Symposium

Retrogrades and Karmic Patterns

Sol W. Jonassen

In order for time to exist there needs to be motion. This is the evolutionary drive in all life. Time is relative, and for earth time seems to be moving in cycles, not in a linear fashion. The past returns to make itself known and for us to recognize, re-align and release. Sometimes the past returns to make us realize who we truly and deeply are and what has kept us from living this potential.

Because we are on earth we are experiencing time in a very particular fashion thanks to the planets moving cyclically in a retrograde motion. And we experience it as life evolving in phases. The process of individuation and then later towards spiritual alignment are the core dynamics of evolution. They are emphasized when there are retrograde planets in a birth chart. It is as if the planets send us off on a search to find truth and alignment. And this happens at an increased speed when the retrogrades kick in.

In this workshop we will go through all the retrograde planets and study the phases of the retrograde motion, whether it is at the beginning, in the middle or at the very end. We will also look at the progressed chart to examine how a natal retrograde planet going direct by progression will behave. And last, but not least, we will examine the transit of retrogrades hitting vital points in a chart.

Take your chart with you, there is time to investigate this during the day in small groups.
