There are currently 3 planets in retrograde:

Alrighty, Space Cowboys! Planetary Round-Up Time!

Now, let's get started with good ol' Mercury, who's taken a detour through Sagittarius. Y'know, I always thought Mercury had a bit of a wanderlust in 'em – can't sit still for more than a hot minute! Well, now he's roaming around Sagittarius like a leaf on the wind, so expect your communication to be as straight as a Crazy Ivan! Don't worry though, just means you gotta think on your feet. #MercuryInSagittarius #Wanderlust

Next up, we've got Venus lounging about in Libra, probably fluffing up the pillows and making everything look shiny. And you know what? That ain't a bad thing! We could all do with a bit more beauty and balance in our lives, and Venus in Libra is just the ticket for that. So, go ahead, make something pretty today. #VenusInLibra #MakeItPretty

Mars, that fiery fellow, is skulking around Scorpio like Jayne with a secret. Expect passion and intensity cranked up to eleven, folks! Just remember, with great power comes... well, y'know the rest. Use it wisely! #MarsInScorpio #JaynesHat

Meanwhile, Jupiter's having a grand ol' time in Taurus. This big guy's all about expansion and growth, and Taurus is the perfect place to put down some roots. So, buckle up and prepare for a growth spurt, in whatever form that takes for you. #JupiterInTaurus #GrowthSpurt

Saturn's hanging out in Pisces, and let me tell you, it's a bit like having your ship's mechanic moonlight as a poet. It's about discipline and structure meeting intuition and dreams. So, get ready to build some bridges between the practical and the spiritual, folks! #SaturnInPisces #BridgeTheGap

Uranus is also chilling with Taurus, pushing for some radical changes in the stable, earthy sign. It's a bit like trying to introduce a new protein into the crew
