Hello Ernst and all,
I have a chart that has Sun, Ketu, retrograde Mercury and Mars in that order in Capricorn. Per Lajitaadi Avashtas, Mars is both Garvita (Proud) and Lajjita (ashamed). Mercury is agitated and shamed. The fact that Mercury is retrograde, does that change the result that Mercury is agitated and shamed?. In this scenario, Mercury is not combust but Mars is because Mercury is retrograde. I am just curious the impact of retrograde planets on the Lajjitaadi Avashtas. Do retrograde planets change the Lajjitaadi Avashtas results?
Thx!

The retrogression and combustion are part of Chestha Bala and already taken into account for the total ShadBala strength of a planet. Lajjitaadi Avasthas uses ShadBala, so no extra steps and manual calculations needed. Beautiful Kala does all the hard work for us 🙂 If I'm wrong, someone will correct me, but that's how I look at it.
