Please join me, Madame Zombra, in the future for a little astral travel, if you will. We shall look at the planets in their transits as they occur, not as prophecy but as signposts for our journey. In columns ahead, if you have questions, you may use the Comments section to ask them and I will do my best to answer your query.
A brief explanation of my absence from my posts for several weeks: a runaway baggage cart at the airport decided to run full tilt into me and thereby toss me into the carousel for retrieving luggage. It was a maneuver worthy of the running of the bulls in Spain, an event in which I have […]

“Astrology is one of the most ancient Sciences, held in high esteem of old, by the Wise and the Great. Formerly, no Prince would make War or Peace, nor any General fight in Battle, in short, no important affair was undertaken without first consulting an Astrologer.” – Benjamin Franklin Those were the days. – MZ
The original retrograde list was almost as long as a grocery list; however, some of the retreating planets on that list have shifted back to normalcy now, and we’ll consider the rest of the stubborn planets in this blog.

Ah, at last a retrograde planet whose regression will be over shortly – in fact, in only two days Saturn will return to forward motion in Aquarius, on October 23, 2022. That should be a cheering note, especially for the four signs who’ve been most affected by this transit: Aquarius (of course), Taurus, Leo and

And that’s what I would term this entire situation. Six planets retrograde at one and the same time. Utterly ridiculous. If I knew where to send the paperwork, I’d file a complaint. Thank the stars themselves that Mercury, at least, goes direct this Sunday, October 2, 2022. But Jupiter remains retrograde in Aries, receding until
