Born During Retrograde? What It Says About You

The Inward Turn

When a planet is retrograde in your natal chart (marked with an 'Rx'), its energy is turned inward. It operates on a subjective, personal level rather than an external one.

Mercury Retrograde Natal

You might process information differently. You're likely a deep thinker who prefers to rehearse what you say before you say it. You may have felt misunderstood as a child, but you have a unique way of seeing the world.

Venus Retrograde Natal

You have unconventional values in love and beauty. You might struggle with self-worth early in life, but you are learning to love yourself independently of others' validation. Your aesthetic is likely unique and avant-garde.

Mars Retrograde Natal

You may struggle to express anger directly. It can bottle up and explode, or turn into passive-aggression. Your lesson is to learn healthy assertion and to fight for what you believe in, not just what you want.

Saturn Retrograde Natal

The "absent father" placement. You likely had little structure growing up and had to become your own authority figure. You are hard on yourself, but this builds immense inner strength and self-discipline over time.
