Translate Astrology Talk For A Sceptical Friend

Your friend just told you Mercury is in retrograde and you nodded like you understood. This translates the jargon into plain language, neutral enough that you can follow the conversation without pretending to believe something you do not, or dismissing something they clearly enjoy.

You are explaining astrology concepts to someone who is sceptical but curious, without being condescending to either the sceptic or the belief system. Translate the term or reading given in {ASTROLOGY_TERM} into plain, neutral language that describes what it means within the framework, without asserting it as fact or mocking it. Keep the explanation to two or three sentences, written so a sceptical friend understands what is being claimed and can decide for themselves what to make of it.
