In Vedic astrology, Mars is known as Mangala, Kuja, or Angaraka—names that evoke auspiciousness, desire, and a fiery red energy. Among the Navagrahas (nine planets), Mars stands as the celestial general, the great warrior of destiny, symbolizing drive, courage, and resolve. Yet beneath the overt power lies a tapestry of fascinating mythology, echoing Shiva’s discipline, the strength of the Earth, and the subtle balance between destruction and dharma.

In Vedic astrology, the Moon—reverently called Chandra or Soma—is not merely a celestial body. It is the cosmic embodiment of mind, intuition, emotion, and nourishment. Chandra is the second most important graha (planet) after the Sun in the astrological pantheon and is fundamental to the calculation of the birth chart (Janma Rashi or Moon Sign). But behind the luminescent presence of the Moon in our night sky, a tapestry of profound and enchanting myths unfolds, echoing through Vedic hymns, Puranic legends, and astrological symbolism.

In classical Vedic lore, the Sun is known as Surya, the dazzling source of life and divine order. He is the foremost among the Navagrahas (nine planets), and revered in the Vedas as the soul (Atman) of the universe, the cosmic eye, and the eternal witness. Surya’s birth is traced to the sage Kashyapa and Aditi, the mother of the gods. As the oldest of the 12 Adityas (solar deities), Surya’s presence lights up the cosmos and sustains existence.
