Major Planets – Saturn, Jupiter and Mars, when retrograde, at birth or in transit, have appreciable effects on the life and fortune of the individuals and nations specially when such planets pass over the natal planets.
Saturn
normally retrogrades for a maximum period of 130 days. It remains stationary
for about 5 days before and after retrogradation.
There is
difference of opinion among the astrologers about the effects of stationary
planets. The event may happen either before or after the exact time of the
stationary position. The other view is that stationary planets. However, one
view expressed by the learned is that when a transiting planet is stationary
over the natal planet or over the sensitive point, the effects are remarkable
and very staking. The event may happen either before or after the exact time of
the stationary position. The other view it that stationary planets have no
force.
The following
questions are posted for your consideration and denote whether they hold good.
Whether a planet when stationary and just changing direction
radiates more energy on the earth.
Whether stationary and retrograde planets are more powerful
in their effects as compared to the direct motion of such planets.
Whether potency of retrograde planets is of high order when
it turns direct in its motion.
The Sun and the
moon are never retrograde.
Jupiter remains in
retrograde motion for the period of about 120 days. Jupiter gets to retrograde
motion in its sign Pisces. Normally Jupiter remains stationary for about 5
days.
Retrograding
period for Mars is about 80 days. The Retrograding of a benefic planet, if
transiting a favorable house, would bring good results and if transiting a
malefic house, bad results/with less intensity shall come to survey face. For
Aries Lagna Jupiter would be transiting 12th house and for Libra Lagna Jupiter
shall be transiting 6th house for Leo Lagna, Jupiter would be transiting 8th
house.
The Retrograding
period of Venus is just about 2 days and it remains stationary for about two
days. Practically for full 42 day, Venus would be retrograde. She remains
stationery only for one day on 31st July 1999 if it can be said so.
Mercury remains
retrograde for a period of about 24 days and is stationary just for one day.
Strong planet benefic to the horoscope shall produce
favorable results. In the case of malefic planets, good results may be feeble.
A planet expected
to give results doesn't do so if he is aspected by or conjoined with a malefic
during the transit.
Whenever the
lords of the Ascendant (Lagna) and the 6th house (house of enemies) conjoin in
a sign, the enemy of the native shall be subdued specially when the lord of 6th
house is weaker than the Lagna Lord.
Enemy shall not
be subdued if the 6th Lord is stronger than the Lagna Lords. For example, for a
Gemini Lagna native is likely to face adverse enemity during the transit of
Mars and Mercury conjoined in Capricorn (Mars exalts in Capricorn).
Success of the
native is indicated with reference to significations of the house when the
Lagna Lord meets the lord of the concerned house.
Jupiter in transit from the sign/house concerned (including of Navamsha) to 5th/9th there from can give good results. Further good effects are indicated when the benefic Jupiter touches the exact point of longitude of Lagna Lord or the house concerned.
Sufferings cannot
be ruled out when a house is transited by the lord of 8th house. Accidents can
be predicted with the placement of Rahu/Mars/Saturn in 8th house.
The Sun and Mars
give their effects when they enter a sign and their influence is more prominent
in the initial 10 degrees of the sign during their transit.
The Jupiter and Venus bestow their full effects from 11 degrees to 20 degrees of the sing during their transit.
The Moon and
Saturn give full effects from
Degrees to 30 degrees during their transit.
The Mercury and
Rahu/Ketu give uniformity good or evil effects throughout the sign i.e. form 0
degrees to 30 degrees depending on the force of planets.
