What Are Planets in Kundli?
The Navagraha in chart interpretation
Planets are the active forces in the kundli. They show what is trying to happen, while signs and houses show how and where that force operates.
What Matters Most
- Natural meaning is only the first layer.
- A planet changes behavior based on house ownership.
- Strength, dignity, aspect, and conjunction always matter.
The Luminaries
Sun and Moon are not judged like ordinary planets because they define vitality and mind. Their condition shapes confidence, stability, and visibility across the chart.
The Classical Grahas
Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn each bring a very different type of intelligence to the chart - force, analysis, wisdom, pleasure, and structure.
Rahu and Ketu
The lunar nodes are powerful karmic amplifiers. Rahu intensifies desire and worldly hunger, while Ketu cuts, clarifies, and spiritualizes through detachment.
