retrograde natal planets

hi everyone, just a quick question.i have 6 retrograde planets in my natal chart (my DOB is 23/05/84, sydney,australia) i just read on another website this is a pretty rare occurence as there has only been 55 days in the past 100 years where this can happen.do retrograde planets really affect peoples lives very much? also i have had chronic fatigue syndrome for past 9 yrs can there be any connection to illnesses starting or ending in transits to your chart? would be very grateful for any help. fiona Tweet
