Retrograde Planets Guide
Retrograde periods, when planets appear to move backward in the sky, are among the most discussed topics in astrology. This guide covers every retrograde period, its effects and how to navigate them.
What is Retrograde?
Retrograde occurs when a planet appears to move backward from Earth's perspective. No planet actually reverses — it is an optical illusion. In astrology these periods carry energy of slowing down, review and reassessment in the areas that planet governs.
