Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Om Nama Shivaya Dear Shri. Venkatesh: The planetary positions that I have given are based on tradition. Saturn is retrograde even in the chart I have provided as it is in the 7th position from Sun. So, it does not make much difference except that I have not mentioned that Saturn is retrograde. Regarding the position of Mercury, I do not know on what basis Shri. Sanjay Rath fixed the position of Mercury, but mine is based on tradition. I cannot give a firm opinion on this. Regarding the natal star, there can be no controversy at all because valmiki Ramayana clearly mentions "Nakshatre adithi daivatye" meaning which clearly means Punarvasu (the Deity for Punarvasu nakshatra is Adithi) and not Pushya (The Devata for Pushya is Brihaspati). I fail to understand why Shri. Sanjay Rath fixed the natal star as Pushya. Punarvasu is the star of Shri Rama as per accepted tradition also. You may have to write to Shri. Sanjay Rath directly for this clarification. Blessed be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Dear Dhakshinamoorthyji, Is Saturn always retrogade when in the 7th position from the Sun and if so why? I am sure I am asking a very basic question but truly I am ignorant of this fact. thank you blessings Renunw vedic astrology, "dakshinastrologer" <dakshinastrologer> wrote: > > Om Nama Shivaya > > Dear Shri.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Dear Renuji: All planets except the nodes (which are anyway moving in opposite direction to othe planets) and Moon, will be in retrograde motion when are traversing between 120 degrees and 240 degrees approximately from the Sun, i.e. the planets will start their retrograde motion when they are in 5th sign from the Sun and become direct when they move to the 9th sign from the Sun. The dates of beginning retrograde motin and the date of becoming direct will depend on the angular seperation (degrees between the Sun and the planet). So, sometimes you will see a planet is not retrograde inspite of the fact it is in the 5th house from the Sun. Similary, a planet may not be direct even if it is in the 9th house from the Sun. But, when these planets traverse the intermediate signs, 6, 7, and 8th signs from the Sun, they will be in retrograde motion. I repeat, there can be no retrograde motion of the Moon. All said, it must be remembered that retrograde motion or otherwise is not factual; it is the perceptible motion with respect to the fixed stars in the sky as viewed from our earth. The planets do not travel backward at all! The subject of astrology is based on these symbologies! Blessed be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
