The Nine Planets (Navagraha) in Astrology
In our Hindu Astrology, there are nine 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 are nine heavenly bodies (as well as deities) that influence human life on Earth in Hinduism and Hindu astrology. The term is derived from nava (Sanskrit: नव "nine") and graha (Sanskrit: ग्रह "planet, seizing, laying hold of, holding"). Note that Bhudevi (Earth), Uranus and Neptune are not considered as nine direction graha. The seven days of the week in the Hindu calendar also correspond with the Navagraha, and are named accordingly in 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.
