Retrograde planets are often among the most misunderstood factors in the horoscope, and thus so is their interpretation. And while many people are familiar with the traits associated with retrograde Mercury, the importance of the other planets when retrograde deserves at least as much if not more attention. In this book, Helen Adams Garrett takes a more in-depth look at retrogrades, including their cycles, and their meaning in the signs and when in major or minor aspect to the Sun. She also discusses the differences and similarities of heliocentric and geocentric retrograde planets. Included are chapters devoted to the meaning of retrograde planets as they relate to health, and the significance of progressed and transiting retrograde planets.
