Retrograde planets (called Vakri in Vedic astrology) are a frequently misunderstood topic. In Bhrigu Nandi Nadi (BNN) astrology, retrograde planets are given specific interpretive rules that differ from both Western astrology and mainstream Vedic approaches.
In BNN, a retrograde planet does not simply "reverse" its results. Instead, it is understood to:
- Internalise its energy — the effects are felt more deeply on an inner level before manifesting externally
- Create delays in the timing of the results — the results do eventually come but through a non-linear path
- Give stronger results during its Dasha — because the energy has been building internally
- Carry karmic weight — retrograde planets often indicate unfinished business from past lives
The BNN course lesson on retrograde planets teaches students exactly how to modify their predictions when a key planet (especially the 7th or 10th lord) is retrograde — a practical skill that prevents common prediction errors in marriage and career timing readings.
