THE PLANETS AND THEIR MEANING The planets govern different significations in the charts according to their nature. Maharishi Parashara says the follwing: “The Sun is the soul of all. The Moon is the mind, Mars is one’s strength, Mercury is the speech giver while Jupiter confers klowledge and happiness. Venus governs semen (potency) while Saturn indicates grief.” This list would indicate the basic significations and roles of the different planets in the chart. The Sun represents God, so it will also represent the divine spark or the soul within us. But he may also represent the Ahamkara or false ego, pride and desire to control and dominate. His counterpart, the Moon represents the mind, emotions and feelings. Mars indicates one’s strength, determination and fearlessness. Mercury indicates speech, communication and travel as well. Venus indicates semen and sex life, and also arts, beauty and enjoyment. Jupiter gives wealth, wisdom, happiness and children, Saturn usually gives pain, grief, losses and represents old age also. He is the most malefic planet as compared to Jupiter, who is the most benefic. Rahu indicates the negative karma, and usually manifests as disease, sin, poison, illusion ete. Ketu is his counterpart, and he signifies Moksha or liberation, and also may give spiritual knowledge, although he sometimes cuts attachments very abruptly thereby causing pains also.
