The slower moving planets have the ability to transform even the most ingrained of patterns. There is less of an immediacy to Pluto and more of a long term degradation of that which requires transformation and transition. Pluto, the slowest moving of our base astrological system, profoundly influences everything that it touches. As Venus (or any planet for that matter) comes in and out of direct and retrograde motion, its speed of movement also changes. The relative speed of the planet also plays a significant role. Not only will each point and planet be transited three times, but will also experience Venus at different degrees of intensity.ĭirection of travel is not the only contributing factor to the mystifying energy of retrogrades. The portion of the zodiac between 11° and 25° will be influenced by a transforming Venus. So from the moment that the ‘soon to be retrograde’ planet reaches its future ‘station direct’ point, the process of transformation, insight, and exposure has begun. Even if you don’t have planets in aspect to or in the direct path, the zodiac and planet itself still has profound meaning and influence. If you have a planet in its path, you are likely to experience quite an awakening and shake up. Now, consider a planet moving through a portion of the zodiac (or portion of your chart) three times over a few months. As evidenced by any Sun or Moon transit (which do not have retrogrades), it doesn’t take multiple crossings to shift our perspectives, energies, and lives. This, forward motion, single interaction is impactful enough. During forward motion, a planet will cross any degree of the zodiac once. When a planet goes through it’s retrograde cycle, it transits portions of the zodiac three times over a short period. It may not carry the intensity, but it certainly is essential to the insight, growth, and changes brought by the retrograde. The shadow period IS the retrograde period.
