Guest guest Posted April 18, 2002 Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 I am new to this group and very excited to be among such illuminated worshippers of Sri Yantra and the Goddess Lalita. I have many questions, but I will start with the classic symbolism of the 9 planets in Vedic Astrology. Here is my question to the group. I hope someone here has the insight to guide me in this symbolism: Vedic Astrology assigns the planets to the first 9 numbers. However I am trying to find if there is a canon, a real standard to this assignment. Harish Johari has given the following: 1=Sun, 2=Moon, 3=Jupiter, 4=Rahu, 5=Mercury, 6=Venus, 7= Ketu, 8=Saturn, 9=Mars. However the Rudra center has given the alternate: 1=Sun, 2=Moon, 3=Mars, 4=Mercury, 5=Jupiter, 6=Venus, 7=Saturn, 8=Rahu, 9= Ketu. Can you help me with this planetary symbolism? from a seeker on the path to God Absolute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
