Guest guest Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Hi tarun and Others, here is an explanation of retrograde planets scientifically as I learnt in school Remember that. Earth’s orbit is elliptical. Also remember that all planets don’t move with the fast speed as of earth. So when earth moves in its elliptical orbit, some planets due to their slow speed or their larger than earth orbits appear to be retrograde or moving backwards, because earth has moved forward. Those planets are also moving forward, but since the position in the ellipse has changed, the conical angle that earth casts on the object changes e.g. Jupiter is transiting thru Sagittarius (say) It will take aapx 1 year for it to cross the sign. Let us assume it has just begun journey in Sagittarius. Now when earth has moved forward the angle between earth and Jupiter changes such that it appears as if it were in Scorpio. so we say Jupiter has retrograded to Scorpio. Now when earth will move further forward the angle will change again and it will again appear to be in Sagittarius If you spend some time looking at the solar system and the orbits of planets-it will be clear. You can refer to any encyclopedia for this matter which has illustrated diagrams. Regards Suchitra Mail Mobile Take Mail with you! Check email on your mobile phone.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Hi, I know this is absolutely correct scientifically. But having said that we have to acknowledge the fact that, when the said planet is only appearing to be in the preceeding rashi,it effects differently. For example many who are running Jupiter mahadasa now, will know that many arears of their lives represented by the rashi in their chart are kinda stalled. This is quite a pronounced effect. If the retrogration is only due to earth's movement and not real, Can anyone throw some light on why it effects different astrologically?

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 I guess the answer willbe clear from the following example. There is a white ball.First you look at it fromred glass-it appears red.Then you look at it from blue glass-it appears blue. In reality the ball is neither red nor blue,but since you are looking from the glass you feel that effect.Don't forget when we speak of astrology we cannot forget maya.All this is maya. Let me make the 'effects' part clearer.Now instead of ball assumeyou are looking at sun- now if you look at the sun from an ordinary glass you will damage your eyes.However if you look from Xray film-you will be safe. I hope I made myself clear.
