Born During Mercury Retrograde? ~ What It Means & When It Changes ✨

What does it mean to be born with a retrograde planet?

In this episode, I’m answering a listener question about Mercury retrograde in the natal chart — and what it really looks like to carry that inward, reflective energy throughout your life.

We explore how retrogrades shift through progressions, what it means when a planet changes direction, and why those moments can feel like major turning points.

I also dive into Mercury at 0° and 29° — the beginning and end of a sign — and how those placements can show up across generations in meaningful ways.

And if you’ve ever wondered how all of this connects to your current chapter…
we tie it back to solar returns and the energy of your year ahead.
