Retrograde planet also known as Vakri Graha simply means the planet is moving backwards in the Zodaic.Therefore the question asked is do planets actually move backwards, and the answer is that it is just from our point of view it appears like the planet is moving in the opposite direction, like when the planets are at the bends. All planets including the luminaries Sun and Moon move direct. On the other hand Rahu and Ketu which are not physical energies but mathematical points of energy and also known as the nodes of the Moon are always moving backwards or in retrograde motion.
RAHU/KETU- Always moves retrograde, they never move direct. In your astrological chart you will see Rahu and Ketu , it is understood that they are in retrograde motion. This is applicable for every single chart on this planet. Sun and Moon never go retrograde.
