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.
Rahu
Actually an imaginary planet, Rahu is instrumental in
strengthening the power and can convert enemies into
friends. It is popularly called the Planet of Success.
It is a node positioned at the meeting point of earth's
trajectory around the Sun and the Moon's trajectory
around the Earth. Rahu is believed to represent the
head of the demon. When Rahu, Sun and Moon are in the
same zodiacal longitude, solar eclipse takes place.
Being a shudra graha, it rules over thieves, witches,
magicians, venom and poison, snakes and thorny bushes,
jails and isolated places, unhabitated places, hypnotists
etc. As Rahu is not a real planet, it does not rule
any zodiac sign.
