Answer 1

What does it mean when a planet is retrograde in your natal chart?

When a planet is retrograde, the person’s developmental process that is associated with that planet often has some timidness or backwardness to it, but it also often has a particular sensitivity and depth to it. At least some of a natal planet’s energy is always directed toward outward expression, but when the planet is retrograde, part of its vitality is directed inward, away from the world. To a great extent, the person’s expression of that planet develops away from the influence of society and social interaction, more independently from it than planets that are not retrograde. It’s as if that function is spooked into hiding, wary of how the world will treat it if it came out into the open.The planet expresses itself more quietly, but it could still express itself powerfully.

Answer 2

IWould help if I knew your chart. Basically if a planet is retrograde - helps to know which one you want to know about - that planet is waiting to come to fruition at a certain period in your life. Just as an example, maybe you have mercury retrograde in your natal chart. The year is turns direct you may finally start to speak up for yourself. What house it's in and what house it rules gives an indication as to what that will be, what area it will affect. Also an indication of an important tie with a sibling, and what happens to them. Other people during a mercury retrograde period will experience confusion, miscommunication, lost mail, etc. But you won't. Phone's ringing, gotta go.

Notes on retrogrades

Usually the planetary energies flow outward “in the pursuit of” the various energies represented by the planets. But with retrograde planets the energies are turned back inward on the person & no longer is the fulfillment of this planetary pursuit to be found “out there” but within ourselves, contrary to what we may observe in others having the same planets direct.
