Comments on Retrogression from http://srigaruda.com

 

Dear Sharat, Namaskar.

1. Transit during the time of birth constitutes the birthchart and the

motions of the planet during birth are indeed taken very much into

account, especially when you read the chapter on strengths in BPHS. If

you are referring to the transit motions AFTER birth, then yes its very

important to know if a planet gets retrograde or stationary.

Do this: Find in the sky when a person goes stationary before

retrogression. Find the navamsa-sign in which the planet does this. See

this sign in your natal chart to know the effects.

Example: A person with Leo Lagna had Jupiter in fifth house -

sagittarius. The problem in the particular chart was that Jupiter was

removing a curse in the natal chart and thus the blessings of Jupiter

were vital for the person.

When Saturn turned retrograde in Cancer Rasi - Sagittarius navamsa the

person was suddenly blocked in their professional pursuits due to

government action and had a tough time for the following period.

So motions are vital in timing events.

But this ascribes to only five planets, for the remaining four (viz.

sun, moon and the two nodes). For the remaining we have eclipses ;-).

 

2. a. Case: Taurus lagna, with Sa and Ju, both retrograde, both

in 9th H, thus Sa is in its own sign and Ju is debilitated.

Neecha bhanga yoga only happens in kendra to lagna or moon.

Only from lagna can we use gemstones, whilst from moon we need mantras.

Assume this was Aries lagna then. Then yes the wearing of a blue

sapphire would have the purpose of taking Jupiter out of debility, but

this should be worn on the left hand to ensure that the dur-bhagya of

Shani doesn’t affect the the ninth lordship negatively.

2. b. Mercury does bad things in bad company, but he isn’t a

malefic. I.e. Mercury joined Rahu can show kids experimenting with

drugs or the likes in their school because of their ‘association’. But

the kid is good and can do good. Now, if Mercury is retrograde in his

own sign, then because he is a benefic by nature he can do extremely

good if in kendra or trikona, in the sense that he will be OVER giving

towards others. A great teacher of yoga is born from this. However, if

this same Mercury is joined or opposite malefics (aspect) then when

influenced by his ‘friends’ he can be three times as worse than he

normally is…ouch.

Sun is not a malefic for dharma, but such a person can be very cruel

with his/her words.

I have a friend with Jupiter retrograde in a kendra. He studies

Jyotish and does his UTMOST for his clients. He would give them an

unusual amount of remedies and end up paying for their pujas, to the

extent that it started depleting his bank account severely… A big

giver, but left with little to feed his own family - this is why

retrogression denies the mahapurusha yoga.

 

Yours sincerely,
