As of November 12, 2023, there are three planets in retrograde: Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune. However, it is important to note that retrograde periods are not permanent and can change over time. Retrograde refers to the apparent backward motion of a planet in its orbit around the sun. Retrogrades are generally felt more within our individual experience, compared to the outer planets, which operate less. Retrogrades are thought to have an impact on an astrological level, and each planets retrograde period is associated with different meanings and effects.
