And if you were born during a retrograde, that retrograde appears in your birth chart. What about your birth chart? As you probably know, your birth chart is like a snapshot of where the Sun, Moon, and all the planets were in the zodiac when you were born. And no, retrogrades do not equal tragic or bad news, but they do carry profound effects that we should pay attention to. (The Sun and Moon don't, because they're what astrologers call luminaries, not planets.) In fact, the outer planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto can retrograde for many months at a time. And while Mercury goes retrograde more frequently than any other planet-doing so three to four times a year, for a period of a few weeks at a time-every planet retrogrades at some point. For example, Mercury is the planet of communication, so you might send a text to the wrong person during Mercury Retrograde-or break your phone. In astrology, whatever areas of life a planet rules will see a shift during its retrograde phase. While no planet actually moves backward within the sky-it's an optical illusion-we do notice effects within our personal lives and on a global scale during these pesky retrograde periods. Retrogrades are periods of time when a planet appears to move backwards in its orbit from our POV here on Earth. Whether you’re a newbie to astrology or have been a long-time fan, you’ve very likely heard of retrogrades by now.
