$o yes, Its not about moing backward only only,, )etrogression has many meaning and hae many suspense in it, een eeryone is not so capable to define $ood of the planets if they are retro!rade% because retro!rade% because this is something uncertain and endless -
0es tr trus ustt me me,, &e &etr tro! o!ra rade de pl plan anet ets s co come mes s wi with th ma many ny un une' e'pe pect cted ed su surp rpri rise ses s in th the e horoscope,, and planets act in ery une'pected and unusual way, horoscope way , which is really totally beyond understanding sometime, and things happen #ust in "uite reerse and 1/-logical way -
But before describing retrogression effect of planet, i would like tell, each planet in the horoscope&whether planets are exalted, debilitated, occupied enemy sign or friendly sign, or in retrograde situation and sitting in any house' , either signifies something good or something bad, or we can say each position of planet in horoscope indicate certain eent of our life, through their placement in horoscope either planets wants to gie you something or will snatch eerything or something, but its all depends on our past life deeds, because past life deeds are only foundation of our horoscope%
Now the main thing is , "What is this reverse game of the planets" or does it really a kind of -
Guys, if we merely counting retrogression effect in human life so trust me, as per my practical obseration its not a least about moing backwards or any kind of reerse effect, &etro!ression is simply affectin! the mood of planet (r you can say like way of e'pressin! the ener!y of retro!rade planet is uite different then the normal planet) , because life of the person doesn!t moe backward &like old a!e to towards childhood) when planet goes into retrogression position, its #ust create some unexpected drama &But not in each case', $o the normal things which we simply expecting from the normal planetary placement in certain sign, house or /akshtra, that effect doesn!t come in simple manner, hence if any planet is in retrograde situation means that planet is not going to gie you the same result as it gies in normal position, $o retrogression of any planet simply signifies -
As i wrote above retrograde planets do not give good or bad directly as normal planets do, hence predicting through retrograde planets are quite confusing. But don't worry i will tell you very easy procedure to judge retrograde planets and how to predict their effect, but before that lets discuss few imp points about retrogression. As we know our entire life is based on our previous life karma !eeds", and we can understand our previous life karma by our horoscope using astrology, because each planet has been mapped in our horoscope as per our previous life deeds and like every human being, each planet has two nature as one is internal another is e#ternal and retrogression is just affecting internal nature of planets to create the drama $
%nternal and e#ternal qualities are always different and both have its own importance, &ence retrogression is changing the way of giving results which is closely affects internal qualities of the planets and these changes are visible in to persons life hat's what the actual drama".
(ee basically persons born with retro planets are also a human being, and retro planet doesn't affect physical personality even if, retro planet is sitting in )agna house, hence don't be scared when you see retro planets in your horoscope, each person born with retro planets is like others peoples, they don't have scary reverse face, dirty mouth, or having any e#tra part in physical body, (o retrogression is not about any e#ternal or physically defect, its something which is affecting internally -
Retrograde motion is just blocking the e#ternal influence of planet, and these blockages affect internal situation of the person greatly as these blockage makes the persons focus on developing their internal strengths associated with the retrograde planet, this process is like a hardcore teaching and troublesome little bit*++ 2here are so many articles are aailable on internet about retrogression, because its really a "uite long and difficult theory to understand and all experts has gien so many concepts to understand retrogression and the nature of retrograde planets, Howeer the "uite interesting fact about retrograde planets is "*ven after applyin! all the concepts you cant predict +,, - accurate mood of retro!rade planets" $o you can say when three or more planets goes into retrogression there is something which is always almost unpredictable& Astrology can predict but astrologers can!t'% Basically each planet &3en in normal position' is enough capable to change your life in any direction, and eeryone during his or her life facing seeral changes in life but presence of much retrograde planets in horoscope is simply a message from destiny is that -
As per the ancient text, $un and 4oon are neer retrograde, and nodes &)ahu and *etu' hae no physical existence in the galaxy hence known as $hadow planet, hence both the shadows are always gets denoted in retrograde motion in Vedic astrology, $o the main game of retrogression is applicable for fie 4aha 5urush 5lanets which are $ars% $ercury% .upiter % Venus and Saturn -
/ote 0 6uring my research I hae seen maximum 1our 4aha 5urush planets in retrogression, but i hae not seen any horoscope where 4ars, 4ercury, 7upiter, Venus, $aturn, all fie were in retrograde motion% Anyways let8s moe further I know if I hae told you that retrogression is all about changing the way of expression of planets, so you might be thinking -
As one point which i hae mentioned in most of my articles is that 95lease calculate planets impact on both the aspect of life9 , I mean to say impact of the planets in personal life as well asprofessional life, Because any planet which is harming your personal life can do good in your professional life&Any planet in any position cant gie negatie result in all area!s of life' , And in case of retrogression personal life of the person greatly suffer, $pecially drama of retrograde planets i hae seen in loe relationships and 4arried life%
Hence before telling anything further, the first "uestion which comes in my mind is "How to jud!e effect of retro!rade planets in horoscope" ::
$ee guys, As i wrote aboe, either planets wants to teach you karmic lesson or wants to gie you karmic rewards through their position, and retrogression is merely a part of that% +hen any planet become retrograde in horoscope so retrogression motion actually chan!in! the way of e'pressin! the ener!y of planets (you cant define the mood of planet so easily when its in retro!rade motion)2
+hen planets is in retrograde motion in the horoscope, so there are some ama;ing transformation in their "ualities and retrograde planets start act in ery uncertain, unusual, unexpected way and in horoscope planets are #ust expressing their energies in some different way then the normal planets &3nergy of occupied $ign, House, /akshtra etc' , and the person who is well aware about debilitation concept,
6o you know when any planet become debilitated in horoscope so as i wrote aboe its #ust act opposite to its natural nature and create obstacle because debilitation is #ust blocking the benefic result of that planet howeer if debilitated planet gets /eech bhanga, $o 5ower of neech bhanga puts the debilitated planet on right track again and helps debilitated planet to gie positie results, $ame happen with retrograde planet as any benefic influence on retrograde planet stopping them to create drama%%%%((( 4ets come back to the retro!ression part a!ain 0 $o any plant which is aspecting retrograde planet, >r in con#unction or in $ign 3xchange with retrograde planet, &etro!rade planet collects the power from these planets and amplifyin! itand expressing that all energies in its own way &but result may be good or bad that will depend on all the planets those are influencing that retrograde planet' % )etrograde planets gets higher cheasta bal, Hence when they also get support of other planets to expressing their energies, $o effect of retrograde planet always comes in full force, Hence if retrograde planets is rewarding the person so that reward will be huge but if giing pain, that too would be ery seere &which is also a nature of )ahu and *etu which are always retrograde in horoscope'% $o if anyone who is fully aware about debilitation concept of planets, and knows how to #udge )ahu and *etu in horoscope can predict through retrograde planet% I hope now you can understand why retrogression is typical theory and create unexpected drama%%%%%(((
/ow the next "uestion is - 3hy planet comes in retro!ression in horoscope ### $o answer is, =ike )ahu and *etu &+hich are always retrograde' retrogression is also deeply connected with past life, Hence if any one who has retrograde planet in horoscope which signifies"Somethin! has been carry forwarded from past life into present life (t may be Good or 5ad or 5oth)"%
As per the *armic 2ext, =ike )ahu and *etu retrograde planets are also known as *armic planets and come in the horoscope to teach past life lesson into present life and at certain time planets repeat the same drama or same situation like past life and will put you on that to face it and finish it%%%((( )etrograde planet signifies incomplete task of past life, the responsibilities which you could not finished in past life, the commitments which you could not finished in past life causes retrogression in horoscope, and specially any one who has three or four retrograde planets in horoscope is "uite clear indication that person has either left preious life incomplete or could not finished any responsibility of any area of preious life% =ets take an example to understand aboe karmic theory%%%%% 4aximum drama of retrograde planet i hae seen in $arital life as if any retrograde planet &Also include )ahu and *etu because they are also retrograde' is connected with ?th house or ?th lord in 60+ or 607 signifies drama in marital life (*ven sin!le aspect of any retro!rade planet in 8th house is enou!h capable to create drama in marital life)2 %%%=ets take an example Basically marriage is a commitment of whole life &In India its a commitment for seen births', Howeer if someone is breaking this commitment in middle, so #ust because of you, life of your spouse is greatly suffers and his or her entire life falls in reverse motion because they hae to start their life from the beginning again and also hae to face lot of issues and hardship to get that start%%%%$o that unfulfilled commitment and entire pain which he or she has faced due to reerse life, gets carry forwarded into your next birth as retrogression and creates the same drama into marital life into your present birth% 3en running away from any responsibilities is a curse and its known as incomplete task, Same thin! happenin! in love life also , If )ahu or *etu or any retrograde planet get connected with fifth house or fifth lord in 60+ or 607% 6rama happens in loe life for sure%%%%%because if you are in loe with someone for long time and your loe partner is deeply connected with you and got committed by you for marriage or for any long term relationship, but if you cheating your partner and breaking this relation which causing seere pain and emotional set backs for your partner and his or her life start moing back because they feel like lost in life, $o that all sufferings gets carry forwarded into your next birth and isible in your horoscope by placement of retrograde planet (Such people facin! delay marria!e issues alon! with little relationship drama due to connection of retro!rade planet in 8th house of horoscope) % /ote 0 =oe relation or marital issues are not only the area where retrograde planets are creating the drama, but there are lot more issues and affecting almost all areas, because i cant define your entire past life sins here, I hae #ust gien example of marriage life and loe
relationships only because these are the area where almost eeryone is sufferings due to presence of retrograde in horoscopes &$pecially females'% I know you might be thinking, if you hae got retrograde planets in your horoscope but if you don!t remember anything about past life then how to know which kind of promises or commitment you left incomplete in your past life or which kind of sins has been carry forwarded from past life into your horoscope:::
$o answer is, 5lease check which planet is retrograde in horoscope and in which house its sitting in%%% because planets si!nifies which kind of sins you have done in your past life and house si!nifies the area of error % =ike if Venus &for male' or 7upiter &or female' is considered as *araka for marriage and if they become retrograde and gets connected with ?th house or ?th lord create issues in marital life, $o planet signifies the errors howeer houses signifies the area of error, like if retrograde planet is connected with ?th house so sins could be related to marriage from past birth, if connected with @th house so it could be related to loe life, 3ducation, or fault related to your child, or if connected with .th house so it could be related to your profession &+here you hae cheated someone and that person has faced lot of sufferings due to this', if retro planet is connected with nd house signifies unresoled issues with family or incomplete family life in past birth, $o you can #udge like this way, and number of retrograde planets signifies number of sins or much failed commitments or responsibilities of past life% (o please understand the entire concept of retrogression because all drama is about past karmic deeds
I hope *armic theory is clear to you now, if not drop me an email &But don!t send consultation re"uest' otherwise your email will be ignored% /ow let9s see few horoscopes as an e'ample 0 :ase Study 0 +

"/o"% Howeer due to their retrogression motion they create much drama like other retrograde planets, but they gies huge rewards also but only if positie in horoscope% $ame applicable on other retrograde planets also, they don!t threat all time in all horoscopes, $ometime they signifies something else too -
I know, 3eryone &$pecially females' those hae retrograde planets in their horoscope always want to know whether retrograde planet going to kill them throughout life, or going to gie something good also% Because i hae seen people those hae born with two, three or more retrograde planets think like they hae born for sufferings only, and their horoscopes are worse, howeer its not like that, hence please read and analy;e your entire horoscope properly so that you can understand what your destiny wants from you%%%% And trust me the best way to #udge retrograde planets is to 7udge them in the same manner as you #udging nodes &)ahu and *etu' in horoscope, =et me clarify it more )ahu and *etu are #ust a $hadow planet and act as per depositor because they hae no shape and direction, and without support of other planets they cant act or you can say without depositor they are not capable to generate any result in horoscope, Howeer if you want to read about )ahu and *etu in 6etails so please :lick Here Howeer the same theory is also applicable to other retrograde planets, $o wheneer any planet become retrograde so its acts like a child which hae no direction or guidance, Hence they also need support of other planets to act, Hence apart from sign, /akshtra, House which retrograde planet occupy in horoscope, 2he planet who is in con#unction with retrograde planet or aspecting retrograde planet is primary important to decide result of retrograde planet, Because retrograde planet act like 0oga *araka if sitting with any 0oga *araka 5lanet, will act like a benefic if sitting or getting aspected by benefics, And will also act like malefic if sitting with 4alefic or getting aspected by them and will gie seeral issues &3en same nature )ahu and *etu hae', /ote> - +hen retrograde planet con#unct yoga *araka planet, in such case to get the yoga *araka effect, House placement of retrograde planet and yoga *araka planet &*endra houses are "uite good' is ery important, and then the planets which are influencing that con#unction of retro planet and yoga *araka planet needs to be #udge, $o oerall that con#unction should be free from any bad influences otherwise retrograde planet is enough capable to destroy of auspiciousness of 0oga *araka planet, $o please be careful and don!t #udge them blindly%%%%((( Because the planet which is influencing )etrograde planet either through con#unction or aspect is like a path teller to that retrograde planet, )etrograde planets are like an amplifier as they collect the energies from other planets those influencing them and amplifying it and expressing that energy in unexpected way%%%((( Howeer if no planet is aspecting or in con#unction with retrograde planet then the sign, house which retro planet occupies and the position of depositor is ital%%%%because in such case retrograde planet is act like they are their own boss and free to do anything good or bad%%%((( As per my personal obseration i hae seen that if entire horoscope is strong then retrogression is not affecting too much, But depositor of retrograde planet should be strong and benefic in the
horoscope to get the rewards from karmic retrograde planets, and among all the planet which create maximum drama in life is 9 Saturn9, Hence like if you want rewards from $aturn then $aturn placement is auspicious houses &$pecially *endra' are "uite important and if the same time depositor of the $aturn if strong and benefic as per ascendant and aspecting $aturn or if any benefic planet is influencing $aturn, so it can control $aturn and een can bless with great rewards &$ame concept is also applicable on other retrograde planets'%%%%(( If i hae to describe aboe theory in one line, $o benefic influence and positie placement of retrograde planets in horoscope signifies rewards also, howeer bad placement under malefic influence retrograde planet signifies much *armic lessons%%%((( Because remember millions are born with retrograde planets but eeryone is not suffering%%%((( I hope now you can understand and capable to #udge the game of retrograde planets in your horoscope%%(( /ow lets refer few celebs horoscope Shahrukh ?han

aailable for all planets oer internet, But trust me dear, 3ach retrograde planet in $pecific $ign, $pecific house, in $pecific /akshtra, 1nder influence of other planets will definitely generate different results which could be totally different and beyond expectations sometime, 2hat!s the main reason i don!t want to write retrogression effect for each planet #ust on basis of single parameter% Any way!s lest discuss another point which is "$ahadasha and @ransit of &etro!rade planet" Indeed 4ahadasha and Antardasha are "uite important discussion and matters a lot, But its a "uite big topic and i cant describe effect of each planet oer here hence i will to describe all about 4aha 6asha!s in separate article% Because 4aha 6asha and antar dasha is a time period when certain planets get opportunity to produce an eent as prescribed in your horoscope, and that eent gets actiated to transit%%%((( I hae seen peoples are making biggest fun of transit of retrogression planet, and almost scared from transit if they retrograde planet in their horoscope, But trust me dear almost .
