Sa and Ju change from direct to retrograde or viceversa and a few charts-- why?

[Guest guest]

Vidvan Gurujans and Jyotishas,

 

May the Mother shower her blessings on all this day of

beginning of Navratras.

While exploring the fascinating aspects of Jyotish and

learning bit by bit, I stumbled on an interesting

correlation in a set of Charts and seek your opinion

on it.

 

In my very limited awareness of Jyotisha, the motion

of grahas, that is direct or retrograde, slow or

almost stationary or fast is taken in account only as

a part of shadbala as chestabala. Despite my efforts

to know more on this, I have not been able to find a

detailed discussion on this issue.

 

This small study focuses on the slow movement of

grahas, specially Jupiter and Saturn in 30 Charts.

Fifteen of these charts come from the charts available

in JH 7.02 as sample charts and 15 others collected

from the files section of the Vedic Astrology group.

Initially looking at retrograde aspects, 15 Sa

retrogrades and 5 Ju retrogrades were found in these

charts with only two charts, that of Ramakrishna

Paramhans and Dalai Lama having both Sa and Ju

retrogrades. A total of 18/30 charts had atleast

either a Sa or a Ju retrograde. Considering that both

Sa and Ju are retrograde for four months in a year,

this is not a surprising figure and does not lead to

any suggestion.

 

However, when one looks if Sa or Ju is about to change

stations from direct to retrograde or vice versa

within one month of the date of birth in these charts,

an interesting aspect is thrown up. In 19 of 30 cases,

Sa is set to change stations and is moving slowly. In

14/30 charts Ju is set to change stations, in 8 cases

both Sa and Ju about to change stations and in a total

of 25/30 cases either Sa or Ju or both are about to

change stations and are travelling at a slow/slower

speed. This is a surprisingly high figure of almost

83% charts.

Considering that on an average this period in a year

would account for four months in a year; around 33-40

% of charts should have this situation. A random

sample of 30 other charts showed this average at

almost 40 % for actors and around the same for Police

Officers.

The eight charts in which both Sa and Ju are set to

change status belong to:

Ramakrishna Paramhans, Swami Vivekananda, Rabindranath

Tagore, Paramhans Yogananda, Dalai Lama amongst

others.

The names on the list need no analysis and

introduction. This is undoubtedly a small sample and a

larger sample may change the situation but would like

to know more on this interesting aspect.
