We are officially in Retrograde Season which include this list!

ree
  • Jupiter (Cancer)

  • Uranus (Gemini)

  • Saturn (Pisces)

  • Neptune (Pisces)

  • Ceres (Pisces)

  • Chiron (Aries)

  • Eris (Aries)

  • Makemake (Libra region, depending on exact degree)

  • Mercury,  (Scorpio)

 

This creates a highly internal, karmic, introspective period for all signs. Retrogrades turn energy inward—review, correct, purge, and realign.

 

Below is a full energetic breakdown for each sign.

 

Aries  

Chiron + Eris retrograde in your sign. This is a deep identity recalibration. Old wounds, past betrayals, and anger you thought you resolved resurface—not to punish you but to liberate you. You’re stripping off outdated roles and returning to your purest essence. Saturn/Neptune retrograde in Pisces pushes you to heal subconscious patterns and old karmic grief.

Theme: Radical self-healing, karmic release, reclaiming power.

 

 

Taurus

Uranus retrograde behind you in Gemini slows external change and turns it inward. You’re rewriting your relationship with money, security, and personal stability. Saturn/Neptune in Pisces push you to evaluate friendships, community roles, and who truly supports your evolution.

Theme: Rebuilding internal security, re-evaluating your tribe.

 

Gemini

Uranus retrograde in your sign You’re experiencing a slow energetic awakening—inner truth explosions rather than outer events. Brilliant insights come through rest, silence, or sudden internal downloads. Jupiter retrograde in Cancer pushes you to rethink finances, self-worth, and how you receive abundance.

Theme: Identity reinvention, mental breakthroughs, new purpose emerging quietly.


Cancer

Jupiter retrograde in Cancer This is big. Expansion pauses so you can integrate what you’ve gained the past year. You’re redefining your dreams, boundaries, and what you truly desire emotionally and materially. Family patterns surface for healing.

Theme: Redefining your destiny, emotional expansion through introspection.

  

Leo

The retrogrades fall largely behind the scenes for you. Saturn/Neptune retrograde in Pisces highlight shared finances, intimacy, and psychological healing. This is your shadow-work cycle; what you avoid becomes louder.

Theme: Healing fears around vulnerability, money, and energetic entanglements.

 

Virgo

Most retrogrades activate your relationship axis. Saturn/Neptune in Pisces retrograde bring karmic lessons in partnerships—past-life connections, old patterns, and unfinished business. You’re renegotiating roles, commitments, and soulmate agreements.

Theme: Realignment of partnerships, clarity after confusion.

 

 

Libra

Makemake retrograde near your sign + Mercury and Mars near Sagittarius.

You are refining your work rhythms, health routines, and spiritual purpose. You may feel pulled to simplify everything, detox, reorganize, and rebuild from the foundation.

Theme: Rebuilding your system—body, schedule, environment.

 

 

Scorpio

Your New Moon energy is powerful, but the retrogrades influence identity, romance, and creativity.   You’re reconnecting with old passions, revisiting past relationships, or rediscovering forgotten talents.  With Mercury retrograde in your sign, this becomes a powerful period of inner purification and truth-seeking. Hidden emotions, old patterns, and unresolved connections rise to the surface so you can clear them once and for all. You may revisit past relationships or unfinished business, not to repeat them, but to understand what still holds energetic weight. Your intuition is exceptionally sharp now, revealing motives, truths, and insights you couldn’t access before. Combined with the Scorpio New Moon, this cycle resets your identity from the inside out, guiding you through emotional detox, psychic awakening, and the release of outdated versions of yourself. This is a rebirth stage, and it strengthens you for what comes next.

Theme: Rebirth of creativity, rediscovery of self-expression.

 

Sagittarius

With Mercury and Mars in your sign, but Jupiter retrograde in Cancer, this is not the time to push aggressively forward even if you feel the fire rising. Retrogrades pull your attention toward: Home and emotional foundations and ancestral healing. You’re reconstructing your inner world before outward expansion.

Theme: Internal stabilization before your next big leap.

 

Capricorn

Retrogrades activate communication, thinking, and karmic clearing in your daily interactions. You may revisit old contracts and past conversations, sibling dynamics and unfinished writing or teaching

Saturn/Neptune retrograde deepen spiritual clarity and intuition.

Theme: Mental detox, communication mastery, karmic rebalancing.

 

Aquarius

Pluto direct in Aquarius, but surrounded by retrograde planets elsewhere, puts you in a radical restructuring phase. Finances, self-worth, and energy-management systems are being reprogrammed. You’re learning how not to leak energy.

Theme: Financial karma, energetic sovereignty, stepping into embodied power.

 

Pisces

Saturn, Neptune, and Ceres retrograde in Pisces This is massive. Three retrogrades in your sign is a triple initiation. You are dissolving:

  • illusions and outdated spiritual beliefs

  • old karmic contracts and self-sacrifice patterns

This is your purification and rebirth cycle.

Theme: Spiritual rebirth, karmic clearing, deep awakening.

 

Overall Collective Themes

With so many retrogrades, the energy is:

  • Internal rather than external

  • Karmic rather than casual

  • Healing-focused rather than manifesting-focused

  • Integration-oriented rather than expansion-oriented


This is a soul recalibration season.
