9.2 Retrogression of
Saturn
9.2.1 As
per Vedic astrology, Saturn is the farthest from Earth and move at slowest of
pace. However when retrograde, it is closest to the Earth but remains at its
slow speed. It remains in a house for roughly 2-1/2 years, during which it
remains retrograde for about 140 days and remains stationary for five days
before and after retrogression. Thus it remains retrograde for about 36.39% of
its time. Therefore his impact on a native is the strongest. The retrogression
influences the native in two ways- its influence in the natal chart and by
transit. The results of retrograde Saturn by transit depend to a large extent
on the state, condition and lordship of Saturn in the natal chart and its
relationship with dosha lords. It also affects the houses & planets associated
with or aspected by transiting Saturn.
Under the influence of retrograde Saturn, a straight thinking native may
suddenly change his ways, acts & thinking. The benefic Saturn who usually
has positive influence may become ambiguous or disobedient by being retrograde;
whereas the malefic, due to retrogression, can definitely become more negative
and do not follow traditional/ ethical/ conventional ways. However in modern
times, at times we honour those who go outside the box and are non-traditional/
unconventional. We may celebrate their potential to be original & different
(as per Karakas) and at the same time try to control the negative aspects.
9.2.2
Retrograde Saturn usually does not know when to stop working or one may not
like work at all. One must not give into a negative attitude and embrace
depression as a habit. It normally depicts a native, poor and hungry for good
things in life, for food and for material goods. The retrogression can make
natives hungry with desires, wanting more & more, even when the hunger has
been apparently appeased and they may be materially very well off. Saturn rules
Vayu element, which needs to
be used constructively; otherwise retrogression can make it unnecessarily
destructive due to temporary blockage of Anahata
Chakra. It retrograde Saturn happens to be lord of dasha or Antar-dasha as well, it indicates
concentration of energy in that part of the zodiac and life appears to be stuck
in limbo, neither moving forward or backward. Also triple transit effect can
cause the Saturn transit over the same point thrice, which concentrates the
energy of its difficult influence. If a natal planet is on the same degree as
stationary Saturn, then it could be worse and a major issue to contend with.
The house rulership and placement of the Moon will show, where the problem is
about. If Saturn as lagna lord retrograde, it will have a major impact on
native’s inner-self and his relationship with others. It is not a good time to
marry.
9.2.3
The Saturn being the karaka of “Kaal” or time, its retrogression is the best
method to judge the influence of Saturn as a matter of time. It allows time to
view the circumstances impersonally and what to do about it unaffected by
emotions. Saturn is a slow moving planet, when it becomes retrograde, one may
not be enthusiastic in working, planning, expansion of business, signing new
agreements or starting a new venture. These are times to slow down, be
cautious, and review the works so far been done. When Saturn enters a house in
direct motion, becomes retrograde moves into the previous house and then when
he resumes direct motion again covers the same area a third time (Phenomenon of
Triple transit). Here the Saturn backs off the territory it has already covered
twice, to let the native feel little relieved of the mounting pressure to take
stock of things and to take the appropriate actions as soon as the Saturn
transits for the third time on the same point/ planet. When retrograde Saturn
transits a planet that is retrograde at birth, the part of the personality does
not work openly in the first phase. It works through indirect psychic process
turned inward and not manageable, triggered by the unconscious ego. Many a
times bearable pressures go within the native which cannot be seen or understood
by others.
