I am but a novice astrologer and I was wondering what the thoughts of others are regarding this topic. For example if we would ignore the house, sign and all the aspects made to mercury in this instance. And just look at whether it's direct or retrograde.
let's say mercury is retrograde in the natal chart. Would any individual experience mercury retrograde differently as opposed to having it direct? This could apply to all the placements that wobble between retrograde and direct ofcourse. My reasoning behind this is that; minus + minus = plus. Within this specific context minus doesn't imply anything wrongful or negative ofcourse.
Thanks in advance
