[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Can anyone explain why pluto and sun have been considered as planets in

Indian Astrology?

 

If I am wrong please correct.

Dear A&T,

 

Namaskar. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are not taken in

consideration in Jyotisha. Some new astrologers in India use these under

the influence of western astrology or due to their personal research.

However, these are not part of the tradition taught in India.

 

The Sun or Surya is considered a 'graha'. In sanskrit, 'graha' means one

which 'catches' us and makes us experience things. In that sense Surya

and Chandra are grahas. However, in english translation it is translated

as 'planet' hence the confusion.

 

Best wishes,

 

Sourav
