during that Agea debt that you brought into this incarnation to
balance.
You might like to investigate the particular Ages in which your Soul
lived. The likelihood that you will feel attunement to that age is strong
because you have soul memories (conscious or subconscious) of having lived
during it.
REMEMBER: It is your Soul that is eternal and that has lived many
different lifetimes. The personality you have this incarnation is temporary
you took it on for this incarnation only. Most of us took on a veil of
forgetfulness of past lives when we entered this incarnation so that we could
focus on the goals of this lifetime.

PLANETS IN YOUR HOUSES
The location of planets in the houses of your Natal Chart indicates
where you will do your major work. Empty houses mean there is no real
problem; the affairs of that house will flow easily. There are two
exceptions to this:
1. The Locomotive Chart Type If you are a Locomotive Type,
you will feel a vacuum pulling at you to be filled in the areas indicated by
your empty houses.
2. Intercepted Signs within an otherwise empty house indicate
that the sign energies without a house cusp (meaning no house through
which to express its energies) will tend to express in accordance with its
negative characteristics.
For example: A 1st house containing no planets, but having
an intercepted sign in it will mean that expressing Who You Are in a positive
fashion will involve frustrations until you have transformed the intercepted
energys negative characteristics into their positive expression.
THE PERSONAL PLANETS IN YOUR HOUSES
SUN The Suns presence will highlight this house. The house affairs are
illuminated so that you will see the need to fulfill your potential in the
areas of life found here.
MOON Here, you have failed to exhibit enough emotional involvement in
previous lives. As a result, you will tend to be overly emotional in reference
to this house affairs. The goal is to balance your emotional approach to
this house.

whole of humanity.

RETROGRADE PLANETS
Much spiritual growth can take place through the overcoming of the
difficulties involved with Retrograde planets.
PERSONAL RETROGRADE PLANETS
ASSIGNMENT: Go over your Natal Chart to determine whether or not you
have planets that are retrograde. We are talking of planets only here; there
are other factors that can express in a retrograde manner as well. List your
retrograde planets. Do you meet the requirements for being a
Retrograde individual? See Schulmans definition above. The planets that
are Retrograde will have the retrograde sign included in the degree/sign
indication. Confused? Refer to the Sample Chart Venus is Retrograde in
the 2nd house.
The SUN and MOON do not go retrograde.
MERCURY RETROGRADE turns the mind inward, giving a tendency to
repeatedly go back over prior events and lessons. The thought process is
based in the subconscious rather than the conscious mind. This means the
learning process is more Right Brain than Left Brain; you absorb the
essence rather than the details. For this reason, you are likely to score lower
on standardized and/or facts-oriented tests than those students not having
MERCURY RETROGRADE.
PARENTS, BE ALERT The child with MERCURY RETROGRADE is likely
to be made to feel and told that he/she is less intelligent than he/she really
is. This childs learning process is different, not less intelligent.
The MERCURY RETROGRADE individual is capable of tapping into the
collective unconscious and of perceiving knowledge from prior times. This
process is unconscious. Because you know more than you can consciously
communicate, frustration may set in. You may become preoccupied with the
form of your ideas, creating barriers to the essence of your knowledge.
Creative outlets that require non-verbal communication, such
as music and painting, are an excellent means of expression for
MERCURY RETROGRADE. Many of our musical geniuses have MERCURY
RETROGRADE. History is also a natural outlet.
MERCURY RETROGRADE KARMA: Relationships with a tendency
to react to others as if they symbolize persons from the past.
VENUS RETROGRADE indicates difficulty in expressing freely your love
and affection for others. You may feel that you lack emotional fulfillment and
tend to interpret lifes events through the lens of how much am I loved or
deprived of love? Emotionally based relationships can be difficult because
you tend to internalize and thereby exaggerate hurts.
create more confusion. Instead, recognize the past life memories as real,
then guide your child in discerning whether or not the events he/she
remembers happened in the present environment.
PARENTS: I know this is hard to understand if you have not
experienced it, so let me give an example from my life. Although my Venus
or Mars are not retrograde, I have memories of having lived in Egypt for
several lifetimes. When I entered my private counseling practice, I barely
managed to hold things together financially. This went on for years. Finally,
one day I was sitting at my computer and I heard myself think, If I had
plenty of money, I would not complete my souls mission for this
incarnation. Shocked, I realized that I had been telling myself that for
years. I asked in meditation to understand this thought pattern and was
shown a lifetime in which I had been very wealthy. Instead of using my
talents in that past life, I used my money to play. It wasin Soul termsa
lifetime in which I did not complete my souls purpose. Completing my souls
purpose and mission for this incarnation has been uppermost in my mind
since a small child. I realized that, heretofore, I had not experienced financial
abundance in this incarnation because that past life memory remained in my
semi-conscious awareness. As a result of separating past life experiences
from those of this incarnation, my needs are abundantly met as I continue to
fulfill my mission for this lifetime.
JUPITER
Rules the Eternal Self, the Planet of Wisdom
Jupiter is a source of enthusiasm, optimism, and the urge to seize the
opportunities offered to you in life.
JUPITER RETROGRADE turns its energy of expansion inward, so that much
inner growth takes place, often through spiritually oriented studies. JUPITER
RETROGRADE tends to procrastinate and to plan, then re-plan, to the point
of failing to get anywhere with the thoroughly planned project. JUPITER
RETROGRADE offers the opportunity for a highly spiritual
incarnation. You must seek your own Truth; for, the mundane and
status quo is likely to leave you feeling discontent. You are a free-spirit and
cannot follow happily in the footsteps of others. Great wisdom and prophetic
ability can be present, especially as you attain spiritual maturity. JUPITER
RETROGRADE can bring many dj-vu experiences; you can feel at home
anywhere on the planet.
PARENTS, your JUPITER RETROGRADE child will likely find little
value or meaning in much that our society regards as cherished traditions.
Your child incarnated to live out the richness in life, both outwardly and
inwardly. Too strict an environment can result in inner restlessness and
discontent that the child may be unable to verbalize or define. Know that
your child needs to explore a variety of places, activities, philosophies, and to
determine for self the lasting significance of each. Enjoy the versatility and
unique insights that your JUPITER RETROGRADE child can offer you.
THE DWELLER ON THE THRESHOLD
The planet of self-discipline, SATURNs goal for you is perfection.
SATURN helps us bear our karma and successfully pass our tests. Until we
willingly accept self-discipline, we experience SATURN as feelings of
limitation, deprivation, delay, and disappointment. SATURNs true
desire is to grant us wisdom and compassion.
SATURN RETROGRADE is your signal that you are re-doing a lifetime.
This incarnation is your 2nd chance; thus, you will feel the burden of dealing
with two lifetimes at once. You can, therefore, experience inner doubts about
your self-worth and your ability to overcome difficulties. The good news is
that your soul knows you have achieved the spiritual maturity required to redo successfully a lifetime. You have in prior lifetimes advanced through great
personal struggles and sacrifices. Now, as you learn to flow with SATURNs
discipline, you will be rewarded with enormous wisdom. SATURN is
comfortable in RETROGRADE motion, and as you flow with it, you develop the
capacity to tap into all of your past life wisdom and talents. SATURN
RETROGRADE is a sign of an old Soul who has advanced far on the
spiritual path. Now, you have incarnated to perfect what you have
learned.
PARENTS: your SATURN RETROGRADE child is likely to possess a
serious nature and to feel overly responsible. You can assist your child by
incorporating regular periods of play into the daily schedule. You might need
to reassure this child that until he/she grows into adulthood, you will be the
parent while he/she enjoys being the child. Self-discipline learned through
play can be effective. Competitive sports may overload the child with the
need to be responsible and do well for his/her team. Individual sports, such
as swimming, track, and tennis may be more helpful. Observe your child and
follow your intuitive guidance. Sculpture, sewing, and woodworking can be
playful ways to satisfy the SATURN need to build structures.
SATURN RETROGRADE KARMA the re-doing of a lifetime, with
the extra weight that entails. SATURN RETROGRADE will be serious about
getting it right this time.
OUTER RETROGRADE PLANETS
URANUS RETROGRADE creates difficulty in being aware of and expressing
your inner individuality. There can be a rediscovery of ideas from previous
lifetimes. URANUS RETROGRADE gives you a compelling sense of
responsibility toward personal growth because you sense that human
confusing, you may tend not to trust your intuitioneven though you are
highly intuitive.
PARENTS your NEPTUNE RETROGRADE child may appear
impractical in comparison to societys status quo. You may be tempted to
stifle your childs dreams or to dismiss them as off the wall. Know that
your child lives in two worlds simultaneously. Simply be supportive and
allow his/her uniqueness to manifest. This child will enjoy serving others,
even at a young age. Artistic and musical activities are satisfying.
PLUTO RETROGRADE turns its transformative energy even more
deeply into the superconsciousness, bringing about an inner
illumination long before you are able to give it expression in the
outer world. PLUTO RETROGRADE indicates a carry-over of psychic
powers from previous lifetimes. These powers are to be used in
constructive ways only. You will feel the struggle humanity is going through
within yourselfhumanitys struggle is your struggle. You are aware of
and feel responsible for lifting your conscious awareness so that the
consciousness of humanity can be thereby lifted.
PLUTO RETROGRADE KARMA A karmic debt is owned to
humanity stemming from the age indicated by the sign in which
PLUTO is located. This debt is to be paid through selfless service to
humanity. Tremendous spiritual growth is possible; you have the
opportunity to rise above the karma of the human race and step off the
wheel of rebirth. PLUTO RETROGRADE joins NEPTUNE RETROGRADE in asking
that you live in the world, while remaining separate from it.
PARENTS you will need to understand the psychic powers
your child may naturally demonstrate and strive not to stifle them.
Instead, help your child use them for constructive purposes while making no
big deal over them. They are natural for your child; treat your child as you
would any other child.
(PRECESSION OF AGES found in Lesson 4 will reveal the time of the Age
indicated by the sign location of your PLUTO RETROGRADE.)
CONTRADICTIONS
As you move deeper into your Natal Chart Interpretation, you will find
that some configurations appear to contradict others.
You are a product of your eternal past. You have developed some
aspects of self more so than others. Since energy is permanent, the ways in
which you have qualified that energy remains with you.
As I stated earlier, it is best to focus on those qualities and talents that
are repeatedly mentioned in your Natal Chart. The lesser mentioned ones
are weaker and need not be focused on, unless you sense intuitively that
they represent karmic residual characteristics or issues that have not been
completely transmuted and transformed into the positive expression.
Focusing on developing your positive characteristics and talents
usually allows the negative ones to fall away.
