ALL YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT PLANETS
There are six parts of our great Vedas. Jyotish Shastra or Vedic Astrology is the sixth part and eyes of Vedas. It has three main divisions so it is also referred as Skandatrya. Skanda meaning chapter and Trya means three. They are Ganit (Mathematics), Hora (Jataka or predictive) and Sahinta (Mundane). By addition of two more Sahinta, Preshna (Horary or query related) and Shakuna (Omens) it becomes Panch-Skanda.
Although our focus will always remain on predictive astrology but we can not afford to skip any subject without touching. It is very important to understand basics of Astronomy, mathematical calculation of Ascendant and Vargas and other related areas which are of great indirect help in predictive astrology.
PLANETS:
Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus Saturn, Rahu (Dragon’s Head) and Ketu (Dragon’s Tail)
SIGNS OWNED BY PLANETS:

Ketu (Dragon Tail) 1.1/2 years 18 years
Maha Rishi Parashar has mentioned about Rahu / Ketu behavior in different signs in their Dasha periods only.
Exaltation (Uchha) and Debilitation (Neecha) of Planets
Planet Exaltation sign Debilitation sign Deepest exaltation / debilitation degrees
Sun Aries Libra 10 degrees
Moon Taurus Scorpio 3 degrees
Mars Capricorn Cancer 28 degrees
Mercury Virgo Pisces 15 degrees
Jupiter Cancer Capricorn 5 degrees
Venus Pisces Virgo 27 degrees
Saturn Libra Aries 20 degrees
Maharishis have not assigned any exaltation or debilitation signs to Rahu (Dragon's head) and Ketu (Dragon's tail). But learned people take Taurus and Gemini as exaltation signs of Rahu and Scorpio and Sagittarius signs as exaltation for Ketu. Debilitation is in opposite signs.
When ever there is difference of opinions, we give first preference to the verdict of Maha Rishi Parashar. Maha Rishi Parashar describes their different states only while delineating Dasha results. We accept the same verdict.
Planet Mool-Trikona sign Mool-Trikona degrees Own sign degrees
Sun Leo 0 ˚ to 20 ˚ 20 ˚ to 30 ˚
Moon Taurus 3 ˚ to 30 ˚ n/a
Mars Aries 0 ˚ to 12 ˚ 12 ˚ to 30 ˚
Mercury Virgo 15 ˚ to 30 ˚
Jupiter Sagittarius 0 ˚ to 10 degrees 10 ˚ to 30 ˚
Venus Libra 0 ˚ to 15 ˚ 15 ˚ to 30 ˚
Saturn Aquarius 0 ˚ to 20 ˚ 20 ˚ to 30 ˚
What do we understand by exaltation or debilitation or Mool-Trikona sign?
In general or literal meaning, an exalted planet or a planet in its Mool-Trikona sign or own sign is considered strong and auspicious and it gives good results especially of its significations.
A debilitated planet on the other hand is considered weak and in-auspicious and can not give good results especially of owned significations.
Inter Relationship of Planets
All the nine planets and this whole universe exist within us in micro form. We experience everything related to the nine planets on daily basis and we just need to connect our lives to the planets.
As such there is no friendship or enmity among planets and they represent different colors or characters of the universe. Our body is also made of Panch Mahabuthas (Agni, Prithvi, Vayu Jala, and Akaash) which are of opposite nature; still they exist as one physical form. Similarly characters of all planets are within our self but one or the other forms are predominant making different personalities.
We can proceed further on this subject matter as by now we have thoroughly understood the significations of nine planets.
How to find out inter planetary relationships?
Ans.: Draw a horoscope with Mool-Trikona sign of the planet as ascendant. From the ascendant,
2nd and 12th, 5th & 9th and 4th & 8th signs; and exaltation sign are considered as friendly signs by the planet in question.
Let’s take an example: Aries is the Mool-Trikona sign of Mars.
2/12 5/9 4/8 signs are friendly signs.
10 i.e. Capricorn is exaltation sign of Mars so it becomes friendly sign.
Inimical signs: 3/6/7/11
Interplanetary relationship:
As both signs of Mercury (3 & 6) are inimical, Mars consider Mercury as enemy. Venus is lord of Taurus (2) and Libra (7). Taurus is friendly sign but Libra is inimical so Mars considers Venus as neutral. Similarly, Mars considers Saturn as neutral. Mars considers Sun, Moon and Jupiter as friends. Please note that this relationship is perceived relationship of Mars only. Other planets may have different opinion or relationship about Mars which need to be understood by making similar charts of all planets.
The relationship as explained is called as Natural relationship of planets and is shown in the following table:
Planets Friends Enemies Neutral
Sun Moon, Mars, Jupiter Venus, Saturn Mercury
Moon Sun, Mercury none Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn
Mars Sun, Moon, Jupiter Mercury Venus, Saturn
Mercury Sun,Venus Moon Mars, Saturn, Jupiter
Jupiter Sun, Moon, Mars Mercury, Venus Saturn
Venus Mercury, Saturn Moon, Sun Mars, Jupiter
Saturn Mercury, Venus Sun, Moon, Mars Jupiter
As we can see in above table that Sun considers Mercury as neutral but Mercury considers Sun as a friendly planet. Similarly, Mars considers Saturn as neutral by Saturn considers Mars as enemy planet.
We can also divide the nine planets in different groups:-
Group 1: Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Ketu
Group 2: Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Rahu
Moon is considered as neutral planet. Moon is like plain water and it can take any color under different conditions.
We will discuss the reasons for above relationship in detail in live class.
