Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Dear Gurujans First of all I would like to say that I am novice to both astrology and astronomy. In the recent months, I have started to try to understand this great science of astrology and astronomy. I understand that both are inter-related to each other. Correct me if I am wrong. As far, I understand that certain planets retrogate in their motion for a period of time, as detailed in the Vedic astrology. That means that the planets do have a regular motion, stationary days and retrogade motion. Is there any reference about this retrograte motion of planets in the astronomy? or am I missing some thing here, conceptually. Please throw some light on this.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Dear Sridhar, The retrograde or stationary motion is as seen from earth. This occurs as there is a difference in speed of various planets and as their path are in different planes and have different distance from Sun. The planets do not actually become stationary or retrograde, they seem to be so. Jyotisha is based on observation of the motion of planets and hence the necessity to describe them as such. This description you will also find in astronomy when comments are regarding as seen from earth.
