![]() ![]() When Venus is retrograde we might expect relationships with other people to operate on a more internal level. Transiting Mars retrograde inhibits direct action. ![]() Astrologers interpret transiting personal retrograde planets as more inner directed. The outer planets beyond Mars go into retrograde motion for about 5 months of every year. Venus is retrograde - like Mars - about every two years, but for only about six weeks. For Mars this type of motion occurs once every two years or so, and lasts about eight weeks. For the personal planets, Mercury, Venus and Mars, this happens rarely in terms of total duration. The retrograde stations of the outer planets, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, are especially powerful.Ī planet moves backwards through the Zodiac in its Geocentric position - as seen from the earth. It stays in orb of whatever aspect it is making - and conjunctions are particularly strong - far longer than it usually does. The moment when this happens is a time when the planet's energy is operating particularly powerfully, due to its lack of apparent motion. All the other planets can move in retrograde motion at times.Ī planet reaches its retrograde station when it begins to move backwards in the sky. The Sun and Moon are always in Direct motion. The distance in the sky a planet has traveled in retrograde motion. If you traced the route in the sky, the planet's path would make a large loop as it slowed down, came to a complete stop (retrograde station), began moving backwards in the sky (retrograde motion), slowed to a stop again (direct station), and then began again it's forward motion across the sky (direct motion). Because the Earth and other planets move around the Sun at different speeds, there are times when the apparent motion of a planet, as observed from Earth, seems to slow, stop, and move backwards. ![]() Below you will find information about the Apparent Motion of the Planetary Bodies. ![]()
