Retrograde Planets: A Dual Nature of Influence
Retrograde planets are believed to bring challenges and delays in the areas they govern. They are often associated with introspection,
revisiting old issues, and reevaluating our plans. However, they can also be seen as opportunities for reflection, growth, and transformation.

The 6th, 8th, and 12th houses are considered “dusthanas” or “malefic” houses. These houses represent challenges, obstacles, and hidden aspects of life, such as debt, transformation, and loss. The lords of the 6th, 8th, and 12th houses may not bring favourable outcomes, especially when they are in retrograde. The most significant negative impact tends to occur during the dasha (planetary period) of these lords.
