Retrograde Saturn in the Birth Chart: What Vakri Shani Changes, and What It Does Not

by

A little over a third of all people are born with Saturn retrograde, and it is one of the most anxiously searched placements in a kundli. The classical view is that a retrograde planet is strong, not weak, and what vakri Shani changes is the route and the pace: results held back toward the planet’s own period, then delivered to last. What it is in the sky, what the texts say, how it shows up in a life, sign by sign and house by house, how its dasha behaves, the five things it does not mean, and two worked charts.

Retrograde Jupiter in the Birth Chart: What Vakri Guru Changes in Faith, Children and Fortune

by

Roughly three people in ten are born with Jupiter retrograde, and the first worry is usually that the guru planet has been weakened. Classically the opposite holds: a retrograde Jupiter is strong, and what it changes is the direction its wisdom works in, less received and more worked out. Its astronomy, what happens to each of Jupiter’s significations, dignity and the houses where it shows most, children and marriage read calmly, the ascendants it helps and those it asks more of, its sixteen-year dasha, the twelve-year return, and two worked charts.

Combust Moon in the Birth Chart: Asta Chandra and the Two Days Around the New Moon

by

The Moon is combust for about two days every month, so roughly one person in fifteen is born with it, always on Amavasya or Shukla Pratipada. Why a combust Moon is a tithi, what changes when the Sun and Moon sit in different signs, the queen beside the king, the Moon’s strength across its cycle, what it means when the chart’s reference point is combust, mood and rest, new moons that are eclipses, the ascendants where the luminaries join, timing, and two charts from practice.

Combust Venus in the Birth Chart: Asta Shukra, the Rival Minister at the King’s Side

by

Venus spends about one day in seven within the Sun’s combustion orb, mostly in long spells of eleven weeks behind it. Why that is the panchang’s Shukra asta, what combustion does to love, art, beauty and money when the Sun and Venus are enemies, each of Venus’s significations in turn, dignity and Malavya yoga, the lordships for each ascendant, the twenty-year period, and two charts from practice.
