Each year, almost all planets go through periods when they appear to be moving backwards.
Planets go around the Sun. As they "round the bend" from our point-of-view, they appear to slow down, stop, slide backward, stop again, and then move forward—this cycle is known as "retrograde."
Retrograde or "Rx" comes from the Latin word "retrogradus," which means "backward step." . . .
Manila, March 16, 2019 - Pluto entered 22° Capricorn on February 13, 2019. The period between February 13, 2019 thru January 2020 will be a very painful, precarious, and challenging time for everyone, most especially those who have natal planets or points at 22°.
If you have a natal planet or point in 22°, learn as much as you can about Pluto in 22°.
Pluto
Pluto transforms anything it touches. It is responsible for staging rites of passages in our lives. . . .
April 14. On the day facilities in Damascus were bombed, the countries mentioned on the front page news—Syria, France, UK, US and Russia—had one thing in common. They all have natal Planets at 21°.
On that day, both Pluto and Jupiter Rx were at 21°, allowing the fateful events on that day to happen.
Today, news bureaus are quiet except for commentaries and speculations.
Beginning April 23. A week from now, Pluto, the Planet of immense power and transformation will join Jupiter and turn retrograde; still at 21°.
Pluto will back up and redo the events that took place in Damascus on April 14; this time, more intensely.
Beginning May 27. Five weeks later, Pluto will slide to 20° and drag other nations including Turkey, Iran and North Korea into the ring.
Pluto is larger than life, omnipotent and alchemical. When retrograde, Pluto is dead set on imparting three things:
1. The right use of power
2. How to transform lead to gold which always requires death—be it gross or subtle
3. Nothing ever dies; only its form changes
Is there a way to change the course of events? What will it take? Watch out for Part II.
