Implications of Moon Retrograde and its Solutions
Moon Retrograde: From an astrological perspective, the Moon is associated with emotions, peace of mind, and emotional well-being. It describes how we think and function with emotions and how we relate to others emotionally. When the Moon goes retrograde or weakens in a person’s chart, it causes the emotional experience to regress inward, which creates moodiness, confusion, or a sense of disconnection from surroundings.
What does Moon retrograde mean?
The Moon doesn’t actually retrograde astronomically, but when it is weak or exhibiting as a retrograde planet in astrology, it has a strong impact on the way a person feels mentally. For instance, a person can ponder small issues and have sensitivity on minor matters. They may struggle to articulate their emotions or trust other people easily with emotional matters.
