ALL the Retrogrades. At Once.

If you thought you couldn’t feel more energetic intensity in a week…this week is here to show you!

Three days in a row this week, we have been experiencing the retrograde of three planets, one after the other.

Even if you don’t know if you believe in that stuff, I’d like to hear from you if you somehow don’t experience noticeable fatigue, or emerging issues in relationships, boundaries and money/abundance this week.

We’re all feeling it. Even with all the spiritual and emotional work I do on a daily basis, I’m still feeling the fatigue myself!

How you might experience it

Typically, fatigue during a retrograde phase indicates where you’ve been doing focused work on a particular area related to that energy, and now the exertion from the effort is magnified, but you’re not quite yet at the outcome.

Kind of like if you’ve been hiking or cycling up a steep incline, and you’re feeling the climb but you’re not at the top yet.

The other common experience is to have issues arise in the area of each energy. For example, for the Venus retrograde, means you might suddenly have issues in a relationship.

The retrogrades are the time when things feel a bit more bumpy in the areas that most need our attention.

To support you through this period, I’ve created the following empowering Tarot spread that doubles as journaling prompts.

How to use these

If you don’t have cards

If you don’t have cards, you can still totally participate. All you need is a journal (or journaling app) and something to write with. Optional and totally lovely is a mug of your favourite tea or coffee!

If you do have cards

If you have cards (Tarot or other kinds of affirmation/oracle decks), you can use them! I do also suggest still journaling your spread though, because you’ll get way more out of it.

In either case

If you’re not sure how to journal or if it feels daunting, check out this how-to I’ve written that will help.

The questions/spread

Below the image are the questions, written out in case that’s easier for you.

May 2020 Venus Saturn Jupiter Retrograde Tarot Spread and Journaling Prompts by Malumir R. Logan of Acorn + Burdock

The questions:

  • Venus: How the stories I have been telling myself about love are showing up in my life.
  • Saturn: Where I need to practice better boundaries in my decisions.
  • Jupiter: How I’m learning to adopt new attitudes of the abundance that is possible for me.

Enjoy this, and please remember to tag me if you use this, and share with a friend who might enjoy it also!
