Enroll in the Full SeriesAbout the Series
This in-depth class series is devoted to the evolutionary meaning of each retrograde planet, both in transit and in the natal chart.
Each class was taught live on Zoom in 2021, with dates chosen around key planetary transits in each retrograde cycle: a Sun–planet conjunction or opposition, a planet stationing retrograde or direct, or a planet about to enter its retrograde shadow.
Each of the 9 classes is between 1 hour 25 minutes and 2 hours 6 minutes (over 15 hours in total), and comes with a workbook with notes and a review of the core teachings.
What Students Say
The Retrograde Class Series was exactly what I needed to encourage understanding and insight, rather than fear, of the “r” word. In an astrology climate of superficial catch phrases to describe the planets’ retrogrades, your gentle coaxing of a deeper understanding of the nuances of those retrogrades was presented with the authenticity of heart and soul. The intimacy of your teaching style always leaves me feeling as if I’ve just come from a profound soul-nurturing initiation into the understanding of the Self in the Cosmos, whether attending live or via a recorded session. Thank you for your devotion and generosity in sharing your wisdom.
— Kelly Moran, Artist
I really consider you as one of my most important astrology (and soul) teachers. So… thank you. The retrograde class series was amazing. I watched all of the videos already several times. And the workbooks are so, so helpful. Ari is a wise and gifted teacher, who leads the class in a gentle, empathic but always purposeful way. He sets up a safe space and well-structured container for learning, growing, healing and evolving. I highly recommend Ari as a teacher and his courses for astrological studies and personal soul’s growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
It’s no longer 2021. Why are these classes relevant now?
These classes teach the evolutionary meaning of the retrograde archetype for each planet, and the teachings are universal by nature. While I often referred to the retrograde cycles happening at the time, I did so only to provide examples and embrace an easy teaching opportunity. These teachings are full of diverse examples and are useful any time, especially as these planets continue to station retrograde every year.
What kind of chart examples are used?
In most classes I give examples of well-known people, and I often opened the final 30 or so minutes of class to student interaction and live chart examples.
Is there a difference between retrograde in transit and in the natal chart? Which did you teach?
Retrograde planets in the natal chart reflect karmic dynamics specific to a particular soul’s evolutionary journey, and must be interpreted in that context. Transiting retrogrades, while happening for everyone, manifest in ways relevant to each soul’s present evolutionary needs. The retrograde archetype always needs to be applied to an individual context to be properly understood, which is why blanket retrograde generalizations are generally wrong. In this series we worked with both natal and transiting retrogrades.
