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.

LUNAR NODES start in 2007 at 18.50 Pisces/Virgo retrograde and complete these signs ending at 0 Pisces/Virgo on December 18. The Nodes then shift on December 19 to the signs of Aquarius/Leo. The Nodes enter at the end of the sign 29.59 Aquarius/Leo and exit at the beginning two years later.
The planets that will be important to watch when the nodes are in Pisces/Virgo are Neptune and Mercury, when in Aquarius/Leo watch the planets Uranus and the Sun.
The eclipses follow the nodes and will be in Pisces/Virgo.

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 RETROGRADE (includes orb Approaching and Leaving)
The year starts with Saturn R at 24.27 Leo

Saturn is in the sign of Leo until 9/2/2007 and is Positive for those with planets in Leo, Sagittarius, Aries, Libra, Gemini - Negative for Scorpio, Aquarius, Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Capricorn, Pisces and some Leos.

Saturn causes delays and blocks what is happening. This can cause strikes. While in Leo it will affect leaders, entertainment, children, the theatre and investments as well as the upper back, heart, eyes, immune system and bones. If you have been having a problem in these departments since 7/17/05 it may not be finished until 9/2/07 when Saturn leaves Leo. There could be a long ongoing problem in your life that needs changing. .

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.

JUPITER RETROGRADE (includes orb approaching and leaving)
Jupiter enters the sign of Sagittarius 11/25/2006 for one year.
Jupiter starts the year at 8.11 Sagittarius – Ends the year 2.47 Capricorn


Any planets that Jupiter affects in its retrograde from 1/9 -11/2 at 9-19 Sagittarius will bring an increase, enlargement, and abundance. I do not necessarily feel that a Jupiter R is bad, but it does cause one to overdo in matters. It may delay the final outcome but it also should be beneficial. The only way that it may be bad is if there is a disease that is going on. In this case it could make it grow. It could be uncontrollably expanding the planet it conjuncts. Being a planet of travel when Jupiter R over Mercury, or a personal planet such as the Sun, Moon or Ascendant one may continually travel. It is also education of higher knowledge and R could be a time of study that allows one to really understand the subject. Jupiter is also around at the time of a pregnancy as it enlarges the body.

January 9, Jupiter 9.55 Sagittarius Approaching--------------------April 6, Jupiter 19.46 Sagittarius R
August 7, Jupiter 9.55 Sagittarius D----------------------November 2, Jupiter 19.46 Sagittarius Leaves

Negative for Gemini, Virgo, Pisces, Scorpio, Capricorn, Taurus, Cancer and some Sagittarius.

URANUS RETROGRADE (includes orb approaching and leaving)
March 7, 2007 to March 10, 2008 at 14-18 Pisces
Uranus is in Pisces until March 12, 2011

Positive for those with planets in Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio, Taurus, Capricorn
Negative for Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Leo, Libra, Aquarius, Aries and some Pisces.

Uranus is the planet of spirituality, intuition, magnetism, change, stimulation, restlessness, sudden happenings. Any planet or house cusp that it affects receives this energy. Uranus works unexpectedly and brings surprises.

March 7, Uranus 14.46 Pisces Approaching----------------------------June 23, Uranus 18.41 Pisces R
November 24, Uranus 14.46 Pisces D----------------------March 10, 2008 Uranus 18.41 Pisces Leaves

NEPTUNE RETROGRADE (includes orb approaching and leaving)
February 2, 2007 to February 19, 2008 Neptune is 19-22 Aquarius
Neptune is in Aquarius until 2/3/2012

Positive for those with planets in Aquarius, Gemini, Libra, Aries, Sagittarius
Negative for Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Virgo, Cancer, Capricorn, Pisces and some Aquarius.

Neptune rules our imagination and spiritual beliefs. If positive it can brings fantasies, idealization and inspiration and allow us to create and to be more spiritual with our imagination. The positive approach is meditation and creativity. If negatively aspecting planets a retrograde can bring confusion, deception or not allow one to hear correctly since we may be day dreaming or there is something hidden. It can also weaken a condition.

February 2, Neptune 19.14 Aquarius Approaching------------------May 24, Neptune 22.2 Aquarius R

Pluto is in Sagittarius until 11/27/2008

Positive for those with planets in Sagittarius, Aries, Leo, Aquarius, Libra
Negative for Pisces, Gemini, Virgo, Cancer, Taurus, Scorpio, Aquarius and some Sagittarius.

Pluto works quietly behind the scenes and many times you do not realize what is happening. It gets to the root of the matter and can destroy in order to rebuild. Pluto is a planet of power, transformation, and regeneration. Once Pluto is finished one can never go back to the way it was, as it has caused a complete change.

December 12, 2006 Pluto 26.18 Sagittarius Approaching----------March 31, Pluto 28.57 Sagittarius R

During this time Pluto is conjunct the Galactic Center and has been and will bring about spiritual transformations. This happens once every 254 years.
