Special Aspects of Retro Planet

 

When a planet turns retrograde, it doesn’t just behave differently—it casts a very special influence on a specific house from its own position.

​

• Mars – influences the 3rd house from itself

• Jupiter – influences the 5th house from itself

• Saturn – influences the 9th house from itself

• …and so on.

​

• Mars Retrograde in Lagna: Such people are driven, restless in the best way possible, always learning something new. Skills come to them as if they’ve known them for lifetimes. That’s Mars activating the 3rd house—hard work, hobbies, learning.

• Mars Retrograde in 6th House: I’ve seen these natives become the “discipline police” for their spouse—changing their eating habits, tracking expenses, tidying up finances. Why? Because Mars is activating the 8th house, which governs spouse’s food, finances, and family ties.

• Mars Retrograde in 8th House: Here, the person pours their soul into work. Many times, they even end up in professions connected to their family’s legacy.

Then comes Saturn Retrograde—the slow, patient teacher—casting its gaze on the 9th house from where it sits:

• Saturn Retrograde in 2nd House: Careers start at rock bottom—sometimes humbling, sometimes frustrating—but slowly, surely, they rise. Saturn’s eyes are fixed on the 10th house of career, and it makes you earn every inch of success.

• Saturn Retrograde in 9th House: These natives often feel invisible/unrecognized in their efforts—whether in higher studies, office politics, or creative recognition. That’s Saturn’s 5th house influence, testing persistence in every possible way, because 5th house is your honor, position, power.
