About Planets
The Indian Astrology distinguishes the destiny and
traits of an individual that are associated with the
positions of the planets and the date, time and place of
birth. The Indian astrology considers the movement of
two luminaries namely the Sun and the Moon, five major
planets (Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Venus and Jupiter) and
the two nodal points of the Moon i.e Rahu and Ketu.
Mercury
Mercury is a neutral planet that changes according to
its placement in signs and houses. It is the nearest
planet to Sun and thus is restless, fast changing and
fickle in nature. It rules education, writers,
businessman, intestines, lungs and nervous system. Both
Jupiter and Mercury represent human intelligence,
Mercury indicates an immature side of intelligence as
compared to the more mature one of Jupiter. It rules all
means of communication and intermediation. Body parts
indicated by Mercury: Mercury rules over the arms, ear
hearing system, and the nervous system. It is a dual
natured planet and owns the dual natured signs, Virgo
and Gemini.
