I remember in 1997 summers a workshop was held by ICAS, Delhi on the above subject, what if exalted planet becomes retrograde? I was invited to speak on the subject by Sh. M. N. Kedar. There were prominent speakers including the students of astrology. My views had been clear and straightforward as always.
I asked the audience, who were students and teachers of astrology. Question was simple that are you sure about the results of exalted planets? Are you sure that person born with exalted Sun will always get benefits from Govt. Are you sure that such a Sun will give excellent results for all events of life may it be health, travel, marriage, litigation, assets purchase. Have you ever seen a person became head of state whereas Sun was exalted. Give one example. Remember all people born from 14 April to 15 May have exalted Sun. Do everyone will excel in politics, become IAS officer. You know Nehru became PM with weak Sun. Tell me one leader with exalted Sun. Everyone kept mum.
Now I said if Saturn is exalted do you believe that everyone with such a Saturn will excel in steel industry? Give just one example. So my dears when you are not sure about results of exalted planets how come you will be able to ever talk of retrograde planets? I continued do you know Lord Ram became king during debilitated Sun? Do you know Diwali is celebrated during neech Sun and Amavasya Moon. Do you know next day we celebrate Vishwakarma day/ Govardhan Puja and next to next day is Bhai dooj!
Then I explained everyone Planet gives the results of Nakshatra. Its simple to understand for example Moon is debilitated in Scorpio and for example it is in Anuradha Nakshatra. Ascendant is Aries. Results of Moon will be excellent in majority of cases. As in Anuradha Nakshatra, Moon will give results of Saturn i.e. 10,11 houses. Hence during period of Moon person will excel in profession.
Henceforth if everyone wants to dwell into predictive astrology understand this. If you want to want more accuracy take sub lord also for predictive results.
Worth mentioning notable Chairperson started weeping that I had heard of NeechBhang and today Mr. Umang Taneja has now introduced Ucch Bhang!
