Interview with astrologer Gregory Rozek about retrograde planets. Mary English, astrologer from England (UK) interviews Gregory for the episode 181 of her "Learn Astrology with Mary English" podcast. Aimed as both a general introduction to the topic for the beginner/intermediate astrology learners, as well as introducing details and statistics that generally don't get shared: how to quickly eye on how many retrogrades a chart has, why planets go retrograde, how to understand aand interpret them, the rich meaning of original Ancient Greek term ἀναποδισμός (anapismos) and the actual meaning of the not so meaningfull word "retrograde", what it means if an astrological chart has no retrograde planets vs many retrograde planets, example of a chart with maximum number of retrograde charts and what kind of life that gives, and finally using retrograde planets in timing techniques: annual profections, transits and progressions, and how to use retrogrades in horary (the astrology of casting chart for specific questions).
Few words on transits in 2020 when we have a lot of retrograde planets, and how to know what to focus in the reading, by combining your profections and periods when planets go retrograde.

I do astrological readings. To have an astrological interpretation of your birth chart by me, visit my website or just shoot me an email at [email protected]
I work mainly with ancient astrology (a.k.a. Greco-Roman or Hellenistic astrology), putting a lot of focus on mainly 7 classical planets, whole-sign houses, Fortune (Tyche) and Spirit (Daimon), annual profections interpreted together with solar returns and other timelords (sign of the year and lord of the year, aphesis or zodiacal releasing from Fortune and Spirit, synodic planetary years, ascension time for signs, and retrograde planets).
