Navagraha

The Nine Planets of Vedic Astrology

The navagraha — nine forces that shape every chart. Each rules signs, gives results in its dasha period, and behaves differently in every house.

In Jyotish there are nine grahas (literally "seizers"): the luminaries Sun and Moon, the five visible planets Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn, and the two lunar nodes Rahu and Ketu. Tap any planet for its full significations, dignity, gemstone and remedies.
