RETROGRADE MADNESS

by Mary-Anne Alvaro

When the planets go retrograde, they appear to be moving backwards in the heavens from earth - and this can wreak havoc for some.

To help you be prepared, here are the retogrades for the next year.

     The Sun does not do it
And neither does the Moon
But all the others turn around
And go backwards far too soon
    Note These Dates for the Next Retrogrades       
      
       When Mercury does retrograde
We should probably all stop talking
Likely best to go outside
And just to keep on walking
    January 28 - February 18, 2008 
May 26 - June 19
September 24 - October 15
      
      
       When Venus turns around on us
Ex friends and old lovers
Can fly into our thoughts again
Are we sure it’s really over?
    Mar 6, 2009 - Apr 17, 2009


      
      
       Mars switching directions
Can burn us just like that
We may want to race forward
But have to keep on turning back
    Nov 15, 2007 until Jan 30, 2008!

      
      
       Jupiter, oh Jupiter
When you do your flip around
Expansion is a no no
We must work within our bounds
    May 9 - September 7, 2008
      
      
       Saturn feels backwards
Almost all the time
In truth, he only turns around
When he’s picking up lost time
    December 19, 2007 - May 2, 2008,  
December 31, 2008 - May 16, 2009

      
      
       For Uranus, Neptune and Pluto
They reverse for half a year
Awakening, mystifying and intensifying
Not again - there’s that old fear
   

PLUTO - April 2 - September 8, 2008

NEP - May 26 - November 1, 2008

      
       So all the planet’s energies
Revisit where they’ve been
They have to them a specific point
To go over everything
    UR-  June 27 - November 26, 2008

      
      
       There’s a time in life to look behind
And a time to move ahead
And if you are confused at all
Just retrograde back to bed.
    To get ahead, we need to go back once in awhile...       
      
       The madness, it does end you know
And all things do resume
But just when you think you’re straight again
Another one lowers the boom.


    Do the 're' stuff and the retrogrades can be easy!       
      
       We can survive our retrogrades
We do it all the time
Let’s look again at what we’ve done
And do it right this time.
    To get ahead, we need to go with the flow...
