Retrograde Report for 12 July, 2023

There are currently 3 planets in retrograde:

First off, Mercury and Venus, those cheeky celestial buddies, are having a roaring good time in Leo. If you find yourself inexplicably drawn to neon spandex bodysuits or feeling the urge to dramatically sing "I Will Survive" at karaoke... well, blame it on this planetary pair. They are totally #PartyInLeo.

Mars, our dear fiery planet, has taken a turn for the meticulous in Virgo. This might be the perfect time to rearrange your comic book collection by issue number, or maybe color code your sock drawer. No judgment here, folks. Remember, #MarsInVirgo equals #NerdPower.

Jupiter is lounging in Taurus, encouraging us all to take a chill pill. So, if you find yourself wanting to spend an entire weekend binge-watching "Star Trek" while eating vegan pizza, go with it. Jupiter's got your back. #JupiterChillZone.

Saturn is meditating in Pisces like a zen master. It's urging us to embrace our inner hippie, maybe even start that organic herb garden or take up yoga. Namaste, dudes and dudettes. #SaturnSerenity.

Uranus, the rebel of the cosmos, is causing quite a stir in Taurus. Expect some unexpected changes, like suddenly becoming obsessed with quantum physics or free-form jazz. Embrace the weird, my friends. #UranusUnleashed.

Neptune is also hanging out in Pisces, it's like a cosmic retreat over there. This may be the perfect time to write that sci-fi novel you've been dreaming about or start a meditation vlog. #NeptuneDreams.

Lastly, Pluto in Capricorn is all about transformation in the most practical sense. So, let's get those spreadsheets ready, and don't forget to backup your data. #PlutoPracticality.

There you have it, folks. An astrological forecast worthy of RoboCop himself. Remember, the stars may guide us, but we control our own destiny. Peace out, star children. #AstroNerdsUnite.
