What is a Retrograde?
Retrogrades is a word given to the period of time where a planet looks like it is suspended in a stationary position then proceeds to travel in an apparent opposite rotation motion. During this duration of time the energy that the planet possess is often slowed down and become more subjective.
What does it mean when I was born during a planet’s retrograde?
In general it can cause a minor setback for you in what that planet represents. You may find yourself struggling in that area, but it doesn’t mean you are doomed to failure in that placement what so ever it will be just more of an obstacle.
How do I know when my planet is in Retrograde?
You will need to view your birth chart so if you don’t have it saved anywhere click here to recalculate it.
Once you do that in the column next to the degrees if there is a “R” next to it means the planet was in retrograde when you were born. You can have several or none retrograding planets when you were born. Above is my birth chart and you can see that there is a retrograde in Mercury and Saturn.
What does each retrograding planet stand for?
Mercury: Those born during a Mercury retrograde may find themselves struggle in the social scene and be reluctant to voice their opinions/idea. Non-verbal communication is what they are succeed best with such as a creative pursuit. They are prone to being deep-thinkers and having the capability to draw their own conclusions, but this often makes them trapped in their own mind.
Venus: Those born during a Venus retrograde may find themselves struggle with self-love and acceptance of oneself. In a relationship they can cause difficulties in it because they are prone to self-sabotage. The overwhelming fear of rejection may be present as well. Also people born in this retrograde may seek socialization more then others, but can be rather shy about it.
Mars: Those born during a Mars retrograde may find themselves struggle to stand up for themselves in a conflict. They aren’t one to love competition because it can often bring discomfort. They are prone to fits of rage rather then healthier outburst of emotion. They can also come on too strong in certain situations.
Jupiter: Those born during a Jupiter retrograde may find themselves with a different set of beliefs/morals and hold unusual perspectives. They prefer to learn how to behave from own experiences rather then what other people tell them. They also are not ones to believe in luck and because of that they are prone to constantly worrying about the future.
Saturn: Those born during a Saturn retrograde may find themselves struggle with the feelings of guilt and self-doubt more so then others as well as feelings of anxiety in certain situations. These fears are internalized therefore not might be that apparent in those born with Saturn retrograde. They are prone to feeling as if they are letting people down and that they are not fulfilling their responsibilities despite the fact that they are doing nothing wrong.
Uranus: Those born during a Uranus retrograde may struggle with change and have a distrust with new technologies or improvements. They also may hide their eccentric attributes of their personality. People with Uranus retrograde are prone to outburst of rage and/or rebellion and then carry on normally afterwards.
Neptune: Those born during a Neptune retrograde may find themselves struggle with showing compassion and often hide their insecurities and spiritual side. They take comfort in being reserved and keeping their secrets private. They also tend to have a realistic outlook on life but is prone to thinking very negatively.
Pluto: Those born during a Pluto retrograde may find themselves struggle with trusting others and fear being controlled, manipulated or betrayed more then others. They often desire power and control because of this fear. However, they often keep these fears to themselves rather then talking about it.

Anything else I should know?
What is very important to note that a retrograde can cause obstacles in your daily life, but that doesn’t mean it controls you. If something goes wrong during a retrograde you can fix it, don’t use that as an excuse to not be proactive. Retrogrades happen all the time (it is very common) so don’t let that put a pause in your life.
The Sun adds confidence & self-assurance to the house it is posited in. If paired with a generally “heavy” or volatile planet (Mars, Saturn, or Pluto), this confidence was likely an issue to achieve due to the person or group of people the house in question represents. The Sun’s presence may also indicate a level of ease, or a sense of a relationship coming naturally, because the sun is such a simple but vast part of who we are. On the negative side, arrogance and assumptions are probable themes as well.
The Moon adds intimacy & nurturance to the house it is posited in. If paired with a generally “heavy” or volatile planet (Mars, Saturn, or Pluto), the intimacy is unhealthy (or it will be eventually) and unnecessary. Everything about this house affects you on a deep & extremely personal level. You may try to mother or desire to be mothered by the person or group of people the house in question represents. You may form habits around this house’s theme.
Mercury adds communication & mental connection to the house it is posited in, as well as possibly logic, a lack of emotion, or a mechanical approach to the situation/relationship. If paired with a generally “heavy” or volatile planet (Mars, Saturn, or Pluto), the connections will be colored by struggle, discomfort, and misunderstanding. You/the person/the group of people may be focused on teaching, learning, forming connections, or the situation/relationship itself.
Venus adds grace & beauty to the house it is posited in. If paired with a generally “heavy” or volatile planet (Mars, Saturn, or Pluto), this energy may become obsessive, overindulgent, confrontational (or conflict-avoidant), or overall unhealthy. Its presence implies that the situation/relationship will be centered around art, affection, love, beauty, and peace.
Mars adds force & competition to the house it is posited in. It generally implies a volatility or aggression (especially if paired with Saturn/Pluto), but if a feminine planet (the Moon, Venus, or Neptune) is present, this affect may be lessened and the energy will likely be focused on a different aspect of the relationship (probably the realm of the feminine planet). Self-assertion, violence, rivalry, contest, dominance, or (paradoxically) weakness & insecurity may be at the core of the situation/relationship.
Jupiter adds abundance & positivity to the house it is posited in. It usually lessens the negative affects of any generally “heavy” or volatile planets it may be paired with. Jupiter inflates whatever it touches, so it multiplies or expands the central theme of a house – for example, if it’s in the third house, that may indicate that the native will have many siblings. It also adds a philosophical or theological hue to the house it’s in. Morals and luck are associated with Jupiter’s presence as well.
Saturn adds control & restriction to the house it is posited in. It always indicates struggle where it is located. Saturn is a planet of tough love, teaching us through strife; therefore, the house it’s in will have lessons for you to learn. The situation/relationship may feel confined, stressed, and typically unhappy, and it usually implies a need for change. Fear may be a strong theme; the person or group of people associated with the house in question may have authority over you or you may have authority over/responsibly to them.
Uranus adds eccentricity & dynamic to the house it is posited in. Rebelliousness, unconventionality, and quirkiness and may the central theme. The person or group of people associated with the house may initiate your rebellion somehow, or you may initiate theirs. You (or they) may feel that the situation/relationship is skewed, unnatural, strange, unacceptable, refreshing, unique, inspiring, or fascinating.
Neptune adds confusion & mystery to the house it is posited in. The situation/relationship will likely be buried and misunderstood. Neglect is a strong theme of Neptune; its presence may indicate an overt or subconscious abandonment of some sort, either on your part or that of the person / group of people associated with the house. Nothing Neptune touches can regularly be comprehended clearly; perception will be compromised.
Pluto adds intensity & transformation to the house it is posited in. Pluto’s presence is one of the most difficult to handle, as it generally indicates immense pain & struggle. It destroys what it touches, and then remakes it. Profound change is always a theme where Pluto is located. It is possibly the most volatile of the planets and its position describes the area of your psyche & your life where the most chaos lies, where you must unearth the issue and solve it, which is never an easy task. Power, fear, destruction, and turmoil are associated with Pluto, but so are rebirth and transfiguration.
