These Retrogrades Hold a Promise

Venus and Mercury turn retrograde within the same stretch of time, each doubling back across the Aries-Pisces threshold three times. In this video Jennie and I break down what these retrogrades mean, their cycles, and how to work with the energies rather than against them. We explore the dynamic exchange between Pisces and Aries, the tension between pause and impulse, and how we as individuals will experience this.

The first days of March bring a surge forward—quick decisions, a sense of urgency, the pressure to move. But as the retrogrades take hold, the message is clear: slow down. The world may be changing rapidly, but these planets demand an inward process before moving ahead. We must develop compassion before leaping into action. The two eclipses in mid and late March sharpen this point, forcing a reckoning with internal judgments that stand in the way.

Handled well, these retrogrades hold the promise of the spiritual warrior—the one who moves forward, but only after deeply considering the suffering and needs of humanity as a whole.

Watch the first 47 minutes for a solid breakdown of how these retrogrades work—what they mean, how they move, and why they matter. Then, skip ahead to your Rising sign for the personal impact. If you don’t know your Rising sign, use your Sun sign instead.
