Saturnine: Saturn Retrograde Graphs

In a lonely impulse of delight, on the17 th day of Ultra Retro of saturn retro 2106, I created these Graphs of Saturn Retrograde seasons.. from my birth year 1973 to the current year 2016... 42 years and 42 graphs. For the clueless/ unacquainted reader... please read my comprehensive introduction in Saturn Retrograde (click link) for understanding significance of this annually occurring 4.5 long period.However, to understand these graphs, without going to details, I offer a brief summary.

Brief explanation of the Retro Graphs

In the normal state of affairs, there is always a balance in the natural Shakti- Purush, Rajas-Tamas energies in the environment. However, during the 4.5 month long period of annual Saturn Retrograde, the influence and power of Saturn is diminished and regressed. Hence, there is a imbalance in the naturally prevalent Shakti- Purush, Rajas-Tamas, Energy- Inertia balance in the environment. Because of the withdrawal of Saturnine, inertial, Tamas, Purush ruled energies, people or entities ruled by Sun, Mars, Ketu, Uranus, Pluto get highly amplified/ boosted during this period.

Red, Orange, Yellow periods of the graph: denote an abundance of Rajasic/ shakti energies of Sun, Mars, Ketu, Uranus, Pluto and events during this period are breakthroughs, foundations, raptures, are due to the surplus, excess of Rajasic/ shakti energies of Sun, Mars, Ketu, Uranus, Pluto.
Blue, violet periods of the graph: indicate breakthroughs, movements ruled by a surplus due to recoil, backlash, of Saturn/ Shanidev or Rahu energies...
The events after each graph of each period has been distinctly sorted under these two categories.

At the end of this 4.5 month period, energy imbalance is restored and events unfold according to the usual transits of planets,i.e, gochara. Events reference Links: onthisday.com, wikipedia.org
