Toward Ecosophy

No, but even without that you can learn to work with rather than against retrogrades. The trick here is to focus on things that begin with "re-" in English. For example, during Mercury retrogrades, I revise manuscripts, review older projects, research things I'll be writing about later on, and return emails (but don't originate many). When Jupiter is retrograde I review and revise my financial plans, and research new options, and so on. In my experience, at least, doing that leads to considerable benefits; the time spent during the retrograde then becomes the foundation for success once the planet gets going again.
