Whenever we experience personal planetary retrogrades, there’s a sluggish pace to life, and we face hurdles and obstacles upon our paths, Pisces. That is why it is never encouraged to start new relationships, make promises or plans, or consider the long term during these retrograde phases—those of Mercury, Venus, or Mars, since they are known as the “personal planets.” Luckily, all of our planets are currently direct at this time, so that means you have all of their power and strength on your side! Consider how you’d like to work toward manifesting love in the year to come and move forward swiftly toward those goals now. Move quickly, though; our personal planets are only all direct until October 3, 2026—the day Venus turns retrograde!
