i have venus and neptune in retrograde and they trine each other. i know that when a planet is in retrograde, it only looks like it is moving backwards (correct me if i wrong please), but have no clue as to what the effect it has on the planet, sign, aspects, etc. can someone please clue me in?

I think of retrograde planets as planets in a sign where we have experienced them previously in other lifetimes. In this lifetime we "step back for a wider/better view. There are many reasons to repeat experience in this way. It could be to learn more about that planet in that sign, or it could be a matter of remembering past experience because it is relevant to this life . . .
I have written a book on retrogrades from this perspective, called "Retrogrades and Consciousness." If you are interested, it is available from me and/or my website, listed below.

...retrograde planets are best understood from a magnetic perspective, from an energy point of view, and their activity is best understood conceptually as a time dynamic. direct planets are electrical, and they cause energy to charge and move; retrograde planets are magnetic and draw energy into the chart...

I got this quote from an excellent book called Chiron: Rainbow Bridge Between the Inner and Outer Planets by Barbara Hand Clow.

`Who are you?' said the Caterpillar. This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, `I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.'
