Retrogrades in Astrology & Magic

Does your life feel unbalanced during Mercury retrograde?
Are you tired of miscommunication, tech issues and travel snafus when Mercury seems to move backwards?
Or are you tired of everyone blaming their problems and projecting their fears on a retrograde planet?
This livestream workshop unpacks and offers solutions to planetary retrogrades.

Retrograde transits occur when planets, asteroids and other celestial bodies appear to slow down and move backwards from our perspective on Earth. Although this backward movement is an optical illusion, in astrology, it typically heralds a period of flipping the energy or archetype governed by that planet on its head. For this reason, many people experience obstacles or challenges during retrograde transits.

In this livestream workshop, you'll join bestselling author Nicholas Pearson to discover the hidden blessings and most common challenges that arise for each planet's retrograde. The class features hands-on remedies and handy tips for navigating retrogrades.

This online workshop includes:

• What to do and what not to do for optimum retrograde efficiency and enjoyment
• Crystals, herbs and flower essences to counteract negative energies from each retrograde
• Easy magical practices to take advantage of the positive side of a retrograde transit

Together we'll explore the hidden blessings, spiritual insight and positive magical correspondences for each planet's retrograde period, helping you live a more magical and balanced life no matter what the planets are doing.

The first Mercury retrograde of 2027 is on Tuesday 9th February, so book now to discover how to navigate this upcoming retrograde (and future ones!).
