Question about Retrogrades-dear friends

[Guest guest]

dear friends

 

Retrogression of planets is an interesting phenomena. Retrogression

basically implies that the person is looking backwards. I am a living

example of a person who has prominent retrograde planets.

 

For me lagna lord i retrograde and is in the fifth huose. what does

that mean. it means i think a lot abt my behaviour, my aptitudes,

tend to be lost in thoughts most of the times. this is also the eason

why instead of giving examples of some other person, i am givng mine

(laughs).

 

Jupiter retrograde means that guru has cursed me in my past life. for

me guru is with ketu. thus me a guru-chandala would always try to

oppose the current stream of things.

 

Added to my current woes of introversion is the retrogression of

saturn. Saturn is for me the 3nd and third lord. as 2nd lord is

retrograde that too in the 8th house, it means that my talk wuold be

misunderstood many a times. saturn aspects the 5th house where

mr.jupiter is posited. thus you can clearly see a picnic of

misunderstandings. saturn and jupiter retrograde may give me

opportunities to rectify my errors or sins. But i would like to

reiterate that i would not compromise on principles.

partha
