When the planets slow down, you should too

It’s funny how we get so tense when we hear the word 'retrograde.' I get messages every time a planet looks like it’s backing up. Don’t panic. It isn't a curse; it’s just a cosmic pause button.

Right now, things might feel a bit sticky. You know those emails that go to the wrong person? Or that ex who suddenly pops up in your notifications? That’s the rhythm of these shifts. It’s not meant to stop your life, but it is asking you to slow down.

When we see these cycles, it’s actually a beautiful chance to clean up the messes we’ve ignored. If you’ve been rushing, you’ll probably find yourself tripping over your own feet this month. Just stop. Take a breath. Re-read that contract twice, or maybe hold off on sending that risky text for a few days.

I’ve learned that fighting the retrograde just makes the friction worse. Use this time to finish what you started weeks ago instead of chasing something brand new. It’s a season for reflection, not force. Your relationships will actually thank you if you use this energy to listen more than you speak. Just stay patient, keep your cool, and don't take the little delays personally.
