Retrograde Planets

Retrograde planets simply means the planets appears to be moving backward in the sky. Retrograde planets are traditionally thought to present us with some difficulties because the more troublesome nature of the planet is more obvious when it is in retrograde motion. This can be the case, more so if the retrograde planet is making a difficult aspect to your chart, such as a square or opposition.

As an example of retrograde planets, Venus rules love and money. With Venus retrograde, you may have to address some shortcomings in these areas. Retrograde planets also indicate karmic issues. So with Venus retrograde, you may face money problems if you have been wasteful in the past.

Or perhaps and old lover may reappear.
