The movements and cycles of retrograde planets are based solely on the apparent movement of the Sun through the zodiac. This geocentric approach can indeed be described as egocentric. This book presents the astrological phenomenon of retrogradation within the system of the Sun and planets and describes the interpretations for the retrograde planetary phases in the natal chart, in progression, and in transit. It is one of the first books in astrology to focus exclusively on retrogradation. The author, Erin Sullivan, has lifted the veil of myths, secrets, and misconceptions surrounding the geocentric phenomenon of retrogradation and has crafted a clear and understandable picture of this important astrological phenomenon. In this groundbreaking work, she examines both the physical interplay between the planets and the Sun, as well as ancient sources and texts, and composes a modern psychological and mundane interpretation of retrograde planets from the insights gained.
