Her real name is Marisol Vega.
But the world knows her as Luna Retrograde.
She was born in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where the desert sky feels close enough to touch. Her mother was a tarot reader who believed the moon ruled emotions. Her father was a mechanic who believed in hard evidence and early mornings.
Marisol grew up between mysticism and machinery.
At 9, she memorized moon phases.
At 13, she wrote songs about feeling “out of orbit.”
At 17, she fell in love for the first time — and learned how quickly things can reverse.
When she moved to Los Angeles at 20 to pursue music, she felt like her life was in retrograde — stalled, misunderstood, moving backward while everyone else surged forward.
But astrology taught her something:
- Retrograde isn’t regression.
- It’s reflection.
She renamed herself Luna Retrograde — not because she believed life was cursed, but because she understood that growth isn’t always forward.
Sometimes it circles back.
