Here are\u00a0ALL\u00a0the 2026 retrogrades: planets and zodiac signs, dates and themes, to help you plan and avoid getting caught off-guard by the \u201cpower outages.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

When planets go \u201cbackward\u201d slowdowns and chaos can ensue.<\/strong> When a planet passes the Earth in its orbit around the Sun, it\u2019s said to be going retrograde<\/a>. From our vantage point on Earth, the planet appears to be on a reverse commute, backing up through the zodiac instead of advancing ahead degree by degree. While these aren\u2019t optimal times to start anything new, they can be powerful periods to review our progress and enjoy nostalgia.<\/p>\n

More than Mercury?<\/strong> Mercury retrograde gets a lot of attention in popular media and social media, since Mercury wreaks havoc on technology, communication and travel 3-4 times a year. But Mercury\u2019s not the only member of the retrograde brigade! With the exception of Venus and Mars,\u00a0ALL<\/em>\u00a0planets have retrograde cycles every year. Mars takes a retrograde break in 2026, but Venus does not; it\u2019s one of six planets that have a 2026 retrogrades (plus one comet!).<\/p>\n
