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. You are very giving, optimist and generous, which might cause some problems in this life as you might attract ungrateful people. You might be high on senses, you might “sense” things before they happen. You might be anxious, as if things are going too fast and you are not gonna catch up to them. With this retrograde, you can make things happen with deep thinking and mediation as you can channel your positive energy very well. You can always find a help, even if it is in the last minute, whenever you need. Spirituality is very important to you and you might try to find meaning in everything in that sense sunconsciously.

When you have Saturn in Retrograde, it is believed that you have been restricted by your parents and/or your spouses in your previous life, you might also be physically obstructed. You might have a repressed feeling as if you are not enough for things. You might be anxious about future, you might be pessimistic and you might try to secure yourself with materiality. And the reason for all this might be caused by a parental figure who had been very tough with you, very disciplined and way too firm; or the loss of this parental figure might also be effective. Family and divorces might be the main focus in this life. With this retrograde, it is adviced to never leave things unfinished in your life as it is believed that these matters will come back to you in the future. You might dislike/be scared of closed places and you might have claustrophobia as it represents a restriction.

When you have Uranus in Retrograde, you are likely to be a fighter for freedom in your previous life. Words, ideas and freedom was very imporant to you, you might have been even punished for speaking your mind freely. You might not act the way you feel like up until you are at a certain age. You might be prone to ban yourself or restrict yourself from specific subjects such as sex, up until certain age and you might have an explotion then. You might want to live differently than the society and the theme of freedom is very important to you. You might be restless for a long time in your life, without an actual reason. You might have different kind of friendships. If you have your Venus and Mars in aspect to this retrograde, you might want to try things that no one dares to try sexually. If your Retrograde Uranus is afflicted and/or has a lot of aspects to many planets, you might be in search for your sexuality. You might have an unusual way of “loving”, meaning that you might be hot and cold at the same time and this might confuse the people around you.

When you have Neptune in Retrograde, it is believed that you had a problem regarding anesthesia and drugs, you were dead by poisoning and/or your death was in the sea/ocean. Your behavior towards people is like a mirror, it depends on the way people treat you. You might miss and want the love back in the different times, history might have a lot of meaning for you. Addiction might be the main problem in this life, you might be addicted to people or materials. You might be afraid of water, doctors, hospitals or drugs. Chaos might have taken place in your childhood. Dreams might be important, you might sense things and you might have a strong 6th sense. Alcohol and drugs might be a way of relieving anxiety.

When you have Pluto in Retrograde, it is believed that you had serious problems regarding sex, that you want to erase from your mind, in your previous life. You might have an anxiety regarding the people you love in this life time. You might have a problem or restriction with sexuality up until certain age and problems with sexuality might cause psychological problems. You might have an obsessive, intense and different kind of approach towards sexuality. You might appear though and strong but deep down, you might be anxious about sexuality, death and the afterlife. Generally, the sexual affairs you have may be problematic until a certain age, but eventually retrograde Pluto rests and begins to forget previous-life traumas.

When you have Chiron in Retrograde, it indicates a healing persona. You might have been an healer, you might be a doctor in your previous life. Some believe that this placement also indicates an association with witchcraft in the previous life, resulting in being scared of fire in this life. You might have strange birthmarks on your body. Also you might want to try spiritual things in this life, such as reiki.

When you have Nodes in Retrograde, it is associated with our past lives. If your North Node is in aspect to your natal planets more than the South Node, it is believed that you came as a wise soul who learned from your past lives and you will use the traits you learned from those lives in a good way, positively. If your South Node is in aspect to your natal planets more than the North, it indicates that you failed to learn from your past lives and you will have problems regarding that in this lifetime. The houses in which the Nodes are placed in will be the main focus in your life.

Shadow Work Journaling Prompts #6

Good Morning Tumblr Family! I hope you are having a great start to the weekend. I wanted to drop another segment of Journal Prompts for you to work on during the week. If you are just now tuning in, no worries, take your time with the previous prompts and use the upcoming prompts when you are ready to.

These prompts are more reflecting where your anger is stemming from. It could be family, friends, past experiences, etc. Lets take a look!

- What makes you really angry? Why? What gets under your skin or bothers you completely to your core? Do you know why this is?

- Did your parents provide you with everything you needed? Did they provide you with emotional support? Did they validate your feelings? Did they provide a safe place for you?

- Do you hold grudges against others that could be let go? What is your motive for holding onto them? These grudges could be anyone in your life that you feel that you are holding a grudge with. (Family, old friends, new friends, coworkers, etc) What was the incident(s) that caused you to feel this way? Are they unhealthy?

- What are your bad habits? Why don’t you break them? We all have at least one bad habit, it could be spending too much time on social media, not taking care of yourself, chewing on your fingernails, etc. How can you break these habits? Why or why don’t you?

I hope you are all doing well during this Shadow Work Journey. This is a reminder that it’s okay to cry and be angry during this process. Make sure you journal why you are upset and how you can work through those emotions. Your journey is YOUR JOURNEY. As always, if you are having a difficult time please reach out for support. I am not a licensed professional however my inbox is open for questions and/or support.

You got this!! Keep going!!

Free Tarot Readings for Feedback🪐

Hi anyone who reads this, my name is Giulia and I am looking for people to do free tarot readings for in exchange for some honest feedback! I've been doing tarot readings for myself for about 5 years now, with a limited amount of readings done for friends within that time period.

It wasn't until this year when I truly began to notice significant intuitive messages in my readings, and their insightfulness hit me like a ton of bricks. I feel ready though now and confident that I need to branch out and get more experience reading for people I don't know.

I'm open to reading for absolutely anyone! It will be one question (or one 'topic' or 'realm' of which you're seeking intuitive guidance on) for one reading between 1-3 cards. When you get your reading I just want your feedback, honestly, on what you thought of the reading, if it felt insightful, relevant...and if it did not, please let me know what you didn't connect to (My sole purpose is to develop my craft and this feedback would be invaluable!).

Just send me a message @healingmoonlight with your reading request, or if you have a question we can talk :’)

https://healingmoonlight.tumblr.com/ask

I don't know how long I'll do this for, or how many requests I'll even get, but if I decide to not take anymore requests, I'll reblog this post again updated :')

Grateful for anyone who read this and may participate!

Love, Giulia

Common Witch Misconceptions Pt. 1

Here are some common misconceptions I see both in and out of our witchy community.

We are all pagan.

This is very common, even in witch circles. There are many witches that aren't religious, many witches that follow religions that are not pagan (such as Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Shinto, etc.), and many witches that are atheists or agnostic.

We are all Wiccan.

Just... nope. Wicca is a religion, it does incorporate witchcraft, but witchcraft has been around a lot longer than Wicca has.

We all believe in the Three-Fold Law.

Again, nope. This is a Wiccan rule. It's a doctrine that Wiccans follow, not witches.

We all worship the Devil/Lucifer/Satan.

I'd say most of us don't even believe that the Devil exists. However, to those who do, most of them don't worship him. And to those who do worship him, they are not bad people and often see Lucifer in a different light than how Christians see him.

We aren't critical thinkers.

Hey, hi, hello, this one really bothers me. I understand thinking that we might be a little odd, but we aren't dumb or idiots for having a different spirituality than you. Many of us (at the least 4,000 on tumblr) are actually very into skepticism for witchcraft and believe that it is important to have!

Our magic is like the movies.

Nope. Not even close. All of the magic that I have experienced has been purely spiritual. I have never been able to summon fire, or move something telekinetically, or have those sorts of physical results.

Look out for part two! Hope this helps to dispell some misconceptions!
