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 Sridharji, Its good that You are trying to understand astronomy too, because learning basic astronomy would always be extra gear with You and helpful while walking uphill in the study of astrology. In the sky the planets never retrograde actually. It is only as an observer from the Earth, it looks like the planet is stationary or retrograde. All above in the sky is moving. When we used to visit out of town with our mother in school holidays, remember we used to sit as children near the window seat in the train ? Whenever on the other track if a train was moving faster in the same direction in which our train was moving, then for a few moments we felt that our train was going back, which in fact was not, but just illusionary. In the same way, planets do not retrograde, but appear to us as observers on another plane ie.the earth. regards, Bhaskar. , " ashwin_062k " <ashwin_062k wrote: > > Dear Gurujans > > First of all I would like to say that I am novice to both astrology > and astronomy.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Dear Bhaskarji Thanks for the clarity and a good simple analogy you gave. I am clear now on this concept. Thanks once again.
