In Vedic Astrology all calculations are done taking earth as the reference
point. In our solar system (including the Earth) are orbiting around the Sun
with varying speeds. So, if in a certain time they come in a position at the
orbit that they appear to be going backward from earth and that is what
retrogression or retrograde motion of planets and that particular planet in
that particular time is called retrograde planet in Vedic Astrology or
sometimes also called as Vakri Graha in Jyotish. Retrogression of any
planets in chart represents the negligence of responsibilities in the past
life of that planet concern with the particular house where it is posited.
Likewise, Retrograde of Saturn in a chart represents the neglect of
responsibilities in the past or previous life. The native comes into the
current life, with a tendency to carry forward the same goals that he had
left unfinished in the previous life.
If the native ignored the responsibilities in the past life clearly indicates
that the quality of Sign in which the Saturn is posited in retrogression in
the current life. Person with retrograde Saturn in chart can make him/her
either workaholic or will be lazy.
It is very important to note that if any person having Saturn
retrograde in his/her chart and in transit Saturn becomes
retrograde, one should not start expansion of business or
starting new venture.
