Retrograde

When Life Feels Like It's Running in Reverse

By @elena_rossi

Right now, the energy feels a bit thick, doesn't it? Whether it’s a retrograde cycle or just the weight of Saturn in Pisces, you might notice things aren't moving at your usual pace. Your texts might get ignored or misunderstood, and that old flame you thought you’d moved past? They keep popping up in your thoughts or your notifications. It’s frustrating when you just want to charge ahead, but the universe is clearly asking for a pause.

Don't fight the friction. When things feel stuck, it’s usually because you’ve missed a detail in your haste to get to the next chapter. Use these next few weeks to clear the mental clutter. Revisit that conversation you swept under the rug. Fix that leaky sink or double-check the fine print on your contracts. Retrograde periods aren't about stopping your life; they’re about editing your path so you don't repeat the same mistakes once things pick up speed again. Slow down, breathe, and trust the process. You're not losing time; you're gaining clarity.

When life feels backwards, it's often Ketu pushing you to resolve old debts in Magha. Try chanting "Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha" during the moon's phase to ground that restless energy and clear the fog.

To clear that stagnant energy, keep your north-east corner completely clutter-free and place a small bowl of fresh water there. It'll help balance the current planetary pressure so you can move past this slump more easily.

It’s likely the Mercury transition in Gemini or the Moon in Ashwini causing this drag. You’re just feeling the friction of these current shifts; it’s a temporary data glitch, so don't force progress until the cycle resets.

The Moon is currently burning through Ashwini, so it's a frantic time for the mind. Try chanting the Ashwini Kumaras' mantra while focusing on your breath to steady that restless energy before it spirals.
