There are currently 5 planets in retrograde:

Greetings, Cosmic Wanderers!

Mercury in Virgo: Mercury's gone all "back to school" on us like a kid with a new backpack, and it's in Virgo, of all places. Time for some serious mental reorganizing, folks! Get out those notepads and start making lists. It's like spring cleaning for your brain. Really, it's not as bad as it sounds...unless you're allergic to dust. #MercuryRetrograde #BrainSpringCleaning

Venus in Leo: Venus is strutting her stuff in the fiery realm of Leo. Guess it’s time to let your love light shine. Embrace your inner diva, but remember, not everyone loves a drama queen (or king). Keep it fun, keep it creative, and keep it sunny-side up, my cosmic compadres. #VenusInLeo #LoveOnFire

Mars in Libra: Mars in Libra is like a warrior trying to negotiate a peace treaty. All dressed up in armor, but just wants to talk it out. So, channel that energy into resolving conflicts and balancing relationships. Just remember, it's okay to put down the sword sometimes. #MarsInLibra #PeacefulWarrior

Jupiter in Taurus: Jupiter is lounging out in Taurus, encouraging us all to get comfy and embrace the finer things in life. Jupiter in Taurus is basically the universe's way of saying, "Treat yo' self." Just don't overdo it, we don't want to morph into couch potatoes. #JupiterInTaurus #CosmicComfortFood

Saturn in Pisces: Saturn's doing its best 'wise old man by the sea' impression in Pisces. It’s time to take a deep dive into our spiritual side. Just remember, it's not the size of the fish you catch, it's the peace of mind you get from fishing...or something like that. #SaturnInPisces #DeepSeaWisdom
