What is the "R" in the tropical chart?

Meaning of R Next to House Placement in a Tropical Chart

In astrology, R next to a house placement indicates the house is in retrograde. Retrograde means the planet or house appears to move backward from our perspective, which can influence how its energies are expressed. It does not necessarily mean something is wrong but highlights a different way the planetary energy manifests.

Retrograde
Does it mean my communication would be affected negatively because retrograde seems like a negative aspect?

The energy is turned more inward than outward....it doesn't have to be negative if you learn to be aware of it

Hope this helps ~

"With Mercury retrograde, you have a hard time expressing your thoughts properly, so you feel misunderstood by others. You need to do a better job listening to others and build up some confidence so you’re not so afraid to speak up"
