Planet Retrograde
In astrology, a planet is said to be in retrograde motion when it appears to be moving backwards in the sky. This is an optical illusion and does not mean that the planet is actually moving backwards. Retrograde periods can be seen as opportunities for thinking and reflecting on oneself. The energy of the retrograding planets may be perceived as being more inward-looking during this time.
