Answer
Dear Cee B,

Thank you for coming to me with your question.

There are many different opinions out there regarding the meaning of retrograde planets.  I personally do not believe that they are necessarily inauspicious.  If you are currently having difficulties, and have been having them for a while, it is more likely that you are under some heavy transits right now. Since I do not have your time, place, and date of birth, I cannot say more on this matter, but I do want to reassure you that your retrograde planets are probably not the cause of your problems.  In fact, a very large percentage of the general population has retrograde outer planets (Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto), so interpretively, they may have little significance as far as the present topic is concerned.

If you would like for me to look at your chart, please send me your complete birth data (date, time, and place of birth), and I will be happy to have a look at your transits.

Kind regards,
Shanda
