*Welcome to Fun with Numerology*

Numerology discussed below is more a belief, than science. Numbers, chants, music etc are believed or observed to create vibrations which affect us. That is the reason some insist that chants have to be done in original language. Belief is based on limited observation/experience by few or many without any cause-effect relationship. Variation in accuracy is an issue. Different interpretations for the same is another issue. Belief is much stronger than science or logic.

Description and Nature of Nine Planets

1. Sun: King, Masculine, Royal, Individualistic, Ego, Intelligence, Truthful, Structure, Original, Cruel, Image-conscious, Attention-seeking, power hungry, political mind, Stable, proud, the supporter of arts and tradition.
The vibrant and glorious sun energy represented in a human form. He rides on a single wheel chariot with seven horses, which represent the seven colors of the rainbow. His charioteer Arun is the pre-maturely hatched and hence handicap son of Vanita, the mother of all the bird species in our world. His colors are Orange-Yellow. Thanks to Pieter Weltevrede for providing the images of each planet for this short analysis on Vedic Hindu numerology Charts.

2. Moon: Queen, Royal, Feminine aspect, Caring, Sensitive, Ever-changing, Creativity and Arts, Traditionally has a Supportive function, Loves being at home, Diplomatic, Waxing and Waning hence moody, Clever, think on their feet.
The gentle moon on his animal vehicle, the fickle-minded, sensitive and symbol of spirituality, the deer in Vedic Hindu numerology Chart. The moon in Hindu mythological stories is married to 27 wives, each of which actually represents the 27 nakshatras in the sky (A more detailed breakdown of sky than the 12 zodiac signs, Each nakshatra consists of 13 20 degrees whereas one zodiac sign is 30 degrees (making a 12 X 30 = 360 circle)). Romantic and prone to indulging in sensual pleasures the moon is cursed to wax and wane as he was only partial to one beloved wife, Rohini, in which Nakshatra he still remains most exalted in astrology. The stories were woven around facts and data to make them easy to remember and so that they became visual, symbolic representations of that particular energy.

3. Jupiter: Teacher, Talkative, Creative, Prime-minister, Giver, Deep knowledge on particular subjects rather than knowing little on many subjects, weakness for sex, happy, independent, positive, religious/spiritual, creative, critical, masculine.
The guru of the devtas/angels, Jupiter or Brihaspati in Sanskrit is considered one of the most benefic and auspicious planets in Vedic Hindu numerology Chart. Extremely learned and knowledgeable, his universal role is to make sure the balance of good and evil keeps tilting towards the positive. He rides on a stable, royal and revered animal-vehicle, the elephant. Jupiter signifies progress and prosperity. Guru is the divine guidance that takes us from the darkness into the light. The good advice, the dear friend, the helpful father or the devoted mother, a caring sister, a strict teacher, a correction rocket, lady luck, a protector and savior, a good doer, one s whose intentions are good. Jupiter is truly a great savior and in the world (physical, mental and spiritual) fraught with pitfalls and traps.

4. Rahu: Unpredictable, rebellious, disrespectful, materialistic, practical, antagonistic, accident-prone, disciplined, devoted, out-of-the-box, unconventional, neutral gender, non-conformist, secretive in Vedic Hindu numerology Chart.
Rahu, was born when the oceans of milk were being churned for universal treasures by the demons and angels alike. Both sides needed each other for this churning to take place, which produced amongst other gifts, the nectar of the immortality, Amrit.
Rahu, a demon/asur keen to have a taste of it, disguised himself and crossed onto the side of the devtas/angels and stood in the line where it was being distributed but just as he took a sip of it, Vishnu, the god of preservation, recognized his disguise and cut his head off. The demons head is Rahu. Immortal he did become as people still write about him, worship him and want to know more about him in 2016! Even a demon can be worshiped as a God, the line of good vs. evil was again redrawn.
The ferocious tiger is the animal-vehicle of Rahu. Imagine the mastery that Rahu has over the craft of illusion that he was able to trick the nimble and alert divine beings that dwell in heaven, the devtas, into making him immortal. A master of disguise, a trickster, a magician, a great movie director all remind one of Rahu s powers of illusion.

5. Mercury: Youthful, prince/princesses, communicative, good at business, neutral gender, problem to maintain relationships, bored easily, nervous, problem to concentrate, easily distracted, can come across as superficial, not so great health, intelligent, entertaining.
Evergreen, knight on a shining amour, Mercury has a dual personality thus represented by the Lion and the Elephant, both of which are his animal-vehicle. In this picture he is shown as a lion having an elephant trunk. These two represent the fierce and the calm side of mercury personalities.
The mercurial nature of this planet reflects in their inability to perform spiritual practices, which require a lot of patience and concentration, as they are ever changing, bored easily and love new things. Born from the affair of the Moon (mind) with Jupiter s (knowledge) wife, Tara, the illegitimate child mercury (intellect) can be very shrewd and cunning when required. He is the planet for logic, mathematics, business, communication, writing, luck, money, entertainment and calculation.

6. Venus: Slow, female, luxury, beauty, lacks discipline, poor health, love the good things in life, problem to say no to people, problems in relationships, pleasing, sensual, romantic.
Venus, or Shukracharya (Shukra in Sankskrit translates as semen, and Archarya means teacher, a teacher of the art of love ) is the guru of the demons/asurs. He specializes in the technique called Sanjeevani Vidya that can bring people back to life and he is only one who has this knowledge.
It is interesting to note that Venus, the planet goes through a very interesting visibility cycle, appearing for 263 days each as a morning star and then an evening star disappearing for a few weeks in between and then like being re-birthed again reinstating his connection with cycles of birth, death, re-birth and the vital force semen in the male body.
A scientist held in great esteem, He advises the demons on warfare, medicinal herbs, strategy and philosophy. Venus is the most beautiful planet in the sky, and no doubt represents beauty, romance, sex and the arts. There is no land animal that is more elegant than the horse, how apt for it to be selected as the animal-vehicle for the planet of beauty. Venus had a troubled childhood and developed a long-standing enmity with Vishnu and the Devtas/Angels. So he is in some ways the atheist scientist that is always trying to deny the existence of God and defend the might of science.

7. Ketu: Spiritual, directionless (no head only body), philosophical, artistic, creative, writers, doubting nature, detached, occult, suspicious nature, neutral gender, intuitive, inventive, obsessive, always asking the question, why .
Ketu, is the headless body of the same demon that stole a few drops of the nectar of immorality. Since there is a body with no head, Ketu dominated people are directionless, roaming forever in the deep woods of self-realization, on long and never-ending spiritual journeys. Ketu is the planet associated with Moksha or Nirvana or self-realization. The symbol of the fish is considered extremely auspicious in the Vedic Tradition.
The fish symbolism can also be found in the sign of Pisces where Ketu happens to rather exhilarated. Ketu is the complete opposite of materialistic Rahu, hence very often spiritual worlds and materialistic worlds have little in common and no connection in fact they are diametrically opposite to each other. Ever heard of a genuine saint that lived in a palace

8. Saturn: King-Maker, Servant, likes to do monotonous jobs, represents the masses, justice-seeking, unfortunate in materialistic sense, occult, mystic, slow, good judge of other people, depressive outlook, dark, neutral gender, wise.
Saturn, the dark lord of the universe is the planet of justice and rules law & order. He is the half- brother of the god of death, Yama, so he gives a near-death experience but wont let you die because then the suffering that one has to undergo would not be possible.
He is the son of the Sun from a shadow-image his real wife created of herself because she was not able to bear the heat of the sun. Saturn grew up with a feeling of injustice having been meted out to his mother. He hates the Sun i.e. authority and went off on his long journey to find his purpose in life, carrying the burden of being the son of an illustrious father until he is blessed by Lord Shiva and appointed the portfolio of Justice.
The animal-vehicle for Saturn is a raven or bird of prey or scavenger or then a black buffalo. Saturn is a planet associated with occult practices, occult-sciences, esoteric matters, penance and mysticism. His strange and mysterious nature and ways makes him one of the most misunderstood planets in Vedic Astrology. Saturn gives us suffering so that we may burn up our Karmas, good or bad, and go closer to God-hood. Unfortunately God would not exist if it weren t for suffering.

9. Mars: action, warrior, idealistic, direct in their talk, no-nonsense, energetic, like sports, commander-in-chief, auspicious, live their spirituality instead of talking about it, masculine, strong, love to say no .
The warrior planet Mars is represented by the fertile red color in Vedic hindu numerology chart. Extremely auspicious and full of energy Mars is a planet associated with fire, anger and brute force. Idealistic and agile at the same time Mars, is associated with Kartikey, the warrior son of Lord Shiva as well as with Hanuman, the monkey-god from the Ramayan, both known to be associated with the animalistic raw energy that loves action versus wasting time thinking things out.
There is an association with land as Mars is the son of the Mother Earth. A Ram is the apt animal-vehicle for Mars always poised in a posture that appears to defy the look before you leap philosophy. Mars is fiery and angry. It is passion, the fire in the belly, energy levels, ability to work hard, intensity of the stomach acid, health, accidents, martial life, traditionally a malefic unless well placed.
Nine is a whole number. Anything added to nine equals that number itself. Nine remains unaffected.
