The deal fell off, quarreled with the authorities, was late on the plane … In the near future (namely until June 22), he will be to blame for everything – retrograde Mercury. What kind of astrological phenomenon is this and whether it really is in our failures, we asked astrophysicist and psychologist.
Even those who are not very interested in astronomy heard about such a phenomenon as retrograde Mercury: when the planet begins to move in the opposite direction at a certain period of time. Today he is a popular scapegoat.
The machinations of retrograde Mercury, we recently often justify any of our failures. The last period when Mercury changed his direction not so long ago – May 30, 2021, and it will last until June 22, 2021.
What science says?
In fact, retrograde is a certain optical illusion: it only seems to us that the planet began to move in the opposite direction, in fact it does not change its speed or direction of movement.
“Imagine: you are driving along the highway by car, and aside the same highway passes from you, and another car is going on in your direction, and you are striving to get off with it,” explains Oleg Malkov, head of the star of star physics of stellar systemsInstitute of Astronomy of the Russian Academy of Sciences. – When you catch up with this machine, its movement becomes more and more slow, although its linear speed does not change. And at the moment when you overtake this machine, it may seem to you that it begins to move back – such a fraud of vision arises against the background of motionless objects that are located in the distance – pillars, trees.
Now imagine that these highways actually have the shape of rings. On each turnover, you catch up that car, overtake it, and the same thing happens in the next circle. Here’s what the retrograde movement https://qlinica.com.tr/ingresar-al-mundo-de-las-apuestas-deportivas-con-mostbet.html of planets in its orbit in the solar system is schematically.
Moreover, in reality, rings – orths not two, but eight, and the speed of each of the celestial bodies is different – it depends on the remoteness from the sun. Therefore, retrograde or reverse movement of different planets in astronomy is a trivial and quite frequent phenomenon. Not one Mercury is different from this “.
