#105 The Truth About Planetary Retrogrades with Whitney Will

Whitney Will is a psychological astrologer and writer. She has a B.A. in the History of Math and completed her M.A. in Counseling Psychology with a focus on Jungian and Archetypal Studies at Pacifica. Whitney returns to the podcast, this time to chat with me about planetary retrogrades. We discuss what's really happening in the sky when a planet "goes retrograde", dispel false narratives about what retrogrades mean and delve into the archetype and mythology behind Mercury, Mars and Venus. We also expand on what it means to be born during a planetary retrograde and to have a retrograde planet in your natal chart. Lastly, we discuss our upcoming course "Retrograde with Intention" where we will be helping participants track the upcoming Venus retrograde in Capricorn through their charts and creating community and ritual around the transit, honoring Venus the best way we know how.  Find Whitney at at StarHearthAstrology.com, Youtube and Instagram.
