Navagraha — The Nine Planets

The Navagraha are the nine “graspers” of Vedic astrology — the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn, together with the two lunar nodes Rahu and Ketu. Each graha governs a domain of life and gives results according to its strength and placement in your chart, and each has its own remedy — a beej mantra, gemstone, weekday and presiding deity. Choose a graha to learn its significance, effects and remedies.
