Introduction
The session is kicking off with a discussion on planets and their various attributes. This includes things like whether they're considered fixed or moveable, their gender, the element they represent, and their connection to the three doshas. Basically, setting the stage for understanding how each planet has its own unique vibe.
Planetary Attributes
Some planets are considered moveable, while others are fixed. The Sun, Jupiter, and Saturn are the fixed ones, giving a sense of stability. On the flip side, the Moon, Mars, and Venus are moveable, suggesting change and adaptability. Mercury is a bit of both, considered "dual" in nature.
Planets and Numbers
Each planet has a number associated with it. The Sun gets number one, and so does the Moon. Mars is linked to number nine. Mercury claims number five, while Jupiter's got control over number three. Venus is all about number six, and Saturn rules number eight. Rahu represents number four, and Ketu gets number seven.
Planets and Days of the Week
The seven planets also govern the seven days of the week. The Sun rules Sunday, also known as "Aviva." The Moon takes charge of Monday, or "Somvar." Mars is in charge of Tuesday, called "Mangalvar." Mercury governs Wednesday, or "Budhwar." Jupiter rules Thursday, or "Brihaspativar." Venus controls Friday, or "Shukravar," and Saturn lords over Saturday, or "Shanivar."
Planets and Plants
Planets also have associations with different types of plants and trees. The Sun represents timber trees, the kind used for building houses and furniture. The Moon is linked to trees that produce milky or juicy substances, like rubber or coconut trees. Mars is associated with plants having bitter juices, like neem. Mercury is about trees with sweet or scented smells, like sandalwood. Jupiter governs all fruit-bearing trees and plants, while Venus is connected to flowering plants and trees. Lastly, Saturn represents dry or thorny plants and trees.
