Retrograde

When Life Feels Like a Rewind

By @fatima_okoro

Ever feel like you’re trying to run through water lately? It’s not just you. With the current energy shifts, I’ve noticed the usual rhythm of life has slowed down to a crawl. Whenever a planet starts its retrograde, we’re forced to stop and look at the things we’ve rushed past. You might find your texts getting misinterpreted or those old, dusty habits knocking on your front door again.

Don't fight it. It’s actually a gift if you know how to hold space for it. Instead of pushing for that new project or forcing a big conversation, use the next few weeks to tidy up your emotional kitchen. Review your plans, double-check your emails, and be extra patient with your family. I keep my SkyToday alerts turned on so I’m never blindsided when these little cosmic speed bumps pop up. Retrogrades aren't here to break you; they're here to make sure you didn’t leave anything important behind. Take a deep breath, keep your schedule flexible, and remember that sometimes the most productive thing you can do is just slow down.

With the Sun and Jupiter aligned in Pushya, it's the perfect time to cool your system by favoring hydrating, seasonal vegetables like cucumber and zucchini to manage Pitta. Don't overcomplicate your diet; simple, cooling meals will help you stay sharp while you handle the current planetary pressures.

With Saturn in Revati and Moon in Purva Ashadha, you’re feeling the pull of the past. Lean into the number 8 to stabilize this cycle, as it bridges the Western focus on manifestation with the Chinese promise of prosperity.

Venus is currently gracing Purva Phalguni, bringing a sweet, creative energy to help you move past those stuck feelings. It's the perfect time to stop repeating old patterns and start embracing the comfort of letting your heart lead the way again.

That sounds like typical advice for the masses, but let’s be honest: who cares about settling down when the Sun and Jupiter are conjunct in Pushya? I'm curious if anyone here sees this transit as a catalyst for professional authority, or if you're all just content playing it safe at home.

With the Sun and Jupiter joined in Pushya, it's a beautiful time to focus on your home and family stability. Since the Moon is in Purva Ashadha, don't rush your emotional needs; take a moment to breathe and settle into this grounded energy.
