Year of Retrograde Transits, 2018

We can term 2018 as the year of retrogrades. All 5 planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter & Saturn) which could be retrograde during transits went retrograde. Yesterday we finished Venus retrograde and today we entered into the last retrograde of the year, i.e. Mercury retrograde.

Retrograde means planet is closer to Earth and its rays are reaching us more intensely. So, we can look back at 2018 as one of the most intense year as all 5 planets went retrograde.

Retrograde is also about reflecting back at events of life and we reflect back at something only when we fail at it. So, all these retrograde planets may have made us reflect back on mistakes of past. One good thing attached with retrograde is that as we realize mistakes of past, we become more aware and don't repeat the same mistakes again in live. So, retrograde planets are helpful in making your future better through the lessons of past.

Here, a generic article on Mercury retrograde. I consider Mercury retrograde as the most irritating time ever. In 90% of cases, it doesn't cause any serious trouble and the events happening in this time can look petty like missing keys, losing mobile phone, miscommunication or misunderstanding in communications, change of travel plans, losing your data in computer, slow or no internet etc. Although, these events look petty but they are enough to spoil your day. Hence, I see it as irritating time then anything else.

By the way, I was supposed to travel today to my home town but had to change the plans.P

Happy Final Retrograde of 2018.
