The planets of Jyotish in Western Glyph Form on colored spheres (copyrighted).

Explanation

The planets in Jyotish do not include the three outer planets used in Western or
Tropical Astrology. Some Jyotishis do use the outers due to training they received
usually in earlier Tropical Astrological exposure. However, in most Vedic texts they are
not mentioned. This includes Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Also, the five major asteroids
used in Western Astrology by many, namely Chiron, Pallas, Ceres, Vespa, and Juno, are
not used in jyotish or vedic astrology either, unless one brings them, again, from
previous tropical exposure, where they are used.

Above is a list of the planets used in Vedic Astrology (Jyotish). You can see the signs or
rashis that they own, the sex of each planet as it operates in Jyotish, though the Gods
themselves are generally all male deities. You can see which houses from it's position
each planet aspects. Then there's the Sanskrit name of each of the grahas or planets,
then the main significations that planet rules over, which is also called it's "karakatwa"
or "Karakas" which means "astrological significations".

Explanation

The moon is in one of the 27 nakshatras at the time of birth, and furthermore, it is in one of the 4 quarters of that
nakshatra, ie, one fourth of 13 deg 20 min is 3 deg and 20 min., and so the moon is in one of these sub sectors of the
nakshatra, called "padas" of the nakshatra. So the pada syllable determines how the name selected for the child should
begin. For example, if the moon is in the 1st quarter of Satabishak, then the name should start with "Go", like "Govinda"
or "Gosai" etc. This practice of Nam Karan or name giving ceremony generally uses these jyotish principles as the
guiding light.
