Question about Retrograde planets- Visti-ji

[Guest guest]

Dear Visti-ji,

namaskar. I have a question regarding the fructification

of the retrograde planets' indications. I read that long ago, Sanjay-ji taught

that if Su is in 5th, 6th, 7th from a retrograde planet (with longitudinal

difference counted in the zodiacal direction less than 180 deg), then

determining the difference between the longitude of Sun and the planet and then

substracting this difference from 180 deg, the number will show the year of life

when the retrograde planet will bear fruit. if the longitudinal difference

between Su and the planet is more than 180 deg. such event will not happen as

it has already happened in the past. He gave an example of the dog-bite

incident due to retrograde Shani in the 7th from Sun in his rasi chart. Can you

please clarify this.

I think the philosophy is that retrograde planets indicate karma done against

the wishes of the king, i.e. Su and the strong karma fruit represents the

raja-krodha. If Su is in 4th or closer to the planet, the longitudinal

difference is too low, giving the fructification age to far into the future and

before mortal period of life.

Also please clarify that if this is the case, then after the said year is

passed, will the planet be considered giving results akin to direct motion or

should we take the natural age of the planet for that ? My understanding is

that if retrograde planet shows accumulated past karma that whose frutification

is imminent in the present life, then after that fructification is over, the

planet should ease up and be more direct in its attitude.

Best wishes,

Sourav
