The 9 Planets (Navagraha)

Significance, dignity and results of each graha

Vedic astrology works with nine planets or grahas: the Sun and Moon (luminaries), the five visible planets Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn, and the two lunar nodes Rahu and Ketu (shadow planets). Each graha is a karaka, a significator of specific areas of life, and its results depend on the sign it occupies (its dignity), the house it sits in, and the planets it joins or aspects. Select a planet for its full significance, then explore its results in every sign and house.
