Guest guest Posted December 2, 2001 Report Share Posted December 2, 2001 Hello! I want to know two things specifically: 1. In my chart, the ascendant lord Mercury (virgo asc) is retrograde in Gemini, 1 degree away from the Sun. 2. In my son's chart, the lord of 5 and 8 (Jupiter - he's a Leo asc) is retrograde in Pisces. What exactly do these two retrograde planets signify vis-a-vis the effects of the tenth and eighth houses? Regards, Ramapriya hubli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2001 Report Share Posted December 4, 2001 Dear Visti, Y'know, it was in a way good that you answered my earlier post about retrograde planets the way you did; gives me an opportunity to tell you that I'm greatly fascinated by this whole business of retrogrades. Sadly, in all the books of Raman that I have, there's nothing more than a passing reference to such planets, apart from where he's explained chesta bala in "Graha And Bhava Balas". Almost nowhere has he paid special or particular reference to retrogrades. I expected to find a nice, chunky section regarding these in BPHS, but that wasn't to be either, except when planetary strengths are discussed. I recently went and bought a slim book on retrograde planets by a lady western astrologer, but she's used the book more as a vehicle to disparage vedic astrologers and their ideas on western astro than writing intelligibly on the main subject matter. So overall, that book wasn't any great shakes either. But I did find a useful little PDF file containing discussions between Sanjay, Narasimha and others. This was the main reason for my earlier post, Visti.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2001 Report Share Posted December 4, 2001 Vyam Vysadevaya Namaha! ---------------------- Dear Ramapriya, The Luminaries are always direct. The Planets differ between retrogade and direct. The Nodes are always Retrogade(using mean nodes). So now we have a scheme to go by! Try reading BPHS, Sloka 9-4. Theres a reference to retrogades in case of judging Aristha Yogas. See the difference of when the Benefic is direct and when its retrogade. Among the Nodes, Rahu is the one with eyes. Rahu indicates the desires that have remained from past birth.. Past Birth is the key to understanding retrogades. Now its your turn. Best wishes, Visti. - Ramapriya D vedic astrology Tuesday, December 04, 2001 9:38 AM Re: [vedic astrology] A question of retrogrades Dear Visti,Y'know, it was in a way good that you answered myearlier post about retrograde planets the way you did;gives me an opportunity to tell you that I'm greatlyfascinated by this whole business of retrogrades.Sadly, in all the books of Raman that I have, there'snothing more than a passing reference to such planets,apart from where he's explained chesta bala in "GrahaAnd Bhava Balas".
