A planet without dates is retrograde for the whole month.
The shape of 2032
The busiest stretch. At most 4 planets are retrograde at the same time: Mercury, Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto, on Jul 21 – Aug 2 (and again Oct 19–25, Nov 2–22). Astrologers read a crowded retrograde sky as a period for review and repair across the board.
All planets direct. No planet is retrograde from Mar 1 to Mar 7 and from Mar 31 to May 15: the clear run of the year, which astrologers favour for launches and decisions that should not need a second pass.
The fast planets. Mercury turns retrograde three times (Mar 7, Jul 10, Nov 2). Venus is not retrograde. Mars is not retrograde. These are the retrogrades people tend to notice, because Mercury, Venus and Mars describe everyday matters: communication, relationships and drive.
The slow planets. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are each retrograde for four to five months of every year, so they work as background seasons. The days that stand out are their stations, when they stop and turn.
What retrograde means
No planet reverses. Retrograde motion is an apparent change of direction seen from Earth, the same effect as a slower car seeming to slide backwards when you overtake it. Astrologers read a retrograde as a review of what that planet stands for. The retrograde planets guide explains each one.
