Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 I understand from jyotish that retrogade planets became as if their were exalted, so that makes them very strong and positive! sandraDear Sandra:I've heard the same thing in Jyotish.However, my own experience is that the Planets are often found acting weirdly during theirperiods of Retrograde motion. And not necessarily like Planets that are retrograde.Take for example when Mercury goes retrograde.Almost everyone I've ever talked to experiences that all kinds of weird circumstances happen around Mercury's retrograde.Intuitively, I've found that the Intellect which is what Mercury represents, exhibits many features of dysfunction.People find themselves thinking weirdly, unclearly as all kinds of mistakes of intellectualdecision makings happens.In architects's offices, contracts are sent out with mistakes, machines break down andall manners of communications are " off " .Those experiences generally make people very suspicious and looking at Mercury retro-grade as not more Exalted Mercury but more like a debiltated Mercury.Other research has lead me to sumise that maybe what's happending with Retrogradeplanets reminds me of what happens when the Moon is found Waning.Traditionally, Jyotish Philosophy has suggested that people who are born with smallish orWaning Moons have a bankrupacy or weakness of mind or Moon.However, my research also shows that though this may be true on the surface, the realneed of such Moons is for a Moon self-development or a strengthening.Later I discovered that the Waning Moon cycle actually is a resting or healing period orcondition.Finally I began to think that Retrograde may also be a kind of resting stage or healing opportunity of the various Planets.In Mercury retrograde, Mercury is very similar to the Moon when it's in it's Waning or inward mode.Therefore, today I think that Retrograde are Planet in their various Resting or inward motions.Hope this helps.Mark Kincaidmarkkincaid (AT) (DOT) com escribió: hi friends, do expect fuzzy minds while mercury is in retrogression, that is why i did not get back to the list, on the rahu saturn issue...enjoy!!! rhodes Dear Rhodes: Yes, you're right, Mercury retrograde does have that influence. However, I believe that Mercury Retrograde, actually, any Planet's retrograde motion maybe something more like the Moon's Waning Cycle. Recently, the Moon's Waning cycle began to be looked at as a negative or undesirablepart of anyone's life. However, under closer examination, one can discover that the Waning Cycle is a very important cycle of rest which is the necessary prerequisite to the next Waxing cycle! So, like in the Daily rest & activity cycle which represents the inner mechanics of howlife progresses, each day through alternating steps of rest and activity; the Moon's Waningcycle too is a cycle of Monthly healing and rejuvenation. Like that, we may come to realize that the Retrograde motion is a rest cycle of each Planet. So, instead of Mercury Retrograde as being a negative maybe it's really nature's opportunity to rest and heal one's intellect. Because when any person stops resisting the Moon's Waning cycle and instead morewhole heartily embraces that resting tendency then the Moon's Waning can immmediatelybe more positive and even enjoyable. Like that I've found if I look at Retrograde motions as Nature's time to rest and rejuvenate that Planet then at least that may be a good way to better interpret these Retrograde situations.
