This term refers to the point where a planet changes direction to go from direct to retrograde, or from retrograde to direct. Similar to the way a pendulum swings one way, then slows down and pauses (becomes stationary or still briefly) before it changes direction, a planetary station is when a planet has slowed down and seems to become still, before it resumes its motion in the opposite direction. When a planet pauses and changes direction like this, it is called a Planetary Station. See also: Direct, Retrograde, Shadow (planetary). See also the article series on Retrograde Planets, including an article specifically on the Stations.
The points in a planet's retrograde cycle where it is standing still and hence concentrating its energies heavily on a single zodiacal position. Comes in 2 flavors, the retrograde station and the direct station. See also Retrograde Zone Info.
A planet is said to "make a station" at the degree it occupies when it appears motionless as its direction changes from direct to retrograde or vise versa.
PRX stations are noncommercial radio stations looking for new, diverse, and exceptional radio programming. Whether you are from a large news and information station in a top 30 market, or an eclectic community radio station in a small town, on the PRX you can find content to match the character of your station and its local presence.
