WHAT EXACTLY DOES MERCURY IN RETROGRADE MEAN?

It’s when all the planets in our Solar System travel around the Sun in a regular round orbits. They never stop, back up or go the other way. But from looking at it, as perspective on Earth, it looks like they do.

Imagine that you are driving down through the middle of a circular multi lane highway, orbiting a central point and your car is Earth, the other cars on the highway are traveling in different lanes, at different speeds . But those cars don’t ever stop or back up and neither does yours. At times you will pass one and that car can appear to slow down, go backwards past you, now our perspective on Earth, looking at those other planets, they will sometimes appear to slow down and then turn backwards for a little while and then they slow down again, going forward, and then pick up speed again. That is what you call “retrograde in motion.”
