Breathing in Planetary energy vs Raising it in a square and other nuanced questions

Is it also a bad idea to breathe in a planet’s energy when it’s in a bad sign or when it’s in retrograde?

I would highly appreciate answers for my questions if anyone knows the technicalities.

What’s the difference between breathing in planetary energy and raising the energy through a square?

Also are you supposed to breathe in energy from the planet in question before each mantra in a square?

Does raising your own energy through a mantra like SATANAS make the square more powerful? Is it okay to do that since I’ve been doing a square for a couple of days and haven’t used SATANAS before it or breathed in the planet’s energy before vibrating the mantra , if I started by vibrating SATANAS before starting the mantras and breathing in thr planet’s energy before each mantra, could that mess up the flow of planetary energy?

Raising energies before any magickal operation makes it powerful

Is it also a bad idea to breathe in a planet’s energy when it’s in a bad sign or when it’s in retrograde?

It seems you have pretty much answered your own question, though it is mentioned in the Temple of Zeus to not work with or absorb planetary energies outside of their signs and positions where they are positive in nature, also to avoid when retrograde as well.

As for absorbing the energies directly, I would err on the side of caution, unless you fully understand what you are doing and have complete control in the ability to fully withstand and direct these energies. Mantras allow these energies to be pulled from their respective source and funneled, and with divine numerology through the usage of Satya's magickal squares, the energy is further sorted to achieving the goals outlined in the Spiritual or Material sections of these workings.
