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!

  3. Hi Vikas,

    My DoB 16th Oct. 1978.

    I would be highly grateful to you.

    Thank you.

  4. Dear Dilipji,

    Believe me, I am also a layman and just trying to disseminate what I have learnt so far. And thanks a lot for all the good words.

    Your main planet is Mercury and Atmakaraka planet is Sun, hence your Ishtadev must be Sun God. You can also worship Lord Shiv (based on discussion at http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2012/07/child-birth10.html).

    It seems that you are having problems (health?) since late 2008, even though you have a very promising chart (Jupiter exalted and Venus in own house).

    regards,
    Vikas.

  5. Hey Vikas,

    Thank you so much for your reply. I hope, I can learn some modesty from you. :)

    I had met an astrologer in India, he had said my isht dev is Shree Hanuman.

    He had his own temple of Hanumanji and used to ask people to come their and do abhishek.. but he never used to ask for money and it has helped me alot to prosper in my career life. I always used to wonder, did he said me isht dev as Hanumanji just to bring all of us to his temple.?!


    Touchwood! I don't have any health problems, maybe worse condition of acidity nothing else other than that.

    Thank you so much for your swift reply :)

    I loved your other blog as well. you write so good. I could visualise all the love story.

    Take care n Stay Blessed

  6. Dear Dilipji,
    Thanks a lot once again for all the praises for my blogs and me. Your encouraging words are golden for me. As you can see this topic of determining Ishta Dev always confuses me so I try to re-read the post as I mentioned earlier.
    It's is really nice to know you are having great health and doing good in life. It means that Ju and Ve are helping you a lot! May Hanumanji grant you all the success you desire!

  8. HI Ashish,

    Your main planet is Mercury which is getting weak in D9. Your Sun is also weak.
    Strengthen your Sun and Mercury for better results. leave all non-veg and smoking if you do, immediately.

  12. Hi Shivam,

    Firstly I am not a professional astrologer so I can't really guess your Ishta Dev with complete confidence. Your main planet is Mercury and most probably your Ishta Dev is Lord Vishnu. You can land up in government job but I am not sure of of IES. Work very hard for that. Your job will involve communication with people and also technical creativity. All the Best...V.

    1. hello Vikas
      i am very much satisfied with your answer,i have natural inclination towards sri ram.
      Will you tell me after how much time there is a condition of luck starts for me ....time for 'BHAGYODYA' ?

      Delete
    2. Hi Shivam...actually your good time has already started. You will gain mostly from your elder siblings and through network of your friends. You will have a better period starting March 2017 when you will start your Ju-Ve dasa. You will gain most when you are in south west from your birthplace (specially far from birthplace). Better days come in when you turn 33.
      Drink water in silver vessel and do remedies for Moon and Mercury.

      best...V.

    Time Of Birth:- 21:56
    Place of Birth:- Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.

    Wating for your reply
    Good Day!!

    ReplyDelete
  14. Hi Sanil,

    Your main planet is Venus and your yogkaraka is Saturn. In my humble opinion your ishta dev must be Lord Shiv (or his incarnation Hanumanji). You can also worship Durga Maa. It will be good if you read my post on Child Birth...10. In that I have explained how to determine the Inshta dev.

    best...V.
