Transcript
Some of your planets may carry a small R. That planet appeared to move backwards when you were born. Nothing physically reversed; Earth and that planet were passing each other. Astrologically, a retrograde planet works inward first. Mercury retrograde in your chart means you think before you speak and edit before you send, and it means the three weeks a year when Mercury goes retrograde in the sky are your home turf, not your nightmare. When a transiting planet is retrograde, its territory is being revisited: re-read, re-plan, re-connect.
