We investigate the equation describing the evolution of the kinetic momentum vector for the case of non-resonance rotation of dynamically symmetrical planets by action of gravitational and magnetic interaction with the central star. The obtained gallery of more twenty phase portraits of kinetic momentum evolution illustrates the various regimes of the planetary systems evolution. The analyses of obtained portraits has shown that a direct rotation of the planet may be passed into reverse rotation and vice versa for a rather broad range of the parameters.
