Source Code

Overview
Planetary Retrograde Periods supports planets from Mercury through Pluto and divides retrograde cycles into two distinct phases with a midpoint marker. The indicator highlights stationary turning points for retrograde, midpoint, and direct motion, and can project future retrograde periods ahead with customizable date labels. Settings allow users to adjust planet choices, lookahead bar counts, timezones, and display styling.
