Astrology for the SoulThe Complete Course for Chart Interpretat ion

Besides the Sun and the Moon, all planets will have a

retrograde period in their orbits around the Sun at their pass

closest to Earth, called perigee.

Retrograde is when a planet appears to move backwards from a

geocentric perspective, Planets appear to move backward along ecliptic

as a slower moving planet is approached and overtaken by faster moving

planet, the movement in the zodiac appears backward.

The phenomena of retrograde motion resembles that of 2 trains passing

each other, the faster moving train momentarily appears to move

backward from the perspective of the slower moving train.

Interior planets, Mercury and Venus, retrograde when moving between Sun

and Earth, closest to Earth in cycle around Sun.

Exterior planets, Mars to Pluto, retrograde when moving in an opposition to

the Sun, closest to Earth in their cycle around the Sun.

As retrogrades have everything to do with synodic cycles, planetary orbits

and the combination of the line up between Sun, Earth and Planet, each

planet spends different amounts of time retrograde and a different

percentage of their time retrograde. The table shows that Venus is the

planet least likely to be found retrograde, whereas Pluto is the most likely

planet to find retrograde in an astrology chart.

It is quite usual to find a few planets retrograde, yet especially rare to have all or

many planets retrograde, no planets retrograde or only one planet retrograde.

RETROGRADE PLANETS: THE PHENOMENA

Retrograde planets in a natal charts are shown by a small red or black Rx

symbol. Retrograde planets:

RETROGRADE PLANETS IN CHART DELINEATION

Signify a more subjective and reflective internally focused orientation with the

planet.

Can be much more sharply defined and focused.

Act against the grain, retreat or rebel.

Reject the status quo and concepts of the direct moving planets and their

planetary meaning.

Are physically slower moving therefore more deliberate to act, more thoughtful

and less impulsive.

From a karmic point of view, the retrograde planet represents the soul’s intention

for a life lesson, a greater challenge that must be met in order to deal with

unfinished business and clear the path for future progress.

Are closest in their cycles to Earth therefore are seen to be more potent and

somehow accentuated.

Will indicate a deeper more challenged experience of the retrograde planet. eg.

Mars with anger issues or energy levels, Venus with self love and values and

relationships, Mercury with communicating and learning abilities.


MODULE FOUR

Note:

Exterior planets, when retrograde are at their brightest and most visible at their

closet pass to Earth. Interior planets, Venus and Mercury are at their brightest

just before retrogrades begin and finish, before and after their “Cazimi” of the

Sun, as they transition from evening to morning stars.

Stationing planets are planets found at the beginning and end of retrograde

periods, when a planet stands still to turn around so to speak, from direct

motion to retrograde, or from retrograde to direct again.

These stationing periods are seen as the most significant parts of a

retrograde cycle and intensify, magnify and concentrate the retrograde

meaning and experience.

Check planetary motion by using an ephemeris to see if a planet is near a

stationing point.

Look for stations around 0 -7 days for faster moving planets, 5-10 days for

midrange planets, and 2-3++ weeks for outer planets before and after

retrograde cycles (outer planets can stay in the same degree for quite a long

time around stationing points)

STATIONING PLANETS

Rejects and rebels with information, are more attuned to specific information

and learning techniques, and learn in their own unique ways, are more

individualistic.

Can show more clarity, depth, intensity, focus, and refined thinking.

Can show a greater capacity to perceive symbols, messages and non-verbal

communication.

Thoughts and perceptions are more internalised, can be slower on the

uptake, overthink

Evolutionarily can be slowed down for a reason.

RETROGRADE MERCURY

Mercury retrograde celebrities include:

Angelina Jolie, Princess Diana, Steve Jobs, Russell Brand, Madonna, Salvador

Dali


RETROGRADE VENUS

Venus retrograde is deep, serious, shy, awkward,

Venus retrograde accentuates the experience of self love and value, and

other insecurities, and can find it harder to express love and affection.

Can have overly high standards and unusual values.

Venus rx individuals are generally more private, secret and hidden.

Can overcompensate, overindulge, be over the top and exaggerated..

Venus rx individuals can be carrying past pain of love and relationships.


Venus Retrograde individuals include:

Amy Winehouse, Ellen de Generes, Adolf Hitler, Gianni Versace, Venus

Williams, Anthony Bourdain, Tom Hanks, JWG, Charlie Chaplin,

RETROGRADE MARSRetrograde Mars energy is raw and primal, internalised, can be held back

or overreactive.

Anger and frustration, the will, the ego and the desire nature may not be

properly channeled and they may struggle with directness.

Mars rx individual is sole worker, loner, unconventional, needs focus.

Mars rx can succeed against all odds, and beyond physical limitations or

neglect physical needs.

Mars rx projects a different animus, can come on too strong, awkwardly

and has a hidden power.

Mars rx individual can be recreating past life situations, unfulfilled from the

past

Mars Retrograde individuals include:

Micheal Jordan, Jack Nicholson, Angela Merkel, Jim Morrison, Lauren Bacall,

Sigmund Freud, James Dean, Rupert Murdoch (st rx), Frida Kahlo, Judy

Garland, Bernadette Brady, Rick Tarnas


RETROGRADE JUPITER

Rearranges opportunities, changes the dynamic of inherited beliefs and

patterns and is unorthodox with religion and philosophies.

It presents non-standard opportunities, access through the back door,

For a Jupiter rx individual the challenge is to develops a self made law, an

individual sized philosophy.

Jupiter rx can be socially awkward and withdrawal, or won’t speak their

truth, they are on their own quest to explore knowledge and question

deeply.

Jupiter retrograde people are attracted to conceptual and abstract ideas.

Jupiter retrograde’s intention exemplifies the need to eliminate past beliefs

to become individualised and live by and trust their own found truth.


Jupiter Retrograde individuals include:

Donald Trump, Julian Assange, Malala Yousafzai, Richard Branson, John

Lennon, Greta Thunberg, Randolph Hearst

SATURN RETROGRADE

A Saturn retrograde individual is set to define their own personal authority and

reality, not as indicated by social norms, regulations, laws and authority.

Saturn retrogrades reject authority figures, father is not supported by

traditional roles and early life responsibility.

Aloneness, alienation and the strength and ability to stand on own is

challenged.

Saturn retrograde is one to move beyond limits and regulations.

Mastery, dedication, hard work, commitment emphasised, internalized.

The karmic lesson is to work hard to get it right this time.

Saturn Retrograde individuals include:

Marilyn Monroe, Che Guevara, JK Rowling, Carl Jung, Michelangelo, John

Lennon, Anthony Bourdain, Madonna (st dx)


CHIRON RETROGRADE

Chiron retrograde natives experience more profound initiations to discover

unrecognized abilities.

Their experience of recognizing that the most beaten down parts of self

are actually ones greatest strengths, the Chironic wound is deeper.

The chronic experience, of feeling outcast, different, unwanted


Chiron Retrograde individuals include:

Bjork, Martin Luther King, Graham Bell, Isaac Newton, KD Lang

Are Re-organizing, rebirthing, re-visioning collective impulses.

These natal retrogrades - reinforce and individualize the outer planet to a

greater extent.

The collective experience and transpersonal growth is greatly internalized.

Outer Retrograde planets show more personalized and directed energy

when closely tied to the Sun, Moon or Ascendant.

Uranus only Rx planet: Albert Einstein

URANUS RETROGRADE

The urge for freedom, not restricting freedom on others, compelled to

leadership roles that reinforce freedom principles.

Uranus Rx emphasizes experimentation, rebellion, individuation

Uranus Rx can often feel left out, detached from others, that they don’t

belong and relive many karmic issues through family ties and group

dynamics.

Uranus retrograde correlates to a Soul who has experienced various kinds of

traumas that remain unresolved.

THE OUTER PLANETS: URANUS, NEPTUNE AND PLUTO RETROGRADE

THE OUTER PLANETS: URANUS, NEPTUNE AND PLUTO RETROGRADE


NEPTUNE RETROGRADE

With about half the population having Neptune retrograde like Pluto it

reinforces collective evolution and universal oneness on all levels.

Neptune retrograde can stress self destructive behavior, phobias and

addictions and self sacrifice to serve the collective.

Neptune rx is learning to bring true dreams to fulfillment, and is led to

uncover the meaning behind everything and the interrelatedness of all, it

amplifies the creative urge,

A connection to the collective unconscious runs deeper, and is more

sensitized to collective waves and currents and need for divine connection.


Neptune only Rx planet:

Bob Dylan, Stationing Rx; Nicola Tesla, stationing dx; Galileo

Pluto only rx planet: Bob Dylan, Station Dx; Martin Luther King

PLUTO RETROGRADEWith half the population having Pluto retrograde accelerates the evolutionary

process: individually and, collectively.

As JWG states that retrograde Pluto places the emphasis on the desire to

return to the Source of the Soul, to evolve in a more accelerated fashion.

Pluto retrograde individuals delve deeper into collective psyche, have a strong

urge to reform values, and systems, and are more comfortable confronting the

depths of the unconscious.

Look up charts for people you may think embody these outer planet

archetypes retrograde, as there are too may to mention!

SPECIAL CASES

Vincent Van Gogh, Coco Channel, Alexandra Ocasio Cortez, Bill Gates , Eva

Peron, Liz Greene.

Individuals with NO retrograde planets include:

6 retrograde planets: Mark Zuckerberg.


PLANETS STATIONING

Inner planets will turn retrograde as evening stars (setting after the Sun)

Mercury when about 20° behind the Sun, and Venus about 30° behind the

Sun (setting after the Sun)

Inner planets will turn direct as morning stars (rising before the Sun)

Mercury when approximately 20° ahead of the Sun, and Venus 30° ahead

of the Sun.

It’s quite easy to check for stationing retrograde or stationing direct Planets.

Of course checking an ephemeris will always confirm where planets are and

how fast or slow they are traveling. Yet a simple understanding of synodic

cycles will help you see clearly from a chart, alerting you to check.



PLANETS STATIONING (CONT'D)

Exterior Planets or outer planets will turn retrograde as morning planets

(rising well before the Sun)

Pluto and Neptune station retro and direct at about the 90° mark ahead

and behind the Sun.

Chiron and Uranus station retro and direct about 100° mark ahead and

behind of the Sun,

Jupiter and Saturn station retro and direct at about 120° mark in ahead

and behind the Sun

Mars stations retro and direct about the 150° mark ahead and behind the

Sun.



RETROGRADE REFLECTIONS

List all your retrograde planets. Note if they are also near stationary points.

How does understanding the planet, by being stationary or retrograde, help

you to deepen your understanding of the function of the planet in your chart?

What have been some of your life experiences so far of the retrograde

planet?

Planetary Relationships: Aspects, Pairs and PatternsMODULE THREE

PLANETARY RULERSHIPS

Part Two


IN THIS LESSON

With the considerations of all chart factors that come prior to this, having now

studied the elements, the modes, planets by signs and houses, the aspects, the

aspect patterns created and chart shapes, the nodal axis, its aspects and rulers,

Pluto and its PPP we now move to consider the impact of retrograde planets and a

few other things that can be taken into account for natal chart delineation and

synthesis.


INTRODUCTION

Planetary rulership

Essential dignities

Dispositors

Mutual receptions and other considerations.

Essential dignity or debility, is a traditional method used to determine planetary

condition. All signs, angles and houses have planetary rulers. We asses planets

gaining strength or receiving extra challenges by being in particular signs or houses

when looking at their sign rulers, giving us more information about the chart

dynamic. More below.

PLANETARY RULERSHIPS

Are the ruling planet of a sign, which another planet is in. All planets in a sign have

a dispositor, unless of course they are in their rulership. eg Venus in Leo is disposited

by the Sun. Therefore the dispositor of Venus in Leo is the Sun (ruler of Leo). Venus

at the same time is the dispositor of any planets in her ruling signs, Taurus and

Libra. Dispositors help link a chain or theme in a chart. The Sun in Leo however, has

no dispositor, as it is in its own rulership. Essentially we look for each sign’s ruler, to

find the dispositor, unless in home sign. You can see how planets hold power in their

home sign as they stop the chain of command.

DISPOSITORS


The chart ruler is the planet that rules the Ascendent, we look for its placements

and condition - house, aspects etc. in the chart. We also consider rulers of the

Sun and the Moon and how these 3 main rulers see each other in the chart as

well. More below:


CHART RULERSHIPS

Mutual Reception occurs when two planets are in each other's signs of rulership.

Example: Mercury is in Aries and Mars is in Gemini; Mars in Libra - Venus in Aries;

Jupiter in Virgo - Mercury in Sagittarius; Mars in Scorpio - Pluto in Aries; Moon in

Leo - Sun in Cancer

MUTUAL RECEPTION

A singleton or an inferior function, can be a great source of motivation and

creative expression and well worth considering analysing further.

It is always advised to keep an eye out for things that make a chart unique, or shift

the dynamic and function in a certain way, therefore singletons or any anomalies

are worth considering. These may include unaspected planets(use the 5 main

aspects) missing or unique functions, like no Air in a chart or an unaspected Mars,

no squares, only one retrograde planet or something else.

SINGLETONS

When planets are in mutual reception they do not need to be in aspect to be

connected and are supportive bring strength and provide assistance to each

other. They get how the other planet works, they consult with each other

Planets in Mutual reception connect the houses and signs they are in.

Being aware of Mutual Reception in one's natal chart, can bring tremendous

insight into the nature of one's behavioral patterns and how to consciously

work with these to evolve and balance these energies.

Don’t forget to see traditional rulers as well:

Example: with Mars in Pisces and Jupiter in Aries, we would want to consider

both modern and traditional rulerships of Aries and Pisces!

Mars in Pisces (Jupiter as ruler)) - Jupiter in Aries ( ruled by Mars)

Mars in Pisces - (Neptune as ruler) - Neptune in Scorpio( ruled by Mars)


In previous models we have covered the planets as the rulers of the signs, it is

also worth considering planets and their essential dignities and debilities -

rulership, exaltation, fall and detriment. These considerations give us more

information on the function of the planet’s strengths and potential weak

points, they deserve noting and further inquiry.

THE KEY to Essential dignity is to consider the way a planet acts, or acts out

in a particular sign, used extensively in Horary Astrology to determine

planetary dynamics, but also helping us in natal interpretation to ascertain

planetary strength within a chart. It is not about seeing the planets as

controlling or damaged, but rather about the affinity and resonance between

planets in certain signs.

Some astrologers have changed the unfortunate words of “detriment”, and

“fall” in their work by using words like “adversity” and “depression” instead.

We take in these meanings as essential guides to help us better determine

how a planet operates in a particular sign, instead of seeing them as

unfortunate signatures in the chart, as the words suggest.

In EA astrology modern planetary rulership is mostly used, yet these days

astrology moves toward a synthesis of modern and traditional methods, it is

best at this stage of learning to not cast out traditional rulers like Jupiter for

Pisces and Mars for Scorpio and consider both modern and traditional rulers

in chart delineation. With practice one can decide which they would prefer to

use. EA Astrology uses modern rulership, yet for some ancient methods,

traditional rulers should also be considered.

In examples used, I will pay attention to traditional rulers, to avoid confusion,

but i will always consider modern rulers and dispositors as well. What I have

found that using both adds much to the natal story.

a planet in rulership is a planet in its own domicile-home.

is comfortable, at home, able to act with ease, natural, has what it needs around.

Example: Mars in Aries, Venus in Taurus, Saturn in Capricorn etc

Rulership

a planet in detriment is seen to be out of place, at its most vulnerable, far from

home , safety and security, does not have as much support or strength in its

placement.

Example: Moon in Capricorn is in detriment and functions in a way that is

antithesis to what the Moon represents, self care and nurturing; In Capricorn, the

Moon acts responsible for others, instead of needed nurturing of self

Detriment

a planet in exaltation is seen as a special guest, receiving the royal treatment,

getting the best of the best, yet this is still not like at home, but on show, can act

spoilt, precious or superficially.

Example: Saturn in Libra is in exaltation and it is like being in heaven for Saturn,

everything is geared to balance and order, just how Saturn likes it.

Exaltation


MODULE FOUR

Sun in the 5th, Moon in the 3rd, Mercury in the 1st, Venus in the 5th, Mars in

the 6th, Jupiter in the 11th, Saturn in the 12th.

Example : if the Moon was in Cancer in the 3rd house, it would also gain extra

strength and expression by being in its JOY in the 3rd House as it would if it

were in its comfort zone and natural place in the 4th House.

Example: Mars is in JOY in the 6th house, and not when in Virgo.

Traditional astrologers also considered planets to hold JOY in particular houses,

something to keep in mind.

Planets are in JOY:

It is important to note, JOY is by House, not sign.

Consider why these other placements of planets would find JOY in the above

mentioned houses!

Planets in JOY

a planet is seen to have least strength, is compromised in its ability to act.

Example : Mercury in Pisces - does not gather information in a logical typical

mercurial fashion, but has its own way of operating through communicating in

images, metaphors, feelings and inspiration. This can be a great gift as well

as a challenge.

Fall

Uranus-Aquarius

Neptune-Pisces

Pluto- Scorpio

Some streams of astrology assign the outer planets to a particular detriment, fall

and exaltation as well, yet it’s best to keep to the traditional planets and just use

the outer planets as modern co-rulers of signs instead:

The idea of the outer planets and their transpersonal qualities, is that they RULE

wherever they are and don’t need extra weight to them, or to be considered as

weakened or exalted anywhere.

Outer Planets and Modern Rulerships


MODULE FOUR

When it comes to planetary rulerships and chart interpretation, the main things

to consider are the planetary rulers of the Ascendent, the Sun, Moon and the

MC, and their dispositors. We have already worked with Nodal Rulers in previous

segments as these too are most important in EA astrology.

CHART RULERS AND DISPOSITORS

The Chart Ruler is the planet that rules the Ascendant sign. We look further

at where this planet is, what sign, what house. We look at this planet to get

more information about the person, their drive, their purpose and their

modus operandi, with what aspects it makes or receives and what condition

it is in and what and where is its dispositor. Is it retrograde, does it have

squares, is it on the nodes etc ?

Example: if Aries is your Ascendant sign, we pay extra special attention to

ruler Mars and how it is operating in the natal chart. If Mars is in Libra, we

also look to the dispositor of Mars, which is Venus for extra information.

Venus disposits Mars, as he is in her domicle.

We may also consider the ruler of the Sun, and the Moon and their

dispositors, to help us find ongoing themes running throughout the chart,

giving more information about the function of a particular planet.

Chart rulers, and dispositors work together to weave particular themes and

narratives through our natal charts and astrology in general. Look for

dominant themes, or planets that show upon more frequently.

What if Mercury ruled your ASC, MC, and your MOON, and Mercury was in

Pisces and retrograde?

Apply dispositors to Nodal rulers, for extra information on the Nodal axis.

Example:


MODULE FOUR

HOUSE RULERS AND DISPOSITORS

If there are no planets in a house we can look at house cusp rulers, and

dispositors for more information regarding that house.

For an individual who has no planets in 9th house, the cusp of the 9th house is

Leo. To gain further info about the 9th house, we look to the planetary ruler of

the cusp, which is the Sun. We look at the Sun placement to get more

information on how the 9th house operates. The Sun is in Pisces in the 4th

house, and the dispositor of the Sun is Jupiter (& Neptune). We look for how

these planets are operating to get even more information about the native’s

9th house. Do they trine the 9th house, square the 9th house, is there a

connection or not?

Example:

Example - Anonymous - 20th Feb, 1968- 1:40pm Sydney


MODULE FOUR

Traditional Rulership

Chart ruler - Mercury - disposited by Saturn

Sun ruler - Jupiter - disposited - Mercury

Moon ruler - Mars - in Aries in domicile/rulership

Modern Rulership

Chart ruler - Mercury - disposited by Uranus

Sun ruler - Neptune - disposited by Pluto

Moon ruler - Pluto - in Scorpio in modern rulership sign

In this chart we can see strong themes develop when we look at therulerships and their dispositors.

Co-ruler of Aquarius Uranus, modern ruler.

Uranus is in Virgo, a Mercury ruled sign, retrograde in the 4th house.

The ruler of ascendant is Mercury. Mercury is retrograde in the 9th House in

Aquarius. It is in a trine aspect with the South Node and sextile to the North

Node, with an inconjunction to Pluto and a square to Neptune and the Moon. It is

disposited by Saturn traditional ruler, Saturn is in Aries in detriment in the 10th

house.

Modern ruler Neptune is in Scorpio in the 6th squared by retrograde Mercury,

and disposited by Pluto in Virgo on IC.

The Sun in Pisces also in the 9th house, is disposited by Jupiter. Jupiter is in

Mercury’s sign, opposing the Sun in the 3rd house.

Modern ruler Pluto is angular at the IC, also in Mercury’s sign.

The Moon is in Scorpio in detriment in the 6th house, disposited by Mars. Mars is

in 10th house in his own sign, strong in its placement.


MODULE FOUR

This person is a deep and unique thinking individual, a writer and whistleblower

of sorts, and a conspiracy theorist with many wild and way out ideas and

philosophies that he is compelled to share with the world. His theories and ideas

have gotten him into much strife and trouble over the years because of it. He has

never followed any traditional methods of work. His idealistic nature and vision

for a better world and wanting to help fix it and not wanting to be part of it, can

be seen as the theme running through his astrology as we connect rulers and

dispositors. He is a big risk taker and daring, not giving up, obsessive, beyond

what is good for him, and taking care of himself. He has been arrested and

accused of being a terrorist, had many deep issues with drugs and addictions,

yet has a strong and compelling need to tell the world exactly how $%(^(PP) up

it is often disregarding the consequences.

Some strengthening charts factors are:

A mutual reception - Uranus in Virgo and Mercury in Aquarius - these two

planets can bee seen to recognize each other, conspire together, and

understand each other.

Mars is in rulership - He has the bravado to stand up to authority, Mars is

also conjunct Saturn, and has been punished for that, even locked up in

mental institutions. It is the ruler of his North Node, and he is a sole

operator taking it all on by himself.

The chart ruler, trickster Mercury retrograde in Aquarius, is a strong

archetype, playing out strongly in his life. When we connect the trail of

connections, we start finding a clearer theme and working purpose behind

it all.
