Mercury Retrograde Periods in 2007
Although not quite as
popular as Sun sign astrology, "Mercury Retrograde" has certainly
become a buzzword—or buzz phrase—these days.
What is Mercury
Retrograde? Three, and sometimes four, times a year, the planet
Mercury appears to be moving backwards in the sky for a period of
approximately 3 weeks. "Appears" is the key word here, because,
technically speaking, no planet actually moves backwards in their
orbits around the Sun. In fact, they don't even slow down.
Retrograde-station-direct cycles are essentially illusions that
result from our point of view from Earth, simply because the Earth
is also orbiting the Sun at a different speed than the other
planets. Mercury turns retrograde more frequently than any other
planet. It can never be more than 28 degrees from the Sun, and
whenever it reaches its furthest distance from the Sun, it changes
direction.
As the planet of communication, Mercury retrograde tends to breed a certain
level of confusion. Mercury rules our "lower" mind—how we
perceive and interpret information that we receive from our environment, and how
we relay that information to others. Mercury has rulership over such things as
speaking, negotiating, buying and selling, listening, formal contracts,
documents, travel, the mail and shipping, and so forth. All of these areas of
life are affected when Mercury is functioning in a sluggish state.
Decision-making is challenged during Mercury retrograde. Needless to say, it is
not advised to sign contracts, engage in important decision-making, or launch a
new business. Delays and challenges are more probable with Mercury retrograde.
This period is best used for re-organizing and reflecting.
During these periods, it's best to check and double-check your
work, emails, and paperwork. Watch what you say, because it may
not come out, or be received, the way you intended. Try to be
understanding if you receive remarks that don't go over well.
Double-check that the person who uttered those words really meant
it the way you thought they did! Asking "are you sure you meant to
say that?" might help. Get in touch with yourself during this
period—it's an excellent cycle for discovering new ways of
looking at life and at yourself. It's also an ideal cycle in which
to discover new ways of communicating your ideas and thoughts.

Venus Retrograde in 2007
What is Venus
Retrograde? Occasionally, Venus appears to be moving backwards in the sky.
"Appears" is the key word here, because, technically speaking, no
planet actually moves backwards in their orbits around the Sun. In
fact, they don't even slow down. Retrograde-station-direct cycles
are essentially illusions that result from our point of view from
Earth, simply because the Earth is also orbiting the Sun at a
different speed than the other planets. Venus is Retrograde
approximately 40-43 days every 18 months.
As the planet of love and values, Venus retrograde periods are times when we
re-assess what—and who—we value. It is a period that most astrologers consider
inopportune for getting married or starting a new relationship. Financial
undertakings are not advised during this period as well. There may be delays or
confusion in relationships and financial affairs.

22 Jan Jupiter square Uranus 04:43 pm EST Tran-Tran 12ºSagittarius26'
Attempts to leapfrog from idea into execution may be at sixes and sevens for a
while, but it's
not your problem alone, it's in the air. Troubleshooting and debugging are
necessary parts of
life's progress, and like everything else, it all happens at once. This makes
this not such a
good time for leaping into new worlds when the old one still hasn't gotten its
act together. Until
you're clear about now and know you're on firmer ground, seek out the glitches,
the
overlooked pieces of the puzzle, the stuff that glues it all together into one
working whole,
whether that be a marriage or a merger.
28 Feb Saturn opposition Neptune 07:07 am EST Tran-Tran 20ºLeo15'Rx
This approximately yearlong period, which everybody shares once every 36 years,
puts a
backdrop of considerable deception and collusion in government circles followed
by exposure
and consequences. The Watergate conspiracy and the covert rise of the Nazi
military
machine come to mind. The fact that people can be so false and so blind at the
same time
naturally affects all and suffuses cultural morality and trust at a fundamental
level. On a
personal level, it means cover your rear and don't rely on what you hear,
especially from the
most normally reliable sources. What you don't know probably will hurt you, so
check twice,
and then again. Everybody's in the same boat.
16 Mar Jupiter trine Saturn 05:44 pm EST Tran-Tran 19ºSagittarius09'
You are in a roughly yearlong period in which the world at large is, in the
deepest sense of the
word, coasting. There is a great faith that God is in his Heaven and all is
right with the world,
which is, as often as not, totally unfounded, a disillusionment often met the
following year. But,
for the moment, in the background all appears to be working smoothly, both
economically
and morally. This makes for profitable enough short-term actions, as long as you
can pull out
quickly. The real personal bonanza may be had by searching out the coming shift
that
changes everything and putting all your financial and moral assets on it.

06 Aug Saturn trine Pluto 06:08 am EDT Tran-Tran 26ºLeo34'
For a year or so there is a time when the social backdrop seems relatively
peaceful and it
could be that the right people are in charge for once and getting done what's
needed. Though
it's not specific to you or your life, you can make your life specific to it by
riding the wave and
taking advantage of calm waters to do some exploration you might not have done
otherwise.
This can include alliances and even friendships with people that differ from you
considerably
but are now more open to and comfortable with your way of thinking. It's sort of
a "pax
Romana" in which the successful control of the political and cultural matrix
allows for
commerce where there was conflict before.

02 Sep Saturn enters Virgo 09:44 am EDT Tran-Tran 00ºVirgo00'
An emphasis on discipline with regard to work and health is a keynote of the
cycle now
dawning in your life. Procedures, scheduling, details: you're apt to be weak in
these areas
unless you take steps to correct deficiencies. Do this, and you make progress;
otherwise, you
have to run faster just to avoid falling behind.

29 Oct Jupiter sextile Neptune 10:59 pm EST Tran-Tran 19ºSagittarius15'
A more realistic and satisfying way to blend dreams, hopes, and expectations by
sharing is in
the wind, if you are willing to take a deep breath. Actually, a series of
shallow breaths
describes it better. What once you may have kept to yourself, it is time to
exchange with
others who have been in the same situation. Fortunately, the air is very
conducive to doing
just that, and what might have been hard to say before comes more easily with
the knowledge
that it is a two-way street of mutual trust and reward. You may find this
critical to your
happiness, or you may just find yourself in a general situation where it helps
others and it's
the best thing to do to go along. Either way, you win.

11 Dec Jupiter conjunct Pluto 02:18 pm EST Tran-Tran 28ºSagittarius24'
Sometimes innovation and expansion arrive on a gentle breeze, sometimes on a
hurricane.
This time it is likely to see the latter, when progress is not to be resisted or
it will overcome
you by sheer force. This does not mean you have to get on board of every new
brainstorm,
but if you see a juggernaut coming, either climb on or get out of the way. On a
personal level,
however, this can mean shoving your ideas or beliefs down someone's throat,
albeit with well-meaning,
and that can be tantamount to coercion or worse. No means no, whether you
believe it or not, and since the tendency for coercion is in the air in general,
you may be the
one on the receiving end to most benefit from that.
18 Dec Jupiter enters Capricorn 03:11 pm EST Tran-Tran 00ºCapricorn00'
Respect, status, and achievement are central goals for you as a new phase begins
in your life.
Creating a structure to empower and maintain your ideals and principles becomes
a high
priority, an article of faith. By taking on greater responsibilities of this
kind, you become an
inspiration to others. Ambition unlimited always ends in defeat.
