Frequently Asked Questions
What do Vakri and Margi mean?▼
Vakri (retrograde) is when a planet appears to move backwards across the sky as seen from Earth; Margi means direct motion. It is an optical effect — the planet does not truly reverse. In astrology a retrograde planet is considered especially strong in its effects.
Which planets are retrograde now?▼
No major planet is retrograde right now.
Do the Sun and Moon go retrograde?▼
No. The Sun and Moon are never retrograde. Rahu and Ketu (the lunar nodes) are always considered retrograde. Only Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn turn Vakri and Margi.
How are these dates calculated?▼
From precise astronomical computation of each planet’s geocentric ecliptic motion. The exact station (turning) day can vary by ±1 day; confirm important timings with a panchang.
