Maximum disruption period. Slow down, double-check everything, focus on review and revision. All "re-" activities thrive.

What is Retrograde?
Retrograde is an optical illusion where a planet appears to move backward in the sky. From Earth, faster-orbiting planets seem to reverse direction periodically. In astrology, this apparent backward motion signals a time to review, reflect, and revise the life areas governed by that planet.
