Mars, Saturn and Pluto All Retrograde = Recycle City

Retrograde literally means "backwards." Planets don't ever really move backwards but sometimes it appears as if they do. This happens when the earth moves passed a planet and although both planets are still moving forwards, from an earthly perspective the planet we pass appears to be falling behind. We see the same affect when we drive faster than the car next to us on the freeway. As we move ahead it appears as if the other car is moving in reverse but in actuality both cars are moving in the same direction. However, in astrological readings a retrograde planet is interpreted as an energy that is indeed pulling back.

 Mars has been retrograde since the beginning of March and won't turn direct till the end of May. Mars is known as The Initiator and symbolizes taking action. Actions initiated when Mars is retrograde are famous for being based on wrong assumptions or the results are not what was initially intended. Pick your battles carefully this next month and be sure you know what you're getting into because typically when Mars is retrograde the aggressor is defeated. Romance-wise this is the wrong time to push for a commitment or the partner may counter by pulling way back.

Saturn also turned retrograde in March and will continue in that mode until mid-July. I always say Saturn shows us the unvarnished truth as opposed to Jupiter who seems to be more interested in philosophical truth, or idealistic possibilities.Furthermore, Saturn is in Scorpio now, the sign of deep dark secrets, Saturn isn't going to move forward until all the buried stories are brought to light. We see evidence of this in the revelations we're getting about government spying and other activities I'm sure the C.I.A. would have preferred to keep hidden, but more importantly for us average Americans Saturn retrograde can give us opportunities to ask questions of anyone we make agreements with - employers, landlords, moneylenders romantic partners - and get a clearer sense of just what we're committing to.

Together like it or not, these two mighty movers and shakers are offering us the opportunity to stage a sit-down strike. The best use of their alignment is to pause and consider how you are committing your time and resources and if something doesn't make sense to you trust your instincts and refuse to be schmoozed.

This brings us to the major retrograde happening this week. Pluto, the planet in charge of Death Destruction and Decay is reversing direction Monday April 14. Align with this power by using it to assist you in cleaning and clearing your mind, your body and your refrigerator!

The Moon conjuncts - joins - Pluto on  Easter Sunday, April 20 - a wonderful omen for a joyous rebirth.

Happy Easter,
