How to read a retrograde
Mercury, Venus, Mars rule the close-in, personal layers — communication, values, drive. Their retrogrades hit fast and feel personal: missed messages, second thoughts, restarts.
Jupiter and Saturn retrograde for months at a time and ask bigger questions about belief, structure, and the long arc you're building.
Uranus, Neptune, Pluto spend nearly half the year retrograde. Their stations matter more than the long middle — the days they change direction are when the unconscious material surfaces.
