Basics of Astrology

Movement and Speed of Planets:

The planets always keep moving. They complete one cycle of movement according to their speed. Their speed is calculated on the basis of degree which is divided from 0 to 30 degree. The planets stay in one sun sign as below:

Sun = 1 month
Moon = 2.4 days around
Mars = 4 months
Mercury = 27 days around
Jupiter = 13 months
Venus = 25 days around
Saturn = 30 months
Rahu = 18 months
Ketu = 18 months.

Sun changes the zodiac sign from 13th to 17th of each month. So Moon, Sun, Mercury and Venus are fast planets.
Rahu, Saturn and Jupiter are slow planets.

Degree of Planets :

In astrology the power of planets is divided into degree, which is 0 to 30 degree. The planets start from 0 and end on 30.
Planets give result according to the degree in the horoscope as:

From 0 to 10 degree - called as childhood, contains less power, so gives result in childhood of the native.
From 10 to 20 degree – called as youth, contains more power, gives more result in the age of youth.
From 20 to 30 degree – called as old age, contains less power, gives result in old age.

(Sun stays for one month in one zodiac sign. Say from 14th Jan to 14th Feb in Capricorn. That moment Sun will have 0 degree on 14th Jan, and 30 degrees on 14th Feb. On 14th Feb, it will move to Aquarius sign, and so on. )


Influence of Planets :

Planets give result according to the age of the native-------

In childhood: It effects health, education and parents.
In youth : It effects education, career and progress.
In old age : It effects health and family.

Types of Planets :

1 – Direct planets or stationary planets.
2 – Retrograde planets.
3 – Combust planets.
4 – Exalted planets.
5 – Deliberate planets.

The movement of planets depends upon the type of planets. First we consider the types of planets.

1) Direct or Stationary Planets

These types of planets are good and beneficial. We know that planets keep moving. In astrology planets move around the 12 sun signs. It means planets always move forward in their path. When planets move forward they are called as direct or stationary planets.

The Sun and Moon are only two planets which always move forward. They never move reverse. In Hindu methodology we have two Lords, which we can see from our eyes.

Influence of Direct Planets:

They always give good results in their dasa. They also give beneficial results in that house in which they lie.

2) Retrograde Planets

Sometimes the planets move reverse, that movement of planets called retrograde.
Rahu and Ketu always move reverse. So they are retrograde planets. All other planets have to become retrograde time after time except Sun and Moon.

Influence of Retrograde Planets

These planets give less results as compared to stationary planets. They give good results when the planet becomes retrograde presently.

(If in a horoscope a planet is retrograde eg. 11thJuly,1972. Jupiter was retrograde. So it will give less benefit to the person, because it was retrograde at that moment. Presently when Jupiter will again become retrograde, it will give good and wonderful results to the person say, on 15th July, 2008 to 29th Aug,2008.


Combust Planets :

The Sun and Moon have their own light. All other planets will get light from Sun. Sun has most power in Astrology. As I told you planets are divided into the 30 degrees. The degrees are very effective in these calculations.

If a planet is positioned along the Sun, it reduces the power of the planet. How it can be done is given below :

Sun = 15 degree
Mercury = 25 degree
Jupiter = 17 degree
Mars = 9 degree

The Sun, Mercury, Mars and Jupiter are placed along in the horoscope. The planets become deep combust if they lie within 6 degree (+ or - 6 ).
In this case both Jupiter and Mars are combust. How did this happen-------

Sun has 15 degree, so add 15 + 6 = 21; subtract 15 – 6 = 9
The planets will become combust if it lies between 9 to 21 degrees.
Jupiter has 17 degree, Mars has 9 degree. So both are combust.

Influence of Combust Planets :

The combust planets do not give good results, make life dull when the dasa starts. They give effect when presently the planet is combust. In this situation, when the dasa of Jupiter or Mercury will start, life of native becomes dull, can feel depressions, results are delayed, reduces the dominance power etc. The combust planets give very good results when present planet becomes combust again in future.

If in one horoscope the planet Jupiter was combust on, 11th July,1972.
The whole dasa of 16 years will become like this, it will give less benefit to the person, because it was combust that moment.

Presently when Jupiter will become combust again in future it will give good results to the person say, on 15th July,2008 to 29th Aug,2008, Jupiter will become combust, then it will give wonderful results to the person.


Benefic and Malefic Planets:

The benefic planets give good results to the native very often ie Moon, Jupiter, Mercury, Venus and Sun. The malefic planets give bad results to the native ie Saturn, Rahu, Ketu and Mars. Both types of planets give results according to the position of the planets in horoscopes.

Exalted and Deliberate Planets :

Sometimes planets become Exalted and Deliberate. The Exalted planets give wonderful results at their maximum ie name and fame. Deliberate planets also give results, but I have seen in practice that these planets defame the person and give poor mentality to the person than exalted planets.

Every planet effects the seventh house from which it lies. In this horoscope Mars is in deliberate sign. Cancer is in 1st house ie Lagna or ascendant. So we will see both houses ie first house and seventh house. Mars will make the person coward, shy, short tempered, cruel, impotent, dull, emotional, weak body ie all the –ve traits of Mars and 1st house.

Mars effects the 7th house, ie Capricorn, which is the Exalted sign of mars. So native will come from reputed family, she will has a lot of confidence, energy, boldness, active, sharpness, property and beauty.
