The planets of Jyotish in Western Glyph Form on colored spheres (copyrighted). Explanation The planets in Jyotish do not include the three outer planets used in Western or Tropical Astrology. Some Jyotishis do use the outers due to training they received usually in earlier Tropical Astrological exposure. However, in most Vedic texts they are not mentioned. This includes Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Also, the five major a steroids used in Western Astrology by many, namely Chiron, Pallas, Ceres, Vespa, and Juno, are not used in jyotish or vedic astrology either, unless one brings them, again, from previous tropical exposure, where they are used. Above is a list of the planets used in Vedic Astrology (Jyotish). You can see the signs or rashis that they own, the sex of each planet as it operates in Jyotish, though the Gods themselves are generally all male deities. You can see which houses from it's position each planet aspects. Then there's the Sanskrit name of each of t he grahas or planets, then the main significations that planet rules over, which is also called it's "karakatwa" or "Karakas" which means "astrological significations".

Explanation The moon is in one of the 27 nakshatras at the time of birth, and furthermore, it is in one of the 4 quarters of that nakshatra, ie, one fourth of 13 deg 20 min is 3 deg and 20 min., and so the moon is in one of these sub sectors of the nakshatra, called "padas" of the nakshatra. So the pada syll able determines how the name selected for the child should begin. For example, if the moon is in the 1st quarter of Satabishak, then the name should start with "Go", l ike "Govinda" or "Gosai" etc. This practice of Nam Karan or name giving ceremony generally uses these j yotish principles as the guiding light.
