Check natal retrograde status
Enter your birth details to inspect the apparent motion of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn at birth. The table lists the supported planets marked retrograde by MahaGuru, together with their zodiac signs and degrees.
Keep natal motion separate from today's transits
A planet being retrograde now does not mean it was retrograde when you were born. This page checks the birth moment. Use the Planetary Transits page for the separately dated current snapshot. Rahu and Ketu are not included in this five-planet filter.
Avoid treating motion as a verdict
Retrograde is a positional and motion indicator. It does not by itself mean that a planet is bad, that a person will fail, or that an outcome is inevitable. Interpret motion alongside the rest of the birth chart and the convention being used.

Frequently asked questions
Why are Rahu and Ketu not in this list?
This filter is for Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. The lunar nodes are shown separately in the complete planetary positions report.
What does an empty result mean?
None of the five supported planets was marked retrograde at the entered birth moment. It is not a judgment about the overall chart.
Is this showing retrograde planets today?
No. It checks the birth moment. Today's transit status belongs to the separate dated transit report.
