FAQ
What is Mercury retrograde?
Mercury retrograde is a period when the planet appears to move backward from Earth's perspective. Mercury rules communication, transport, and technology. During retrograde, these areas require extra attention — delays, misunderstandings, and tech glitches are more likely.
How do eclipses affect zodiac signs?
Eclipses are powerful astrological turning points. Solar eclipses often mark the start of a new cycle; lunar eclipses signal completion and release. Their effects are strongest for those whose key natal chart positions are close to the eclipse degree.
What does an outer planet changing signs mean?
Outer planets (Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) change signs every several years, setting the backdrop for entire generations or historical periods. Uranus changes signs roughly every 7 years, shifting dominant themes in society and technology.
