About this ebook

The planets play a key role in astrology – from revealing aspects of your personality to exerting their influence upon different areas of your life – thanks to their movements in the sky. But what do we really understand about these cosmic powerhouses?

How To Thrive in Retrograde helps you navigate the twists and turns of life, get a deeper understanding of who you are, why you need to know how the planets work, what they represent and the impact of each retrograde upon your birth sign. This book is a simple guide that demystifies astrology jargon by clearly highlighting each planet’s influence, and what it means when they move “backwards”, or retrograde, in your birth sign.

Includes:

  • Retrograde: what it is and what it means
  • Planet profiles, retrograde planets and your star sign
  • How to work with the planets in retrograde
  • Your own “planets in retrograde" diary

Whether you’re interested in astrology, have a little know-how, or you’re a complete beginner, this book will help you work with the planets so that you can live your best life. With handy hints to tune into cosmic energy, a retrograde diary to plan for the highs and lows, along with a selection of self-care rituals tailored to each birth sign, this book will show you how to live in harmony with the planets.
