BASIC INFORMATION ON ASTROLOGY

SIGNIFICATION OF PLANETS

In Astrology, at any point of time nature is governed by a planet and the position of that planet in the horoscope determines how the native will feel or behave.

There are three basic parameters in a horoscope:

1. Planet

2. House

3. Rashi (sign).

Twelve rashis are spread over twelve houses; on an average one rashi occupies one house. However, rashi is exactly 300, whereas a house may vary in size and the starting of house may fall at any rashi at any point.

In a horoscope the Lagna considered as first house (position) and thereby following each house . Total 12 houses or called Bavas are in a Horoscope Rasi Chart.

There are only nine planets and some planets combine together in a house, some houses are left empty.

The planets possess some intrinsic properties. When mixed with the sign and house they occupy, they change their colour, leading to different behaviour, at different time of births. Study of this change in behaviour of the planets is basic astrology.

There are three basic reasons why planets behave differently, like

1. the house in which it is placed.2 sign in which it is placed3. other planets associated with and aspecting it.

Once the planet's behaviour is ascertained because of its placement, the results are changed with time, depending upon Dasha operating at that time. Dasha tells us which planet is effective to give results at what time.
