The Rose Theodora Podcast

Retrogrades and why they're a godsend during the pandemic.

Episode Summary

In this episode, Rose shares a personal experience that she has on a trip home during a Mercury retrograde. She touches on the upcoming retrogrades–Pluto, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, and Mars–all in 2020, and why their timing is so fitting for the pandemic, how Mercury will be retrograde three times (as opposed to four), each time in a different water sign this year, and what it means to be born with retrograde planets in the birth chart, and how to work with retrogrades constructively. This episode is full of nuggets about the importance of timing, rebirth, rediscovery, and how, when we are open to the natural cycles of life, rather than fighting them, we reap the rewards.
