Retrograde Report for 9 December, 2023

There are currently 2 planets in retrograde:

Mercury, that swift-footed messenger of the gods, is currently lounging in the practical, goal-oriented realms of Capricorn. This could mean a focus on structure and order, but be careful not to become as rigid as C3PO's metallic joints, my friends! #MercuryInCapricorn

Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, is sashaying through the intense depths of Scorpio. Matters of the heart might feel as deep and mysterious as the Dark Side of the Force. But remember, love is like a lightsaber - it can cut through anything. #VenusInScorpio

Mars, the warrior planet, is galloping through the spirited fires of Sagittarius. Just like Han Solo, you might feel the urge to shoot first and ask questions later. Be sure to aim your enthusiasm wisely, lest you find yourself in the Sarlacc pit of regret. #MarsInSagittarius

Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion, is rolling around in the lush fields of Taurus. This might bring about growth and prosperity akin to Yoda's wisdom. Yet, don't get too comfortable in your Dagobah hut, there's a whole galaxy out there waiting to be explored! #JupiterInTaurus

Saturn, the taskmaster, is swimming in the dreamy seas of Pisces. This could instill a sense of discipline in your dreams, like Luke enduring his Jedi training. But tread lightly, for fear is the path to the Dark Side. #SaturnInPisces

Uranus, the planet of rebellion, is also hanging out in Taurus, shaking things up like a Wookiee at a droid repair shop. Expect the unexpected, and may the Force be with you during these turbulent times. #UranusInTaurus

Neptune, the planet of illusion, is also in Pisces. This could cause reality to feel as elusive as a hologram of Princess Leia. But fret not, just stay grounded and remember - this isn't Tatooine, it's just another day in the universe! #NeptuneInP
