Become Inspired Again In Your Craft!

PLANETS IN RETROGRADE IN THE NATAL CHART ✨✨💫

When planets are in retrograde in a natal chart, the traits associated with that planet are internalized and kept hidden instead of being openly and readily expressed. However, you can learn to express these parts of you, and you can learn to grow from the typical qualities of a planet in retrograde.

Thank you @aurora701-blog for giving me the idea for this post!!

The mind and the expression of your thoughts is internalized, everything that circulates around your mind is often kept private and rarely ever leaves your mouth. You may prefer to keep your deep, innermost thoughts as private as possible, and may have difficulty when it comes to expressing yourself through words and communicating comfortably with others.

The expression of love and your appreciation of beauty and aesthetics may be something that you don’t express to others often. Love and truly showing that love may be something that is difficult for you, being comfortable in relationships may be something that you have to work towards, and you’re possibly more likely to be fearful when it comes to telling your crush that you like them.

When you are angered, others may not even notice. Anger and passion may be something that you are unable to express comfortably and easily. You most likely hold in your anger in an unhealthy way, and may even be prone to realeasing it in random fits of rage or total breakdowns when you are no longer able to hold your anger within. Others may see you as a “chill” person, but that does not mean that your anger doesn’t exist beneath the surface.

Your philosophies, view on religion, and view on life in general may be something that is very personal and private to you. You may not be one that often expresses their thoughts on society and the world as a whole, these thoughts may be kept in your head as your most private and innermost thoughts. The expansion of Jupiter will also be internalized, there is a great opportunity for internal growth and expansion during the course of your life.

Who you are and who you will become has been barricaded from you, you put limitations on everything that you are capable of accomplishing in life, and those restrictions start from the inside. You may feel as if you are never enough or that you’ll never live up to other’s expectations, that you’re in a constant loop of failure or of dissappointing others. No matter what you accomplish, there may be a tiny part of yourself that will still nag you about what you haven’t done.

You may not readily partake in protests and revolutions in public, and may prefer to let your thoughts about how the world should change inside. Due to this, you may not see yourself as a very revolutionary or unique person, as you also may keep your quirks and individual interests/ideas to yourself. Inside, you may want to protest, to rise up against whoever or whatever you don’t agree with, to be a strong source of movement and forward thinking for others, but you may be scared to do so.

Instead of Neptune clouding or mystifying your view on the world, Neptune has clouded and mystified your view on yourself. Recognizing who you really are and not the mirage that you have put up for yourself may be a difficult tasks, and questioning your identity may be a relevant theme throughout the course of your life. You’re going to have to discover which parts of you are genuine and which parts of you are not actually there.

Internally, there is a war. Constant internal transformations, internal death upon internal death, internal rebirth upon internal rebirth, they may dramatically alter who you were at birth and who you are now. Be ready for great changes in terms of who you believe you are on the inside and who you will become. There is a tremendous power and presence that is beneath the surface of who you are, whether you realize it or not.

I will be sharing one of the reasons why I started my journey in Witchcraft.

1. Action

I grew up in a Religion full of dogma and rules. I was religious since I was a kid. My grandmother taught me everything spiritual that she knew. As years passed by, I watched how people began to use religion for their personal and political gains, fame, manipulation and how people use bible to invalidate other people's opinion.

Growing up, I also observed people in the game of Facts Vs Opinions. Until now, people feel entitled of their ideas because, they can just google and read everything and feel like they know-it-all. And because of that people are scared to admit things that "they don't know".

As I age, I started to question everything. I ponder about all the things I want to know. Endlessly searching for my truth. Then I found Witchcraft. As I delved into this "craft", I found my pieces. I found my components.

On the first 3 years of my craft, all I did was research and Divination. I was certain that this is what I want. I was doing the craft to help people around me and to get to know my self.

5 years in the craft and I already started to look at the bigger picture.

One of my sure and certain reason of why I kept doing and practicing this Spiritual belief. It is because, I am not a type of person who will just sit and wish to have the things that I want in my life. I am not just in to "manifesting and law of attraction". I am more than that. I am capable of directing where I want to go. It's pretty much, I am the director of my own story type of thing.

Witchcraft made me work on my soul. It showed me that lighting a candle, praying and doing spells is not enough. It showed me that I need to do something, I need to move, to create, to pursue, to achieve. I am made that way.

Witchcraft showed me guidance, taught me that when I need help or a boost, it's just me who can do it. It's just me who can channel that energy and put it out on the mundane. (That time I knew why witches live alone in the forests 😂)

It taught me. I can't rely on everyone. People are just there to listen.

That's how it got into me, all this years of study taught me how Witchcraft is a helping hand. A way of life. A mindset and lifestyle. It was not just about "I want to have that, I want to have this." It is more like, "How can I have this? Alas! I know what to do."

Disclaimer: This is my experience. If you're don't agree on my views and opinions. Fckoff. Sorry I'm not that all love and light witch. 🤭

Retrograde Placements

A Retrograde means that a planet begins to move very slowly that it looks as if it’s going backwards in our point of view, from the Earth. But it is, in fact, just a very slow motion.

It is believed that the number of Retrogrades you have on your chart is the number of lives you have lived in this Earth. You are likely to have more de ja vu’s, because you are gifted in your senses. If you do not have any retrogrades on your chart, you are believed to be a fresh soul who is prone to making mistakes and can be considered as “naive.”

When you have Mercury in Retrograde, it is believed that you have been silenced in your previous life, the ideas and the words couldnt come out of your mouth -which might lead you to speak your mind freely in this life. Your sisters/brothers are believed to cause you problems in your previous life, also. That is why you might treat them differently in this lifetime, you might even be obsessed with them as if something might happen to them. If you dont have any siblings, this applies to the people you consider as your sister/brother. Your technologic devices might cause problems to you, the help you need from other people might not occur up until the last minute. You might pronounce some words differently and communication is very important to you. Hands might also cause problems, you could break some stuff and hurt your hands in your childhood. Writing can also be a great way of learning for you. You are prone to be misunderstood very much in your daily life, travelling is also very important to you. Subconsciously, you might try to to find and search for your “previous homeland” by travelling.

When you have Venus in Retrograde, it is likely that in your previous life, you have found your soulmate, however, you lost your partner too soon or you had a restriction with them, which might lead you to search for your missing soulmate in this life. Relationships might be the main focus of your problems in this life time. You might not choose to have casual relationships, even if you have your Venus in air or fire signs. Previous lovers and ex’s might always be in the agenda. The idea for searching for your true match is reflected to all your personal relationships, you might treat your loved ones as if you’re gonna lose them -because you have, in your previous life. You might turn down nice people romantically, feeling they dont have the traits of your previous lovers and the term of “karmic” is basically your approach to all close relationships. These people are prone to have more than one marriages, due to this endless search. Subconsciously, the last marriage they have, is the one with their missing soulmate. 

When you have Mars in Retrograde, you are believed to be associated with “war” in your previous life. In a woman’s chart, it is believed that a soldier was very imporant to you as a lover and you lost him to war. In a man’s chart, it indicates you were, indeed, the soldier. If your Mars is placed in Aries, Scorpio or Capricorn, it is believed that you had a very important role in war, meaning you might have been a colonel, a general, etc. Your aggressiveness is likely to be unstable, your reactions might be unpredictable. Health might be the main problem in your life, this retrograde also indicates surgeries (look up to the sign to see which body parts). Sexual unfulfillment can cause psychological problems and you might attract/be attracted to people who might not suit you and can cause you personal problems. Accidents may occur a lot, both as a child and as an individual. You might be ambitious, you might order people around a lot.

When you have Jupiter in Retrograde, you are believed to have a different religion than you have in this life, which makes you a very tolerant and kind people who does not classify people with their religion, race and sexuality.
