In our Hindu┬аAstrology, there are┬аnine Planets/Grahas. These are Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn. Rahu and Ketu are astronomical points where the Moons orbit intersects the apparent path of the Sun around the earth. Rahu and Ketu are also called chhaya graha.
Navagraha┬аare nine heavenly bodies (as well as deities) that influence human life on Earth in┬аHinduism┬аand┬аHindu astrology.┬аThe term is derived from┬аnava┬а(Sanskrit:┬ардирд╡┬а"nine") and┬аgraha┬а(Sanskrit:┬ардЧреНрд░рд╣┬а"planet, seizing, laying hold of, holding"). Note that┬аBhudevi┬а(Earth),┬аUranus┬аand┬аNeptune┬аare not considered as nine direction graha.┬аThe┬аseven days of the week┬аin the┬аHindu calendar┬аalso correspond with the Navagraha, and are┬аnamed accordingly┬аin various languages of the Indian subcontinent.
The nine planets (Surya, Chandra, Shukr, Budh, Brihaspati, Shukr, Shani, Rahu and Ketu) have different locations, positions, vehicles and symbols. Come, today we talk about the nine planets because according to the astrologer the position of the planets has a special importance in our life.
