Retrograde planets only affect one if they make contact to planets in ones Natal or Progressed Chart. To check this out, see your favorite astrologer and if you do not have one, I would be honored to do a reading for you. Just call 727-723-0120. Then when you plan your year for important events you will know what to expect.
The economy will vary and improve this year as Jupiter and Saturn make a positive trine.

Retrograde
All planets retrograde except the Sun & Moon.
One needs to realize that anything done between the dates of, Approaching to Leaving, of a retrograde planet cycle will be reviewed. Realize that the event the retrograde effects will not be over until the retrograde leaves. Do not make any final decisions or start any new projects until the planet goes direct. This is a good time to get caught up with all previously left undone projects.
Approaching means that it is entering the degrees that the retrograde will come back to.
R is retrograde
D is direct
Leaving means that it has passed the degree when it went retrograde.
SATURN ENTERD VIRGO SEPTEMBER 3, 2007 AND STAYS FOR 2 ½ YEARS TILL 2010
The year starts with Saturn R at 8.25 Virgo
Positive for those with planets in Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Capricorn, Scorpio Negative for Aries, Gemini, Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius, Pisces, and some Virgos
Saturn causes delays and blocks what is happening. This can cause strikes. While in Virgo it will affect leaders, industrial, labor relationships, environmental protection as well as the intestinal tracks, appendix, lungs, nervous systems, the military, health and pets. Prescription drugs and medical plans will be of the main interest during these years and checked thoroughly. Health, which Virgo rules is the most important. Natural healing is right up Virgo’s alley. Virgo is the healer, the doctor, the nurse, the therapist, the researcher, and the engineer. We will aid the poor and sick through research and education. We are searching to find truth through testing and analysis in order to draw informed conclusions. Saturn in Virgo is a tough taskmaster.
Saving our planet and its inhabitants from extinction will rank high on the agenda. As we prepare to work our way to the year 2012 what we decide to do for the next 2 ½ years will be important in order to clean up the ozone layer. Let’s get down to brass tacks and work hard to clean up the environment. We each have a duty to heal ourselves and stay healthy and to heal the planet. Saturn and Virgo do a thorough job.
Saturn in Virgo is in exact trine with Jupiter in Capricorn Jan. 18-23, 2008 and Sept.5-12, 2008. At this time the economy will look good. Jupiter and Saturn, the business planets stay in these signs all year which continues to help the economy. Pluto moves in and out of Capricorn for the year and will give power to transform and eliminate anything that is not of use to our economy. This will make our outgoing president look good.
During a Saturn R it is the time to bring structure to that which is chaotic or to review those things that you know need changing.

When it is in your sign or you have planets in the sign you have plenty of energy or are agitated about something. If you take a job when Mars is retrograde it will be temporary. If you have an operation during a R Mars there is a possibility that it is not completed and something else will be done to adjust it.
When transiting Mars is in your sign or conjuct a planet it all depends on the aspects that planet is making to other planets as to if it is negative or positive.
