Astrology With Magick

[Aaron Belcher]

Hi all I've been reading and following the power meditations on the site for some time now. I do have a question involving the astrological timing of workings. On the site it states that planet retrograde is the best time to perform a working against someone. For instance Jupiter retrograde for love. What exactly does that mean? I know retrograde is when the planet appears to be moving backwards from a visual stand point. But astrologicley what does that mean? Does it mean Jupiter in retrograde whenever or retrograde in the targets appropriate sign? Back to the example of love, as mentioned on the JoS, couldn't one just wait until Venus is retrograde in the sign from their natal chart? I've been reading up and still very confused about this. Any help would be appreciated.
