What is retrograde
From the point of view of an observer who is with us, on Earth, the planet solar system can move in one or the other direction. The direction of movement forward or backward depends on the location of our planet relative to the observed. When a visible planet makes a revolution around the Sun and begins to move in the opposite direction, this is retrograde.
For Mercury in 2016, this period will occur as much as four times, with a duration of approximately 20 days each. In April 2016, Mercury retrograde will begin on the 28th and end on May 22nd.
Do not hide the fact that astrologers call such periods extremely negative and unfavorable. But what is the reason for such conclusions?
Impact of Mercury retrograde in April 2016
It is worth noting that this time Mercury retrograde will be held under the auspices of the Zodiac Sign Aries. This means that any manifestation of impulsiveness and selfishness can turn against you. On the other hand, the energy of Aries warns us against excessive kindness - you should not spend a lot of time helping someone, although it is not advisable to refuse. The ideal way out is to give the right advice and provide decent moral support.
In astrology, Mercury is responsible for the intellect. Retrograde inhibits intellectual activity, causing absolutely everyone to suffer from this, so be prepared for:
- business problems;
- limit spending and purchases;
- misunderstanding;
- learning problems.
You should not go on trips and make important decisions. Try to postpone it until the end of May. If this is not possible, enlist the support of loved ones. One way or another, but the main rule of retrograde Mercury is to think seven times before making a decision. No intuition, no advice from the depths of the heart and subconscious - only logic and the help of other people. Stay close to those you care about.
Least of all, Mercury Retrograde will interfere with people whose work and hobbies are tied to logical thinking and do not involve any training. These are programmers, economists, financial analysts. Careful need to be teachers, lecturers, creative individuals, as well as servants of the law.
Even if you are under the influence of Mercury, this is not a reason to run away from the ship. Try to find the strength in yourself to move only forward. Mercury retrograde passes relatively quickly, so enlist the support of those you trust and think before you do anything more often.
Retrograde Mercury can bring a lot of troubles and problems, but even with its negative energy you can easily cope, because everyone difficult period only tempers those who do not give in to despondency. April 28 to May 22 we can learn fortitude and faith in luck. Be happy and don't forget to press the buttons and

Retrograde Mars - beware!
The retrograde period of Mars is 2.5 months and happens once every 2 years.
At this time, a person confuses ideas about how and where to apply one's strength, how to use energy. Old conflicts often flare up again, but the side that started the war with Mars retrograde usually loses.
It is also necessary to observe increased personal security: people become very quick-tempered, irritated, nothing goes as smoothly as before. Anger sometimes becomes out of place and leads to new problems.
During a Mars retrograde, many may feel drained of vitality.
During this two-month period, it is better not to start anything. The one who initiates loses.
They say that during the period of retrograde Mars it is impossible to meet your soul mate. Also, former partners may appear: in this case, you should follow the proverb “do not step on the same rake twice.”
Mars is responsible for any wounds, cuts, operations, weapons, accidents and accidents. Retrograde Mars increases the number of accidents. It is not recommended to purchase weapons, protective equipment, cars, any mechanisms. It is extremely unfavorable to do planned operations.
People of "dangerous professions" (Ministry of Emergency Situations, military, police) are advised to go on vacation, not to be heroic at work.
During this cycle, it is better not to buy anything mechanical: various equipment breaks down more often, there are more accidents, car breakdowns (brakes) and computers. Purchases must be guaranteed and insured.
Analysis of actions for errors. Think several times before acting.
Take full responsibility for your life, do not blame others for your problems.
Don't be heroic.
Don't start new business.

Be careful, fast on Tuesdays, eat hot and spicy food.
In 2016 (from 18.04 to 29.06), Mars retrograde will pass through the sign of Libra. This is the weakest position for the planet Mars - in exile in Libra - so our business activity and our strengths (including physical ones) can be significantly weakened.
Any new projects during the influence of retrograde Mars will not be realized: it freezes everything that should develop and move forward. It is highly undesirable to start a project associated with significant energy costs: there are many chances to make mistakes in the alignment of forces.
Jupiter
Jupiter retrograde is a great time to:
Complete the education that was interrupted earlier, resume the study of a foreign language that was started before.
Go on a trip that you put off in the past, go on a trip for spiritual, educational or cultural purposes.
Restore long-lost friendships or past relationships.
Reconsider or clarify your views on life.
Negative influences can also manifest themselves. At this time, the speed of progress in government structures decreases; may bring back an old question or problem. During this time, some people may notice delays or confusion in matters related to Jupiter's spheres of influence: social projects, education, legal issues, etc.
Jupiter retrograde encourages a person to be guided by their internal laws and principles, and not by the rules established by society. It is not recommended to criticize, condemn others and impose your vision of life on them.
Uranus
When Uranus goes retrograde, the chances of the changes produced by its lightning-like energy increase. If you yourself want changes that you have been putting off for some reason, you need to overcome fear, rely on the support of Uranus and act. Or just let the planetary energies do their work.
This is the best time for self-expression, a rich source of new ideas and experiments. Retrograde Uranus awakens the need to destroy existing traditions; enhances a person's desire to be different, to be unique and unique.
This period is ideal for the use of creativity, ingenuity and originality. Qualities recommended for success: originality and lack of stereotypes in any business.
Retrograde Uranus:
Neptune
During this period, the border between reality and illusion becomes barely visible, and any intention can be realized. You can dream and fantasize, not forgetting that for the realization of fantasies, a material and physical basis is still necessary as an impulse for implementation. You can write down dreams and plans in a personal diary. For better implementation, it is recommended to describe dreams as already existing.
However, Neptune, known in astrology as the planet of fantasy and reverie, during reverse movement shows us that not everything is so rosy. This is a good time to combine your fantasies with a realistic outlook on life, reevaluate your ideals and take a closer look at your surroundings.
Pluto
Pluto retrograde is a period of clearing. Finding the truth within yourself can be relentless.
The retro planet deprives you of support in life and tests your ability to be true to your destiny.
Reactionary Pluto disorientates through loss or emptiness in the soul. The best time for a leisurely analysis of your life, freeing yourself from the unnecessary.
Possibly during the period retrograde Pluto you will feel the urge to display a tougher-than-usual style of behavior.
Retrograde Pluto:
Saturn
Saturn is retrograde for about 4.5 months.
This is a time of delay and inhibition in the development of events, a time of delay and disruption of plans. External circumstances offer a lot of work. Often there is a need to spend extra time on ordinary activities. The lack of time and the impossibility of completing things on time cause chagrin.
It is recommended during this period to relax and just wait for progress: a persistent desire to solve problems will increase their number. Such an internal state will allow you to remain calm and properly distribute your time.
Self-discipline and systematic thinking will help to successfully solve emerging problems. It is advisable to use the time of Saturn retrograde to consolidate and comprehend the results of long-standing work.
In astrology, Saturn is known as the "planet of karma". He, like a strict overseer, makes us patiently and humbly bear our burden, according to his charter. Direct Saturn imposes rules on us that we must follow. However, during Saturn retrograde, we are forced to look for support within ourselves, to develop our own rules on our own. We can get much more valuable experience at this time. But, unfortunately, often this experience comes as a result of one's own mistakes. Such is the nature of Saturn.
Retrograde Saturn:
Retrograde, or retrograde. Indicated by the icon "R". The word "retrograde" means something is moving backwards. The planet is not moving backwards, but the fact is that when viewed from the Earth, it seems that the planet is slowing down its movement and is about to back away. It's like two trains moving in parallel. If one goes at a higher speed, then it seems that the second one is going backwards.
Different phases of the planet's movement in astrology are usually denoted by letters: D - for direct (direct) movement, R - for retrograde, SD - when the planet starts direct movement after stopping and SR - when the planet starts backward (retrograde) movement after stopping. All planets are retrograde, except for the Sun and Moon.
If the planet is retrograde, that is, it moves in an unusual way, then its effect will be less obvious, more hidden and introverted. In some cases, this becomes a real blessing, and sometimes it can slow down the process of maturation of the event. The calendar was compiled for the city of Moscow.
General forecast
Periods of Venus retrograde do not cause such obvious troubles as the retrograde periods of Mercury. Love and romance, social relationships and behavior, business relationships and politics may become less successful and acquire their uncharacteristic rudeness and aggressiveness. The positive moments of these periods include situations that require a more prudent approach in order to restore or create an optimal balance. Retrograde periods of Venus are unfavorable for cosmetic surgery and finishing work, although at this time such issues can be studied, reviewed and discussed.
Venus retrograde occurs approximately every 18 months for 40 days.
Birthday
The Venus retrograde phase lasts about 42 days and occurs for an estimated eight months every year. It is noteworthy that this period has a significant impact on the personal and love spheres of life, namely, it affects love impulses, attractiveness, emotional reactions, personal values and perceptions, as well as relationships with a partner. This phase can also be associated with the psychological attitude to the current financial condition and personal property. At this time, it is not recommended to get married, start divorce proceedings, as well as enter into partnerships related to business and take serious actions regarding a career and new projects. Since Venus is also a money-ruled planet, this may not be the best time to invest your money in large purchases and financial investments. On the other hand, this is a favorable period: to review all existing relationships and connections and to define them true value, before drawing conclusions that affect the final decision and take on all obligations. It is at this time that you can successfully balance all your future financial affairs and expenses.
Retrograde planets in 2016☿ Mercury ♀ Venus ♂ Mars ♃ Jupiter> > > Mercury
The first planet from the Sun governs intellectual abilities and sociability. Therefore, it is directly related to business and commercial activities. When Mercury goes retrograde, people experience communication problems. There are certain difficulties in oratory and writing letters. But at the same time, people have extraordinary thinking that can overturn traditional foundations. This can be counted as a positive consequence.
When Mercury begins to move back, a person begins to pay great attention to gaining knowledge, this becomes his main goal. Excessive interest in new information contributes to intellectual fatigue and pride in the achievements made in front of other people. However, there is also positive side retrograde, which consists in increasing the speed of decision-making and the manifestation of intuition. This allows you to achieve benefits in everyday life.
