"When a planet "goes retrograde" it gives the appearance of moving backward through the Zodiac. Naturally this is an optical illusion, but it has an effect nonetheless. Due to the angle from which we view it's orbit, it will appear to slow down, become stationary, then go in reverse. After a time (depending upon which planet it is), it will again slow down, become stationary and move forward. Mercury is the planet which does this several times a year, and is the one which often takes the blame for certain mishaps which occur under this influence. Mercury rules communication and this is where we most often see these "mishaps" happening. A frequent complaint about the influence of retrograde motion, is that the activities represented by the planet in question, often have to be repeated...the activities represented by the planet in question, often have to be repeated. Symbolically we see this occurring as the planet traces it's previous course, then comes back yet again covering the same territory."
