The
planets are the most important influences in Vedic Astrology and are the key to
understanding your birth chart. Their influences on individuals must be looked
at in relation to the signs and houses in order to unlock how the planetary
influence manifests for you. This astrology stuff is pretty complicated!
A
great place to start if you are interested in this topic is by learning what
the planets represent. Did you know that each day of the week has a specific
planetary influence? A simple way
to start understanding each planet is to honor them on their respective day of
the week! You can do a related
yoga practice, use mantra, or even wear a certain color. This allows you to
begin to get a “feel” for the planets, what they represent. Here are some
useful things you can do each day of the week.
