Due to another thread I've been reading about retrograde planets. I don't have any retrograde planets in my natal chart unless you count Chiron. So I've been trying to find out more about retrograde planets and secondary progressions. A few years back Jupiter turned retrograde. I'll eventually add Saturn sometime in my 30s and then after a couple more decades Pluto and Mars. Ha, I seem to be accumulating retrogrades as I get older and they will never disappear in my lifetime so I guess they mean deep permanant changes... I predict that I will be a cranky old woman
However, I just figured out I will never have a change in direction in Venus or Mercury - well unless I live to be about 90 years old and then Mercury goes retrograde. Which is a bit annoying because practically every single bit of information I can dig up on planets going retrograde in secondary progressions deals with Venus and Mercury.
Is it unusual for this to happen? Does it have a special meaning if Venus and Mercury never change direction i.e. remain direct my entire life in any of the secondary progressions?
