About Planets
Avasthaas (States) of Planets
Relationships Among Planets
Types of Planets
There are many types of planets, the
following are the main --
Which Planets are -
Aatm Kaarak, or Maarak or Yog Karak?
For Libra rising - Saturn is Raaj Yog planet?
[but because Saturn was in 12th House while I was born, so I had to suffer with many griefs.
So Saturn MD was also bad for me from all the houses - lost all money, new wife, wife's
surgery, car accident, loss of baby, separation from wife, bankruptcy, divorce, father's
death - all in the first 6 years.
Mars is in the 10th house, and it's very happy there but poorly placed in Cancer.
Benefic and Malefic Planets -
Planets can be malefic or benefic. Malefic means bad and benefic means
beneficial. Some are Natural Benefic or Malefic, some are Functional
Benefic or Malefic. Malefic is defined as the inharmonious
aspect to any planet or house. The Hindi word for this is "Paapee", causing Sin or
giving the results of Sin. Their energies remains in control when they are placed in
3rd and 6th Houses, they do not cause material losses, but when they are in 11th
House though
one may collect Paap/Sins to their basket. This is strictly applicable to House
when you observe them in Natal chart and/or Raashi oriented charts when you want to apply
these on planets as fix significator.
Malefics inspire extreme
desire to that house in which he is occupant, for example, Mars in 12th
will mean great desire to spend, any amount in pocket will be short of his
budget, one may resort to endless ventures at the cost of family, blood
relatives and yet may not succeed. So is the case with Saturn in 12th,
people get inspired to invest in fix property, or they would invest in
such things from which they can not withdraw their money easily.
5th Lord - Benefic
9th Lord - Benefic
Malefic Planets - Sun, Moon,
Mercury, Saturn, Raahu, Ketu
Benefic Planets - Mars, Jupiter, Venus
Gandant Planets
Planet having longitude between 0 to 4 degree and 26 to 30 degree in
Pisces/Aries, Cancer/Leo and Scorpio/Sagittarius junction are called
planet in Gandant. They create serious health problem, accident, break in
relationship etc giving us lot of physical and mental pain.
--Planets at the end of all signs cause health as well as relationship problems
and the related houses
- like marriage, profession could not get stable.
--Whereas, planets at the beginning of sign - are weak and helpless to
give the result expected of them, for example, delay in marriage, delay in
getting job, children etc etc.
Remedial Measures like Mahaa-mrityunjaya Mantra are advised for Gandant
planet. For planets at the beginning of the sign, measures need to be
taken to strengthen them.
Planets in Retrograde -
Some planets go
backward during their revolution period and are called in Retrograde. When any
Planet goes Retrograde in his Exaltation Sign, it is almost fallen.
There are 5
positions of every Planet -
Exaltation - at its highest,
Debilitated - when it is in the opposite Sign of its Exaltation, it is
Debilitated
Combust (burnt) - when it is very near to Sun, it is combust
-----------------------------------------------------
The Sun is also benefic, more than Jupiter that is I consider.
Jupiter is pretty good, but depends on placement.
Saturn and Jupiter are the 2 spiritual planets - Jupiter gives us grace,
and expansion of life..... and
Saturn gives us contraction, and teaches us to seek silence and solitude where
God resides, as well.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Gauree is consort of Lord Shiv, also known as Paarvatee. She is the Isht
Devee of the watery planet - Moon thus the connection.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Some say that one
should not consider Planets' debilitation or exaltation at all.
