconsider one's own ways of acting, in general to perform any actions related to the past and to the development of inner strength.

And this is the main mission of retrograde Mars:ACQUISITION OF INNER STRENGTH.

Social and higher planets

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are outer planets that move slowly, some very slowly. Period of revolution of the planets:

• Jupiter - 12 years
• Saturn - 29.5 years
• Uranus - 84 years old
• Neptune - 165 years
• Pluto - 248 years

Some of them spend almost half of their time in a retrograde state. All of them are more connected with social and global processes (reforms, revolutions, unrest, mass movements, economic crises, government decisions, cataclysms, etc.). Of course, they are directly related to the fate of a person, but in this case, it is not so much the general background that accompanies their retrograde that is especially important, but the hit of the winding planet on the sensitive points of the horoscope. Therefore, when studying these periods, it is important first of all to pay attention to the degrees of the Zodiac in which the loop occurs. If you have planets or other elements of the horoscope in the intervals between the degrees indicated in the calendar, these periods will not go unnoticed, especially since they can last more than one year.

Retrograde planets at birth

If you were born during a retrograde period of a planet, this means that in your natal chart this planet is initially retrograde. This is an interesting position in which the planet manifests itself not "like everyone else." In this case, not only retrograde, but also the position of the planet relative to the Sun will be essential for determining what exactly is the non-standard manifestations of the planet. In addition, people with a retrograde planet in the natal chart can use the current retrograde periods much more successfully and efficiently, because in some ways this is already a familiar situation to them from birth. I am still preparing a detailed article on this topic. And in principle, I plan to gradually supplement this section. So, if you have questions, comments, wishes, write - I will definitely answer. And successful passage through the loops! Yet we all need such periods - to stop, rethink and return to ourselves.

Astrology is a rather complex field. Each planet, which plays a certain role in the compilation of a star horoscope, has many features of movement that must be taken into account. A retrograde planet is one of such concepts, based precisely on the movement of a celestial object.

reversing

If you rush along a highway or railway at a sufficiently high speed and overtake a moving vehicle along the way, you get the feeling that it is standing still or even moving backwards. But this is absolutely not the case, because the car or train moves forward in the same way, but only at its own speed. The illusion, based on the mismatch of the speeds of movement, is so bright that it causes a feeling of moving backwards. So the planets, on the movement and location of which they are built, can also have such supposedly backward movement.

The complex paths along which planets and stars move in outer space are the basis of astrology. In order to correctly speak about the influence of celestial bodies on the character and fate of a person from the point of view of this area of ​​predictions, it is necessary to understand all the subtleties of the movement of planets and stars. The retrograde movement of the planets is possible due to different periods of their revolutions around the sun, speed and trajectory of movement relative to each other.

Back at different times

Almost all the planets that are taken into account in the preparation of an astrological chart, except for the Sun and the Moon, can have backward movement. In each case, it has its own meaning, determined by many factors. Retrograde planets in the natal chart most often mean a return to the past. There may be several of them - up to 5. For example, the planet Mercury is the fastest in terms of backward movement. It reverses for three weeks three times during the earth year. Venus is also one of the fastest planets. Its retrograde manifests itself within 43 days in two years. The planet Mars also retrogrades once every two years, but its period is already 70 days. Distant planets - Uranus, Neptune, Pluto - have retrograde for 5 months a year.

Retrograde movement of planets in human life

Each planet that is taken into account when compiling a natal chart can move backward. But the opinions of astrologers sometimes differ in terms of the specifics of its influence on human life. Some believe that the presence of a backward movement of the planet means a return to past lives with the obligatory indication of unfinished deeds. Others prefer to believe that retrograde planets in the horoscope have only restraining characteristics. In any case, you should not put all the cards only on retrograde planets, even if there are many of them.

The retrograde movement of the planets must always be considered in conjunction with other elements of the natal and karmic charts.

The word "karma" is known to everyone, for many it means the same as "fate", "rock". And the concept of "karma" can be accurately understood if you answer the question: "What does a retrograde planet mean?" Let's figure it out. In a karmic chart, a retrograde planet or several such objects in the sky will mean the unfulfilled deeds of past lives. They will demand their completion and will haunt a person all his life if he does not understand the signs and does not do what he should have done once. Such an unfinished business will affect the whole life, making it difficult to move forward. That is why the backward movement of the planet has a restraining and karmic role in fate and character.

Each retrograde planet, manifested in the natal or karmic chart, exerts its influence in a certain area of ​​human life. This is important to consider. Which planets are retrograde, and how they affect fate, you need to figure it out.

Retrograde Mercury

The planet Mercury is responsible, so to speak, for the communicative qualities of a person. If in the natal chart it has a retrograde movement, then the individual will have problems with communication. Retroactive Mercury can cause stuttering, which in any case will affect communication. A person, depending on the influence of other planets, will either not like conversations in principle, or, on the contrary, will not spare words, annoying and annoying those around him. In any case, the action of retrograde Mercury must be carefully worked out, reducing its negativity and turning curiosity, the craving for deep knowledge caused by it, into virtues.

Retrograde Venus

Venus, moving backward, present in the natal horoscope, makes a person constrained in his feelings, desires, fantasies. He can never fully understand and understand his feelings caused in the soul. It is difficult for a person in whose horoscope Venus is backward to express his feelings, because he himself does not understand them too clearly. This can apply to all areas of life - from choosing clothes appropriate to the moment, to relationships in the family. The presence of such a sign in the natal horoscope requires careful, scrupulous work on oneself.

If Mars moves backward

Even the ancient Greeks called the god of war Mars, the same name was given to the blood-red planet seen in the sky. Decisiveness, purposefulness - these are the main characteristics of a militant deity. But if in the natal chart Mars has a backward movement, then a person loses these qualities altogether. Indecision, cowardice, lack of initiative - that's what others see in him. Although in fact, a person whose natal chart has Mars retrograde is directed inward, he needs to weigh everything carefully several times before making any decision.

Backward Saturn

Saturn itself is a very unusual planet in astrology - it slows everything down. What can we say about retrograde Saturn. In addition, it is worth considering that Saturn is the point of the father's presence in a person's life. If this planet in its backward movement is present in the natal chart of the child, then the father in the life of the baby is either absent altogether, or has only a nominal value. For a girl, Saturn retrograde is reflected in difficulties with marriage. The negative of retrograde Saturn decreases either when it returns to the natal position, or in contradiction to it in antiphase.

Jupiter in reverse

The influence of backward Jupiter affects the worldview and worldview of a person in whose natal chart he is present. It is quite difficult for a society to accept a dissident. But on the other hand, it is people with retrograde Jupiter in the natal chart who see the prospect where others simply would not consider anything but a blank wall. An entrepreneurial streak is the main plus of those in whose horoscope Jupiter moves backwards.

A retrograde planet is quite influential in the natal horoscope. It has a deterrent value, rolling back events, giving signs from the past. For many astrologers, the backward move that retrograde planets have in a horoscope is like news from a past life, an undone deed, an unfulfilled destiny.

In order to correctly take into account all the nuances of the movement of the planets, you need to correctly read them, know the features of influence, and be able to combine signs. And it is also important to be able to correctly present information to a person, without driving him into a trap of hopelessness by the backward movement of the planets of the horoscope.

In 2018, all fast planets will go through retrograde periods, which does not happen every year. If you don’t have to get used to us, it happens retrograde 3-4 times a year for 20 days, then a rarer occurrence, it happens retrograde once every 2 years, for 80 days. Retrograde of Venus occurs about once every year and a half and lasts about 40 days. The social planets - Jupiter and the higher planets - Uranus, Neptune and Pluto become retrograde every year. Let me remind you that the Sun and Moon are never retrograde.

Thus, in the coming year we have the entire set of retrograde periods of the planets. This indicates the exacerbation of old problems that will require new solutions. This also gives the possibility of complex karmic scenarios in 2018, especially in the period from June-August 2018.

The table below gives the most important aspects of 2018 andthe retro periods of all planets in 2018 are given, but in order to interpret them more accurately, you need to understand the specifics of retrograde periods and their phases.

Retrograde movement or movement back is not a real, but a path of the planet visible from the Earth. The retrograde effect occurs due to the difference in the speeds of the Earth and the planet relative to the Sun.When we interpret the transit of a retrograde planet, we are not only dealing with the retrograde phase itself, but we are considering the entire retro period, which is called the “retrograde loop”. The retrograde loops of the planets are longer periods of time than the distance from point R to point D. They cover the entire length of the Zodiac in degrees along which the planet passes the retrograde path. The countdown of the retrograde loop begins from the moment when the direct planet enters the degree of the sign, to which it will return at its extreme point of retrograde, turning to the direct movement - D. And the exit from the loop is the time when the planet passes through the degree from which retrograde movement began - R.

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

Retrograde periods and decision making

In retrograde motion, the planet repeats its path along the same degrees of the Zodiac, 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 , the beginning of fundamentally new affairs 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 is counting on. At such a time, external conditions, laws, circumstances change, 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 unsafe to draw final conclusions and make decisions at such a time - the situation, circumstances will change, and the decision made may turn out to be erroneous.

During periods of retrograde, long overdue cases 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, but occurs after the retrograde phase. Under such conditions, this is the most “safe” 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 to look for ways to solve it - during 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 same plot (3).

When the inner planets - Mercury and Venus - become retrograde, they begin to go into conjunction with the Sun. The conjunction of retrograde or with the Sun is the "lower 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, their behavior, their mental and communicative approaches (), or their emotional reactions, values ​​\u200b\u200band attachments (). If during this period there are repetitions of already former troubles, it is necessary to consider their cause, and at the point of “lower connection” an answer will come, a new way of solving problems on the topic of the planet will open, which we can use in the future. At the stage from the “bottom connection” to the return to directness (SD) - all forces must be directed to solving old cases, repaying debts, and putting an end to lingering problems. The next stage of the retro-loop - from the beginning of directness to the exit from the loop - at this time there is a set of potential, preparation for new steps, thinking about new ideas for or awareness of emotional preferences, values ​​and ways to achieve inner harmony, ethical principles for. At this stage, you need to complete unresolved problems, relationships that need to end, as unresolved problems and imperfections 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 in 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 the themes and situations of this cycle, the period of awareness of non-constructive approaches, the revision and definition of new approaches. This period provides an opportunity to realize which of our habitual reactions and ways of implementing the planetary principle must be revised in order to remain adequate and effective.

On retro periods, repetition of the action can be successful. For example, a couple had a fictitious divorce and remarried on Mercury retrograde. Since then, for 21 years they have been living in a strong marriage.

Introspection

When analyzing the transit of a personal retro-planet on the natal chart, the planetary status of the planets should be taken into account. The fast planets are in "subordination" to the slow ones. A personal planet can realize the tasks set by the parallel transit of a slow planet, i.e. against the background 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 a personal planet goes in a retro-loop to the natal chart. Look at which house of your natal chart Mercury or Mars retrograde is transiting. Is there a connection with the natal planet, ASC or MC? What aspects will the planets make while in the loop and what events will take place in your life? All this will help you to understand the transit cycle of Mercury and Mars in a more personal way for you personally, and will be a good practical experience in studying transits and in mastering forecasting techniques.

Important aspects of Mercury in 2018:

Venus will be retrograde from October 05 to November 16, 2018 in Scorpio and Libra

Important aspects of Venus in 2018:

Mars will be retrograde from June 26 to August 27, 2018 in Aquarius and Capricorn

Important aspects of Mars in 2018:

Such a motley company promises a very extraordinary year. Fortunately, rather positive: for example, the brightest participants in the parade - Sun and Venus they promise good luck in love affairs, excellent prospects in search of mutual understanding, support and a good joint path, as well as unexpected pleasant gifts from Fate to everyone. As for other planets, they also prepared surprises for us. Let's go through each.

Mercury in 2018

Mercury retrograde periods in 2018:

• from March 23 to April 15;
• from July 26 to August 18;
• from 17 November to 6 December.

Astrologers advise not to plan travel, long trips, business negotiations for these periods.

Venus in 2018

Venus retrograde in 2018:

• October 6th to November 16th.

During the period of the reverse movement of Venus, it is strongly recommended to avoid family quarrels and, in general, any conflict situations. It is best to carefully weigh all your actions and deeds.

Mars in 2018

• Mars retrograde - from June 27 to August 27, 2018.

During the period of retrograde Mars, any conflicts are likely to escalate, both between people and between states.

Jupiter in 2018

• Jupiter in Scorpio - until November 8, 2018.
• Jupiter in Sagittarius - November 8, 2018
• Jupiter retrograde in 2018 - from March 10 to July 9.

By 2018, the largest planet in the solar system leaves Libra, which means that the period of groping for a fragile balance and timid smiles is coming to an end. The next stop of the giant is the brutal mystical Scorpio, in which Jupiter will stay until November 8th. This position of Jupiter will make each of us feel the hidden power seething in him, sharpen intuition, increase self-esteem and level of awareness, allowing us to reconsider goals and ways of moving towards them.

Another important point: the Jupiter-Pluto square, which oppressed many during 2017, will finally cease to exist. As a result, everything that was hidden, suppressed, hidden, will receive a new breath, and accordingly, the boundaries will seriously expand. That's just the liberation from the shackles for many will be completely inopportune: not everyone understands what to do with unexpected freedom, and therefore will be at a loss. Well, it's time to grow up and take responsibility for yourself, your children and family, for the city, the country into your own hands...

By the end of the year, Jupiter is migrating into Sagittarius, which will result in an explosive expansion of opportunities and the choice of new, even larger goals. Energy, drive and a thirst for change will affect everyone, but most of all people born under the sign of Sagittarius: the final of 2018 may be marked for them by serious life changes, including getting out of the old rut (profession, family, etc.) and laying new.

Attention! From March 9 to July 10, Jupiter will be retrograde (that is, it will begin to move in the opposite direction relative to the Earth). The direct "traffic" of this planet means good luck in achieving goals, a confident move towards them, but the backward one turns everything upside down. Many will be overcome by the desire to get what they want at all costs, without listening to anyone and without appreciating the difficulties. Meanwhile, Fortune is resting during this period, so it is highly not recommended to take risks and break through the walls with your forehead.

Pluto in 2018

• Pluto will be in Capricorn throughout 2018.

The mysterious celestial body responsible for the mass consciousness of entire nations remains in the sign of Capricorn, which means that the transformation of society from within continues.

Attention! Pluto's motion relative to the Earth will slow down from April 22 to October 1, 2018. Astrologers recommend using this period for rethinking values, clearing the mind of prejudices and outdated stereotypes, and homes from old and broken things. It also makes sense to revise the relationship, deciding who is a friend and who is an enemy. The advantage of the situation is that during the period of retrograde Pluto, any changes are not perceived as a sacrifice; getting rid of something feels like relief and being reborn into something better.

Uranus in 2018

• Uranus in Aries - until May 15, 2018.
• Uranus in Taurus - from May 15 to November 6, 2018.
• Uranus returns to Aries from November 6, 2018 to March 6, 2019.
• Retrograde Uranus in 2018 - from August 10, 2018 to January 6, 2019.

In 2018, the planet will move into Taurus, which will mark high-profile reforms in the global banking system. Since Uranus is associated with electronics, computers, information, then, most likely, we are talking about the expansion of electronic finance, cardinal changes in the usual systems of monetary settlements.

Attention! Uranus will be retrograde from August 7, 2018 to January 6, 2019. For this period, astrologers recommend giving up (or protecting yourself as much as possible) from extreme sports, as well as being more careful during air travel and long road trips. On the plus side: during this period, insights and the emergence of original ideas are very likely, from which something very promising can turn out.

Saturn in 2018

• Saturn is in Capricorn throughout 2018.
• Saturn retrograde - from April 18 to September 6, 2018.

In astrology, this planet is considered one of the most important: when it changes the zodiac sign in heaven, noticeable changes occur on Earth regarding human relationships and a change in the “rules of the game”. In 2018, another similar event will occur: Saturn will enter Capricorn - a sign of his abode, where he is especially strong and quick to punish. This means that many will be rewarded according to their deserts; astrologers even speak of a "fateful verdict." Therefore, it is extremely important to enter the new year without a load of debts, bad conscience and unacknowledged mistakes.

The influence of Saturn will also affect the global order as a whole: in the world community: a new relevant legal framework will finally be created with severe sanctions against violators.

Saturn will be in retroposition from April 18 to September 6. During this period, you should not change the rules of your own life and business: most likely, such a change will not bring good luck. Therefore, the reorganization of enterprises or the start of a new project, weddings and divorces, any change in lifestyle is better to appoint for a different period.
