Your Main Planet

Shree Ganeshay Namah

I am back again trying to share the knowledge that I have gained over the past 8-9 months. Even though I am just a neophyte in this business (not commercial) of horoscope reading, I have been quite successful in bringing hopes & smiles back on the faces of dismal people. Yes, my predictions are, kind of, coming true. I am happy that God gave me this gift of learning things related to Astrology so quickly!

Coming back to horoscopes, I am a North Indian, hence I have learnt this style. The South Indian style, even though the original style as indicated by the older texts, has been abandoned by North Indians long ago.

The North Indian horoscope consists of 12 boxes containing numbers (representing the zodiac signs). The number written in upper central box denotes your Lagna Rashi(ascendant) & its master is your main planet. The Main Planet (or the Mukhya Graha) actually represents you as a person! Its strength will denote how successful, good-looking you will be in your life. The planets situated in first box + the planets aspecting(what it means will come later on) it, will also have a deep influence on the individual. 

For each of the Zodiacs I have listed below the main planet hence:-

1. Aries (1) and Scorpio (8) - Mars
2. Taurus (2) and Libra (7) - Venus
3. Gemini (3) and Virgo (6) - Mercury (the above example)
4. Cancer (4) - Moon
5. Leo (5) - Sun
6. Sagittarius (9) and Pisces (12) - Jupiter
7. Capricorn (10) and Aquarius (11) - Saturn

The number in bracket indicates the sign which is present in upper center. For example, the given chart has Mercury as the main planet. If number 7 or 2 were written in the upper center, then the main planet would have been Venus.

The Main planet is bound to give good results to you unless it is extremely badly placed or debilitated (I will come to this later). You should always try to strengthen your main planet if you wanna be extremely successful in your life!

An important point, if your main planet is present within the sign e.g. main planet is Jupiter residing in Sagittarius Lagna or just opposite to it (in Gemeni), that person is bound to be extremely lucky (lest some major defect in horoscope affecting adversely). E.g. Sachin Tendulkar is born with Virgo ascendant with Mercury (its master) in Pisces aspecting it.

Bye for now, God Bless & take care!
