Vedic astrology, also known as
Jyotish
, is defined as an ancient astrological system originating from India. It takes into account the positions of
planets
and stars at the time of our birth and calculates a considerable influence over various aspects of our lives. Vedic astrologers state that these celestial bodies can impact our personality, career, relationships, and even our health.
The nine planets in Vedic astrology, namely the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter,
Venus
, Saturn, Rahu, and
Ketu
, each possess distinct qualities and energies.
For example, the
Sun
is linked to the ego, the
Moon
to emotions, and Mars to action, and so on.
When a planet resides in a specific sign or house in one's birth chart, it is believed to exert influence over that particular area of life. For instance, if the Sun is positioned in the house of career (1st house), it is said to impact one's career path.
The influence of planets extends to specific time periods called planetary periods or dashas. Each planet has its own dasha period, lasting for a specific number of years, during which it is believed to hold a greater impact on our lives.
- The Sun is believed to influence career paths, self-worth, and leadership abilities.
- The Moon is associated with emotions, relationships, and nurturing capabilities.
- Mars affects energy levels, motivation, and the capacity for action.
- Mercury's domain includes communication skills, intelligence, and learning ability.
- Jupiter influences wealth, luck, and the potential for broadening horizons.
- Venus governs the love life, creativity, and the enjoyment of life's pleasures.
- Saturn shapes discipline, a sense of responsibility, and the ability to overcome challenges.
- Rahu is associated with sudden changes in fortune, illusion perception, and materialistic desires.
- Ketu influences spiritual growth, the ability to release attachments, and connection to the divine.
Through an understanding of planetary influences, individuals can navigate positive transformations and shape a future in alignment with their highest potential."
