Love2lovenj:
Do you all believe in it? Do you really feel it affects things.  I don't really follow any of that stuff but would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on it.

Fidget1028:
It's funny. I don't necessarily follow or believe in it but a friend always has crap happen as retrograde starts. We're friends on Facebook and she doesn't follow astronomy, but she'll always say "is the are retrograde happening, because xxxxx just happened" and it always is. Today her antique mirror fell off the wall and she posted "is there a retrograde again???" Lmao...yes Anita, there is.

I am a 100% believer in the planets and their effect on us. However, they all affect us differently. There’s too many nuances involved to make generalizations. The best way to see for yourself if it’s playing a role is go back to previous retrograde dates and see if anything happened. Or note down any future ones. I like doing the going back in time because you’re less likely to make things fit. This is what I did with a lot of astrology when I first got into it. Observe it in your own life or others around you. I never lose my phone or anything really but everytime I traced back to me losing my phone it was a mercury retro. Coincidence, possibly? But I don’t believe in coincidences. I observed similar things from other people I know as well. I rem one of the last mercury retros, I was driving home and I saw like 3 cars broken down on the way in a matter of like a 10 min drive home and I completely forgot it was mercury retro at the time and I rem even think to myself this is odd and I got home and remembered it was mercury retro. They also werent new cars which is usually what breaks down during the retro. Things that are no longer working.

HornetKick:
People always want to associate certain occurrences happening to give reasons as to why some things turn out the way they do. I'm sure miscommunications, things breaking down, or lost objects happen outside of the retrograde, so what's the excuse then?  I’ve also known people to get overly tied down by things like this and not living their lives by staying at home. It’s just ridiculous imo.

If you never knew about some retrograde before you heard about it or it became known to you, most of us would have never associated occurrences happening due to the retrograde to begin with.

Love2lovenj:
Yes i honestly never heard anything about it until these last few months of readings.  Advisors saying things might be pushed back a few days or plans may fall through because of it.
