When there is a Retrograde placement in one’s natal chart, it shows areas of life where we have intense energy levels when compared to the houses with the non-retrograde planet placements. However, there would be difficulty or struggle to express this energy fully. In other words, Retrograde energy is one that’s dialed up but remains repressed. When there is a retrograde planet in your natal chart, it can be having either positive or negative effect and it depends on the overall birth chart. The sign where the Retrograde planet is posited, the aspects to this planet, the house it is and the degree involved all are vital in finding the implications of the retrograde placement.
• Mercury turns retrogrades 3 to 4 times a year.
• Venus goes retrograde once every 18 months.
• Mars has the rarest retrograde phase at 7%, which happens every 2 years.
• Jupiter is retrograde for 4 months every year.
• Saturn enters the retrograde motion once a year for 4 ½ months.
The Luminaries Sun and the Moon never go retrograde. Rahu and Ketu or the Nodes of the Moon, always are in retrograde motion. Retrograde planets in the natal chart or ephemeris are marked by R or Rx for easy identification and readability.
• Mercury retrogrades for 24 days during every retrograde phase and is stationary one day before and after.
• Venus is retrograde for 42 days and is stationary approximately two days before and after.
• Mars retrogrades for 80 days and is stationary 3 to 4 days before and after.
• Jupiter retrogrades 120 days is stationary 5 days before and after.
• Saturn retrogrades for 140 days and remains stationary 5 day before and after.
Each planet has it’s own percentage of time when it must retrograde. They are:
• 19.76% - Mercury
• 07.22% - Venus
• 09.33% - Mars
• 30.24% - Jupiter
• 36.39% - Saturn
The Sanskrit name for retrograde planets is “Vakri”. Vakri means twisted, crooked, winding, roundabout, evasive and ambiguous. Vakra Asana in Yoga is twisting the body from back to front. This asana or yoga pose is done to strengthen the spine and make it flexible.
On similar lines, the energy of the retrograde planets is to be flexible, to twist things around, to make them unclear, to teach its message in an indirect way, to view life in a different way. By doing this we strengthen ourselves and become more adaptable, original, innovative and different. On the negative side, with a retrograde placement, one can become a crook or get dishonest. The energy of the Retrograde planet can be either positive or negative and it is upon the individual to use this energy towards constructive purposes.
Here is an analogy. When we are travelling in a train, another train running on a parallel track seems to be moving backwards. Similarly, planets do not actually move backwards, but when viewed form the earth seem so. This means that the area ruled by the retrograde planet is under review and asks for a stop-gap arrangement.

Chart Patterns 2025 Transits - Wedge, Yod, Arrow head, kite and grand trine aspects in astrology
08 Feb 2025 . 6 mins read
Aspect patterns in astrology are special geometric formations created by multiple planetary aspects in a birth chart or transit chart. These patterns hold significant meaning and influence the way planetary energies interact. Chart patterns or aspect patterns are especially powerful forecasting tools, particularly if they align with natal planets.
Below is some key aspect patterns considered to be of prime importance in astrological studies:
In the astrology, a wedge is an asymmetrical aspect pattern that involves three planets, with two in opposition and the third in trine and sextile. The third planet is called the apex planet.
• The opposition (180 deg) between the two planets creates conflict or stress.
• The apex planet provides a release or outlet for the other two planets.
• The wedge pattern can be stressful and conflict-oriented, but it can also be dynamic and motivating.
• The apex planet can be the driving force that spurs the opposing planets into action.
This type of wedge involves two planets in opposition and a third planet in semi-square aspect to one and sesqui-quadrate to the other. The energy of a hard wedge can be one of irritation, annoyance, or frustration.
Leonardo da Vinci, Winston Churchill, Meryl Streep, Bonnie Raitt, Margaret Atwood, Amal Clooney, and Barack Obama.
The wedge aspect pattern is very common among individuals with significant achievements across various fields.

How it's formed
• Two planets are 60° apart, or sextile
• A third planet is 150° from the other two planets, or quincunx

A Yod represents a karmic or fated mission, often bringing unexpected shifts and spiritual growth. The person may feel a strong sense of destiny but struggle to understand their path at times.

A Grand trine in astrology is a powerful configuration where three planets in a chart form an equilateral triangle, meaning they are all 120 degrees apart from each other and share the same element (fire, earth, air, or water), signifying a natural flow of energy and potential for ease and harmony in the areas of life represented by those planets and signs; essentially, it's considered a very positive aspect in astrology.
This is a highly favorable aspect pattern, indicating natural talents, luck, and an easy flow of energy. However, the ease of a Grand Trine can sometimes lead to complacency, as things may come too easily.
