Retrograde Report for 28 September, 2023

There are currently 5 planets in retrograde:

Greetings Earthlings and potential Martians!

Mercury, our charming and chatty neighbor, is currently hanging out in practical Virgo. To put it in Wall-E terms, imagine if Wall-E had to sort all the trash by himself while everyone else was off enjoying a cosmic cruise. That's Mercury in Virgo for you! It's time to get your thinking caps on and organize your life... or at least your sock drawer! #MercuryInVirgo

Venus, the planet of love and beauty, is having a grand old time in vibrant Leo. Think EVE, full of charm and charisma (and a tad bit of sass). It's high time you embraced your inner diva - and maybe even indulge in some karaoke. Sing it out, folks! #VenusInLeo

Mars, the planet of action, passion, and desire, has taken a detour to diplomatic Libra. It's like Wall-E trying to keep peace between that cockroach and that spork he found. It's about balance, folks. Stand up for yourself, but don't forget your manners. #MarsInLibra

Jupiter, the jolly giant, is chilling in down-to-earth Taurus. This is like Wall-E finding that tiny green plant and celebrating with a dance. Embrace the simple things in life and remember to appreciate what you have. #JupiterInTaurus

Saturn, the planet of discipline and hard work, is in dreamy Pisces. Imagine Wall-E trying to teach that cockroach how to do ballet. It might seem challenging at first, but keep at it and you'll create something beautiful out of chaos. #SaturnInPisces

Uranus, the planet of change and revolution, is also in Taurus. Think of Wall-E's tireless efforts to clean up the Earth. It's time to roll up your sleeves and make some big changes in your life. Don't worry, you've got this! #UranusInTaurus

Neptune, the planet of dreams and intuition, is currently in Pisces. This is like Wall-E dreaming of holding hands with EVE. Let your imagination run wild and trust your instincts. The universe has got your back. #Ne
