Phases
Pre-shadow: the planet moves forward into the degrees it will later retrace. Station: the planet appears to stand still as it changes direction; on this page, one day either side of the turning moment. Retrograde: the planet appears to move backward. Post-shadow: after turning direct, until it returns to the degree where the retrograde began. The shadow is a modern technique; it is shown only for the fast planets (Mercury, Venus and Mars).
Times are for Istanbul. Mercury, Venus and Mars are given to the minute; other planets to the day, because the turning moment of slow planets can shift by minutes depending on the planetary model.
When planets appear to move backward: shadow, station and retrograde phases, with signs.
