Retrograde status of Planets

[Guest guest]

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.

 

Regards

Sridhar
