THE CLINTON AFFAIRpart three

How Bill is affected by Retrograde Cycles

: As a rule, retrograde planets presage a period of seemingly inevitable or fated events, which relate to their sphere of influence. They present us with a series of events over which we seem to have little or no control, relating especially to the sign in which the retrogradation occurs. For example, Neptune retrograde in Aquarius presents quite different sets of circumstances from those generated when it retrogrades into Capricorn.
A retrograde period is best seen as a cycle, which begins when the planet begins to slow to a halt before travelling backwards through the zodiac and ends when the planet returns to the point where it first paused. However, during the cycle, the planet's energy is most powerful (and more likely to generate critical events of universal importance) when the planet makes a station, appearing motionless in the sky. These stationary periods occur at the beginning of the cycle (when the planet first halts as it prepares to move backwards) and midway through the cycle when the retrograde planet slows to a stop before moving forward again.
Neptune's retrograde station occurred in May, while its direct station happens in October. Mercury and Jupiter made retrograde stations in July. Mercury and Pluto had direct stations in August, while Saturn had a retrograde station in August.

Bill Leaving Town...
Astrologer Ian Thurnwald continues his examination of Bill Clinton's solar return chart in the light of scandal brought on by current eclipses and retrograde planets.
NOTE: A planet is described as retrograde when it appears to be moving backwards through the zodiac. This traditional concept arises in the illusory planetary motion created by the orbital rotation of the earth, with relation to other planets in our solar system.
Planets are never actually retrograde or stationary, they just seem that way, due to this illusion.
Retrograde periods, although often problematic for us earthlings, are not uncommon.
