This section exclusively deals with the nava-grahas or nine planets effects on mankind, to enlighten people of the world over, and help them leading a life of peace, happiness, success, and well-rounded prosperity. The good and bad, and positive and negative influences of each of these nine planets are results of mainly the factors like the specific location of any planet in the birth chart, its nature or quality, influences of other planets on any particular planet, etc. In general, planets possessing Sattva nature are Jupiter, Sun, and Moon; planets bearing Rajas nature are Venus and Mercury; while planets with Tamas characteristics are Mars, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu. Again, in general, the benefic and malefic nature of the planets is as follows:

Sun: This is the most significant planet in the solar system and the Vedic astrology. Full of masculine energy, this planet rules over the fiery Zodiac Sign of Leo. The qualities associated with this planet are leadership, independence and individuality, willpower, virtues and purity, and so on. Ruby is the most famous gemstone for Sun. Pearl is the main gemstone for the Moon.

Moon: This planet is associated with emotions and the mind, feminine energies and nature, beauty, fertility, happiness, gregarious nature, etc. This lunar deity rules over the water sign Cancer of the Zodiac. The emotional and mental stability and well-being of a person largely depends on the location of the Moon in his/her birth chart.
