Navagraha: Nine Mighty Planets Dominating all Birth Charts

As per Hindu astrology, nine mighty planets affect every individual’s life. They are part and parcel of every birth chart. You can easily perceive Surya (Sun), Chandra (Moon), Mangal (Mars), Budha (Mercury), Guru (Jupiter), Shukra (Venus), Shani (Saturn), Rahu (Head), and Ketu (Tail) sitting in your birth charts in different twelve houses. We call these Planets Navagraha. They control your life with negative and positive results. When planets are in good places, they are harbingers of happiness and good fortune.

When planets are in the wrong places, they bring negative energy and make things quite tough for natives. There are many Navagraha temples in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Assam, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh in India where devotees can worship all planets.  Read the content ahead and find out Navagraha benefits, elements, mantra, and ways to please planets.

Understanding the Role of Navgrahas in Kundli

The two major components of an individual’s kundli include Planets and Houses. There are a total of 12 houses in an individual’s kundli and 9 planets. These planets are positioned in these houses based on the location, time and date of birth of an individual. The placement of these planets in one’s kundli is what determines the life of an individual. For each planet, some houses are considered as lucky and auspicious, known as friendly houses.

However, there are also some houses that are considered to be inauspicious and unlucky, known as enemy houses. Lastly, some are referred to as neutral houses. When a planet is positioned in a friendly house, it tends to give positive results to an individual. However, on the other hand, if it is placed in an enemy house, it tends to provide an individual with negative results. Moreover, in addition to this, the strong and weak aspect of the planet also affects the outcomes it provides to an individual. Having a strong planet provides positive outcomes. However, a weak planet may cause obstacles in life. 

Navagraha Benefits for a Positive Life

All navagrahas offer lots of benefits if they are placed in the right places in your birth chart. They can give adverse results and negativity if they sit in the wrong houses. They also form good and bad yogas that affect human life in different ways. From rajayog to kaal sarp and from dhan yoga to graham yoga, there is a long list of yogas that are found in all birth charts. Overall, these are the best benefits that all nine planets offer to natives as per the best placement in birth charts. These include:
