Retrograde
Motion
Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn will
be retrograde at
times during 2012.
Mercury Rx
will delight us, as
usual, with
interrupted
communication,
malfunction or
complete failure of
computers and other
electronic devices
and general
uncertainty and
confusion concerning
any contracts, legal
documents or
agreements.
Mercury
will be
retrograde� �
- 12 March until 4 April
- 15 July until 8 August
- 6 November until 26 November
Venus Rx
in Gemini will
remind us of
personal
characteristics,
which have been
dormant in us for
the last eight years
and are in need of
revision.
Venus will be retrograde
Mars Rx in
Virgo will highlight
problems concerning
the repression or
lack of energy. Much
of the available
potential will be
directed towards the
fulfilment of
intellectual tasks.
Mars will be retrograde
- � 24 January until 14 April
Jupiter Rx
in Gemini will
remind us of his
prudent side; with
Jupiter�� s help we
are able to fulfil
our potential but in
his Rx phase, he
demands that we obey
the rules, follow
our moral guidelines
and show kindness
and compassion.
Jupiter will be retrograde
- 4 October until 30 January 2013
Saturn Rx
in Libra may be a
challenging time for
the accomplishment
in all areas of
creative
development. Many
barriers will have
to be overcome and
progress will be
slow.
Saturn will be retrograde

Out
of Bounds
When Planets exceed the 23 �27' area of the
Sun's max
declination, north
or south, they are
called "Out of
Bounds."
During these times, the OOB Planets will be
out of the Sun�� s
control; therefore a
heightened activity
of all themes
corresponding with
the appropriate
Planets can be
expected.
Mercury will be OOB
- 7 January until 21 January
- 30 May until 19 June
- 31 October until 6 November
- 26 December until 14 January 2013
Venus will be OOB
Mars will be OOB
- 26 October until 10 December

Sign Ingress
Jupiter will move into Gemini on 11 June,
delivering a boost
to all intellectual
endeavours, like
writing, publishing,
etc.
Saturn will move into Scorpio on 5 October,
leaving his exalted
placement in Libra.
--
Noteworthy Aspects
Mars will be perfecting an opposition to
Jupiter Rx on 28
October. With
Jupiter in his
detriment in Gemini,
some protest against
rules and
regulations,
rebellions against
superiors and other
demonstrations can
be expected.
