While the wandering star were carried around the Earth on the deferent, the rotation of the epicycle brought the wandering stars closer to the earth and then carried it further from Earth. When further from Earth the movement caused by the epicycle and the deferent work together and allowing the wander move in one direction against the stars. In contrast, when the wandering stars are close to the Earth, the movement caused by the epicycle and the deferent are contrary to each other, this will cause the wander to slowdown, stop, and move in opposite direction of the deferent for a little
