Retrograde planets all FAQ'S on retrograde planets

Retrograde planets,FAQ'S on retrograde planets

FAQ"S about retrograde planets.

Q.When is a planet called retrograde?
A. When a planet appears to be moving in the opposite direction as compared to its normal movement, it is called a retrograde planet. To understand this better we should look into the movements of planets. In Vedic Astrology, all astronomical observations are done considering the earth to be the reference point. This system of observation is called 'geocentric'. In any system of measurements, the reference point is considered stationary, though it may actually be moving. This may be likened to everyone's common experience while sitting in a moving train. If the train you are sitting in passes by another train which is moving in the same direction, but slower than your train, this other train seems to be moving backwards against the backdrop of distant trees. This is so because you consider yourself to be the reference point and hence stationary. Largely, a similar phenomenon takes place with the planets also, when they appear to be moving backwards. In our solar system, the planets are orbiting around the Sun with varying speeds. The earth is also doing likewise. Inner and outer planets: The planets that lie between the Sun and the earth are
called inner or inferior planets. These are Mercury and Venus. They can never go too far away from the Sun. Mercury can go a maximum of 27 degrees from the Sun and Venus cannot go beyond 47 degrees from the sun. These two planets retrograde when they are between the earth and the Sun. The planets whose orbits lie outside the orbit of the earth are called outer or superior planets. These are Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. The extra-Saturnine planets, i.e., Herschel Neptune, and Pluto are also in this very category. Outer planets retrograde when the earth is between the Sun and the planet.
Q. Ignorance about Mangala Dosha causes a lot of anxiety in many homes. It is justified?
A. Ignoring Mangala Dosha is also not right. Matching of horoscopes by a competent astrologer can have calamitous results in many cases. Mangala Dosha by itself is generally not so serious unless the 7th house, its lord and karaka have other severe afflictions too. Therefore, the entire horoscope must be scrutinized as a whole. After all, besides Mars, there are eight other planets in the horoscope which may also have some bearing (benefic or adverse) on the houses related to marital harmony. An isolated Mangala Dosha should not cause much concern. One is likely to find as many happy couples with Mangala Dosha as without it, in a real world.
Q. Do all planets become retrograde?
A. Except for the Sun and the Moon, all planets become retrograde once in a while. Since the Moon is essentially a satellite of the earth, its apparent and real movements are one and the same. Rahu and Ketu, which are not physical planets are always in retrograde motion.
Q. Can one spot a retrograde planet in a horoscope without it being specifically mentioned?
A. Since Mercury and Venus are always quite close to the Sun (as viewed from the earth) it is difficult to know from the chart alone when they are retrograde. But the outré planets are definitely retrograde when they are in the 6th, 7th or 8th house from the Sun. Sometimes they are retrograde even when they are in the 5th or 9th house from the Sun, but not always.
Q. Does a retrograde planet behave differently in predictive astrology as compared to a direct one?
A. The classics have vexed eloquent about the position (longitude) of a planet in the zodiac as far as predictive is concerned. That is the reason we have detailed descriptions of deepest points of exaltation, debilitation, own Rashi placements, and whatnot. But they are generally silent on the velocity of the planet. Velocity has two components, one is speed and the other is direction. On speed there is silence again, except when it becomes atichari; and on direction, there is very little to go by. A planet is termed atichari when it gains unusually fast motion immediately after it becomes direct.
Q. It does not seem possible that there is no reference to the velocity of planets in predictive astrology. Isn't astrology supposed to be dependent on astronomy which is essentially a study of the motion of planets?
A. Cognisance of the velocity of a planet has been taken only in Shadbala which is the actual strength of a planet arising out of six different sources. Out of these six sources, one is termed Cheshtabala. It can loosely be translated as 'attempt' or 'intent' of a planet due to its motion. A retrograde planet gets full 60 shashtiamshas as its Cheshtabala. All other states of motion get 45 or less. This strength is added to the strength of a planet derived through a host of other sources. Thus its relative importance is very low in Shadbala. Nevertheless, Venkatesha in Sarvatha Chintamani gives the results of the Dasha of retrograde planets, as under: The Sun and the Moon are never retrograde. Mars: During the dasha-antardasha of Mars in retrogression, the native will be full of fear and trouble from thieves, fire and snakes. He ay fall from the position held and may go to the forest, to live in solitude.
Mercury: In the Dasha of retrograde Mercury the native gets good luck, wife, son and wealth. He also gets to hear the sacred texts from Puranas and engages in acts of charity and bathes in the sea.
Jupiter: The Dasha of a retrograde Jupiter bestows on the native much wealth, wife, sons, victory in battles, friendship with the ruling elite and perfumes. He indulges in luxuries of speech.
Venus: During the Dasha of retrograde Venus the native gets much honour from the ruler. He gets vehicles fitted with excellent music systems, fine clothes and ornaments and ruling powers.
Saturn: Retrograde Saturn in its dashas causes failures in actions, frustrations in undertakings, sorrows and loss of brothers. These results should not be applied verbatim as they will be modified due to other factors present in a chart. But one thing is clear from these results that the author of Sarvartha Chintamani has made a sharp distinction between malefic and benefics, and they remain so even if they are retrograde in the natal chart. The view given above is that of one author. Another author, equally acclaimed, if not more, Shri Mantreshwara of Phaladeepika, offers a strikingly different opinion. According to him, a retrograde planet has the status of an exalted planet even if it is posited in an inimical sign - no distinction between malefic and benefic. This view may have some astronomical justification. The planet that is on the verge of becoming retrograde is almost stationary; and so is the case when it is about to become direct. To understand this better, one may imagine a child on a swing. When the swing is at its highest point, it is momentarily stationary, since it has to change the direction of its motion. Even in-between these extreme points, the planet is rather slow in motion as compared to its average speed. Thus it is possible for it to send
its radiations more strongly to the earth. This view that a retrograde planet acquires an element of strength and beneficence is supported by Amsayu method of calculation of longevity. In this method the age contributed by a retrograde planet is to be trebled. Such additions, or bharanas as they are called, are to be done only in the case of those planets which are either exalted or retrograde. However, our experience points out that the result of a retrograde planet is contrary to expectations, they are erratic, inconsistent and unpredictable. It may be so due to it native velocity. Predictive astrology seemingly assumes direct motion of planets and the results are based on this tacit assumption. But results become unexpected when this assumption is not true.
Q. Does it matter which sign the planet is retrograde in?
A. Yes, it ought to. There is a principle that states: a planet that is moving towards its sign of exaltation,(uchchabhilashi) acquires beneficence and the planet that has crossed its sign of exaltation and is now moving towards its sign of debilitation (neechabhilashi) sheds some of its power to do good. With this principle in mind, imagine a Jupiter retrograde in Leo and a Mars retrograde in Leo. As is obvious, though both the planets are posited in the sign of a friend, while Jupiter is moving towards its sign of exaltation, Cancer, Mars is moving towards its sign of debilitation. Another principle that must be borne in mind is that the retrograde planet is supposed to exert its influence from its preceding house also. Now take another example, that of Mercury and Venus, both getting retrograde in Virgo. While the exalted Mercury would be exerting its influence from Leo, a friendly Rashi, Venus which was already debilitated, will now be deemed to
be in Leo, its inimical Rashi. Therefore, which Rashi the planet is retrograde in, is an important consideration.
Q. What happens if a planet becomes retrograde when it is exalted or debilitated?
A. There is an opinion held by some astrologers that a retrograde planet if debilitated, acts like an exalted planet; and an exalted planet getting retrograde behaves like a debilitated planet. The genesis of this opinion probably lies in the fact that a retrograde planet does not behave as it is expected to. Therefore, results from the other extreme are attributed to it. However, this opinion is not universally accepted.
Q. Does it matter which house the planet is retrograde in?
A. Yes. Imagine a planet in the 9th house. This is one of the best placement. Now, if it is retrograde, it would be considered to be in the 8th house. This is one of the worst placements for a planet. Thus, a planet which was the bhagya-vidhata, now becomes the mrityu-data; the planet that was to determine the 'extent of luck' now has to determine the 'mode of death' Take another example, that of a retrograde benefic in the 5th house. It will exert influence from the 4th house also, thus covering a Kendra and a trikona both. It will also influence the houses that these planet aspects from both these positions. Thus, the influence of such a planet, particularly, if it is Jupiter, can change the total complexion of the chart. Yet another feature, this time of a retrograde malefic, takes effect when it is involved in causing a Paap-kartari yoga. Suppose, there is a malefic in the 12th house and a retrograde malefic in the 2nd house. Together they would breathe down the
the neck of the 1st house and asphyxiate it!
Q. Does a retrograde planet have any influence on the health issues of the native?
A. The results of a retrograde planet are definitely felt on the health and generally, these results are adverse. One of Parashar's dicta is that benefics in the kendras promote sound health. But experience suggests that a retrograde benefic is not capable of doing so. In fact, it would certainly cause some health problem appropriate to its significations during its dasha. Our scrutiny of retrograde planet's influence on the health of the native clearly confirms that even if a benefic Lagna lord is in the Lagna and is retrograde, it cannot protect the native from the disease peculiar to the planet. Malefic retrograde planets are, of course, worse. Moreover, the retrograde planet passes on its adverse influence to other planets by association or aspect.
The reader is referred to Chapter III of Subtleties of Medical Astrology by Dr K.S. Charak for a detailed exposition of this very important issue, with many examples.
Q. Can the retrogression be extended to Vargas (divisional charts) too?
A. Most of the rules of analyzing the Varga chats are the same as the birth chart, be these aspects, transit or Dasha. Therefore, one would expect no harm done if retrogression is applied on Varga charts too. An additional feature of retrogression that may have some relevance to varga charts is that retrogression is free from the controversy of ayanamsha. Retrogression and direct motion will take place at the same time irrespective of the choice of the ayanamsha. It is not the same as Vargas. With a different ayanamsha, the Varga position of a planet often changes. This means that predictive work is done based on a retrograde planet stands on surer footing as compared to other parameters.
Q. You have addressed yourself to the role of retrograde planets in a natal chart. How about their behaviour when they are retrograde in transit?
A. The predictive astrology has two major limbs to stand on. One is 'dasha' and the other is the 'transit'. A retrograde planet in transit may have a different meaning, though there may be some resonance between the natal retrograde planet and the same planet getting retrograde in transit. For example, a native who has his 6th lord Saturn (R) posited in Lagna has repeatedly suffered problems from one or the other employee whenever Saturn is retrograde in transit. During the retrogression, it has given him a lot of mental anxiety. Once the planet assumes direct motion, the problem evaporates, as if by magic. Please note that Saturn and 6th house both denote employees. Generally, retrograde planets cause a repeat activity or the decision is revoked, for the time being. Often the promotions or transfers stayed for some time. Once the retrogression is over, the concerned event moves ahead to its logical conclusion.
Q. What is the role of a retrograde planet in Prashna (Horary) or Varshaphala (Annual Progression) Charts?
A. Both the charts are essentially transit charts. The rules of their analysis resemble the Parashari system in many ways. But there are significant differences too, i.e., in aspects, yogas and dashas, etc. Both these charts in this respect are governed by Tajika Shastra. One of the most used yogas in Tajik is Ithasala yoga. If this yoga is present between the lagnesha and the karyesha (significator of the event in question), it is a favourable situation for the event. To appreciate the role of a retrograde planet in these charts, let us examine the Ithasala yoga. It literally means the yoga of 'intermixing'. The yoga is said to occur when:
1. The lagnesha and the karyesh aare in mutual aspect. (Tajik aspects are different from Parashari
aspects: the 3, 5, 9, 11 positions from each other are friendly aspects; 1, 4, 7 and 10 positions are
inimical aspects; the remaining 2, 12, 6, 8 positions are neutral to each other and, therefore, do not
constitute an aspect).
2. These two planets are within the orb in influence from each other. (The orb is deterined by the
average of deeptamshs of the two planets. The deeptamshas are: Sun 15, Moon 12, Mars 8,
Mercury 7, Jupiter 9, Venus 7 and Saturn 9 degrees).
3. The faster-moving planet is behind the slower moving planet. (Planets in order of decreasing
motions are: Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn). Retrogression has some
bearing on this third and the most important condition of the Ithasala yoga:
1. retrograde fast-moving planet at lesser longitude does not produce Ithasala yoga since its motion is in the opposite direction to that of the more advanced slow-moving planet. They are actually
moving away from each other, therefore, they are not likely to intermix.
2. The intensity of Ithasala is increased if the slow-moving planet is retrograde and has higher
longitude.
3. When both the lagnesha and the karyesha (or even one of them) are retrograde, debilitated,
combust or otherwise weak, another yoga takes over this yoga. It literally means 'cancellation' of
the Ithasala yoga. It is an unfavourable yoga and does not allow the event to fructify favourably.
Q. What are the results of benefic or malefic retrograde planets?
A. If in a Prashna or Varshaphala chart:
1. a benefit retrograde planet is a lord of an auspicious house and has a relationships with lagnesha
or karyesha, some repeat action is likely, e.g., an interview or promotion exercise will be repeated
and the result will be favourable.
2. The result will remain favourable even if the planet involved in a malefic one, but besides the repeat action, there would be obstacles and tensions.
3. If the benefic retrograde planet is a Trik lord, the favourable result becomes doubtful due to
problems and obstacles.
4. If a malefic retrograde planet is a Trik lord, then cancellation of the event takes place due to various impediments. Thus we see that the retrograde condition of the planet, whether in natal chart or transit has specific and strong repercussions on predictive astrology.

Moon the mind definition and glimpse as per astrology

Moon the mind.

Definition of mind in astrology we consider moon to be the mind but have you ever wondered what might be, As per Wikipedia the mind is the set of thinking faculties including cognitive aspects such as consciousness, imagination, perception, thinking, judgement, language and memory, as well as noncognitive aspects such as emotion. Under the scientific physicalist interpretation, the mind is housed at least in part in the brain. The primary competitors to the physicalist interpretations of the mind are idealism, substance dualism, and types of property dualism, and by some lights eliminative materialism and anomalous monism. There is a lengthy tradition in philosophy, religion, psychology, and cognitive science about what constitutes a mind and what are its distinguishing properties. One open question regarding the nature of the mind is the mind-body problem, which investigates the relation of the mind to the physical brain and nervous system. Older viewpoints included dualism and idealism, which considered the mind somehow non-physical. Modern views often centre around physicalism and functionalism, which hold that the mind is roughly identical with the brain or reducible to physical phenomena such as neuronal activity though dualism and idealism continue to have many supporters. Another question concerns which types of beings are capable of having minds (New Scientist 8 September 2018 p10). For example, whether the mind is exclusive to humans, possessed also by some or all animals, by all living things, whether it is a strictly definable characteristic at all, or whether the mind can also be a property of some types of human-made machines.[citation needed]

Whatever its nature, it is generally agreed that mind is that which enables a being to have subjective awareness and intentionality towards their environment, to perceive and respond to stimuli with some kind of agency, and to have consciousness, including thinking and feeling.

The concept of mind is understood in many different ways by many different cultural and religious traditions. Some see the mind as a property exclusive to humans whereas others ascribe properties of mind to non-living entities (e.g. panpsychism and animism), to animals and to deities. Some of the earliest recorded speculations linked mind (sometimes described as identical with soul or spirit) to theories concerning both life after death, and cosmological and natural order, for example in the doctrines of Zoroaster, the Buddha, Plato, Aristotle, and other ancient Greek, Indian and, later, Islamic and medieval European philosophers.

Important philosophers of mind include Plato, Patanjali, Descartes, Leibniz, Locke, Berkeley, Hume, Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Searle, Dennett, Fodor, Nagel, Chalmers, and Putnam. Psychologists such as Freud and James and computer scientists such as Turing developed influential theories about the nature of the mind. The possibility of nonbiological minds is explored in the field of artificial intelligence, which works closely in relation with cybernetics and information theory to understand the ways in which information processing by nonbiological machines is comparable or different to mental phenomena in the human mind.

The mind is also portrayed as the stream of consciousness where sense impressions and mental phenomena are constantly changing.
Have you wondered why transits are to be evaluated from the natal position of the moon , have you wondered why a badly placed moon, particularly in 8,6,12, is a Balaristha . Why the source of diseases are domains and significations arising out of Moon example fear, greed, emotions, expressions lead to erosion of faculties of mind thus effecting the overall response to stimuli effect, in response to all these emotions and expressions the response of bodily functions get obstructed or hindered thereby creating a space for diseases.

The Left and Right Body Parts in Medical Astrology .

Body parts as assigned to houses are based on the logic that is hinged on the fact that some organs do have right and left parts, other though being single organs like Brain and heart are also categorized by medical science mostly in two parts the left and right part of it. To accommodate this the 12 houses of the horoscope are arranged in such a way that one half of zodiac depicts the right side the other the left, talking about ears and eyes, the right ear is assigned a house 3 and left the 11th it seems to defy logic, but both these houses depict the element air and are part of a breathing process or talking about ayurvedic tridosha it represents the vata , the sense of hearing is attributed to Jupiter and of the two houses three and 11 Jupiter is the Karak Significator of 11th, therefore the inference. Another factor which goes in the favour of the systemic placement of ears in 3rd and 11th is that air is an essential element for the sense of hearing and it exists within the ether element again represented by planet Jupiter. When sound waves travel toward you, the first part of the process of hearing involves the ears. The sound waves enter the ear and the sensitive structures of the inner ear pick up the vibrations. These vibrations stimulate nerves and create a signal which contains the sound information, so the brain is the central organ here therefore and is signified by the first house or Lagna and the right year from 3rd and left from 11th seems logical anatomy of hearing process image as attached. The drekana or d3 chart clearly categorises these part based on a number of degrees of the Lagna each being of 10 degrees. The 0-10 degrees cover the face,10-20 neck to pelvis,20-30 degrees the organs below the pelvis. The body parts again are clearly categorised on the left and right parts Similarly both eyes as depicted in 2 and 12 of the horoscope both represent kapha dosha both these eyes draw the source of the image and its depiction from the fiery or pitta house of Lagna through alochoka pitta so Lagna or head has to be in between and common source of power and imagery. The heart as such is one organ yet it's divided into left and right ventricle and its assigned house no 5 though some texts particularly varahmir maintains 4th to represent the heart, the heart is the body,s centralised pump that pumps blood and oxygen to various organs, while the right ventricle pumps the blood from the right atrium into the lungs to pick up oxygen and remove carbon dioxide. The left atrium receives blood from the lungs. This blood is rich in oxygen. The left ventricle pumps the blood from the left atrium out to the body, supplying all organs with oxygen-rich blood. So going by 4/5 th imposition oh organ heart the left part of it will be depicted in 10th and 11th and it's so 11th is the veinous flow and exhalation of breath expelling out CO2 from the body its called vyana vata . The anatomy of circulation attached for the benefit of all. Continued -----------
