Planets and Personality

Hindu astrology pivots around 9 planets including two shadow planets RAHU& KETU. All these nine planets impart a specific flavor to the native’s personality especially when associated with lagna and moon. The 12 signs further add certain unique attributes to the planets. In this article, I am limiting my personality traits based on planets. SUN: A person born under the dominant influence of Sun is usually confident, egoistic, ambitious and assertive. Punctuality, self-respect, mannerism and courtesy are his chief characteristic. He usually gets angry quickly, but it dissipates soon also. Sun is the brightest planet and all other planets disappear, when Sun rises in the east. Similarly, a sun dominated person always wants to be the centre of attraction. That is why such native easily fall prey to flattery and sycophants. He does not like opposition even from his own father. But when sun debilitates in Libra sign, it gives false pride, vanity, lack of manners etc. Moon: A moon dominated person is pure emotional type, who thinks more from His heart than his Mind. Still Moon is a queen, so it has its own share in raising a person to the greatest heights. He is extremely soft, sensitive and feminine. They are born with excellent imaginative and creative talents. Thus dreaming is something worst trait of a moon person. However, they can do very well in art, literature, novels writing, drama and giving service to needy. His love for all natural surroundings, rivers, flowers etc can make him a great environmentalist. He likes to be surrounded by women only to find his mental peace and generally lacks the lust element. Being less practical, lunar individuals are generally not successful as businessmen. Mars: Mars is red and so the blood. Hence a Martian personality can not avoid red in His life. He is an extremely active person both mentally and physically. He does not fear, has inborn tendency to protect and serve the kingdom. That is why many Martian natives are found in defence, police, CBI and other similar departments which require serving for nation. It requires no great trait to deal with this HOT personality. Show him sincerity and honesty and you may ask for his head in return. He loves flattery, and is surrounded by many flatterers who take undue advantage of his generous nature. Venusion women attract him the MOST. However, debilitated mars produces a cruel, thick skinned, quarrelsome person who can even commit murders. Mercury: Mercurian is distinguished by his quick grasping power, intelligence, adaptability and psychic abilities. Nobody has a better knowledge of men and matter than HIM. Along with psychic abilities, he is gifted with a wonderful power of expression with clarity. Due to his sharp intellect, he always looks for short cut methods and easy-to-do things. Mercury is a real businessman because he knows how to sell the things. Being an accurate judge of human nature, he generally shines as lawyer, psychologist and physician. However, in the field of literature, he is successful more as a critic, thinker rather than a poet. Nervousness is something inbuilt in these natives and can fall trap to nervous disorders. Mercury is also a planet of astrology, so one can become astrologer too. Jupiter: Jupiter is the biggest and heaviest planet. It gets reflected in jupiterian personality also. They are broad-mined, philosophical, charitable and very much respected in the society. HIS contact enriches, purifies and uplifts others. No wonder he has many friends and followers who seek his valuable guidance. His ambitions are towards human perfection and he feels the sense of mission in his life. He is charitable to the extent of being extravagant. There are two types of jupiterians. 1) Those who are orthodox and practice all the ceremonies. 2) who are completely atheists and looks for true religion. He is generally voracious eater like mars and very much fond of sweets. Venus: It is jovial, luxury seeker, full of love and very positive planet. A true venusian person gets never disappointed, sad or gets pessimism. He likes to travel a lot for fun and experiencing the different tastes of life. He does not crave for power or authority nor is he very ambitious. Usually surrounded by lot of friends, he never commits suicide. He needs money to indulge in his pleasures and to maintain his decent standards of life. With his aesthetic sense fully developed, the venusian is sure to be a lover of art, music, painting and dancing. The women to this type are very attractive, beautiful and have an immense capability to bear children. If venus is afflicted, the native becomes a reckless romantic fellow and may not keep moral conscience in matter of sex. He is reduced to mere animals that must gratify his passions at any cost. Saturn: Cool, calm and contemplative, the saturanian is born with doubt and suspicion. He generally lacks self confidence and courage. He has mania for minutely examining things before it taking it to be granted. Saturn is a pessimistic planet unless placed in exaltation in aries. He is cold, dry and has little interest in sex. There is deep seated hatred and distrust for society in the heart. The real game is all about getting success through patience and perseverance. Saturanian is master in examining materialistic worth, analyses every option before spending a single paisa. That is why they never fail, once take a decision. He excels in scientific studies due to his probing mind, metaphysics, grammar and occult studies. In worst cases, he can be merciless, critic, disappointed and ruthless murderer. Rahu: Rahu produces a very active and ambitious personality. He may be a goal oriented personality who does not rest before attaining his objectives. Rahu does not care for the means. At best it produces a great social thinker and reformer, politician and scientists. He practices all the outward form of religion and poses himself to be puritan and there are too many darkspots in the private life. In kalyuga, Rahu is the greatest politician. A strongly placed rahu blesses the native with tremendous diplomatic skills. However, under the influence of jupiter, venus or moon, rahu develops a broad philanthropic outlook and works for the good for others. Since rahu is an illusionary planet, it creates illusions regarding the house it occupies. For instance, Rahu placement in lagna brings lot of dissatisfaction in life. Ketu: Ketu is the master of spirituality. A ketu born native is critical, isolated, filled with eccentric thoughts and intuitive. Ketu is also a planet of astrology and hence one can become a great astrologer. He is fond of mysterious things such as UFO (undefined flying objects), mantra, tantra and deep psychological issues. Since ketu also signifies ‘Moksha’, the person is actually detached from material world.
