The Mercury Retrograde Mystery:
Vakya Panchangam does not show retrogradation explicitly in its daily vakyas because it assumes uniform motion. Yet, pundits would manually apply correction rules ( ashtakavarga ). In 1995, Mercury’s retrograde in March and July created a paradox: Vakya’s fixed-position phrase would say “Mercury is here,” but the sky showed it moving backwards. This is where the Ganita (mathematical) scholars earned their keep—by interpreting the Vakya’s embedded correction factors. vakya panchangam 1995
