Hi Fam,
I'm curious if JWG has ever spoken about that point when a planet is stationary between direct and retrograde, at that tiny window of time when it is neither moving forward or backward at all from our geocentric POV. If JWG hasn't spoken on it, are there EA astrologers who comprehend this dynamic and are able to share their wisdom?
Many thanks!
Hi Sarah Pee,
Here are the answers from the old message board. This is what JWG taught.

Hi Rad and everyone, would you please help me understand what does stationary planet/node mean in EA point of view?
I found this in glossary book :A stationing anything, planet or node, is a magnifying force. Would you please give a example? Or where can i find more information about it? I don't understand how is the magnifying force different than other case.
Thanks as always. Wei
Hi Wei,
It is a magnifying force because of going stationary: this causes the planets, nodes, or asteroids to be archetypally magnified because of the lack of MOTION. Imagine yourself holding a magnifying glass upon a pile of leaves in which the magnifying glass is held against the Sun. If you keep sweeping the magnifying glass back and forth, motion, it will take longer for the leaves to catch on fire versus holding it totally still. Holding it totally still will combust those leaves many times faster than the back and forth motion of the magnifying glass.
"The stationary retrograde correlates to a whole cycle, lifetimes, of the retrograde archetype coming to a head. As such it has an extra intensification of the retrograde archetype in order to bring that cycle to a close. The stationary direct correlates to the Soul passing through, evolving, the stationary retrograde in such a way that it is now ready to begin to act upon a new cycle in which all that was learned during the retrograde cycle that came to a head at the stationary retrograde in the current life. And beyond. The Soul is no longer needing to repeat the dynamics that were occurring within it during the retrograde cycle even as the realizations and lessons learned during that cycle ARE NOW APPLIED to the current life being lived".
God Bless, Rad

I understand a bit of the example you gave but still wonder what would be the difference between a planet stationary about to be retrograde and stationary about to be direct. Could you explain a bit more on how this magnified function would work for both situations?
Thank you,
Helena
Hi Helena,
When is stationary and about to go retrograde it magnifies the intent of the Soul to individuate the function of the planet that is about to go retrograde as well as setting in motion a time frame in which the Soul will repeat, re-experience, recreate dynamics, people, circumstances that the Soul has created in it's evolutionary past to relearn from so that when the planet goes stationary direct all that is relearned can be applied to the Soul's evolutionary future.
So when a planet is then stationary direct the Soul has magnified within itself all that has been relearned, redefined, in a new and individualized way that allows the Soul to evolve into it's future in this new way.
God Bless, Rad

This answers the question perfectly. Many thanks, Rad.
