Jupiter Retrograde

When a planet turns retrograde, it enters the retrograde zone and starts slowing down to the point where it lends the impression that it’s stationary. The movement of the planet follows an illusory backward direction, which has led to the coinage of the term ‘retrograde’. A planet turns retrograde when it comes closest to earth. The shortened distance and the relative difference in their speeds around the sun result in the illusion that the planet has slowed down to the point where it starts moving in the reverse.
