Retrograde motion is motion in the direction opposite to the movement of something else and the contrary of direct or prograde motion. This motion can be the orbit of one body about another body or about some other point, or the rotation of a single body about its axis, or other phenomena such as precession or nutation of the axis. In reference to celestial systems, retrograde motion usually means motion which is contrary to the rotation of the primary, that is, the object which forms the system's hub.
In the Solar System, all of the planets and most of the other objects that orbit the Sun, with the exception of many comets, do so in the "prograde" direction, i.e. the same sense as the rotation of the Sun. Also the rotations of most planets are prograde, with the exceptions of Venus and Uranus, which have retrograde rotations. Most satellites of planets revolve around their planets in the prograde sense. (In the case of the satellites of Uranus, this means they revolve in the same sense as Uranus's rotation, which is retrograde relative to the Sun.) There are some satellites which orbit in the retrograde sense, but these are generally small and distant from their planets, except for Neptune's satellite Triton, which is large and close. It is thought that these retrograde satellites, including Triton, are bodies which have been captured into orbit around their planets, having been formed elsewhere.
This video surveys observations, historical theories, use of a mechanical demonstration, and compares the apparent motion for all superior planets of the motion.
The planets normally move from west to east against the background of the stars, but every so often they backtrack for a while before resuming their eastward motion. This is called Retrograde Motion. The Starwaders Retrograde Motion model makes it easy to understand this phenomenon which puzzled the ancients when they still believed that the Earth was at the centre of the solar system and the entire universe.
Why do planets occasionally move backward in the night sky? This video explains the phenomena known as retrograde motion. Music: Made of Words, The Talos Principle OST
Superior planets (planets that are further from the Sun than Earth) can undergo retrograde motion when they are near opposition (the point in the sky that is opposite the Sun). Mars in particular has an opposition about every two years and so makes a retrograde loop every two years as well. Mars will next be at opposition at the end of January, 2010.
Explanation of models of the solar system and apparent retrograde motion of planets
This short animation sequence, created using "Cartes du Ciel", shows the retrograde motion which can be observed as the planets ("wandering stars") move relative to the "fixed" stars. The sequence is set to show the position of several planets, with a "snapshot" taken each sidereal day (approx 23h 56min).

How do you move forward from Mercury Retrograde feeling clearer, stronger and more ready?
Planets appear to move in a retrograde motion from the Earth's point of view. We demonstrate why the planets appear to move in a retrograde motion using a diagram and an animation of the motion of the planet. Also interesting is that the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune change from direct motion to retrograde motion at particular angular distances from the Sun, as follows: Jupiter: 120 degrees (1/3 of a circle) Saturn: 108 degrees: (3/10 of a circle) Uranus: 103 degrees (2/7 of a circle) Neptune: 102 degrees (2/7 of a circle) We look at information produced by the Sirius 2.0 software that confirms these observations.
