Planets and their characteristics
in astrology
Sun is the Atma (soul) of all planets and the person as
well.
It possesses various positive traits such as being a
fatherly figure, having immense strength, holds self-
respect and authority.
Sun It is Sun to show how a person projects himself onto
the world.
If a strong Sun represents energy and authority, a
weak Sun can make a person ego-centric/over-
confident.
You may need a strong Sun when it comes to your
career and profession, but not when you deal with
personal relationships.
Mars: Mars denotes courage, passion, bravely,
strength and confidence.
MARS But in many aspects of life, you don’t need all
this equally.
A strong Mars can help you in your career and
profession but can adversely affect your
married life
Moon represents the mind, acts as
the mother of all, imparts love,
peace of mind, positivity, and
Moon: emotions.
A strong Moon helps a person in all
stages of life, but a weak Moon can
bring troubles like flickering mind
or even depression.
Venus:
Venus represents love, relationship, romance, beauty,
relationships, be it with the spouse/business associates.
Many may not know, but a good Venus is an essence for
your professional life.
So at what stage you need support from Venus is to be
decided by you.
Mercury:
Mercury represents speech, Intelligence, grasping power,
alertness, and logic.
Though Mercury plays a significant role throughout life, it
assumes more importance during the early stage of education.
Jupiter
represents knowledge. It helps a person more when it
reaches the stage of education and career, so may not have
that significant in the early age of the person or, say, initial
childhood.
Rahu:
Rahu brings name and fame, but spoiled Rahu brings
humiliation. Rahu is the planet for worldly desires, manipulation
apart from many other significations attached to him.
The heavy impact of Rahu in the initial age of life can make a
person too much involved in mobile phones/internet-related
activities and the result we know.
Rahu is a shadowy and mysterious plant which, if it acts
negative, tends to make a person over-ambitious, over-
confident, and I don’t care type of attitude
Ketu:
Ketu shows spirituality but detachment also. This is again a
shadowy and planet of no physical existence.
Ketu is known to be malefic to worldly desires and spiritually
benefic. So an adverse effect of Ketu can turn a person away
from mundane and worldly desires, including Love and romance,
at the age when you need them most
Saturn:
Saturn is the Karmic planet that practically holds a person’s life
throughout with the type of Karmas one does.
You step out, become extra ambitious, or commit wrong deeds;
Saturn will punish you. Saturn plays the dual role of a teacher and
a cop. It depends on what you want Saturn to do to you.
Saturn as a planet has such a comprehensive explanation that I
cannot summarize it here.

Nakshatras
In Hindu astrology, there are 27 or 28 nakshatras ("lunar
mansions"), or sectors along the ecliptic.
A list of them is first found in the Vedanga jyothisa, a text
dated to the final centuries BCE.
The nakshatra system predates the influence of Hellenistic
astrology on Vedic tradition, which became prevalent from
about the 2nd century CE.
