Retrogrades need a rebrand.

As we navigate a peak retrograde moment, with both Venus and Mercury retrograde, I’ve been thinking about how constructive these moments are – if only we allow them to be.

Retrogrades, at their core, are a review. In life, we must review our work. If we only move forward without ever looking back and reflecting, we run the (almost certain) risk of losing ourselves in the process.

It’s in the review that we reconnect to our truths, that we see where we’ve gone astray, and we fix what’s broken. It’s not always fun or easy, but it can be extremely valuable.

So today, I’m sharing some specifics on how to reflect with retrogrades - breaking down the meaning of the most important moments in the retrograde cycle and how we can engage that energy for our reflective practice.

Then, I break down the important dates and features of Mercury and Venus retrograde of Spring 2025 so you can dig into what this moment is offering you.

And if you’re watching this in the future, I think it’s still valuable to reflect on these specific retrogrades, since we’re in the middle of some big astrological s**t poppin’ off – I imagine you’ll be able to look back at Spring 2025 as one of the more pivotal moments of your life.
