Have you noticed how much the past is being brought up lately? Seems we are living in the past right now. When focused in the past we must realize what we can gain and learn through our past experiences in order to grow.
There are many planets retrograde this month that bring back our past memories. Retrograde planets have to do with review therefore taking a look back. Every concept of dealing with words that begin with “re” are the definition of what our experiences will entail in our lives. This means it is a time to review, reflect, realize, reassess, reanalyze, rewind, retreat, reverse, readjust, reform, realign, recollection, reorganize, relax, and recap to name a few words that describe the message we will receive from this month.
This month we will have Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto all retrograde. Reminiscing can be fun and stirring up old memories. Venus retrograde has brought back old feelings of love and romance and sometimes actually does bring back an old flame in your life. All these important planets retrograde give us the chance to discover some hidden secrets from the past to make a better future. So use this time to reconnect to the old and lost feelings to better understand your future plan.
Mercury retrograde always forces us to review many issues. It is not the time to forge forward. It is a valuable time to reflect otherwise you will be frustrated from setbacks and delays.
Interestingly there are many planets in Ketu ruled nakshatras further indicating a focus in the past. The new Moon on April 26 will be in Aries with the Sun/Moon and Mercury in Ashwini, Saturn is in Mula, and Rahu is in Magha. These nakshatras are ruled by Ketu. Ketu is our past particularly referring to past lives. You may understand who you are based on your past by analyzing Ketu in a chart.
I feel this is a necessary part of our evolution currently to reflect on the past because there is a missing component that will be revealed to make sense of the future. This is all a part of the process as the ebb and flow of the tides. It is time to retreat and reflect for it will give us peace and clarity and refresh just as when we retreat and fall asleep to recharge our mind and body. If we are willing to gain insight from this time we can record our dreams to understand what is rehearsing in our subconscious. The revelations that will be revealed are magnificent in terms of helping our lives heal and grow.
