Vedic astrology is an important tool to study planetary alignments and their impact on human life. Our ancestors had done deep research for thousands of years before handing us this precious knowledge of the stars.

The seven planets and the two shadow planets including the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu, control our lives differently. We are born in a particular planetary alignment, as seen from our natal chart or the birth chart. Depending on our past life karma we either enjoy a lot of comfort, support, and luxuries, or we might end up struggling on account of our bad karma.

For most humans, we have a mix of good and bad phases in life. Some planets in particular are responsible for bringing peace and prosperity into our lives while some bring in more struggle and competition. Jupiter is known to give abundance and growth, while Saturn gives delays and miseries. Planets like Jupiter, Moon, Mercury, and Venus are soft and reduce struggle in certain areas of life depending on the placement. While Saturn, Mars, Sun, and Ketu bring more struggles and difficulties depending on their placement.

Rahu is one planet that is a natural malefic and yet it gives an extreme amount of material success in today’s world. Rahu gives ambition and passion for easy money and huge success. When well disposed in the chart, Rahu gives abundance and wealth. But being a natural malefic, Rahu gives success with certain disadvantages. The wealth and success given by Rahu are unstable. Rahu gives greed and illusion. In its influence, the person takes shortcuts and can end up messing everything up if there are no benefic aspects on Rahu.

But these are just a glimpse of what astrology can reveal about your future. It’s such an extraordinary knowledge that it can reveal almost everything about you. It can tell you if you will be rich or poor…if you will be successful in life or not…it can tell about your married life and love life. But for such extraordinary predictions, one must be fully acquainted with this subject.
