Retrograde placements in astrology can show areas of life where we have more intense energy than non-retrograde placements but find discomfort/struggle to express this energy at the same time. Retrograde energy is energy thatโs dialed up but that you also repress
Whether these placements are positive or challenging all depends on your chart not just which placement is retrograde. The sign, aspects to the placement, house itโs in, and degree are all very important to look at

Mercury rx
ใ Indicates someone whoโs very sharp and intelligent but has a hard time expressing how smart they are. These people often will be misunderstood and may come off as unintelligent when really they just donโt express their intelligence in the right way for people to know they are
ใ Struggles to express your ideas, thoughts, and just communicate with others in general
ใ Gossiping can be something that holds you back in life. Donโt ever gossip
ใ Mercury rules over our speaking/communication/mind so sometimes people with this placement may have some sort of problem in these areas (ex: speech impediment, anxiety, depression, autism, adhd, etc) - I have this placement and struggle with anxiety & adhd
Venus rx
ใ You are good at understanding how relationships work and the meaning of love but bad at expressing your love to others. These are the type of people who give amazing relationship advice to their friends yet still seem to struggle with their own love life
ใ In general you may struggle in being affectionate to others or being vulnerable even with people that you love
ใ Lots of insecurities about being attractive enough for people
ใ Insecurities about being accepted. People with this placement tend to be people pleasers
Mars rx
ใ These people struggle to express their anger which can lead to lots of confusion in conflict with people. People likely will not understand what youโre upset about ever or understand why you feel angry about certain things
ใ People with this placement struggle to take action often and initiate things. They may lack ambition as well
ใ People with this placement may struggle with confidence or have a lot of confidence but still will come off as insecure to others
ใ These people often fear confronting people/putting their foot down in conflict. They try and steer away from any type of controversy
Jupiter rx
ใ This is one of the best retrograde planets to have although itโs stereotyped as the worst. Simply because Jupiter shows external experiences that we enjoy (this could be a huge house, wealth, a fancy car, etc) but with this planet in retrograde it causes you to seek internal things instead because external things donโt bring you as much fulfillment which is why often people with Jupiter rx are very spiritual and arenโt materialistic
ใ Youโre very observant and wise but struggle to show off your wisdom to others leading them to underestimate you and your intelligence
ใ A downside to this placement is you wonโt have an abundance of luck in this life. You wonโt always be in the right place at the right time or any of that. Youโll have to work a bit harder for success or wealth
Saturn rx
ใ You may have a lot of fears in general which can prevent you from coming out of your comfort zone. Often these people isolate themselves in times where their life is challenging which only makes things worse
ใ You may struggle with your work ethic. You may be someone that needs a lot more than just motivation to work hard. You need lots of self discipline which you also may struggle with
ใ At times you may be irresponsible
ใ You may have a distant or absent father figure
Uranus rx
ใ These people may be very unique but struggle to accept the unique parts of them out of fear of others not liking them
ใ These people may struggle with love due to how independent they are
ใ These people are extremely rebellious but are typically very good at hiding it
ใ These people struggle with sudden change which can make it very hard for them to adapt to new environments and challenges that come their way
Neptune rx
ใ These people may struggle to express themselves creatively (especially through art) but have a lot of creative ideas at the same time
ใ These people often struggle with dreaming big and never believe in themselves. They have a lot of self doubt and believe everything is unattainable which is why they also may struggle to manifest things
ใ These people may struggle to trust the universe
ใ Many people with this placement struggle with drug addiction because Neptune represents escapism and illusions. They will use the quickest escape they can find to get rid of their pain
Pluto rx
ใ These people struggle to move on (this can be in any area of life but especially with love/romantic relationships because they love very intensely and have a hard time letting go of people theyโve formed intimate connections with)
ใ You likely have a very strong fear of being controlled or manipulated which can cause you to be exactly what youโre afraid of
ใ Many people with this placement struggle with addiction since pluto represents obsessions. They may have a very addictive personality and have many challenges in their life because of this
ใ You may have a harder time than others (people without this placement) with major transformations in life or dealing with death
[READ] keep in mind venus and mars are the only rare retrogrades. Only about 7% of the population has venus rx and mars goes retrograde about every 2 years

no matter what kind of art you make, whether it be music, paintings, photography, drawings, ceramics, writings, etc. you are an artist.
no matter how often you make art, you are an artist.
no matter your skill level, you are an artist.
no matter how long you've been making art, you are an artist.
no matter how old you are, you are an artist.
no matter how long it takes you to complete an artwork, you are an artist.
art is about expression. it isn't a race, competition, or anything like that.
create art that you want to create, as long as it does not harm others.
try not to compare your art to others'. try to instead compare it to your own previous artworks.
congratulate yourself on your progress.
it is okay to take breaks from making art. your health and needs come first.

Tough Placements that Indicate a Hard life | 2
Disclaimer: Having these placements does not automatically make your life hard, these are common placement patterns dedicated to each SPECIFIC area of life. I only listed a few to avoid fear mongering but there are more in PART 1 and more posts in my MASTERLIST
Family Life & Emotions
Enemies
Financially
Identity/Sense of self
Financially:
Pluto/Lilith in the 2nd House: The planet of death, destruction, power struggles, and transformation in the 2nd house of money, self-worth, values, foundations, and generational wealth is honestly rough af. A lot of the time the nativeโs family will blackmail them with money and withhold resources as a form of control to manipulate the individual. Your favourite items were probably thrown away or restricted from use and people in your own family may have tried to steal from you. As a result, your confidence has probably been shattered and youโve worked hard or are currently working towards a secure and stable income source. This placement often goes through multiple toxic jobs until they find the one they feel safest in without worrying about being fired unfairly. People in the workspace are often jealous of your assets but they donโt know how hard you worked to achieve them. Never touch a Pluto in the 2nd house personal items, they will lose it lmao it means everything to them. I also see parents being excessively frugal with this placement and the family may have gone through cycles of extreme poverty.
2nd/8th House Stellium: The 2nd house rules over what you materially and monetarily gain and the 8th house is what people take from you as it rules over debts and loans as well as shared resources. Thatโs why the 8th house is the house of death and loss, but also regeneration which can be translated into money here. These people can either be severely poor and in debt for most of their life or gain mass power that could even be from hidden organizations (more so with the 8th house). Major lessons need to be learned through any stellium in the 2nd/8th house and their money as it plays a big theme in their life so, these people will often go through severe stages of loss and gains in wealth.
Saturn in the 2nd House: Saturnโฆoh dear, the planet of restrictions, delays, and karmic life lessons will no doubt restrict someoneโs income and financial opportunities. This is the placement I find working harder than the rest yet still reaping no benefits until they work extremely hard continuously for a long period of time and make sacrifices. They usually need to learn how to manage their money better and are provided with no opportunities to gain, they simply have to push through and work for it. However, they usually end up in a long-term job successfully and reap high-paying benefits if they push through it all successfully and learn how to manage money. If they donโt, they usually suffer from a career downfall and lose a lot of material gains that are valuable to them. They have to be careful with how they manage their wealth and canโt blow their money excessively.ย
Chiron in the 10th House: The wounded healer is actually classified as a comet or minor planet (wikipedia lol) but is grouped in with many asteroids. Therefore, I have found significance with Chiron placements and patterns of financial troubles in the 10th house. You are able to boost other coworkersโ positions and help them receive recognition through your own work, but this also hurts your ego as you are usually behind the scenes doing most of the work yet receiving few to no benefits. I can definitely see this placement getting their work copied or stolen often as it heals others but wounds themselves. This placement is also prone to bullying in the workspace whether itโs your bullying or being bullied. Usually, youโre part of a power dynamic where you are the person left behind while the others get public fame and could even use it against you. I do see this placement potentially being the victim of white-collar crime as authorities could perhaps view you as a threat and want you out of a job.ย
Neptune in the 8th House: A foggy world of debt youโve lost track of. Loans and investments are very risky here, and the native could be cheated out of an inheritance or income without their knowledge. A lot of the time they struggle with money and lose it more than it comes in due to Neptuneโs foggy nature that just absorbs and absorbs while never putting out anything into reality. Money is not Neptunes bestie especially when placed in the house of debt, death, shared resources, and the occult. They also are prone to spiritual attacks and evil spirits clinging to them. Yaโll need hella protection fr.
Uranus in the 2nd House: Your personal and material foundations will probably go through a drastic a disastrous change. Uranus is like the tower card in astrology to me because your foundation crumbles unexpectedly to the point where youโre left with nothing and have to build a new path because your foundation was no longer serving you. Thatโs exactly how I view this placement. Uranus will completely turn your values and possessions upside down but itโs so you can let go and make progressive changes in your life. Itโs justโฆa really awful and extreme process.
Venus square Saturn: What you want vs what you need cannot be achieved at the same time here and you are forced to limit what you want in life and push it away so you can attain what you NEED in life. Your sense of love, relationships, and confidence in appearance is shattered at first and insecurities make you feel like being in love or achieving what you want in life is impossible. But, in the end after achieving what you first need, youโre able to get what you want. When it comes to money the same concept applies and youโre very limited in material gain. Itโs definitely a frustrating process as you feel like youโre late to everything in life such as success and relationship experience.
Ruler of the 11th house in the 8th house: The 11th house rules over friendship, communities, and technology. But, also our wishes and benefits/rewards after our hard work. Therefore, when placed in the house of debt, hidden power struggles, and occult could translate into your benefits stolen from you by your friends or a hidden organization of people. This is a very specific observation but I found it interesting, let me know if anyone has this and what itโs like.
Your Identity:
Pisces moon: Imma be so honest right now, these people although the sweetest humans on earth also are trained to live their life sacrificing for others and constantly saving and helping peopleโฆto the point of their detriment like itโs insane. They also are very impressionable through Neptuneโs influence of easily absorbing othersโ opinions and influence which fogs up their own sense of identity and self-awareness. If you told a Pisces moon an observation about themselves they always believe it or spend time thinking about it because they start to question themselves and the reality of situations. Words really stick to them and they take a lot to heart. They, also unconsciously pick up other peopleโs personalities, styles, and mannerisms due to Neptuneโs projective nature. it takes a while for them to build their own solid identity tbh.
Scorpio rising/Pluto in 1st: They receive a lot of criticism and backlash for doing what everyone else does. The only difference is people seek to EXPOSE Scorpio risings for normal and seemingly harmless things. Scorpio risings do tend to be a usual target to the public and the same goes for Pluto because they are both associated with power struggles between the individual and the public perception of them. This is also why they tend to stay low profile and quiet because pluto/scorpioโs influence hides them a bit amongst public interaction. But once they say something or make a move itโs like..BOOM suddenly theyโve captured everyoneโs attention due to that power and exposure theme present. Thereโs also this magnetism to them that makes people feel very polar in terms of love or hate, as these individuals just canโt be read while simultaneously pulling people in (me, I am the one pulled in).ย ย
Chiron in the 1st: This is going to be sad, I believe Chiron in the angular houses (mainly 1, 7 & 10) is an indicator of being bullied in your life. Iโve had many friends with this placement and they have all been bullied. They never feel satisfied with themselves and go through periods of self-destruction. Itโs actually very similar to sun-pluto that way. Their identity feels like itโs ruled by othersโ opinions and they become scared to express themselves out of fear of severe judgment so they often tone down their personality a bit and put on a mask. Iโve also seen a similar theme with Chiron in the 3rd house but to a lesser degree and more focus on speaking and standing up for themselves.
Saturn in the 5th House: This completely restricts your ability to feel happiness from creative pursuits, you almost feel guilty participating in any creative hobby or project that puts you into the spotlight. Saturn limits your sense of personal happiness and ability to casually be intimate or connect with other people. The heart chakra is very plugged up here and it leaves depressing energy tbh. Itโs hard for you to play and have fun without feeling self-conscious that someone will judge you for it. But, itโs also hard for you to feel motivated or courageous enough to go after your true passions and hobbies. I had this transit last year..and honestly worst Saturn transit Iโve experienced thus far. it just dims your sparkle so much and hurts bad.
Stellium in the 7th/12th House: For the 7th house stellium, a lot of your focus in life will be placed on helping others and worrying about their judgements. Youโve spent so much time trying to please people and get along with people to the point where you have forgotten about your own needs because you prioritize othersโ perceptions of you over your own identity. In the 12th house, your identity stays hidden most of the time, youโre comparing yourself to others wondering how you can stand out or become more ambitious in life but you also feel at peace alone away from the chaos. however, I think too much time spent in your head alone actually can delude you a bit and not fully understand who you are.
Uranus opposite Ascendant: They feel like they are never good enough or accepted as themselves so they always want to change identities or aesthetics to something they know people hype up or what makes them feel appreciated. they arenโt afraid to show their weird and fun side, but they are criticized and looked down upon for it especially.
Moon in the 7th House: Idk I always see these people trying to change others and spending time around toxic people to the point where they are confused about their own goals in life because theyโre also very sacrificing. they do need close relationships to function and this can turn into codependency even in friendships. It gets to a point where even if itโs toxic they are likely to stay because they feel like themselves and complete when they are with someone. Like fr I ALWAYS see them with the shittiest people helpp
Fire moons: The element of ego and destruction placed in the moonโs turbulent and emotional nature? yikes. They are kinda explosive and donโt know what to make of themselves. A lot of their life is consumed by trying to take action and start movements in the outside world but what happens in their internal world? exactly they donโt know lol. For a lot of their life, they try to self-reflect and understand themselves to better control their fiery and explosive emotions and express themselves better. The moon typically doesnโt perform well in the fire element as the nature of these two are opposite and combative. They act impulsively and sometimes selfishly or end up sacrificing too much on the flip side. There is no balance with fire moons and this makes it hard for them to express their emotions properly or even understand their own identity as most of it stems from the outside world and lacks internally. They are very self-conscious as a result of a focus on external needs (cough validation from others cough).
South Node in the 7th & 12th House: Your goal in life is literally to focus on your Identity, goals, and perception of the world. But guess what your natural skills are? Youโre a great diplomatic negotiator who knows what people want to hear. So, you end up always catering to what you think someone wants instead of what you actually want. Youโve gotten so used to this pattern that it becomes an unbreakable and instinctual habit out of fear of conflict and standing up for yourself. Not everyone is right plz stop thinking others opinions matter over yours boo
Neptune in the 1st House: I think this placement, in particular, might be the most common among those who struggle with their identity. Itโs because Neptune the planet of the unknown realm, mysticism, illusions, dreams, confusion, and the sea is in your house of subjective identity, how you view the world, and your physical characteristics. Now yaโll are beautiful, drop-dead gorgeous okay? but omylord do you receive so much shit from the public. People falsely accuse you for everything even if youโre innocent and have no part in anything. They also love to spread rumours and makeup illusions of you in other peopleโs minds. Youโre talked about a lot in circles, just like an enigma. And people assume random things about you and project them onto your identity.ย The worst part is, that you and everyone else believe everything others say. Itโs like your identity is controversial itself??? Itโs interesting that people canโt properly see below the surface level and into the deep sea that is your real personality. So, they end up making myths about you.
Neptune in the 3rd House: I feel like no one actually tries to listen to you as much as you listen to them. Miscommunications seem to be a common problem for you, and as a result, itโs just hard for you to express yourself and your opinions. I usually see this placement as shy because theyโre tired of always being misunderstood. The cool part about this is that they can figure out very complex abstract problems because they have a more creatively intelligent mindset than other 3rd house placements. However, you probably did go through bullying during early elementary school or were made fun of for your intelligence because no one tried to understand you. I think yaโll are so damn smart tbh.
1st House ruler in the 12th House: When the chart ruler is in the 12th house your identity is hidden from the public completely. Like, you find people talking over you all the time ugh. You also never get the recognition you deserve and people tend to ignore your presence. The quiet kid in the back of the class who randomly disappeared from school one day only for you to find him becoming a rich foreign investor probably has this placement LMAOO. Iโm not even kidding though because the 12th house has to do with disappearances and foreign land overseas. So just saying..you could make MONEY. However when it has to do with your identity you just never felt heard or seen. You feel constantly overlooked and unappreciated. Youโve probably gotten ghosted a lot too (12th house rules over spirits). But I love you okay and that wonโt change, I hope you felt seen here.
