Zodiac path: Capricorn. The shadow period is context, not a second retrograde. Use the station degrees to check close natal placements rather than treating the whole season as equally intense.

How to use this timeline

Read the four milestones in order: the first degree crossing, the retrograde station, the direct station, and the final degree crossing. The exact station degrees are more useful than treating the whole season as equally intense.

How to personalize the dates

Start with natal planets or angles close to the station degrees. Then check which natal houses contain the zodiac path shown above. This keeps the reading tied to chart evidence.
