‘Ganeswara Rath, U.S.A.
Q:- Kindly discuss some views
regarding retrograde and direct Mars.
Ans:- Here I am discussing
something from an old magazine the
article is written by respected H. S.
Oberoi. Retrograde and Direct
Stations:- Every planet, while moving
in its orbit, reaches a position where
from the point of view of an observer
on Earth, it appears to slow down in
its direct motion, becomes stationary
in the sky and then appears to
reverse the direction of its motion in
moving backwards in the sky. We call
this backward movement
'Retrogression' or 'Retrograde Motion'
and the stationary period before
retrogradation is called 'Retrograde
station.' When a planet begins its
retrograde motion, it moves slowly at
first, gathers speed in time, but never
reaches its maximum speed while it
is retrograde. After a period of time,
it begins to slow down again and
finally comes to another stationary
period which we call 'Direct Station'.
When it begins to move now, it
moves forward in the zodiac, slowly
in the beginning, but finally reaching
its maximum speed.
Mars is retrograde once every two
and one-half years for about two and
one-half months. It remains stationary
from 3 to 4 days.
What to Avoid When Mars is
Retrograde. In most general sense
Mars rules activity and the initiation
of action. It exerts an energizing,
exciting and activating influence.
Since the power of Mars increases
considerably when it is retrograde,

therefore, most people feel

uncontrollable urges to start important

ventures when Mars is retrograde. But

at the slights delay, tempers flare up.

Arguments aggravate dissensions,

resentments deepen, dormant

grievances surface easily. There is

an added urge to solve problems by

asserting aggressively. 'Ventures

begun hastily and under such a load

of animosity are usually misguided

and have little chance to succeed'

says Mrs. Barbara H. Waters.

The famous astrologer Manik

Chand Jain, joined hands in a

partnership concern manufacturing

Surgical Cotton (Ruler-Mars) in 1977-

78, when Mars was retrograde; In the

beginning Late Jain was the master

of the situation but events took such

an unforeseen sequence that Jain

shaheb became a helpless spectator

of an aggravating situation. The

venture collapsed in 4-5 months

draining all his bank savings.

The message of retrograde Mars

clear: it is impossible to think clearly

and unemotionally. Nothing can be

accom-plished by activity under a

retrograde Mars. But since it is

retrograde for several months every

other year, it is not always possible

to avoid starting things. However, you

are warned not to. (to be contd...)
