Mercury Retrograde Periods in 2016
Although not quite as popular as Sun sign astrology, “Mercury Retrograde” has certainly become a buzzword–or buzz phrase–these days.
What is Mercury Retrograde? Three, and sometimes four, times a year, the planet
Mercury appears to be moving backwards in the sky for a period of approximately 3 weeks. “Appears” is the key word here, because, technically speaking, no planet actually moves backwards in their orbits around the Sun. In fact, they don’t even slow down. Retrograde-station-direct cycles are essentially illusions that result from our point of view from Earth, simply because the Earth is also orbiting the Sun at a different speed than the other planets. Mercury turns retrograde more frequently than any other planet. It can never be more than 28 degrees from the Sun, and whenever it reaches its furthest distance from the Sun, it changes direction.
As the planet of communication, Mercury retrograde tends to breed a certain level of confusion. Mercury rules our “lower” mind—how we perceive and interpret information that we receive from our environment, and how we relay that information to others. Mercury has rulership over such things as speaking, negotiating, buying and selling, listening, formal contracts, documents, travel, the mail and shipping, and so forth. All of these areas of life are affected when Mercury is functioning in a sluggish state. Decision-making is challenged during Mercury retrograde. Needless to say, it is not advised to sign contracts, engage in important decision-making, or launch a new business. Delays and challenges are more probable with Mercury retrograde. This period is best used for re-organizing and reflecting.
During these periods, it’s best to check and double-check your work, emails, and paperwork. Watch what you say, because it may
not come out, or be received, the way you intended. Try to be understanding if you receive remarks that don’t go over well.
Double-check that the person who uttered those words really meant it the way you thought they did! Asking “are you sure you meant to say that?” might help. Get in touch with yourself during this period–it’s an excellent cycle for discovering new ways of looking at life and at yourself. It’s also an ideal cycle in which to discover new ways of communicating your ideas and thoughts.

Venus Retrograde in 2016
What is Venus Retrograde? Occasionally, Venus appears to be moving backwards in the sky. “Appears” is the key word here, because, technically speaking, no planet actually moves backwards in their orbits around the Sun. In fact, they don’t even slow down. Retrograde-station-direct cycles are essentially illusions that result from our point of view from Earth, simply because the Earth is also orbiting the Sun at a different speed than the other planets. Venus is Retrograde approximately 40-43 days every 18 months.
As the planet of love and values, Venus retrograde periods are times when we re-assess what–and who–we value. It is a period that most astrologers consider inopportune for getting married or starting a new relationship. Brand new financial undertakings are not advised during this period as well. There may be delays or confusion in relationships and financial affairs. Read more about Venus Retrograde cycles.
**There are no Venus Retrograde cycles in 2016. (The next retrograde of Venus will occur in March-April 2017 in the signs of Aries and Pisces).
Mars Retrograde in 2016
What is Mars Retrograde? Occasionally, Mars appears to be moving backwards in the sky. “Appears” is the key word here, because, technically speaking, no planet actually moves backwards in their orbits around the Sun. In fact, they don’t even slow down. Retrograde-station-direct cycles are essentially illusions that result from our point of view from Earth, simply because the Earth is also orbiting the Sun at a different speed than the other planets. Mars is Retrograde approximately 58-81 days every 2+ years.
When Mars is in its retrograde cycle, we are forced to re-assess our current projects, our approach to getting what we want, and our desire nature. Rather than directly asserting our desires, we tend towards introspection. While Mars in direct motion is direct, straightforward, assertive, and aggressive, with Mars in retrograde motion, Mars energy is essentially turned inward–it’s internalized, intensified, personalized, and perhaps pressurized. We can be hesitant about taking action, second-guessing our instincts or our natural impulses rather than acting upon them. The way we react to situations under normal conditions doesn’t necessarily work for us now, or we don’t exactly trust it… Read more about Mars Retrograde cycles

Out of Bounds Planets in 2016
A planet is considered out of bounds when its declination is beyond the outer bounds or limits of that of the Sun, i.e. greater than 23 degrees and 27 minutes of declination, either North or South. The energies of these planets tend to be a little out of control during these periods.

New frontiers, hot prospects, expanded operations are not hard
to sell right now — in fact, the soft sell will be the most successful. Whether
you are promoting your affections or your consumer product, act as if it’s the
only way to go in the world and is pretty much of an accomplished fact already.
The more faith you have in yourself, the more others will have in you, and the
more likely things will work out right for you, since everyone is expecting them
to.

This one-year-in-ten period is full of shifts and changes,
struggles and dissatisfactions, confusion of purpose or profit in the world in general. If you
didn’t think ahead and see this coming, you can find yourself rather at the mercy of changing
storms. Although this may not affect you that much, it’s affecting the general populous, so
expect shifting sands on a regular basis. This applies not just to economics, but to disagreements
about the very makeup of moral fiber, right and wrong, which side you are on, and so on.
Don’t go for an easy fix, as a good one probably won’t be available. The wise are waiting, not
wading in.

This period of about a year, which recurs every 18 years, is
often a time of great hope or disillusionment for society at large, when what seemed to be a
harmonious, hopeful, and supportive world turns back into a surprise Darwinian scenario,
or vice-versa. The period of the Kennedy assassination or the end of World War II are
examples, and though not everyone is personally affected, everyone is somehow changed and
life isn’t quite the same afterwards. The conflict of ideal with real, whichever
temporarily triumphs, reminds one that the two worlds are fundamentally at odds and that you must
juggle both in order to be human. The lesson lies not in the fact that we see it, but that we so
quickly forget it.

The coming year of new developments will heavily involve
designing – whether that’s making beautiful designs or simply having designs on things. The future
is about shifting things around until it’s just right, redeploying people and assets to
get the perfect result. It favors those who actively stay in the game, ready to make or become the
finishing touch.

In the enthusiasm for a new cause or idea you can sometimes back
it up with a little too much or ill-placed force and break the very thing that you want to
sustain. Or, you can overestimate the effectiveness and reach of your powers and wind up going “a
bridge too far.” There is a general climate right now for making that judgment error, and
once you have made it, there usually is no going back. You may equally find yourself the
recipient of this kind of pressure, and should you see it happening, don’t fight it and have it go
to its logical hurtful conclusion, but don’t give in, either. Just make yourself scarce until the
situation blows over. In the survival game, the fittest often know to flee.
24 Dec SATURN trine
URANUS 07:16 pm EST Tran-Tran 20 Sagittarius 34′
This yearlong period, which happens twice in every 45 years,
makes for a curious backdrop which everyone has to deal with but which is not necessarily
individually specific. It’s a time when radical and conservative trends, whether in politics or
technology, are at odds, but are strangely comfortable bedfellows, each relying on the one to
fuel the other. It makes for a period of surface tension which belies the fact that not much
new or solid is really happening. Lots of smoke and mirrors, surprisingly little substance. At the
same time, a somewhat insubstantive peace reigns that has in it the seeds of real
confrontation and revolution yet to come.
26 Dec JUPITER opposition
URANUS 01:35 pm EST Tran-Tran 20 Libra 34′
This is a time when large-scale efforts and the best of
intentions can suddenly change, go awry, be shot down, or get reborn. Not just for you, but for
everyone around, so keep that in mind before putting all your eggs in one basket. It’s a time of
discovery, not so much from new revelations but from uncovering what was wrong, popping the
over-inflated balloon, spotting the phony. If it looks too good to be true, it probably
is, and the profit goes to the one who finds it out first. The same can apply to your heart, where
promising more than can be delivered is a distinct possibility, and its revelation can come
as a shock. Use normal precautions and get confirmation before you go whole hog.
