Ye because certain signs are ruled by certain planets. You should always read it from your ascendant sign and not your sun sign. Ascendant for physical reality and moon for how you’ll interpret whatever is happening.

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.

@ladya Wouldn't people be affected by retrogrades differently according to the placement of planets in their charts? My Saturn is not that good, so when Saturn retrograded instead of it being bad, I actually felt a little better. In case of Mercury retrograde, I would think that there could be problems and interferences in technology and stuff but not bad a personal level for everyone. What are your thoughts? I'd love to hear an explanation from you :)

Ye! I said there’s too many nuances to say how it will affect generally. Like I hate when mars Retros because I always feel less energy because it’s so strong in my chart and I’m very on the go, let’s get this done person. Everyone’s chart is different. Mercury doesn’t just represent technology it’s also our nerves and conscious mind. Selma Blair coming out about her MS around this time. Mercury represents a lot more than just technology. Along with moon, afflicted mercury is a major cause of a lot of nerve or mental disorders.

I know and communication too! It's currently transiting through my fourth house and since it's a benefic, its making me a little bit nervous by retrograding.

I personally don't buy into it.... or astrology in general. I find it hard to believe that everyone born at a certain time will have the same personality traits and future paths. We are individually  products of our environments, experiences, choices etc....

Each person has a natal chart as individual and unique as a thumbprint. It is incredibly complex and personal if you know how to study a chart. "Sun sign" astrology is not real astrology.

Agreed and also everyone has their own karma in this life. Even when you analyze twins, there’s ways to analyze the older twin from the younger twin. Astrology is highly complex and there’s divisional charts that add another layer.
