When planets retrograde, we are given the opportunity to reflect, rethink, and recreate new approaches to our lives based on the planet’s transit.

Summer 2020 will feel like a traffic jam of emotions and events when Pluto, Saturn, Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury go retrograde. The global social distancing is giving the world an opportunity to rethink everything.
The year 2020 has a universal vibration of 4, which represents foundation, home, hard work, and security. Saturn is in sidereal Capricorn until April 2022 and has shown the global community which foundations need the most work. This sets a tone for how to build upon the new foundation.
Below is the schedule of the planets’ retrograde based on the ascendant, but also check from your moon sign. Download the app Align27 if you are not already familiar with your sidereal natal chart.
Pluto Retrograde in Capricorn: April 25 – October 4, 2020
The planet of releasing emotional attachments is guiding us through the patient goat to reflect on old structures then letting them go. Pluto has something better for us to cling to, if we are open to it.

Saturn Retrograde in Capricorn: May 10 – September 28, 2020
This sage is home in its own sign. The feminine energy of Capricorn allows Saturn to pour its wisdom about longterm planning, diligence, and hard work in the grounded sign of ambition and perseverance. On a personal level, Saturn is guiding the collective to rethink what it wants to do longterm and to heal the root chakra. Externally, this is connected to the different institutional structures Saturn governs (government, banking, agriculture).

Jupiter Retrograde in Capricorn: May 14 – June 29, 2020
The planet of expansion, adventure, and spirituality is not comfortable in slow and methodical Capricorn. But it may guide the collective to rethink how adventure looks; where to expand in relation to Jupitarian themes; and creating a spiritual routine that matches the energy of Capricorn. Further, Jupiter is connected to the sacral chakra. Click here for the House Aspects sheet.
Jupiter Retrograde in Sagittarius: June 29 – September 12, 2020
Strength is gained here, as Jupiter is back in its own masculine sign. But the retrograde is slowing down the collective to reflect on what it believes. Question if it’s in alignment with what is broadcast and in print. Click here for the House Aspects sheet.
