About planetary movement
Planets travel through the zodiac at very different speeds — the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars) sweep through quickly, while the outer ones (Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) anchor whole years or decades. Each transit colors the part of life that planet rules.
A retrograde happens when a planet appears to slow down and move backward from earth's vantage point. The themes of that planet — communication for Mercury, love for Venus — get a quiet review-and-revise pass: not stuck, just slowed.
