In astrology, a planetary retrograde refers to the apparent motion of a planet moving in a backward or westward direction as observed from the Earth. This phenomenon is an optical illusion caused by the relative positions and movements of the Earth, the planet in question, and the Sun.
During a retrograde period, a planet appears to move backwards in the sky and its energy is said to be “retrograde.” This can have different effects on individuals depending on the planet involved and its position in their natal chart. For example, when Mercury is in retrograde, it can bring about communication and technology issues, while a Mars retrograde can result in delays or obstacles in taking action.
Retrograde periods are considered to be a time of reflection and review, rather than a time for starting new projects or making important decisions.
