Retrogrades 2005 (scroll down for products)
Most people have Mercury Retrograde stories... misbehaving computers, mixed up communications, travel trials and tribulations, plans gone awry. Then there are the less frequent but equally disorienting Venus and Mars Retrograde periods as well. Even though these are regular occurrences, most folks are caught unawares. That's why we decided to offer these handy, elegant and practical retrograde guides, available on mugs and mousepads in distinctive styles.

The station dates are highlighted. More than that, our design features the shadow dates for Mercury, Venus and Mars.

For you astrology newbies, the shadow period occurs before and after the retrograde period. It begins when the planet first enters the area of the zodiac that it will retrograde through, and ends when it reaches the end of that zone. In a threefold process, we experience what will need to be reworked (beginning shadow period); we review, rethink and release (retrograde period); and return to the situation with a new approach (ending shadow period).

With Jupiter and Saturn stations included, it's the perfect gift for astrologers, their clients or anyone who cares to know what's ahead. Forewarned is forearmed, right?
