In Vedic astrology, there is a special significance of retrograde planets and they are known to bring results in an unexpected manner.
These results are always strong and have the capability to change the dynamics of our life.
Each retrograde planet works in a different manner and has a certain natural pattern in them.
For example, the natural pattern of transit Mercury retrograde is unreliable communication whereas retrograde Venus transit causes an imbalance in emotions.
Since the role of the planets varies from ascendant to ascendant.
The retrograde planet in question also acts as per their rulership in the natal Horoscope and this leads to completely different dynamics.
Plus the sign where the retrogression is happening also has a say in the effects of the retrograde planet.
We all are aware that a planet in transit is always moving from one sign to another and their retrogression sign also changes.
For example, Saturn takes 2.5 years to transit through a sign and currently, Saturn is in Capricorn sign & is retrograde also.
The next time Saturn will enter Aquarius is after 30 years and it will take this much time when you will witness the retrograde motion of Saturn in the Aquarius zodiac sign.
This means each year their retrogression brings different kinds of results.
So, now here I will be discussing retrograde planets in the year 2022 and the following will be covered in it.

What Is Retrograde Motion Of Planet?
Before we go ahead with this article, it is important to understand the concept of retrograde in astrology.
In astrology each planet moves at a certain speed which is mentioned below:
When a planet, slows down at its natural speed, we call it its retrograde state.
But why, a retrograde state? Why don't we simply call it a slow planet?
Because in astrology we are the observer and we are the subject of these planets.
When a planet, slows down, others are moving at their regular designated speed. The slow planet appears to move back.
You can compare it from the example of two trains i.e. Train A & Train B, running parallel at speed of 100 Km per hour.
When Train B slows down to the speed of 80 KM per hour, it will start to lag behind and will appear to move backward.
While in reality, train B is just slowing down, it is just an observation effect for the passenger sitting in Train B.
Now one question can arise here, which train the native is considered to be sitting on?
The answer in astrology is that the native is not sitting in any of the two trains.
The native is standing far from them, while these two planets are circling around him.
This is what exactly happens in astrology.
The planets revolve around us and we are their subject and point of focus.
The phenomenon of retrograde motion applies to Venus, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter only.
Since Sun doesn't move in the same orbit as these planets, it doesn't go on the retrograde motion.
Rather these 5 planets go in a retrograde state because they can't match up the speed of Sun transit and can not go beyond a certain degree from the planet Sun.
This explains the conditions for retrograde which is as follows:
Whereas Moon, also transits in a different orbit than Venus, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter. Which keeps it free from retrograde motion.
Also, Moon is considered as queen in astrology, while Sun is the King.
Whereas Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter & Saturn are their ministers, soldier & workers for them.
What about Rahu & Ketu?
They are always in retrograde state and are imaginary points.
Actually, Rahu & Ketu are the two points where Moon's orbit intersects the orbit of the Sun around us.
Check the image given below to understand this concept.
