When the correction is greater than the motion, the result is retrograde (Vakra) motion.
Modern Technical Commentary:
Technical definition of Retrograde Motion. It occurs when the negative Sighra correction exceeds the planet's forward mean motion, causing it to appear as if it is moving backward against the stars from the observer's perspective.
