When does a planet is said to be in retrograde motion?

A planet is said to be in retrograde motion when its apparent motion - the motion as seen by us, against the background stars - is from east to west.Planets spend more time in prograde motion, from west to east. The apparent movement of Sun and Moon against the background stars is also from west to east. Not to be confused with the daily motion, due to Earth's rotation.
