Astrology

Astrology

Indian Astrology considers the Sun, Moon and other planets in the Solar System. Since Gravity is the important concept, a few systems ignore the outer 3 planets, i.e. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
Those that consider it, follow a slightly different chart rather the below.

Chart and its explanation:

  1. In this chart, numbers in big bold represent the house number,
  2. The English name and Indian name of the planet is given (the Indian name may have a small difference in spelling as different areas pronounce it different, but it is the closest of Sanskrit word)
  3. Then you can see the names of the Zodiac Sign in English and its Indian name (similar to Sanskrit)
  4. The text that is smaller represent the 27 constellations.
  5. The symbols in black represent the Zodiac
  6. The colorful images are the sun, moon and the planets.

Consideration:

In India, we consider the moon signs, so when a person is born, the house where the moon is, is his Zodiac symbol, the planet in the house its lord, and based on the timing, the constellation is also picked.
Since some constellations overlap the Zodiac, those repeat. For eg. Kruthiga, Mrigasira, Punarvasu repeat in 1,2 and 3 respectively.
So, the consideration is the specific number of the Constellation/Zodiac Sign.
Further more, each Constellation represents one of the 3 Ganas, namely Deva (Angels), Nara (Human), and Danav (Demon) and under one of the 3 Nadis, namely Pustha (First), Madhya (Middle), and Sesha (Last).
The following table depicts the above information.

Deva 1 5 7 8 13 15 17 22 27
Nara 2 4 6 11 12 20 21 25 26
Danava 3 9 10 14 16 18 19 23 24

Pustha Nadi 3 8 9 14 15 20 21 26 27
Madhya Nadi 4 7 10 13 16 19 22 25 1
Sesha Nadi 5 6 11 12 17 18 23 24 2

These help in understanding the characteristics of a person and his future.
