When retrograde, for example Jupiter is thought to be good for having children, even if by other factors it may be weak. Retrograde is sometimes considered to reverse the energy of the planets. Planets when exalted, lose strength wehen retrograde, but those debiliated gain strength when retrograde. Retrograde has an internalizing effect on a planet's energy. If Mercury is retrograde, the intellect will be more introverted. The individual may be more interested in history or occult pursuits. When afflicted, this may cause nervousness or speech difficulties, or just hesitancy in communication. Retrograde planets often indicate a karmic result. They show an influence from the past. They may be functioning to fulfill some karmic debt or promise to clear up affairs from the past. The individual will not go forward with the influences of the planet, but must take them backwards or inwards to consolidate or limit them." >From Astrology Of The Seers, by David Frawley, pgs. 177-78 Hope this helps. best wishes, Lori ______________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
