Disclaimer: I am not an astronomer or an astrologer, I’m an enthusiast, providing dates for those who want to be prepared. I am not providing details for how these retrogrades can affect you, so if you’re interested in that I recommend doing further research. Planets are like characters, zodiac signs are like costumes, so when a planet enters a new sign, the character acts in a new way.
Celestial Bodies listed nearest to furthest from the Sun.
Mercury
Mercury will have three retrogrades:
February 25 - March 20 (22 days) in Pisces
June 29 - July 23 (24 days) in Cancer
October 24 - November 13 (20 days) in Scorpio
Venus
Venus will have one retrograde:
October 3 - November 13 (41 days) starting in Scorpio and entering Libra on October 23
Earth
Earth doesn’t retrograde, and neither do the other planets. They just “appear” to be moving backward as observed from Earth. When the planets start slowing down Earth goes past them in its orbit creating an optical illusion. However, in astrology these period of perceived retrogrades bring a focus on reflection and introspection, they present periods of delays, misunderstandings, or setbacks.
Mars
No retrograde(s) this year.

Substack is where I typically deep dive my already publicly released work, which are two poetry books, three photography books, and seven films so far.
