Has anyone ever seen a chart with 4 planets retrograde before?

Mercury Aries 24°14' R

Jupiter Sagittarius 4°33' R

Uranus Libra 10°26' R

Neptune Sagittarius 2°22' R

Pluto Virgo 27°24' R

What tickles me most is :

Venus Aries 5°28' is NOT retrograde

What does this mean and why?

I know someone with 7 retrogrades in their chart, but then again a couple are in the really minor planets like node and lillith which apparently are always in retrograde

That's 5....and most cancers, leos, virgos, libs and sco have 3 retrogrades, cause Ura Nept Pluto go retrograde in spring, and direct in autumn, more or less. EVERY YEAR. All the other planets go retro regularly. It's a 50/50 chance almost.

Maybe it means you're more feminine. I have 5 or 6 retros, l'm pretty intellectual and intuitive for a guy...no a fat macho bastard.
