This is only in effect for a couple of days as Pluto will be changing direction to move forward on Oct 11th, but it's worth noting.
From our geocentric point of view from Earth, planets can appear to be moving backwards in the sky. This is called a retrograde motion.
Planets in this backward retrograde motion represent a planetary energy that expresses itself in a way that is unique and different from its normal expression. Rebellious activity. Having to re-do or resolve something in order to move forward.
It represents our inner self, turning inward, looking within, our inner structures, inner developments. Disconnecting, withdrawing. A slow down.
Outer Planets
We have "Personal Planets" (Sun & Moon our luminaries, Mercury, Venus and Mars) and "Outer Planets" (from Jupiter on out) that function in our lives. Way way back when with our distant ancestors, the luminaries and these "inner planets" were what humans could actually see and recognize as such with the naked eye, soon Jupiter and Saturn they became aware of, and then with telescopes we discovered planets further out. Outer Planets are of energies that are more perceived as "outside" you or impact your more from others, society, environment, things that are out of our control, or from the subconscious.
With Jupiter as the last of the Outer Planets to be moving in retrograde, putting all of them in this motion, it invites us to go inward to recognize these energies within ourselves. It's a time for preparation. A check in. Taking ownership. A shift and change in how you operate from the inside, how you think, what you believe, what needs to change. Or outside sources or circumstances that are beyond our control force us to do these inner adjustments in a certain way. Like a car with all its parts that work as one, lift up the hood, change the oil, replace the filter. Measure the pressure. Make adjustments. An inner tune-up. A tendency to do things differently than the norm or that which is the norm of society. It supports an individuating process from outside sources and societal norms and beliefs.
Check in with yourself. Tap into your core essence that is uniquely yours, adjust, prepare, take stock of and bring conscious awareness to your inner world and how you use that to be present, to be of use, to play your role with others, in society, in your community.
Have a good Journey!
