1. A Soul Welcome

Hey beautiful soul,
Let’s get something straight. Retrograde is not your enemy.
It’s not the reason your Wi-Fi broke, your ex texted “hey,” or your email disappeared into the void.

It’s something much deeper, more spiritual, and, believe it or not, sacred.

This blog is a guide to understanding what’s really happening when the planets appear to go backward in the sky. This is for the lightseekers, the empaths, the old souls, and even the skeptics who just want peace when Mercury starts acting up.

Spoiler: The Universe isn’t against you, it’s recalibrating you.
