Old Town have known about the planets, and they were able to look up. Some stars were brighter than the rest, and appears to move across the sky from night to night. These moving stars and planets were known, and there are 5: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. But the movements of the planets are disconcerting to ancient astronomers. Some times the planets slow down, go back and then go forward again. When a planet goes backwards, it is called retrograde and one of the best on this planet is Mercury. Let's examine Mercury retrograde.
In ancient times, people thought the Earth was the center of the universe and all objects in the night sky in orbit around us. One complication of this model was the one who had these very retrograde planets in their orbit predictable ways. If the planets were in orbit around the Earth, why would you go back? Why is Mercury retrograde? They developed elaborate models of the planets, which followed a spiral path around the Earth to account for this retrograde motion.
was not until Nicolaus Copernicus developed his sun-centered model of the Solar System the odd retrograde motion of Mercury and other planets finally make sense. The Earth is not just another planet, and all orbiting the Sun together. The retrograde motion of Mercury and other planets is due to our relative position in orbit.
So let's understand the retrograde Mercury and look back in particular. The movement of the planets around the Sun is the right of the rule. Keep your right hand into a fist and stick to the thumb. The direction the thumb points toward the north pole of the Sun The curve of the fingers indicates the direction of all the planets in orbit around the sun.
Mercury moves faster than the Earth as it travels around the Sun, however, Mercury has a very elliptical orbit, so the speed of change in its orbit. When Mercury is furthest from the Sun, is slower at the point of its orbit, and this gives the Earth a chance to "catch up". Imagine you're driving a car beside the highway which is the acceleration and deceleration. It's still coming down the highway at high speed, but seems to go backward and forward in comparison with you. That is Mercury retrograde.
Astrologers seem to think it is a retrograde bad luck or bad situation because it goes against a natural movements of the planet. Of course, the planet is not really a change in its movements, it is only our view that the planet is changing. In addition, at any given time, 40% of the outer planets are in retrograde motion anyway. Something almost always in retreat.
This link I shared on my Facebook account, CONSCIOUS of a comment a friend made in your profile, on the date when Mercury is in retrograde motion, when it was followed by many others that show great concern by the daily stage of this natural process. All the planets move and most broken, forward and backward (retrograde). But this is a champion becomes the exotic Mercury and how often in a bombastic show, but many humans do not allow the event so important to science and scientists, takes place in this world, but they have brought to our everyday low a figure almost bordering on fraud, among the things they say are things like: "while Mercury is retrograde, not to sign agreements, or in business, travel as little as possible, if necessary, lead a star (not really remember) so many tips ...." imagine, for example, two suspending nations signed bilateral trade agreement because Mercury is rotating in the opposite direction? imagine suspend the purchase of an asset that will bring positive impact to the stability of several individuals in a society, for that reason?
My call is and will always enjoy everything that gives us the population of celestial space, want to know in order to further contemplation, to respect the work of all those who make it possible to bare its mysteries but do not understand and wishing always, excellent and wonderful skies to all.
