Why it is not all bad
Many astrologers see retrograde periods as a time to re- do things: review, revise, reconnect, repair and rest. Instead of starting brand-new projects, it may be a good time to finish old ones, tidy your inbox or contact someone you have lost touch with.
Practical tips for a calm retrograde
- Double-check details. Re-read important emails and confirm appointments. This is good advice at any time.
- Back up your files. A simple habit that saves a lot of stress.
- Leave extra time for travel. Delays are less annoying when you have planned for them.
- Listen carefully. Ask “Did I understand you correctly?” before reacting.
- Finish before you start. Clear out unfinished tasks.
