According to March and McEvers, a retrograde planet's energy is directed inwards rather than outwards because the action of the planet isn't the same as it would be if it was direct. The actions associated with the retrograde planet are less overt and not as noticeable. Everything is directed in towards the person rather than outwards to the world and the environment.

Ha, I bought this theory without thinking about it first. I have all my planets direct as well but I'm an almost extreme introvert. Or can house placements alone override retrograde motion?IP: Logged |

Even if your planets are all direct in their motion: The overall chart shape, the placement of the planets in the 4 quadrants, aspect patterns, elements and qualities, planets in signs, planets in houses and interplanetary aspects will all play a role in whether or not you are introverted or extroverted.

get "karmic astrology: retrogrades and reincarnation" by martin schulman, it's the best! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0877283451/102-7547965-4459344?v=glance&n=283155
here's some of the reviews:
Retrograde planets are often difficult to understand or explain. Martin Schulman explains the vibrational energies of the retrograde planets as they travel through the various houses. It is very hard to interpret retrograde planets in a chart, particularly if you don't have any retrograde planets yourself. You will find that there is very little written about the interpretation of retrogrades and Schulman has done a very fine job of explaining the energy of this phenomenon in his book. Mr Schulman was the first astrologer that gave me a balanced understanding of my retrograde planets. I now feel a lot more comfortable with their effects in my life. He is very thorough and insightful about the the energies that they represent and how they should be used. I'd always read that they were a big burden for me to carry but I now know that they are indeed a gift for me to use in working on my karmic challenges.

Hi chrissymgreen,I agree with you. Martin Schulman's series of Karmic Astrology books are wonderfully written and very informative.
