Retrograde planet is controversial in astrology. According to
Phaldeepika it is very good. According to Jataka Parijat it is bad.
According to Phaldeepika a retro debilitated planet creates a NEECHA
BHANGA RAJA YOGA & hence beneficial, but BV Raman possibly opposes this view
in his books.
According to BV Raman Saturn retro & debilitated can't do good. It is more likely to harm. This case has been verified by me in the chart of a divorced woman who had Saturn debilitated & retro in both D1 & D9. It was placed in her 7th house, (Although it was a neccha bhanga & Sat is yogakaraka for Libra asc !)
So I hope one may understand the controversy regarding retro planets & the controversy regarding neccha bhanga raja yoga too. My view till date is that retrograde planets harm the houses in which they are placed & do bad in their dasa-antardasa, unless there are other factors that make them beneficial such as the house that they possess & exaltation/own house placement.
