Example Response¶
{
"retrograde_effect": "While it's no secret that Leos love to be the center of attention, your worst fear is to be in front of a group of people and have something go wrong. Enter: Mercury retrograde. This can cause presentations to fizzle and meetings to get off track—all due to things that aren't even within your control. The teleconferencing signal gets lost, or your phone decides to reboot for no reason whatsoever. Contacts may also be lost, causing embarrassment when you need to get in touch with friends or colleagues. Back everything up and think through your plans thoroughly.",
