There's nothing wrong with going back the way you came. It often happens during a Mercury retrograde. But if you were to return to something you just left wouldn't that be considered backsliding, self-sabotaging, or worse: desperate? There's only one way to find out and that's to travel back over the ground you just covered. Either you will reconfirm everything you knew to be true (nothing wrong with that) or discover something you overlooked the first time. And if that were to happen, isn't it better to know so you can fix things instead of continuing down a path you don't want to be on?
