Actually there is a rule that allows for the nominalization of an adjective when the noun in the compound expression is dropped. Hence, "in retrograde motion" becomes "in retrograde" where "retrograde" is a nominal element (a "nominalized" adj) and so it's pretty grammatical.

Hope your Virgo Moon feels better.

Romance languages

I studied Italian for 6 years. When I was in Disney EPCOT a couple of years ago, I completed my entire transaction at EPCOT Italy in Italian. The beverage stand people were so impressed. And I was incredibly intoxicated.

I'm excited! I'm just worried that my Sagittarius Rising foot-in-mouth tendencies are going to get me in trouble while enjoying soju night. I suppose I can try to play the clueless foreigner card.

I told you I'm confused with this retrograde. My language is indeed Latin based, but we were conquered by all the surrounding nations, so it's a medley of languages.

The Slavic influences on this language are especially noticeable and can be observed at all linguistic levels: lexis, phonetics, morphology and syntax.[citation needed] About 14% of the words are of Slavic origin.[citation needed] This is due to the migration of Slavic tribes who traversed the territory of present-day country during the early evolution of the language.

The first time I went to Italy, I surprised myself and my husband, as I was speaking almost fluently. I grew up with italian television, but other than that, never had classes. I'm sure that my grammar is awful, though
