Retrograde Report for 9 September, 2023

There are currently 6 planets in retrograde:

First up, Mercury's chilling out in over-analytical Virgo. Forget the 'Mercury in Retrograde' drama, this is more like 'Mercury Got a Job as an Accountant'. Expect some serious organizational skills to kick in. You might even find yourself color-coding your sock drawer or alphabetizing your spice rack. Embrace it. Life's too short for mismatched socks and misplaced paprika. #MercuryInVirgo

Venus, the cosmic queen of love, has sashayed into Leo's spotlight. Let's just say she's not feeling shy. Anticipate grand gestures of romance, bold fashion choices, and maybe even a little drama. Remember, it's not being high-maintenance, it's called having standards. #VenusInLeo

Mars in Libra? Oh boy, that's like putting a Klingon in a yoga class. Conflict meets compromise in an awkward planetary dance. But hey, if you've ever wanted to argue both sides of an argument with yourself, now's your chance! #MarsInLibra

Jupiter's made its home in Taurus, and it's all about abundance, baby! Expect your desires for comfort food and plush pillows to level up. Just remember, too much of a good thing can be...well, still pretty good. But don't forget about moderation! #JupiterInTaurus

Saturn's taken a dip in the Piscean pool. Get ready for some serious introspection. On the bright side, you'll have plenty of material for your next therapy session, or at least a deep, soulful blog post. #SaturnInPisces
