The term “retrograde” in astrology refers to the optical illusion created by the planets when they appear to gravitate slower in their orbit or move backwards in their orbit. According to astrologers, retrogrades stun some sector of our livesdepending on the planet that recedes.
Retrograde effects are stronger on the inner planets or closer to the Sun (Mercury, Venus, and Mars) than the outer planets, such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Not all negative, in fact, there are retrogrades that can be positive.
