Retrograde
When a planet appears to move backward - a time for review.
Retrograde motion is an optical illusion where a planet appears to move backward in the sky from Earth's perspective. Astrologically, retrogrades signal times to review, revisit, and reconsider matters related to that planet. It's not about things going wrong, but about slowing down and looking back before moving forward again.
Example
During Venus retrograde, you might reconnect with an ex, reassess your values, or reconsider what you truly want in relationships.
