Planet

The main parameters in Jyotish (vedic astrology) are Rashi (zodiac signs) and Grahas (planets), that lie underneath everything that happens or exists in this world (events, individuals, objects).

Graha (if translated from Sanskrit) means "the one that controls". The physical bodies of Grahas in our world are planets. But the physical body of each Graha is only a small fraction of the whole concept of the term "Graha" as the planets representing Grahas are only terminals or visual forms. First of all, Grahas are also Devatas (Deva is the Sanskrit term for male-deity, Devi - the Sanskrit term for "female-deity). Devas are the sources of energies that structure everything in our world. With the right use of knowledge about those or other influences that Grahas have, the one can create a Kundali (horoscope) at any object and get a specific picture and knowledge about it.

Grahas are the main forces in our world, and the signs of the Zodiac are specific zones in space and time (which can be called as "slices of our consciousness") that Grahas influence. In other words, Rashi are certain spheres of our life. For example, the 4th Rashi (or Bhava) is responsible for family life and the disposition of Grahas in it will greatly affect a person's family life. Hence, it can be concluded that almost everything in a person's life depends on GrahasGrahas are Devatas, who keep the whole Karma of people. On one hand any Graha can raise negative / positive Karma and on the other hand - let it off. Also according to Graha's position and Upayas (actions that are related to Graha) done by a particular person, Grahas can either intensify or skip certain Samskaras (term "samskaras" can be translated from sanskrit as "seeds of Karma").

In this section you will find information on 9 Grahas: Surya (Sun), Chandra (the Moon), Mangala (Mars), Buddha (Mercury), Guru (Jupiter), Shukra (Venus), Shani (Saturn), Rahu (Northern Node) and Ketu (Southern Node).

Vajra is the 15th Nitya (Naisargika) Yoga, which is ruled by Varuna and considered to be malefic one (especially first 3 Ghatis of it). Its effect can be described as "thunderbolt", "hard", "impenetrable". Chandra is a Graha, who's ruling Vajra.
