Let me First explain the Phenomenon of Retrogression before I take up the Article
Retrogression
To understand Retrograde planets is very essential in astrology. Retrograde planets in Western or English translation is a Planet moving backward. In Vedic Astrology it is called Vakram, which means moving in any direction , left, right, twisted or tilted.Retrograde planets are therefore unpredictable. Retrograde planet is like a Painting brush, which goes forward, backward and again forward thereby Highlighting that area.
The speed of the planet in the orbit around the Sun varies depending upon its distance from Sun. This is based on Keplers Second law of planetary motion by which the planet is Fastest at Perihelion, when it is nearest to Sun and slowest at aphelion, when it is Farthest. . This movement is direct in reality, but as viewed from Earth, in Geometric system which we follow the planets sometimes seem to be moving backwards or direct motion in their orbit.
The same can be compared and explained when 2 cars are moving in the same direction at a certain speed the same can be explained as follows,
1. When both the cars are at the same Speed they will look like Stationary with repect to each other
2. When the Speed of one of the car changes with respect to the other Car, one of the car will look like going backwards , though it will be moving forwards only.
For Retrogression Phenomena we have to consider for 2 Group of Planets
- The inferior and the inner group of Planets Mercury and Venus.
- The Superior and the Outer group of planets Mars, Jupiter and Saturn
- The normal motion of Rahu and Ketu is always retrograde and , when Stationary or in Direct motion Periods are of much concern.They are not physical entities and are Mathematically calculated sensitive points, hence this Phenomena applies to them when they are direct and are capable of turning the tables upside down. They are in Direct motion about 2 times a month
Mercury and Venus are inner planets and when ahead of Sun they become retrograde.
Mars, Jupiter and Saturn being the outer Planets become retrograde when they are in the 5th to the 8th house from Sun, and hence when they are in 120 to 240 degrees from Sun
This Phenomena is understood by the following Diagram
Before this let me give the Period of revolution or Sidereal period of Planets around the Sun
Mercury 87.96 days or 0.24 years
Venus 224.7 days or 0.62 years
Earth 365,256 days or 1.00 years
Mars 686.97 Days or 1.88 years
Jupiter 4332.59 or 11.86 years
Saturn 10759.23 days or 29.46 years
Since Mars will be retrograde and Fallen, it will be of more concern.
We know that the period of one Revolution of Mars around the Sun is 686.97 days as com pared to 365.25 days for the Earth and due to this Faster revolution of Earth, Mars in its motion, as seen against the backdrop of the celestial sphere appears to move backwards which is called a Retrograde motion. From the Points Marked c to e in the diagram above , Mars appears to be in Retrograde motion
The inner Planets on the other hand have much smaller sidereal periods, hence the phenomena is more complex to under stand in the diagram. Mercury can be maximum at 27 degrees from Sun and Venus maximum at 47 degrees . Due to their smaller sidereal periods these planets race past Sun and on getting ahead they go in Retrogression.
Mercury becomes retrograde when 15 to 27 degrees ahead of Sun and direct roughly when identical degrees behind Sun.
Venus becomes retrograde when it is between 27 to 47 degrees ahead of Sun and becomes direct when it is identical degrees behind Sun.
Understanding the Planets
Jupiter Malefic when Retrograde
Venus is powerful when Retrograde
Saturn Gains Strength when Retrograde
Mercury is Volatile when Retrograde
Mars gives the result of the previous deeds or previously done , when Retrograde
Sarvachintamani in the chapter 13-14 Planet in Retrogression
Mars There will be great fear from thiefs, fire , serpents, fire. The person may reside in forests and face repulsion , fall in position.
Mercury.The person gets wife , children, wealth, he engages himself in charities.
Jupiter The person becomes financially comfortable , gets wife and son and gets benefits from them, victory in war, close friendship with king and possesses decent goods and cloths and is saintly. He enjoys interesting talks.
Venus The person gets respects and gains from the rulers, he gets royal power and good post in the cabinet while moving accompanied by drums, he moves with conveyances, he wears colorful cloths, he owns ornaments.
SaturnTheperson gets disappointment in works and failures . He gets sorrow from Brothers and Money.
It has been observed that anger is another feature of retrograde planet
Retrograde Planets under affliction then Benefic cease to give the Benefic results and Malefic planets when under affliction give worst results
Planets in Retrogression when fall back in the Previous house are called Fallen planets and are worst and are most venemous like a snake Bite
It has been observed that Planets in one sign retrograde as below.
- Saturn retrogrades for 140 days and remains stationary 5 day before and after.
- Jupiter retrogrades 120 days is stationary 5 days before and after.
- Mars retrogrades for 80 days and is stationary 3 to 4 days before and after. Mars retrogrades once in two years when Squaring Sun
- Venus is retrograde for 42 days and is stationary approximately two days before and after.
- Mercury retrogrades for 24 days and is stationary one day before and after.Mercury retrogrades at least three times a year.
Retrogrades and Stationary Motions
Retrograde Planets can temporarily block the elements and create problems. The two most difficult retrogrades are Mercury and Saturn. Mercury as it happens so often and Saturn as it can transit over one point of the chart again and again; and create lots of problems. It is important to know retrogression of planets in a given year. The retrograde motion of your dasha ruler can change the direction of events. Retrogrades indicate a concentration of energy in the part of the zodiac where they are active. If you have planets in that area then they will have major impact. Retrogrades make life appear to be stuck in limbo, neither moving forward or backward. Saturn and Jupiter retrograde once a year and Mars and Venus one every two years.
| BHUTA | ELEMENT | PLANET |
| Aakash | Ether | Jupiter |
| Vayu | Air | Saturn, Rahu |
| Tejas | Fire | Mars, Sun, Ketu |
| Apas | Water | Venus, Moon |
| Prithvi | Earth | Mercury |
Stationary Planets
Planets switching from direct motion to retrogression or from retrogression to direct motion become nearly stationary over a period of time during the transition. Such planets seem to become very powerful and seem to trigger events related to the natal planetary positions touched by them by conjunction or aspect. Stationary transits of Jupiter, Mars and Saturn seem to be particularly important. We will study the impact of such transits in this article.
A stationary planet in quadrants or trines from lagna of a natal rasi/divisional chart seems to trigger good results related to the natal positions in that chart that are conjoined or aspected by it. A stationary planet in dusthanas from Lagna of a natal rasi/divisional chart seems to trigger bad results related to the natal positions in that chart that are conjoined or aspected by it.
Since the Transit of Mars and Saturn will be in the 8th house of the natural Zodiac and those individuals and Countires having Scorpio who have Scorpio in the Trik Bhavas will be influenced most , Similarly those who have Leo sign in the Trik Bhavas will also suffer..
When a Stationary Planet is also influenced by a Malefic and who is also retrograde will be worst.
A Benefic Stationary influenced by Retrograde Malefic is worst. Benefic planet loses its shine to give Protection or benefic results
A Malefic Stationary influenced by malefic will also be worst, Both in Conjunction will be still more Explosive
A Benefic in Stationary motion aspected by Benefics will enhance the qualities and give strong Benefic results and their significations of the Planet
A Benefic Stationary Planet is the best if not aspected by Malefics rather aspected by benefics will give the most wonderful results.
A Stationary Planet has the strength 3 times stronger than a normal Planet
When planets, especially Jupiter, Mars and Saturn, become stationary during transitions between direct motion and retrograde motion, they become focused and powerful to give results. The houses and natal planets touched by them by way of a conjunction or an aspect can be triggered and significant results can sprout.
2016 is a Year of Planets in Retrogression like the one in early 1980. Then Fallen Saturn was in Leo along with Mars , Jupiter and Rahu , Now we have after a cycle of 36 years all Planets in Retrogression Starting from 6th Jan. 2016 to 17th April 2016 and Mars will also be fallen from 18th June to 13th July 2016 in the Libra sign.
If the Benefic or the malefic Stationary Planet touches a planet in the chart of the native or the Foundation chart of the Country, it is liable to give the results accordingly as explained above and will be a sensitive period
In this context let me put down here the Sensitive Periods when Saturn went in Retrogression on the 14th March 2015 in Scorpio at 10.52 degrees Hence a period from 10th to 18th March Saturn was Stationary. Saturn became direct on the 2nd August 2015 in Scorpio at 4.13 degrees and hence the sensitive period was between 28th July to 6th August 2015. It was then in both the periods on the natal Ketu of the India Independence chart in the 7th house and over the Natal Ketu in the 8th house of Foundation chart of the Pakistan, The Period from 28th July to 6th August 2015 was more crucial since it was over the natal Ketu of 5.45 degrees and the same Transit Navamsha at the natal Ketu.
When Saturn was Stationary on the 6th August 2016 it aspected Jupiter, Mercury and Venus in close degrees and also aspected in Navamsha , this is a clear indication of close aspect and affliction to the 3 benefics with magnitude on the 23rd August 2015 Saturn also aspected the Dispositor of Jupiter at very close degrees and also in navamsha , Jupiter was also totally Combusted then , but being a Sunday the Stock market could not React. On the 24th August 2015 Termed as a Black day Moon was also with Saturn the Organiser of the Game Plan and the Market Plummeted by more than 1600 points in a single day. Read this Link “The stock market drop…by the numbers ” link http://money.cnn.com/2015/08/24/investing/stocks-market-crash-by-the-numbers/
See the Chart below
The above proves the Theory of the Malefic Stationary planet and also my Research Theory of Planetary cycles Article “Astrology Speaks Planetary Cycle Repeat Behaviour :World Economy in Death Spiral” link https://www.astrodocanil.com/2016/02/astrology-speaks…-in-death-spiral/ dated 8th Feb. 2016
Now Mars will activate this Point in Transit on the 29th Feb. 2016 till 9th March 2016, Hence a Period from 29th Feb. 2016 to 9th March 2016 will be a most sensitive Parameter for Both India and Pakistan . The worst is on the 9th March 2016 a Solar Eclipse is taking place worsens the situations , since Mars also aspects the Eclipse sign and Ketu in Transit., Since the Eclipse is Taking place in the 4/10 axis of the Foundation chart of India Earthquakes can sprout . Mars in the 7th house Transit terrorism, war like conditions in the Country . For Pakistan Mass happenings and Military Coup is also Possible as Predicted by me in my earlier articles on my webpage.
I am reproducing my predictions as per my article “Mars in Action , Jupiter Affliction and Saturn Stationary Boon or Bane” dated 14th July 2015 link https://www.astrodocanil.com/2015/07/mars-in-action-j…ary-boon-or-bane/ and Predictions Proved 100% on the Stock market for the Predictions regarding the Nosedive of Stock market on the 24th August 2015
Now as per the Paksha Kundali of the 31st July Read what I have written . I am reproducing the same here
Paksha Kundali of 31st July 2015 of 16-13 hrs.below.
The Lagna is Scorpio the 7th house of the India independence chart and the 5th house of the Hindu New Moon chart having Malefic Saturn Retrograde in Lagna . The Lagna is also in Gandantha and hence extremely bad for the Country as a whole and specifically Delhi since Delhi is also Ruled by Scorpio. The Lagna Lord is Placed in the 9th house which is the 3rd house of the India independence chart and the Lagna of the Hindu New moon chart and is extremely bad since it is with Sun in the 9th house of Religon. Maximum number of Planets which are influencing the 3/9 axis of the India Independence chart and the 1/7 axis of the Hindu new Moon chart is a Critical Parameter in this Fortnight . There are malefics in all the Watery signs , hence havoc due to Rains, Floods Tornodos, Cyclones Boarder Issues, Terrorism, Espoinage from Foreign Elements.
Saturn in the Lagna indicates Distress, Discontentment, Loss of work,sickness and Diseases placed in the 7th house of the India Independence chart is very unfavourable position for foreign affairs, and depression in Foreign Trade , in the 5th house of the Hindu New Moon chart there will be depression in the Entertainment industry and Trouble to Women and children.
The most sensitive Parameter in this Fortnight is Saturn Stationary in the Lagna aspecting the 3rd house, 7th and the 10th house , could give Results with force regarding the same, as Lord of the 7th and 8th house of the Hindu New Moon chart and Placed in the trine and as placed in the 7th house of the India Independence chart in the 7th house , since Stationary planet can focus its energies better and give some results with force . Saturn at this point will be aspecting Moon, Venus and Jupiter , The Aspect on Venus and Jupiter will be degreewise and Saturn will be very powerful to give the effects , since in the Independence chart it will be in the 7th house and as the 7th Lord of the Hindu New Moon chart aspecting its own house Capricorn. As a Disciplanarian aspecting the 9th house in the Independence chart some Strict measures regarding the Judiciary, Religon, Navy Etc. Afflicting Jupiter and Venus degree wise will not be good , Infact all the benefics will be aspected by Saturn will be a crucial factor.
Mercury will be aspected by Stationary Saturn on the 6th -7th August 2015 degreewise and Siginifications of Mercury will sprout with Force with 3 times Sensitivity and since Significator of Stock market , there may be a Stock market Crash after 6th August 2015 and Mercury joins Rahu in Virgo, since a Planet willonly give the significations when it reaches its sign Virgo. unfortunately Rahu is placed in Virgo and The combination is adverse for the Stock markets of the world
In a Nut shell, 3/9 and 1/7 axis of the Hindu new Moon and the Independence chart will be activated with strong Saturn when Stationary till 6th August 2015. The effects will be seen soon and till Saturn Remains in Scorpio till 28th Jan 2017.
Now Read this as per Times of India the News and other Media Reports like NDTV The Happenings on the 14th July 2015
As it happened: Chennai Super Kings, Rajasthan Royals suspended for 2 years
The 2 solar Eclipses taking place between 9th March 2016 and 1st Sept. 2016 and Mars and Saturn in Square Position from Nodes, and Lumanaries are explosive Parameters more so since Mars and Saturn will be activating the eclipse Points of Solar Eclipse of 9th March 2016 and 1st Sept. 2016 respectively . Mars going in retrogression and aspecting the Eclipse sign again and again is the most Explosive Parameter . for the 9th March Solar eclipse.
As already mentioned Retrograde planets tend to stagnate the issues and Concentrate the Energy levels in the Sign they Transit
There will be 2 Fallen planets in the year 2016 Mercury and Mars and Mercury will be fallen twice hence significations of these Planets will be like a snake bite since Fallen Planet is supposed to be most Venemous. I need not Explain the significations since they are already explained in my articles . The worst is Mercury is the 3rd and 6th Lord of the natural Zodiac and Mars the Lagna Lord and the 8th Lord and as the 3rd Lord Mercury the Lord of the 8th from 8th house the 3rd house and Both 8th Lord and 3rd Lord fallen in the year 2016 indicative of Events with Explosive dimensions what ever may be the case and Mostly related to the 6th and the 8th house significations . Terrorism, Earthquakes, Cyclones, Stock Nose dive , Gold Volatile . Oil Volatile till 18th Sept. 2016 Political turmoils, Untoward happenings specially when mars and saturn both are retrograde a War like situation in the Globe.
One Very important Parameter in the Present Scenerio and in the Month of March 2016 is the Acceleration of Mercury . The Normal Speed of Mercury is 59 minutes 8 seconds and in the Month of March 2016 starting from 1st March the speed of Mercury is increasing and the small term effects are the Volatility in the Stock markets , which is liable to increase further till the 2nd -3rd April 2016 and will start to decline then and will be minimum on the 1st May 2016, hence the actual Decline in the Market may start from the 2nd April 2016
