Technically Sun is a star and Moon a Satellite of earth, however, for all practical purposes astrologershave been treating them at par with other planets. Astrology is a scienccbasedon apparent motion of these planets vis-a-visEarth. Later the ancientHindu astrologers addedtwo nodesof Moon -Rahu [<16] and Ketu [\] also to this famity, making to tally nine (cr{E). The Wastern astrologers do not accept Rahu (<rg) and Ketu (tg) as planets although more-and-moreof them are now giving attention to them. In thd last two centuries, three more planets have beendiscovered with the aid of advanced instruments and are receivingthe attention of western astrologers. They are uranus or Hershel,Neptune and Pluto. The Hindu astrologers have explorcd diffe,rentplanets exten-' sively from a number of anglesto find out their influences and roles on the lives of individuatsand societies as a whole in this human wort*- They have been divided and classifiedon different bases. An insightinto the following tableswill give an idea of their labour.

There is one more division of the planetsi.e., (i) arg (Mineral or static objects), (ii) 1e (Roots or Plant-life), and (iii) iffE (Living objectsother than plants). Sun and Mars are wrg(Mineral), Moon and Saturn {er (Root) and Jupiter and Venus dte (Living objects). Mercury is a mixture of all the three. According to Parashara*<rrR,Moon, Mars, Saturn and Rahu minerals [mg], Sun and Venusroots [1e] and Mercury and are [rE] Jupiter living objects [fi<]. Amongst the fbur Vedas[iE], Jupiterrepresents Rigveda[iq], Venus Yajurveda [q1{c], Mercury Atharvaveda taq{Qq1 and Mars Samaveda [wticl. Mercury is a beneficwhen alone or conjoined with beuefics, but a maleficwhen conjoinedwith.or aspected by malefics. Bri'ghter Moon is benefic while Darker Moon is malefic. But accordingto someastrologersMercury and Moon are natural benefics. According to WesternSystem,waxing Moon (moving from New Moon to Full Moon) is a beneficand waning Moon (moving from Futl Moon to New Moon) is a malefic. Western astrologersconsider Rahu l<16l as beneficand [t-g] as malefic. Someastrologers do not acceptbirds (Aves)as separatespecies and include Sun in quadrupeds and Mercury in bipeds. srF&F +ri. This is a method to find 9ut whether Ashtakavarga.. a planet transiting through a particular house or sigir will give favourableor unfavourableresults. , Accordingto this method, eachplanet and also the Aicendant, is capableof throwing beneficial dots on certain houses from its houseof position. The number of such dots is different for cach planet. For example, Sun bas 48 beneficialdots, Moon 49, Mars 39, Mercury 54, Jupiter 56, Venus 52 and Saturn 39. Their total comesto 337. In someareas linessubstitute dots. Suppose we have to find out Ashtakavarga (a{safi +i) of Sun.

The third part to the sign fifth from the fifth sign i.e., the ninth sign from the first sign and its ruler' In other words, the three trine signs of the sign whose decanates are under consideration,form the basis of decanates. some western astrologcrs also attach a lot of importance to the decanates. Different decanateswhich are thirty six in number, eignify different parts of the body also. They are :

In the odd signs, they follow this order while in the even signs,it is reversed.

K r ishnamur t hi Paddhat i [lsqfe rcFa]. There is yet another basis for the division of a sign. The Zodiac has been divided by the astrologersinto 12 equal signs of 30" each. It has also been divided by the Indian astrologers into 27 equalconstellations of l3o 20'each. Each sub-division is further sub-dividedinto 4 equal parts or quarters [qc,s{ur]of 3"20' each which makesthe number of such sub-divisions108. Thus one sign accomodatesnine constellation sub-divisions. Actually this is the basis of the Navamsa (miw) division According to some Hindu astrologers, a Navamsa fr<in] chart is more important than a natal chart. But the constellation can be sub.dividedin proportion to the number of years allotted to the nine planets in fffirt <qrr [Vimshottari Dasa or t20 year cycle Period]. Such sub-divisions would be uneven,the shortestbeing Sun's sub division (40') while the longestbeing Venus's sub-division(2'13'20"). This kind of sub-division is the basisof Bhukti (nFc)or sub-perio{also. Any planet, posited in any of the sub-divisions,would be influenced not only by the sign lord, but by the constellation lord and the sub-constellation lord or sub.lord also.. That will determine
