Retrograde Planets at Birth

Honestly, having lived with these natal retrogrades my whole life, I had no inclination to even investigate what the Universe was trying to show me, since my first birth chart creation in 1977.

Not including my North and South Nodes, I have five retrograde natal planets.

Venus Retrograde in a 2nd House Aquarius

Saturn Retrograde in a 9th House Virgo

Uranus Retrograde in a 7th House Cancer

Neptune Retrograde in a 10th House Libra

Pluto Retrograde in an 8th House Leo

It never struck me before how the Retrograde symbol (above) is identical to the symbol we attribute to medical prescriptions for health and well-being. Literally, a bit of medicinal poison to heal oneself. That’s what retrograde planets do for the individual: healing our karma.
