Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Dear All, In page 237 of "Three hundred important combinations" by B.V. Raman there is a reference to Raja Yoga caused by: "Definition:- When a planet is in debilitation but with bright rays, or retrograde, and occupies favourable position, Raja Yoga will be caused." He also cites an example in chart no. 116. In Shri P.V.R Narasimha Rao's book "Lessons On vedic Astrology (Volume 1)" in Lesson no. 9, "28. A planet in debilitation and retrograde is akin to being exalted. " Is there a mention of this in some of the classical references on astrology like BPHS or Jaimini sutras? Could some please throw some light on this. Thanks Tarak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Dear Tarak, See Parashara Ch 27 (Evaluation of strengths): 21-23. PLANETARY MOTIONS (MARS TO SATURN): "Eight kinds of motions are attributed to planets. These are Vakra (retrogression), Anuvakra (entering the previous sign in retrograde motion), Vikala (devoid of Motion or in stationary position), Manda (somewhat slower motion than usual), Mandatara (slower than the previous mentioned motion), Sama (somewhat increasing in motion as against Manda), Chara (faster than Sama), and Atichara (entering next sign in accelerated motion). The strengths allotted due to such 8 motions are : 60, 30, 15, 30, 15, 7.5, 45, and 30." A planet in retrograde motion (vakra) is stronger than normal due to its slower motion. Some conclude that this is same as being exalted. However, in my opinion, it means that the influence the retrograde planet has on the bhava it occupies is more powerful...for better or worse depending on the nature of the planet in a given horoscope. There are contradicting opinions on this, of course :-( Best Wishes, Mrs. Wendy http://JyotishVidya.com ______________________________ - "thammi39" <thammi39 <jyotish-vidya> Monday, February 13, 2006 5:56 PM debilitated and retrograde planet Dear All, In page 237 of "Three hundred important combinations" by B.V.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Dear Mrs.Wendy, Thanks for the information. In my daughter's navamsha chart - Saturn which is her atmakaraka is retrograde and is placed in aries (Debilitated) in the fourth bhava. (Navamsha lagna is aquarius), She also has the Arudra Lagna in the fourth along with the atmakaraka. In your opinion what would the influence of the retrograde planet manifest in her life? Her chart details: Dec 24, 1974. 12:55 PM (IST) Longitude: 78 E 42 Latitude: 10 N 48 (Meena lagnam and mesha rashi) Thanks and Regards Tarak --- Wendy Vasicek <jyotish wrote: > Dear Tarak, > > See Parashara Ch 27 (Evaluation of strengths): > > 21-23.
