A Long Five Month Retrograde Season Begins –

Knowledge of the movements of planets, Sun and moon and realizing their influence on humanity and all life events, allows us to participate in the function and purpose of the heavenly realms. It leads to higher knowledge which leads to wisdom. This information was/is the foundation for the School of Athens which I consider all of my writings to be.

Following are dates for the next five months of retrogrades. I suggest jotting them down in daily calendars or in one’s astrological and esoteric journals.

Since Pluto entered Aquarius November 19th, it feels like everything has changed, isn’t working, has shifted, emptied itself out, is blank. We can’t do the old anymore and there’s a feeling of “let’s go” (somewhere, anywhere!). It will be, is beginning to be, a whole new world now, new vibrations, new elements (air/fire), new thinking, new everything.

But for a while before the new clearly makes itself known, we will have a long season of retrogrades – to remember things before everything dissolves andtransforms.

We begin with Mercury retro in Sag, from November 25 ‘til December 15. Followed by Mars retro in Leo, from December 6 – February 23.

In December, over the holidays, and as 2025 begins, we will have six planets retrograde – Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune (for one week) and Chiron retrograde. Venus will retrograde March 1 – April 15, 2025, from Aries to Pisces. Mercury begins its first 2025 retrograde March 14 – April 6 2025.

From 9 Aries to 26 Pisces. Both Venus and Mercury retrogrades from Aries to 24 Pisces, a most interesting situation!

I will write more about the retrogrades as they occur. Our long retrograde season is a time of remembrance, before life zooms forward in spring (May 2024)
