RETROGRADE PLANETS

The more planets that are retrograde, the more emphasis on the later years of life. The house(s) ruled by the retrograde planets indicate affairs that will occur later in life. For example, the marriage house, marriage or love can occur after 30. Also many retrograde planets can make one introverted and shy.

TheSUN and MOON are never retrograde.

MERCURY= sometimes slow in learning or understanding

VENUS= love comes later in life, sometimes a lack of interest here; shy

MARS= holding all the anger in. Seething inside, keeping emotions bottled up. Much worse if Mars is in Cancer, Libra, or Pisces.
The outer planets are generational influences, but are important in relation to putting a hold on the affairs of the houses they rule.
