Planets in Your Kundali

The 9 Vedic planets — Surya, Chandra, Mangal, Budh, Guru, Shukra, Shani, Rahu, Ketu — and what each one governs.

How Planets Are Read in a Kundali

Each graha is read through three lenses: what it signifies naturally (karaka), which houses it rules for your Lagna, and how strong it stands — exalted, debilitated, combust, or supported by friends. The same Shani that delays one chart disciplines another into authority; placement decides which face you meet.

Every dasha period hands one graha the steering wheel of your life for years at a time. Knowing what Surya, Shani, or Rahu governs — and how yours is placed — explains recurring patterns in career, marriage, and health, and points to the specific upay that strengthens or pacifies that graha.

Generate your kundali and check each graha's dignity column — exalted, own sign, friendly, or debilitated — then open the explainers below for the grahas that stand weakest. Those are the placements your current and upcoming dasha periods will press hardest.
