Understanding Retrogrades Kindle Edition

by Helen Adams (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.6 3.6 out of 5 stars 10 ratings
See all formats and editions
Traditional astrology regarded a retrograde natal planet as being weakened, but many of today’s astrologers have different opinions. They see a retrograde planet’s energy as more internalized or strengthened, or that it is associated with delays and confusion. For example, when Mercury is retrograde, mail is often lost, appointments are missed, and communication breaks down. According to the Helen Adams, the author, “For far too long retrograde planets have been misunderstood or not understood at all . . . retrogrades are not really all bad!” Here she presents a guide to interpreting rerograde planets in the natal and progressed chart, as well as by transit, with one chapter devoted to each planet. Also included is practical information about each retrograde planet’s relationship to life activities and events.

Mediocre book IMO. Very thin book with basic rx planet (transits) info. Good for beginner students of astrology. It was okay, depends on where you're at in your astrology studies.

This book came in timely fashion, in excellent condition and I enjoyed reading it. I would recommend it to anyone interested in learning about retrogrades or more about retrogrades if they already know something about them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Should be required reading for any professional astrological certifications
Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2016
In my opinion, this work is quite through and complete in that it is perhaps one of few books attempting to explain or detail the often sketchy subject of planetary motions as found in the natal chart. The author is informative and complete in their understanding and opinion of the way retrogradation is delineated in the birth chart. To often, this subject is considered a grey area and I like the way the author delivers her opinion without apologizing for having done so or flattering herself, setting herself high above these heavens a seemingly self righteous indignation , rendering her predictive work very practical and useful by detailing the possibilities of retrograde motion thru the birth chart and it's affects of these aspects by sign and by house cusp, and of course by aspect an apparent motion as it then relates to the birth chart, the progressed chart and the solar return chart. There is even attention given to transiting aspects - it's all relative. It appears as if this work was personal for the author, which I admire immensely since time, effort and considerable study were necessary to present these predilections and the pages are filled with more than pure fluff or mere speculative ideas; Instead they are her hard earned experience being shared by someone who has chosen to enlighten fellow Astrologers and therapist alike, teachers of the occult,adepts of the ancient schools, etc.
(Bless her)
The information contained herein is not merely regurgitated statistics alongside other commonly held notions of what constitutes as an astrological "Truth/s.". I am grateful to the author for her understanding of Retrogrades and the changing of direction and stations in planetary motion. Too often, and much to my dismay, I find people who write entire books about absolutely nothing, and I am irritated that the contribution to the astrological community at large, is deemed incredible fantasy,unreliable hogwash, all together unworthy of intelligent discussion.. This work, however, is quite the contrary, and I believe the author has done a nice job of laying it all out for us. Every serious student needs to own a book like this for reference. Well done. Cheers
