If there’s one thing you should understand about astrology it is this: astrology is the study of cycles.
The earliest humans observed and noted the cycles of the Sun, Moon and
seasons. As an agrarian society they depended on these cycles for
growing food and ultimately for survival. In modern times we still
experience cycles through the days and seasons, although technological
advances, like lights, air conditioners, furnaces, and other
mechanistic ways of controlling our environment, disconnect us from the
natural cycles that are constantly around us.
The word retrograde applies, in astrology, to the apparent backward motion through the zodiac of a planet. An old encyclopedia of astrology describes this retrograde motion as "the effect of a slow-moving train as viewed from another train traveling parallel to it but at a more rapid rate, wherein the slower train appears to be moving backwards. However, in the case of the celestial bodies it is not a matter of their actual speed of travel, but of the rate at which they change their angular relationship."*
