I subscribe to the idea of first fixing yourself on the inside before trying to make any heavy changes to your situation on the outside
Shael, working on one's natal chart, fixing the houses,
is from within, it's in the soul. Planets on bad degrees affecting the houses, this is in the soul, so I also work on these first before material things, as you said. The soul is like the chakras and also needs to be worked on and fixed. Which is why I've done the spiritual square to improve my houses, and then I did workings for material aspects if needed. The natal chart is not just outward/material, it's about the soul.
I do other methods for continuous work on my chakras (runes, God names, etc). I've been working on my chakras every single day for nearly a decade, and I can attest to the fact that the soul needs to be worked on too.

Do you know how can I nullify the negative aspects of some planets that happened to be retrograde when I was born.
Specifically I was born with retrograde Mercury, Neptune and Pluto.
I would appreciate any help very much.(Especially regarding Mercury)
Do workings specifically for the problem. MercuryRx: If you have problems with any of your senses, the Mercury square (or just mantra daily) will help, and/or freeing the soul working. If it's ideas and thoughts repeating too much, more void, perhaps Isa rune. Problems with learning, AIM mantra (aahh-eee-mmm), Kenaz or Mannaz for intelligence. Ansuz for self-expression if needed.
NeptuneRx: Manaz rune might be good for the inner confusion. Freeing the soul for drugs/alcohol if you have that problem, perhaps Nauthiz rune for escapism habits. Obsidian crystal will help with grounding and any prominent Neptune effects, but can be harsh, so go with mahogany or snowflake obsidian. There are other grounding crystals but I'm still learning about them (you can find Judy Hall's Crystal books in pdf online if you're interested or email me, I can send one, crystals really do affect us).
PlutoRx: freeing the soul for repression, Sun or Jupiter square to overcome aloofness/loner/introvert or Venus to be more social. Wunjo rune would be great for being able to connect with others.
Work on the most pressing problem first, don't try all these at the same time!
