Crystal Jewelry for Planetary Retrogrades

Hey rock stars! I was inspired by James Tyberonn’s latest email on crystal suggestions for the retrogrades and created this quick graphic below to share with you! Intuitively, I’ve been wearing these particular crystals that he recommended for a few weeks now after doing a crystal reading for myself. So it’s great to see divine confirmation from others!

If you’re short on time, read what you need and bust out your crystal jewelry! If you want to learn the details of what each retrograde is about, read on below.

Here are the following planetary and astral body retrogrades for 2016 and James Tyberonn’s crystal suggestions for getting through these energies:

Uranus Retrograde:

Uranus is retrograde July 29 – December 29, 2016. Uranus is the planet of liberation, sudden change and disruption of pattern. During this phase in 2016, one may particularly feel like a stranger to ones’ “normal” self. You may at times feel isolated, a bit separated and lost from all that you’ve known and separated from your standard identity. You may in this amalgam of Neptune and Saturn retrograde lose your sense of well-being and feel vulnerable. You may question your virtue.

Your sense of financial and job insecurity can get skewed, but this particular insecurity will be felt primarily during the time of the partner retro of Saturn, and Saturn ends its retrograde in mid-August. When Uranus flows retrograde, it will reawaken freedom urges, causing the individual to suddenly rebel against any ruts or confinement in life. I feel that it is better to process what needs to change while Uranus is retrograde and actualize the change when it turns direct. The retrograde simply makes you aware, but it is generally not wise to impulsively act.

Saturn Retrograde:

The 2016 Saturn retro occurs from March 16 – August 13, 2016. Saturn rules life purpose. Karma, structure, order and the way in which we conduct our affairs are all ruled by the ringed planet. During the 10 weeks of Saturn’s 2016 retrograde flow, expect the unexpected. Unsettling surprises, frustrations and slow-downs may occur on a weekly basis.

Effective time management even for the most organized people may seem impossible. Projects that seemed in line may get sidetracked by the pop-up of unforeseen tasks and unresolved issues of the past. In this phase you may fall into self-doubt and feel you are off track. But this time can be wisely used to evaluate what is serving your highest life purpose, and what is not, by revealing your inner thoughts, defensive reactions, psychological structures and limiting parameters.

Neptune Retrograde:

Neptune goes retro on June 13, 2016 and stays in back-flow until the 19th of November 2016. Neptune rules the dream world, imagination, fantasy, and is influential in psychic realms. The planet of dreams, Neptune is considered an influence of ‘illusion’. So when Neptune moves in retro, dreams, intuition and psychic input can actually be very clear, devoid of illusion and be quite lucid. You may be able to pick up the concealed actions and motives of others as well as gain extremely rare insights.

The hidden can be suddenly revealed in Neptune retro. The cautionary side to Neptune retro is that the imagination works overtime and impressions, ideas and images roll in at high speed, non-stop, thru the ‘secondary mind level’. The overload can lead to insomnia and mental exhaustion if not well filtered. So do not assume that every impression received is the absolute truth or a certainty of reality. What one gleans will also be affected in this timing by the situ of the other planets. With Uranus, Pluto and Saturn in retro, perceptions may be muddled by their retro influence.

Recommended Crystal Jewelry for Neptune Retro – Lapis Lazuli & Azurite (Only wear azurite during meditation. Do not wear azurite 24/7. Wear your lapis lazuli pendant constantly.)

Pluto Retrograde:

Pluto retrograde lasts from April 18 – September 26, 2016. The transitory retrogrades of the outer three planets are often far less intensely felt than the retros of the inner planets, Mercury thru Jupiter. But in this phase of 2016 with six planets in retro, Pluto will be felt far more in this combined energy amalgam. This year’s Pluto retrograde will absolutely tug at you, in a more overt and rather unforgiving crucible, in deep exploration of your inner truth.

You may have episodes of low self-esteem in Pluto retrograde, a tendency to concentrate on guilt and mistakes you have made in the past. This can be excruciating, but can be optimally managed by purging what does not serve you. Pluto often triggers an emotional shift, and in retrograde, this can tend to provide inaccurate focus on mistakes of the past. One should keep this in consideration and avoid falling into a phase of unjustified guilt and self-persecution. However, this is none-the-less an important time for prioritizing and reconsidering life purpose and realigning appropriately to your divine self.

Chiron Retrograde:

Chiron, like Juno, is a planet-esque asteroid, but of significant gravity consideration. Chiron is retrograde for about five months from June 27 – December 19, 2016. In Chiron retrogrades, deceptions and hurts come to light. It is a time in which consideration of misactions are faced and dealt with, whether these are misdeed or wrong actions you have committed, or injustices dealt to you from others.

In this time, pain surfaces and becomes a great teacher. Courage is required to face the problem and to come to terms with it. If a relationship has ended, Chiron retrograde is the time to understand, release and move forward. This is a time for you to review your own failings, pay the piper and take corrective action. But avoid spiraling into depression. Be careful not to focally brood in sorrow, guilt or anger in this timing. Rather review actions, face them and move forward all the wiser. Review and release!

Recommended Crystal Jewelry for Chiron Retro: Ruby, Garnet, Pink Tourmaline & Rose Quartz.

Pallas Retrograde:

Pallas (Athena) was the second asteroid discovered and became astronomically and astrologically recognized less than 150 years ago. Named after Jupiter’s daughter, Pallas Athena is intelligent, intellectual, creative, innovative, cunning, politically savvy, diplomatic, strategic and cerebral. Pallas Athena also governs the relationship between father and daughter, as well as patriarchal authority figures and their feminine underlings. Better stated, the Pallas governs relationship between power-strength and caring-nurturing. In retrograde, Pallas can create undesirable effects for all of the above.

In 2016, Pallas is retrograde from the June Solstice thru mid-October. This retro in amalgamated frequency with the combined retros of Uranus, Pluto and Chiron will add to the ‘rebellious’ ongoing aspect. People may find themselves out of sorts with authority figures, as well as be in a phase of unclear thinking and be overly blunt. One’s normal tact and diplomacy can be off-track, and a tendency to fight rather than think may occur.

Brief bullet points of Do’s and Don’ts in this period:

Don’t:

Fall into anxiety, engage conflicts, fall into apathy, feel disempowered, overreact, over criticize, focus on guilt, fear or anger.

Do:

Focus on positive thoughts and visualize positive outcomes. Wear an Azurite and Lapis Lazuli as primary pendants, and an amethyst as your primary ring. Exercise regularly to maintain balance and meditate.
