Planet Overview in Vedic Astrology – Meaning, Karaka & Effects | Jyotishasha

In Vedic astrology, planets (Grahas) are the core forces that shape a person’s life. Each planet represents specific qualities, responsibilities, and life areas. Understanding planetary roles helps in interpreting personality traits, life events, and future trends accurately.

Planets in Vedic astrology are cosmic energies that influence human life through their placement, strength, and timing. There are nine main planets—Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu—each governing different aspects of life.

The effect of planets is always judged in relation to Lagna (Ascendant) and Moon Rashi. While Lagna shows physical and life direction, Moon reflects mental and emotional responses. Planetary results become meaningful only when analyzed through these two references.
