The Influence of Planets is a composition illustrating the impact of nine planets on human life as defined by Jyotish Shastra. The law of progress is the law of life and hence everybody wants to know the progress of his life and its future. There is one way to know it. It is astrology.
Mars is the planet of active force, courage, energy and the go-ahead spirit. People who are dull, blunt and indolent can be greatly benefited by wearing the gem red coral in a gold ring on Anamika.
The beneficial rays of Mars are also essential for the early settlement of the marriage of one's daughter. The essential requirement of capturing the magical influence of Mars is to prepare the ring only when Mars will be in Capricorn or in Aries, during the Gochara movement. Mars acquires considerable strength and power when it is posited in Capricorn (its exalted sign) and also in Aries.
Its strength and power can be tapped and captured if its gem red coral is fitted in gold, copper or silver during the time when it will be in Capricorn or in Aries and if the ring is worn on Tuesday morning. If the ring is made in this way, it becomes a great magical charm which can be used for success in examination, early settlement of marriage of one's daughter, and also for getting a new job.
Mercury governs the intellect and the wisdom. Its gem is the emerald. Mercury is exalted in Virgo. If the emerald is fitted in gold only during the time when Mercury will be at Virgo during the Gochara movement, it could capture and tap the magical powers of Mercury in the ring itself. If the ring is prepared in this way, it becomes a most effective magical charm. The combined use of emerald and red coral on Madhyama and Anamika respectively will work like magic for success in examination and competition.
The Moon is called the mother of all human beings on earth. A mother naturally protects her child in every respect. Moonstone is the gem of the Moon and this is called the life saver and life-giver.
Influence of Planets - THE SUN
Sun is the parent of the solar system, so the Sun represents the father. The Sun and Moon are considered sovereigns. The Sun is the significator of royalty or a high position in any administration. The Sun stands for us as a Symbol of spirit.
The Sun is constructive and creative. The Sun offers us the power of resistance and vitality and it governs the inspiration and expiration i.e., the breath of life. The Sun gives force and self-will and makes one determined and decisive.
The Sun rules the heart. It also represents the right eye in men and the left eye in women. The mouth, spleen, throat and brain are also indicated by the Sun. According to astrology affliction of the Sun by malefic planets causes low or high blood pressure, haemorrhage, and cardiac thrombosis. The constitution will be overheated and bilious. The Sun also denotes cerebral meningitis, eruptions of the face, loss of speech, sharp fevers, typhoid, polypus, bile complaints, and epilepsy.
Sunstroke scorches and diseases in the head. The Sun gives activity and authority, cheerful outlook, good fortune, ambition to achieve great heights optimism, brilliance, sterling qualities and character, and success in worldly affairs.
When the Sun is afflicted the native is likely to suffer from diseases mentioned above and there will be a deficiency in other good significations of the Sun.
Ruby is the stone of the Sun and wearing a Ruby will protect the native from the harmful effects of the Sun's afflictions. But one thing must be carefully kept in mind that persons belonging to Virgo, Capricorn and Pisces ascendants should not wear a Ruby or any of its substitutes, as the Sun would be lord of the lords of inauspicious houses viz., the 12th, the 8th and the 6th respectively. If the Sun is in his own sign in any of these houses then the natives of these ascendants can, however, wear the Sun's stone if absolutely necessary.
THE MOON
According to our ancient Saints, the Moon represents the mind and the mother. The Moon is nocturnal, changeable, cold, moist, and receptive. The Moon governs over impregnation, conception, the birth of a child, the animal instinct, the union and the embryo. It also rules the infant stage of a person and it has a powerful influence on their lives. Afflicted Moon at the time of birth causes ailments frequently and does not allow to have proper growth. The stomach will be upset and frequent vomiting reduces vitality.
Diseases given by an afflicted Moon are eye diseases, lunacy, paralysis, hysteria, epilepsy, beriberi, cold, cough, colic pains, worms, intestinal disorders, tumours, peritonitis, throat troubles, asthma, bronchitis, varicose loins, complications due to excess of drinks, dyspepsia, dysentery, nervous debility, cancer, typhoid etc.
The affliction of the Moon causes cold and fever, indecision, lack of mental balance, a desire to live and spread false rumours, and suffering from anxiety. If Mars afflicts the Moon, the native becomes impulsive, rash and reckless. He also becomes of loose moral character. Affliction by Saturn causes depression,
despondency pessimism and lack of concentration. White Pearl is the gemstone to be used for protection from the consequences of the affliction of the Moon or its ill placement and weakness in a birth chart, Pearl is very useful for mental and lung disorders.
MARS
Mars has much to do with one's ambition and desires. An unafflicted Mars bestows one with quick mental activity and extraordinary muscular strength, great organising ability, power for practical execution, independent spirit, the force of character, strong determination, ambition to come out successful in the material field and leadership in all pursuits. If Mars is afflicted the native becomes reckless, lavish, extravagant, criminal, thief, pervert in sexual life and fanatic in religion or philosophy.
Diseases from which one suffers on account of Mars becoming evil by lordship, occupation or by affliction by a malefic, may be acute fevers, plague, smallpox, chicken pox, measles, inflammatory complaints, burns, the rapture of capillaries, fistula, wounds, cuts, brain fever, haemorrhage, typhoid, ulcer in intestines, hernia, erysipelas, malaria, abortions, bleeding, boils, carbuncles, appendicitis, muscular rheumatism, septic poisoning, tetanus etc.
Red Coral is the gemstone used to enhance the good characteristics and qualities of Mars in the native and to protect him from the evil consequences of the afflicted Mars.
We repeat again that the gemstone for Mars (or any planet) should not be used when it is lord of the 6th, 8th or 12th house and does not own simultaneously an angular (Kendra) or triangular (Trikona) house or is in his own sign in the 6th, 8th or the 12th house. This principle will apply for use of gemstones for all planets and should be carefully kept in mind.
MERCURY
Mercury is a variable, convertible, vacillating and dualistic planet. Mercury rules over the solar plexus and the central nervous system. He gives the native intelligence, capacity to analyse, retentive power and reproductive ability. He gives curiosity to master occult sciences, but he is not steady enough to complete a project.
Also, an afflicted Mercury makes the native a cheat, liar and gambler. An afflicted Mercury becomes the cause of the following diseases: vertigo, lethargy, giddiness in the head, madness, brain troubles, tuberculosis, stammering, defects of memory, dry coughs, an abundance of spittle, gout of hand and feet, leprosy, cancer, diseases of stomach, skin diseases etc.
The native will become perverted, eccentric, unprincipled, inconstant and boastful. 'Mercury in dignity makes the native proficient in mathematics, engineering, accounts, correspondence, etc. If he will take up things seriously, he will achieve success in all his enterprises.
The gemstone to neutralise the evil effects of Mercury and to enhance his good qualities is Emerald.
JUPITER
Jupiter is the significator of children, wealth, Government or King's favours and the grace of God (Dhanakaraka, Santanakaraka, Rajya-kripakaraka and Deva kripakaraka). Jupiter is also the significator of husband in a woman's horoscope.
If Jupiter is a functional as well as a natural benefic in a birth chart, is dignified, is without any affliction and occupies the first, fifth or the ninth house or a Kendra, the life of the native will be full of happiness and he will be blessed with children, wealth, name, fame, success and honour.
Jupiter is a fiery, noble, benevolent, fruitful, jovial, buoyant, optimistic, expansive, positive and dignified planet.
The higher attributes of the mind and the uplift of the soul are governed by Jupiter. Jupiter rules over the liver, tumours, circulation of blood in the arteries and fat in the body. If Jupiter is afflicted, the native will not be a moderate but an extremist. He will be over-generous, extravagant and even lavish.
Over-optimism, false hopes, carelessness, debts, dispute, failure in speculation, gambling and pressure from creditors, worry through children, childlessness, vanity, default and infamy, gluttony and unusual girth, are also the results of an afflicted and badly placed Jupiter.
The diseases that may be caused by afflicted Jupiter are liver complaints, dropsy, jaundice, flatulence, dyspepsia, abscess, disorders of the pancreas, skin troubles, cerebral congestion, catarrh and carbuncles.
The gemstone to be used to protect from the ill effects of an afflicted and inauspiciously placed Jupiter, and to enhance the beneficial influences of a well-placed Jupiter in the birth chart is Yellow Sapphire.
VENUS
According to Indian astrology, Venus governs the gentle and refined attributes. Strong Venus in a chart is a testimony that a native will have an attraction to the other sex early in his life. Venus can bestow on one all comforts enabling one to lead a pleasant life in this world. Venus is the significator for wife and conjugal life in a man's horoscope.
If Venus is afflicted the marriage may be delayed or the married life may be disturbed. Venus governs the eyes, generative system, throat, chin, cheeks, kidneys etc.
Venus is also, after Jupiter, a wealth-giving planet. As already stated above a dignified and unafflicted Venus brings wealth and all kinds of comforts to the native. The diseases caused by an afflicted and inauspiciously placed Venus are diseases of ovaries, affection in the eyes, irregularity in the catamenia, mucous diseases, Bright's disease, cysts, swelling, gout, anaemia, and other complications due to overindulgence in sex, amusements, drinking, eating and venereal diseases.

Saturn is a barren, dry, binding, cold, constant, defensive, hard, nervous and secretive planet.

Plodding, persevering, patiently working, prudence, frugality, economy, saving, endurance, industry, thrift, power to keep secrets, stability, self-control, sense of duty etc., are attributed to a beneficial Saturn. Lazy, lethargic, idle persons are born under the influence of a malefic Saturn.
