ASTROLOGICAL INSIGHTS Summer 2023: Reflection and Retrograde
s h e
BY MISTY KUCERIS
There are times in one’s life when stepping back to reflect can be a healing experience. It helps you assess your path; maybe make chang- es, or maybe realize you’re living just the way you want to live. It takes you out of the stream of rushing energy that can be overwhelming, even stressful. It gives you the opportunity to breathe…relax. During the summer months of 2023 you’ll experience a slowing down as a parade of planets (and one asteroid) change direction and go retro- grade. By the time the summer quarter draws to a close, there will be six planets (Pluto, Saturn, Neptune, Venus, Mercury, and Uranus) and one asteroid (Chiron) in retrograde motion. Additionally, there will be a shift of energy as the Moon’s Nodal Axis changes signs. When a planet turns retrograde it means the energy of that plan- et turns inward. You find you need to understand everything about that planet before you can act on it. You also realize at times you may not have all the information you need. There is a tendency when a planet is retrograde for information regarding that planet either to go missing or be withheld. It’s almost as if the universe is telling you to do more research, gain more knowledge, make certain of your facts and emotions. Once the planet turns direct, you discover the missing information, and with your new knowledge you make better choices. Retrograde planets can also represent the need to reflect on past events indicated by that planet. Sometimes, no matter how hard you tried, you believe you could have done better, or you erred in judg- ment. So, sometimes you just want to go back and “fix it.” During the time period when a planet is retrograde you may be able to correct an error, or release a negative energy, from the past.

It seems so spiritually synchronistic that the first retrograde planet of the summer quarter is Pluto. It actually went retrograde in the sign of Aquarius on May 1, 2023, so it’s in retrograde motion at the start of this summer quarter. continued on page 20
