Natal Mercury Retrograde
You see the world differently, usually through your mind. You have insecurities about what others think about you. You might have felt that your opinions are too bold or were afraid of rejection growing up. You might even overanalyze everything others say/do, sometimes misinterpreting them. This can also be true as vice versa, where you are misunderstood by others. Your early experiences may have been hazy yet vivid. You have a lot of creative talents, but you might feel inadequate to express them at first. You might have troubles starting projects/hobbies/endeavors, but once you take the first step, you are quite committed to your tasks. You might feel guilty when you feel unproductive or bored, you also spend a lot of time thinking about “where you want to go from here, what you want to do”, etc.
You might feel happy embracing your inner child (especially in your 20s) in the form of visiting your hometown, cherishing your childhood memories, indulging in hobbies/interests/research, etc. You might have a hard time letting go of memories for the same reason. Your intellectual capabilities are often heightened due to your ever curious nature, even if you didn’t show much interest in studies during your childhood. You might sound intellectual and sometimes devoid of emotions to others, but that’s only because you try to intellectualize your thoughts & feelings. Self-doubt can be a big hindrance, but with age & maturity you can conquer your fears & insecurities. Your concentration power can also increase with age, especially when you’re working/learning about something that piques your interests.
Natal Venus Retrograde
Your ability to express compassion and love were limited in your childhood. You might have felt unworthy of love or luxury in some way, this could easily be the opposite case too, where you felt entitled or greedy about money and favors. You might have problems in estimating your own worth and so, also that of others. You might even feel that you are not good enough, in some way, either physically or financially to live a peaceful life, so you might have poor personal boundaries in relationships which can cause huge problems. Or you might show superficial affection, stay in relationships for personal gain, etc. In both cases however, you feel you lack something or the other, so you might feel undeserving of consistency in efforts from/for others, especially in close-personal relationships.
