Retrograde
Retrograde is the period of time during which a planet appears to be moving backwards as viewed against the still background of the stars. This phenomenon is entirely due to our earthly perspective. In fact, the perceived retrograde motion of the planets is not real, it only appears so.
When they are retrograde, the planets are closest to Earth. Then they are in aspect with the Sun, as well as closest to the Earth and to the person, intensifying the impact on the personality.
Mercury goes retrograde approximately 3 times a year. It has the strongest effect on people who have a strong accent in the natal chart of the signs Gemini and Virgo.
