Learn Vedic Astrology

A growing library of Vedic astrology (Jyotish) placements, one graha at a time. Each planet is read through all 12 houses and all 12 signs, so you can look up exactly the placement you came for, from the Sun in the 10th house to the Moon in Scorpio.

Every page explains the general placement first, from classical Jyotish rules, and then names what changes it in a real chart: the sign the planet occupies, the houses it rules for your rising sign, its strength, and the aspects it receives. That is where the general rule ends and your own chart begins, so nothing here is a blanket prediction.

Method

These pages use the whole-sign house system, which is why the same planet can be read in a different house here than on some other sites. Whole sign vs Bhava Chalit houses explains the difference and which system VyomaVeda uses.
