If you’ve dabbled in astrology, you’ve likely encountered the notorious term “retrograde.” Mercury retrograde, occurring multiple times a year, is perhaps the most infamous. However, contrary to common misconceptions, a retrograde doesn’t signify the end of the world or give you carte blanche to blame chaos on the cosmos. 🌟 Retrogrades are optical illusions, observed from Earth, yet they wield tangible effects on our daily experiences.
During retrogrades, the themes governed by the retrograding planet come under review and reassessment. Delays and stagnation in these areas are often noticeable. Moreover, retrogrades have a curious tendency to resurrect people and situations from our past, prompting reflection and reconsideration.
