Planets’ effect and their combinations with twelve houses of astrology
The nine planets in astrology are similar to the planets in our solar system. All planets revolve around the Sun. If you consider all twelve houses as a circle then the planets jump on the circle crossing different houses. But this movement is not linear for anyone. Their position in different houses will map out the planets effects on us.

The first house is important in the birth chart named Ascendant or Lagna. This is considered the House of the body, beginning of life, looks, body, individuality, and much more. Sun is the ruler of this house and holds prominence over it. Sun is also considered a father figure, and ruler of the celestial bodies. This house refers to the first Zodiac Sign Mesha Rashi or Ares as described in SUVICH : The real astrologyin detail. The Sun also represents the soul and provides energy.
The Moon
While Sun is considered the father figure among planets in vedic astrology, Moon is considered the Mother figure. The moon affects our mind, calmness, etc. It is also considered to have a heavy effect on our water, ocean, seas, reservoirs, rivers, etc. This is not only astrologically believed but also scientifically proven s we have seen the moon affecting tides all around the world. Moon is the exact opposite on the birth chart of a person as the Sun fuels and increases the energy on Moon.
The Mercury
In our Vedic astrology, Mercury is considered the symbol of Intellectuality. Mercury holds a lot of solid aspects related to different facets of life. It affects a person’s logical capability and his ability to make difficult calculations in his head, assessing a situation faster than others. Strong mercury also means excellence in mathematics. It also enhances the ability to communicate yourself better also the knowledge of astronomy as well.

Though it is certainly not a bad thing if Mars is affecting a person positively. People in Armies or Police etc. gain high recognition in their duties because of a strong Mars. It also helps you fight aggressively to protect your loved ones.

It is the ruler of Pieces and Sagittarius and to some extent affects Cancer and Capricorn.
The Saturn
Saturn is a highly revered planet in Hindu mythology and astrology. This planet represents Justice. Saturn is high in Libra and low in Ares and also the ruler of Aquarius. Saturn is also a slow-moving planet and that is why justice is sometimes get delayed. It is believed that Saturn decides and weighs your Good and Bad deeds and judge you accordingly. We also experience Shani Ki sadhe saati and Dhaiya because of these judgements only.
We have seen how important these planets are in our life. Along with these planets, we also have the 27 vedic nakshatras which contribute to our daily life and affect it. These Nakshatras are considered the creation of Prajapati Daksha who made the God Moon marry all 27 and give them their place as a cluster of stars that affect and contribute to the handling of the Earth.
