Astrological Days,Signs, Planets and HoroscopesDays, Signs, Planets This book is being written without dealing with the mathematical part. If you read it step by step and then see your own and others’ horoscope, you will be able to understand, technically, the astrological discussion. You will also get familiar with the terminology of Hindu astrology. Days of the Week 1. To do that remember the first lesson in three parts: start counting the weekdays – unday, !onday, Tuesday, "ednesday, Thursday, #riday and aturday. These se$en days represent se$en planets – un, !oon, !ars, !ercury, %upiter, &enus and aturn. 2. In Hindu astrology we make use of two other planets, called the shadowy planets, called 'ahu and (etu. This gi$es you a total of nine planets. It is why we ha$e the famous navagraha stotra or worship of nine planets. Note : In Hindu astrology we do not use, )ranus *Herschel+, ,luto and -eptune. In the scheme of stotra these planets ha$e no place, though an .merican has gi$en mantras for these three planets also in his book which is not gi$en in any book of Hindu astrology we ha$e or know of. Note : -ow, also remember the sacred number /01 which are the number of beads we ha$e in the garland, of tulasi or rudraksha with which we do our 2apam. 3. The part of the first lesson is: there are 27 Nakshatras or .sterisms or 3unar mansions that we make use of in Hindu astrology. It is a $ery remarkable, brilliant and subtle di$ision which is being e4plained later. 5ach nakshatra has four e6ual parts. .gain you will see that twenty7se$en multiplied by four gi$es you one hundred and eight number */01+ which are the number of beads we ha$e in the garland, of tulasi or rudraksha with which we do our 2apam. -ow see all this in the table gi$en here: Name of Day /.

Note : 'ahu and (etu cannot be seen through any telescope like other planets. Yet, how effecti$e and accurate is their use in Hindu astrology clearly pro$es that the ancient rishis combined their knowledge of physical sciences with metapysical knowledge which we call Yogic. "n Astrology #esson 2 $e $ill learn a%o!t Nakshatras and do some astrological e&ercises to deepen o!r !nderstanding of the concepts $e ha'e learnt. Nakshatras -ow you must know something about the twenty7se$en nakshatras. 5ach nakshatra takes /; degrees and 90 minutes uniformly. If /;A90 is multiplied by 9@ it gi$es you ;?0 which is the total e6ual to the twel$e houses referred to earlier. There are two methods of tabulating these -akshatras. One method shows the degrees of Nakshatras from 0 to360 and the other shows the degrees occupied by each Nakshatra in each sign. !ars. . !oon. %upiter. un.(riendship and )nmities of Planets Allotment of *odiac Ho!ses for Planets The problem is to allot twel$e houses. !ercury. &enus and aturn. without partitioning a single one to se$en planets.@/B house.
