Natal Retrogrades: Blessings, not Curses.
If you’ve been here with me for a while as part of the It’s Karmic Cosmic Community, you know that I live and then I experience I experiment, I like to get my toes into everything and feel the energy, and only then I teach you through all of the tools that I am here to use. I teach you guys through this very lived experience of ready to go first, right? And so in that, so many downloads have been dropping in so many guidance points. I've never felt as plugged in or synchronistically guided as I have over the last two years.
So today's conversation, we're actually going to start with something I've thought about, talking more about four years, and it hasn't felt like the right time. And that topic is Retrogrades, and damn they're a big topic.
They're actually one of my favourite things in astrology. They were one of the first things that really jumped out at me when I was studying astrology because my first mentor, Daphna Romanov, spoke about Retrogrades.
Inside of my training with her back in 2019-2020 Daphna spoke about past lives when we got to our studies on Retrogrades. This was like the really only moment inside of my first training and certification, where I was like, “Oh my God CLICK” and my work began to unfold. This is one of those moments where I was poked and prodded into because I knew I was being guided. I was on to something. All of a sudden we were talking about Pluto Retrograde and its energy around past life energy of persecution and powerlessness. And Neptune and its energy around past life, frequencies and lessons in retrograde. So this is actually a really cool topic to bring to you guys. Because it was one of my first moments where I knew I was going down the past life rabbit hole.
In this week's episode I dive into the magick of Retrogrades.
PSA - Retrogrades are BLESSINGS, not curses. Here's the thing, retrogrades emerge as transformative gateways, ushering us into the realms of profound healing.
As we dive into the power of Retrogrades and cultivate an understanding that they are not curses but rather intricate guides, a seismic shift unfolds within our lives.
Retrogrades are often perceived as cosmic setbacks but are truly sacred pathways leading you towards your greatest healing potentials. When you embark on a conscious journey to work with these rhythms massive self-discovery and growth unfolds. This offers unparalleled insights into the magick of your cosmic blueprint.
In this week's episode you’ll discover that Retrogrades in your birth chart are actually gifts, not curses. And you’ll find some ancient teachings out there that state that a person is “negatively affected by having natal retrogrades' or there are some teachings that you’ll meet constant setbacks, or they will bring misfortune or misery.
Countless astrologers, including myself, have not found this to be the case. (I have my natal Mercury, Saturn, Neptune, and Eris in Retrograde in my chart)
What I want you to understand is that each retrograde comes with the magic of it's in internalized experience, and what it means to teach that into the world to share that into the world to heal others by healing yourself, and every single planet, placement, aspect, or asteroid, in your chart.
You are not cursed if you have retrogrades. In fact you’re are blessed (and you’re blessed if you have none!) We are blessings, we are alchemizing things together and some of the shit is going to be sticky. It's going to be crazy. It's going to hurt, we're not going to like it.
But when we use all that energy, we become ripples, we become lighthouses. How many people in your life are impacted by you. Just because you are in the space of learning things like this, right? And you sit in that space and you liberate yourself. And then people all around you feel this ripple effect. And that's all you need to do. That's all we need to do is be the ripple of the magic that your soul came here to work with.
Whether it's astrology, tarot, like food, nutrition, dancing, the dark feminine yoga, whatever it is, it doesn't even matter. It can be completely out of the spectrum. Got like it can be taxes, for God's sake. Some people are literally working with taxes and thank God for my tax girl, right?
So I want you to sit with this. Sit with the energy that you are not cursed, you are blessed. And then start to look at your Retrogrades as those blessings and invite them into your life.
You know, if there's one that's really calling to work with, it speaks to the planets. Ask that planet to show you its lessons, build a little altar for it, get a crystal that is in alignment with that planet. Do what your soul is craving for you to be in connection with that planet. But just do it.
Join me in this cosmic exploration where retrogrades are not curses but the guiding lights leading you toward liberation. You wont regret it.
