Retrograde planets have a significant influence on a person’s birth chart. A planet is considered to be in retrograde when it appears to be moving backward from the perspective of the Earth. This happens because the Earth and the other planets in our solar system are in constant motion, and sometimes the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto) appear to be moving in the opposite direction to their usual path across the sky.
When a planet is in retrograde motion, its energy is thought to be turned inward and intensified, creating a more introspective and reflective atmosphere. This can manifest in different ways depending on the planet and the sign it is in, but generally, retrograde periods are seen as times for reviewing, revising, and reflecting on the areas of life associated with that planet.
