If you’re asking yourself WHY would I want to get calendar notifications about the retrogrades!? The answer is: because retrograde periods are really powerful times to slow down, reflect, and reorient how we are approaching everything in our lives.
If we don’t make space to intentionally work with the energy, retrogrades can feel chaotic, disorienting, and like periods of “setback.” They can still feel hard when we work with them consciously, but it can feel more worth it because we are also seeing the growth and feeling the power behind what seems like nonsense at first.
The 2026 Retrograde Guide is an informational journal that offers:
explanations for the astrology of each retrograde in 2026
support and space for INTEGRATING this information by reflecting on how it relates to your life
writing prompts & creative activities and more! :-)

2026 is one of those years we’re going to look back on a decade from now say: Woah. Everything changed.
We are living through a massive swell in the collective tide of transformation. We are taking in so much news, every single day.
But information is only useful if you make the space to integrate it. No one can do that work for you. And at these big turning points in history, we are the archivists. We are documenting change, and we are actively co-creating it—how conscious that process is, is up to you.
Retrogrades are often feared as times of chaos, but I see them as essential astrological checkpoints. They are the “pause” button that invites us to move from autopilot mode to actively processing life from a new perspective.
Sometimes that invitation is a gentle nudge (a slow realization that something in your routine or relational landscape needs to shift) and sometimes it is a demand (glitches, sudden breakdowns, plot twists where it feels like the rug is being pulled out from under your feet).
To help you navigate all of this, I created The 2026 Retrograde Guide.
This isn’t a book of scary predictions or simple “do’s and don’ts.” It is a space for you to document your life through the lens of astrology. It includes:
A complete map of every retrograde in 2026.
Intentional journal prompts for each transit to help you feel your feelings and integrate your experiences to move forward more responsibly.
Space to archive your history—so that years from now, you can reach onto your bookshelf and remember exactly who you were becoming during this historic time.
Is this guide going to fix all of our problems? No. But it will give you a beautiful, supportive space to sit with yourself more honestly while the world changes rapidly, so you can show up more fully for yourself and others.
Let’s move into the retrogrades of the year with a pen in hand, curious spirits, and a plan to stay whole.
