I respect your views. However, I think there is some truth. And I don’t think it just applies to romance. It can apply to everyday life. I’ve noticed things occur.
I respect yours too, but think about something.
How about when miscommunications happen and we're not in retrograde...what accounts for that (an unretro or residual period)? It doesn't make sense does it??
Or how about before we even knew that term: mercury retrograde and now how it applies to just about every mishap. Before we even knew what a retrograde was, were we thinking that something must be going around? Nah...just think about it.
