Astrohack Your Life with Katie Sanger

Rise, Shine, and Redefine

Retrogrades, such as Mercury retrograde, are astrological periods associated with revisiting, relaxing, resetting, revising, and restructuring. These times offer opportunities to slow down and reflect on various aspects of life. In a podcast episode, guest Katie Sanger emphasized the importance of using retrogrades to revisit elements in our lives. She noted that during retrogrades, energy can feel elusive, prompting intentional actions. The "re" prefix in retrograde words like revisit, relax, reset, revise, and restructure align with the themes of retrogrades.

Caryn and Katie discussed how retrogrades, particularly Mercury retrograde, occur three times a year and are linked to challenges in communication, travel, and contracts. However, they highlighted that retrogrades should be viewed as opportunities for growth and introspection rather than feared. Caryn shared personal experiences during retrogrades, such as renegotiating agreements and entering into new commitments, stressing the importance of intentionality and mindfulness during these periods.

Katie also mentioned that retrogrades provide a time to slow down, revisit decisions, and approach matters with clarity and intention. She recounted a legal negotiation experience during a Mercury retrograde, where surrendering to the retrograde energy and practicing patience led to effective navigation of the situation and a positive outcome. This example illustrates how retrogrades can serve as tools for self-reflection and informed decision-making.

Overall, retrogrades, including Mercury retrograde, are viewed as periods for introspection, reassessment, and realignment. By embracing retrograde energy and utilizing it as an opportunity for growth and self-awareness, individuals can navigate challenges and transitions with greater clarity and intention.

In the podcast episode, Katie and Caryn discussed the importance of integrating and balancing various astrological energies, such as Libra, Gemini, and Scorpio, for self-awareness and personal growth. Here are key points from the episode highlighting how understanding and harmonizing these energies can lead to personal development.
