Retrograde Planets 2017 Astrology




When a planet is retrograde it appears to be moving backward in the sky. A retrograde planet looks like it's going backwards in the sky but it is not, it is stationary in the sky and look like it moving back relative to the earth movement. A retrograde planet is very strong for spiritual growth but weak for materialistic manifestation of things. When any planet retrograde in the birth chart and transit wise it become more conscious in our subconscious mind. Many of the things the planet rules become confused and backup in our minds. Re-thinking, Re-evaluating, and Re-assaying is the theme of retrograde planets. The lack of confidence and the confusion around what the planet rule in our life becomes a source of greater scrutiny but eventually it gives greater clarity in our mind with time this leads to improving the area of life which they rule but delays many tangible things on materialistic plane and it become very frustrating.That's why retrograde planets are never good for earthy life but good for spiritual growth because when someone not getting anything on materialistic level then he looks for other side of life ( Spiritual life or beyond spiritual life). When Planets reach an opposition to the Sun they become retrograde and outer planets remain Retrograde for longer time.

Some people have multiple Retrograde planets, which can bring powerful karmic lessons that create chaos and confusion in the mind and leads to different direction in life. The more Retrograde planets an individual has, the more difficult his life becomes and more introspective and mature within and grow in different area of life. Retrogrades occur on an subconscious level, and if an individual turns his consciousness level and understand why things happened to them then they can utilising this energy in helping other people. Retrograde planets do not give benefits as do direct planets and they become source of confusion in the individual mind.

The meanings of Retrograde planets are determined by the sign and house they occupy, along with the aspects they make. Retrograde planets work differently and need extra understanding.

All retrogrades have three phases:

1) The direct motion until the first station, the retrograde motion, and then the direct motion following the second station.

2) The stationary periods in between are the most powerful, as the planet slows down to change direction.

So what are the duration of planets retrograde:

Mercury is Retrograde for 24 days (almost three weeks) and is stationary for approximately 3 days.

Venus is Retrograde for 42 days (almost six weeks); is stationary for approximately 11 days.

Mars is Retrograde for 80 days (almost eleven weeks); is stationary for approximately 20 days.

Jupiter is Retrograde for 120 days (almost eighteen weeks); is stationary for approximately 10 days.

Saturn is Retrograde for 140 days (almost twenty one weeks); is stationary for approximately 10 days.

The Sun, Moon, North and South Node are never retrograde.

Generally Retrograde planets repeat previous incidents or issues from this life or former lives which were not fully finished with and they need to be processed in order to unload our karmic debt and free from that particular karma.

Now there is four planets Saturn, Jupiter, Venus and Mercury is retrograde. These four planets in retrograde create lot of confusion and stuck energy in our life. Most of the people feeling stuck in some areas of life related with planetary energies. This is good time to think and go internally and ask what you want from your life.

Sun Moon and Rising sign Astrology



There are many people who are often confused by the Sun, Moon and Rising (ascendant) signs. They often asked which one is more important.  I think every sign is important and these three represent different energies in life. So let's start with the Sun sign because most people recognize themselves with the Sun sign. 


So what is the Sun? 


Sun is the supreme self which is present in all of us. In Hinduism the Sun is known as Shiva, the unchanged and supreme power. We all can merge in this supreme power through yoga and meditation practice.  Depending on the Sun sign and position of the house it defines your self esteem, ego,  pride and your vitality. 


The sign of the Sun and its placement in the birth chart is very important in looking into health, career and social status. If Sun is in Aries sign its mean Sun is in its exalted sign and the person has the capacity for pursuing his/her career goals, has a healthy ego and has good health in general. And if Sun in his fall signs Libra, then the person is not serious about his/her career goals; they are more interested in relationships and they are people oriented. They also don’t have good vitality and have a hard time keeping their health good. So the Sun sign is very important in looking for these three things in a person's life. 


Now what is the Moon? 


Moon is the emotions, feelings and is the part of you that reflects the way you feel. The Moon is your comfort or uncomfortable zone depending on the Moon sign and house placement. Moon is a receptive and subconscious mind which acts on past life karma. The Moon sign is important because it signifies your inner emotional wiring and describes the conditions you need in order to feel secure in life. Depending on the Moon sign, you react in a certain way in every aspect of your life, relationships and that will create your inner happiness or unhappiness. The Moon is responsible for your emotions, instincts, memory, and everything else which goes on automatically, without conscious control. All these aspects of the person’s life are shown by the Moon sign. Moon signs are very important for mental health. If the Moon is not in good sign or house it can damage your emotional health. 


There is a flow of masculine and feminine energy in everyone. Masculine part is your outer side, the conscious, and active and feminine side is your inner side, the unconscious side, and the passive side. The Sun is associated in astrology with supreme self through which consciousness filtered down, and this is why it is given such importance. The Sun sign therefore describes quite well the conscious side of the person. On the other hand, the Moon is associated in astrology with the subconscious, intuitive side of a person. 


What is a Rising Sign? 


Rising sign (Ascendant) is the most important sign. It changes every two hours and it sets your life map depending on your past life karma. Rising sign is not only a rising sign but it sets your each and every house in differently than others. What do I mean to say this? Let's say if your Aries are rising then your second is Taurus which is ruled by Venus. And if you are a Taurus rising then your second house is ruled by Gemini which is ruled by Mercury. So depending on the rising sign everyone's life is different from others. This is the most important in all these three signs because it sets your theme of life e.g when you get married or when will get a job etc. Rising sign is actually to fulfill your past life karma and move on towards the next level of life.
