Retrogrades have been known to cause stagnation, and we may feel some initial momentum this month. But just like Mercury, they too have post-retrograde shadow periods where they make up for lost time. Planetary movements are measured by degrees, and even when Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto are moving direct, they don’t breeze through degrees as the inner planets do. Lengthy retrogrades also contribute to longer shadow periods, meaning that these planets spend the majority of the year in their retrograde cycles. On average, their retrogrades last for five to six months. This is largely due to their once-a-year retrograde cycles. The outer planets move at a much slower pace than their respective inner planets. The Outer Planets and Their Retrograde Cycles We must hold on to optimism, find our inner light and believe in a brighter future.
Also known as the “ Great Benefic,” Jupiter is the good guy and wants what’s best for the highest good of all. While life may have been turbulent since then, our saving grace is that Jupiter is the link. What the three planets started in 2020 is still playing out and their retrograde cycles are helping us adapt to a new way of living. Jupiter and Pluto formed an exact conjunction thrice and we had the infamous “Great Conjunction” of Jupiter and Saturn with both planets crossing over from Capricorn to Aquarius together. This is extra significant because these planets were involved in the rare alignments we saw in 2020. Mercury’s final retrograde of 2021 is more of a guest star this month, because Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto are ending their retrogrades too and will station direct within two weeks of each other.
That’s a lot of forward movement, considering that three of the four planets have been in retrograde since the spring of this year. Retrograde season is practically over! In the month of October, we’ll experience a total of four planets moving direct.
