For example, a person with natal Mercury retrograde may become a deep thinker, while simultaneously having difficulty in expressing his ideas in a logical fashion. At the same time, the person may find it difficult to express the retrograde planet's basic nature in an outward, straightforward way. A retrograde planet can therefore be beneficial in encouraging people with natal retrogrades to be introspective. The core meaning of a retrograde planet is that its basic energies are turned inward. They are very common in horoscopes, to the point where they probably need no special interpretation, as so many people have them. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are retrograde for nearly half the year. Chiron is stationary 5.1%, and retrograde 39.7% of the time.Pluto roughly every 12 months for 5 to 6 months, 43.4% of the time.Neptune roughly every 12 months for 5 months and 6 days, 43.1% of the time.Uranus roughly every 12 months for about 5 months, 41.2% of the time.Saturn roughly every 12 1/2 months for about 4 1/2 months, 36.6% of the time.Jupiter roughly every 13 months for about 4 months, 30.4% of the time. ![]() Mars roughly every 26 months for 60 to 80 days, 9.5% of the time.Venus roughly every 18 months for 40 to 44 days, 7.3% of the time.Mercury 3 times a year for 3 weeks, 19.2% of the time.The planets have different periods of retrograde motion : In ephemerides planets in retrograde motion have an "R" printed next to them.īefore a planet changes its direction from either retrograde to direct or vice versa its motion becomes increasingly slower until it appears to come to a stop. This occurs when they form an opposition to the sun. Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, whose orbits all lie outside the earth's own orbit, appear to turn retrograde during periods in which the earth is moving more quickly than they are. Mercury and Venus, the only two planets which orbit the sun inside the earth's own orbit, are retrograde when they appear to be in front of the sun from a geocentric perspective (Their motion is direct when they are behind the sun.) Although Mercury and Venus appear to move faster than the sun, by turning retrograde periodically, they always stay within one or two signs of the sun. In astronomical reality, the planets do continue to move in the same direction, anticlockwise around the sun. This is simply a visual effect of the relative motions of the Earth and the planet.The sun and moon do not have this effect of backwards or retrograde motion, but the other planets all go through phases of retrograde motion, as viewed from the earth. The planets can appear to be retrograde when they move across the sky in the opposite direction to normal. In fact none of the planets ever have retrograde orbits. Another phenomenon is that the other inner planets, and most noticeably Mercury appear to have a retrograde orbit some of the time. Venus probably experienced major impacts from other bodies in its past which flipped it upside down. Venus is described as having an axial tilt of 1 7 7. In our solar system, Venus spins in the opposite direction to the other planets and so is retrograde. If a body is retrograde it must have had an encounter with another objects otherwise it would violate the law of conservation of momentum. The Sun and planets formed from that disk and spin in the same direction. The solar system was formed from a disk of material which was spinning. If a body orbits of spins in the opposite direction to the rest it is called retrograde. Explanation: Most planets orbit and spin in the same direction. Retrograde motion is/was important because it needs explaining. ![]()
