When a planet is "in retrograde"; it appears to be moving backward in the night sky. Of course, it's not actually moving backward; that';s just an optical illusion caused by planets orbiting the sun at different speeds. When one overtakes the other, it can look like the other is moving backward from our vantage point on Earth.
As for astrological implications, everyone complains about Mercury being in retrograde because it is serious bad news. According to astrology (which, I should note, is not real science), Mercury governs travel and communication, and when it’s in retrograde, you can expect problems in those areas—anything from a poorly worded email and slight flight delays to screaming matches and car crashes.
Mercury is in retrograde until March 9, so hold on until then.
"Retrograde" is a description of motion when something stops going forward
and starts going backward for a while.
The planets all appear to drift or wander through the stars, moving a little bit
through the stars from one night to the next. When a planet appears to stop
moving in the direction it's been going, and moves in the other direction for a
while, that's called the planet's retrograde motion.
Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn in retrograde can be observed without a telescope,
just by taking a look at where each one is every night.
Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto in retrograde can be observed, but it takes a
telescope because those planets are so dim.
Mercury and Venus don't do the retrograde thing at all.

Mercury has three - four retrograde periods each year. In 2016 Mercury is expected to go retrograde: January 5 to 25 April 28 to May 22 August 30 to September 22 December 19 to 31
Mercury and Venus are the two planets that retrograde motion around the sun.
If you mean "retrograde rotation", they are Venus and Uranus.
YES. There are several meanings to "retrograde" in astronomy. In this case, I am assuming you mean the apparent "backwards" orbital motion of a planet that is sometimes seen. This is very obvious in the case of Mars. Also, all the outer planets show this "apparent retrograde motion". It's easy to forget, but Mercury and Venus also show this behaviour, but in a slightly different way.

Yes, Mercury goes direct on September 29th, but the retrograde will not be fully over until October 18th.
