- Mars: Energy turns inward. Push less, plan more.
- Jupiter: Growth becomes inner growth. Study and reflect.
- Saturn: Duties come back for a rerun. Finish what was left open.
- Rahu: Always retrograde. It pulls you towards new desires.
- Ketu: Always retrograde. It loosens what you no longer need.
Retrograde is not a punishment. It is a slower phase. Use it to review, repair and finish old work. To see how these planets sit in your own chart, generate your free kundli or check the current transits.
