Retrogression ? Can the effects be gauged perfectly ?

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

Following is an excerpt from a mail I posted on another

forum for those who may be interested.

 

Dear abc,

 

Everything is Maya here till one understands the

actual truth.

 

The Sun setting is a Maya for many who dont know

that the Sun is always there..

The Flat earth was a Maya till they understood

it is round.

You and me are Maya until we go up.

Pluto was a Maya uptil now till

they understood that it is not a Planet.

When we say that two planets are in conjunction

in same degrees, does not mean that they are

actually kissing each other.

Because when we watch from a point on earth

the angular distance makes them to be seen

together from here,whereas they may be millions of

Miles or Light Years away from each other. This

is Maya.

The 7 colours of the Rainbow may be Maya for us,

for actually there may be many more, but we will have

to reach the heavens to know the truth.

The space we know of as empty, may not be actually so,

there may be many worlds there in the Universe,

which may not be seen with our eyesthrough the mortal

body.. There may be many more Universes we may not

know of.

The 3 dimensions we know maybe Mayavic truth,whereas

there may be another dimension too which this physical

body may not be able to fathom, and which may be the

truth. There are hundreds of such truths we know as

truth, till we come to know what actually the

truth is. Till then, it is all Mayavic truth for us.

Remember truth is a relative term. For the person who has

never come out of a island in remote jungle, a tape

recording voice of a tiger growling may be truth to him,

that a tiger there nearby.

For a very great astrologer just watching a Natal chart

without degrees for few moments glance may bring out

the truth whereas for people like me , it may not come out

even with hundreds of statistical Data sheets taken out

of the Printer . The quotient is realisation. The more

realisation and intuition coupled

with studies one may have devoted to, the more nearer

to the truth would he be. In a Divine science like

astrology, it is very necessay and a boon for all of

us, that there are no single shot rules working for

cause and effect in reality. And rightly so, for

astrology is not meant to be in hands of every Harry,

Dick and Tom. There has to be a mixture, a synthesis of

rules, with proper study of Bhanga part of these, along

with the other requisites I mentioned above, for one

to predict. It cannot be everyones cup of tea.

 

Talking of retrogression, when we are travelling in

a train, sitting near the window, and when another

train passes speedily on the paralell track next to

ours, we feel sitting in our train, that our train

is actually going behind, when the truth is that it

is also moving forward, but slow in comparison to the

other train which we are watching. This is the same

state of retrogression of planets. All imaginary.

 

We can never be able to interpret retrogression

completely because there are various angles to each.

 

1) Retrograde Planet in The Kendras.

2) Retrograde Planet in evil Houses.

3) Retrograde planets as Lords of evil Houses.

4) Retrograde planets as benefic Lords

5) Retrograde planets in conjunction with

other retrograde planet.

6) Retrograde planet in conjunction with Exalted

Planet.

7) Retrograde Planet in conjunction with Debilitated

Planet.

8) Retrograde planet in own house.

9) Retrograde planet in inimical house.

10)Retrograde planet coming out of deblitation.

11)Retrograde planet moving towards exaltation.

12)Retrograde planet in 6,8,12th in Natal but in good

house in Navamsha chart.

 

I can write another 20 placements like above.

Can anyone possibly answer the results of all above?

Then there are 9 Planets and 12 houses.

How to contend with so many permutations and

combinations ? It is not possible humanely.

 

But individually answers can be sought and found.

Every astrologer has to search for his own

way and style of judgement which should be changeable

and flexible throughout his Life. Intuition has to be

developed, which would give the answer when one is

watching a chart. There can be no hard and fast

or rigid rules for retrogression. Everyone has to

find his own answer. Because there are contradictory

results written by various famous astrologers, so which

one to believe and which one to not ?

 

This has to be an individual decision.

 

Therefore we may be able to/ and we may not be able to

so far interpret retrogression completely. Depends on

individual to individual
