How do I find my natal retrograde planets?

Hello all! I'm still relatively a newbie to astrology, but eager to learn more.

I read about planets retrograde in the natal chart. How do I figure out if my planets are retrograde and which ones? Does this mean they were retrograde when I was born? Is there a function on astro.com or do I look up planets for my date of birth?

Thanks a bunch!

If any of your planets are retro, there will

be a little "r" next to it on your chart.

Thanks! Dur seems like a no brainer in retrospect. 😛

So I checked and I have 1 retrograde planet...Jupiter. Outer planet but also my almuten figuris chart ruler.

My actual rising lord is sun, but I was told almuten was important. So hrm what does it mean when your co-chart ruler is retrograde? Blooming slowly/late in mid-age? Seems accurate hahaha.

What I found on JUPITER RETROGRADE:
Jupiter retrograde gives one a sense of inner fulfillment, peace, and contentment. When retrograde, Jupiter turns inwards. Taken all by itself, Jupiter retrograde is not as much concerned with the material aspects of life. These people [unless there are other contradictory influences in the chart], are more concerned with spiritual comfort and peace of mind and soul. They often seek out spiritual knowledge on their own and have their own beliefs, instead of being indoctrinated by others. They can think for themselves, and they often look for their spiritual answers from within, rather than accepting religious dogma. In addition, one or more of the areas ruled by the house in which Jupiter retrograde is posited, along with the houses with Sagittarius and Pisces on the cusps can sometimes experience delays or other problems.

Natal Jupiter Retrograde
* has doubts about what they deserve and so ...
* finds it easy to settle for crumbs
* feels superior in some way inside
* abundance is felt on the inside
* looks inside for answers to religious questions

Jupiter represents the principles of expansion, gambling, speculation, luck, opportunities, optimism, abundance, travel, higher education, teaching, religion and philosophy. Approximately four months a year, this planet slips into retrograde. When it does, you are likely to see its influence roll through your life and society around you. Plans have a tendency to implode. Jupiter retrograde influences us internally to look within to seek new meanings. You may find you can best use these opportunities to revaluate your life and reach new levels of awareness and understanding.

Abundance is felt within as you search the world looking to discover truth and develop a broader philosophy of life and living. At the same time, you may feel hesitant about involving yourself too deeply in others affairs or sharing your views out of a concern for being thought so different that you may be cast out by public opinion. Speculations may not bring you all the external rewards you seek, but each time you take a chance, your adventures allow you to gain from a wide variety of experiences. You must remain open and honest with yourself in order to expand your spirituality and allow your inner voice to guide you.

Natal Retrograde Jupiter can cause you to encounter one impediment after another in your search for

Contd:
Natal Retrograde Jupiter can cause you to encounter one impediment after another in your search for understanding and positive experiences, especially in early life. Positive abilities, talents, attributes and skills tend to come later in life. Higher education is prone to be delayed, if it comes at all. One of the beneficial aspects of this placement, is that you are more likely to be introspective, which assists in the development of higher spiritual ideals.

Retrograde means the planet is slower and therefore the characteristics of the retrograde planet are hidden or they play out in an introverted manner.

This is how we all started learning.

I've got Jupiter retrograde too woo

Woo, indeed. 🙂

Doesn't sound altogether bad.

Plus Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto 😛

Jupiter R in 8th can bring delays in matters around legal issues, insurance and settlements. They do have the ability to rescue and transform their partner??s finances. They have a strong interest in metaphysical subjects.

Uranus R in the 9th can produce problems with orthodox religions and traditional educational programs. They need to find their own innovative way in these areas. They can thrive upon activist activities and reform in politics.

Neptune R in the 9th is looking for utopian ideas for living on this planet. Since there aren't any, they get disillusioned a lot. They can even become cynical. Utopia cannot be found in a place. This is another addictive position.

(Pluto's on my descendant)

Pluto in the 6th will be very intense in their work. They cannot handle interruptions. This can cause alienation with co-workers.
?? These people work best alone.
?? Not team players generally.

Pluto in the 7th is a bit difficult to establish cooperation because the intensity is so strong that the loner tendencies do not function well sharing the life with another person.

That's a load of Taurus right there

I also found a few sources saying that north node is almost always retrograde

For Chiron:
Chiron is the planet of the wounded healer. Natal Chiron retrograde indicates that this is a time to discover previously unrecognized abilities. Often, the most beaten down parts of ourselves are actually our greatest strengths. However, they've never been developed or cultivated and remain in that wounded, beaten down state. This lack of growth somewhere in our lives is now holding us back. It's time to let these wounds heal, to let go of old grudges, to wake up to how powerful we can be if we cease being a "victim". Chiron is an initiator, helping us break through to possibilities undreamed of. However, we must be willing to take the initiative, consciously stepping out of life-as-usual.

Wow my retrograde planets are:
Mercury in 4th
