Stationary Planet

A planet is stationary when it appears to stop moving before turning retrograde or direct. During this station, the planet's energy becomes intensely concentrated on one zodiac degree. Natal planets that are stationary carry exceptional weight in the chart—their significations are amplified and deeply stamped into the personality. In transit, stationary planets create prolonged aspects to natal points, extending their influence for days or weeks beyond what a normally-moving planet would produce.

A stationary planet in your chart acts like a magnifying glass—its themes are pronounced and persistent in your life. You likely feel that planet's significations more intensely than most people.
