Retrograde motion? We are just passing Mars on the inside track as we speed around the Sun on a much shorter radius.
Planets closer in have to travel in their orbits at a much different speed just to keep from being drawn into the Sun. Something about conservation of energy and the sum of the vectors acting upon the object.

That was a great show last fall. We had enough clear nights to follow Venus and Mars through the whole retro motion.
