Retrogrades in Astrology and Dark Night Initiations of the Soul

by: Pamela M. Gembica, M.A. Counseling Psychology, Depth Psychology Counselor and Coach

1. Astrologically, we are in a retrograde cycle that is challenging and brings the keys to Light up our lives and come up higher.

2. We are all ascending and retrogrades in astrology at the dawning of Aquarius initiates us to examine our lives and change patterns that no longer serve us and our Higher Self.

3. These initiations are known as Dark Nights, some call them Dark Nights of the Soul and Dark Nights of the Ego because it is the ego, the lesser self, that holds onto unconscious patterns that cause us pain and confusion.

4. A retrograde can feel like a Chaos Cycle because everything falls apart; we may experience loss, pain, betrayal, confusion, illness, depression, anxiety....what to do?

5. A retrograde of any planet in any zodiacal sign affects all of us no matter what your Sun sign is. Slow down, stop reacting to situations, sit in stillness, meditate, pray for direction, then wait for the answer. Knock and the door will open.

6. Astrology is synchronistic with crucial initiations of the unconscious Shadow self especially during retrogrades.

7. Saturn is our initiator right now and for the next two years. It is in Pisces in your Natal birth chart. Find Pisces in your Natal chart and note the House it is in - that is where you will feel Saturn initiations now and for the next two years!

*An in-depth examination of retrograde initiations will be presented in my Meru University class later this year. Namaste
