Sun and Moon are essentially luminaries. Rahu and Kethu are planets, however for the purpose of predictions, all the four are considered as such, with Rahu and Kethu as the ascending and descending nodes of the Moon. Mandy is the satellite of Saturn.
Astrology is being utilized for the benefit of mankind, to improve their lives. Vedic astrology is otherwise called Jyothisha shasthra.Ancient Vedic scriptures date back to about 6000 years ago. Astrology as well as Astronomy come under the purview of Vedic Astrology. The three main sub divisions of astrology are Ganita ,Gola , and Samhita. It can also be classified in to six sub categories viz. Horoscope or Jathakam, Prasna, Omens or Nimitthas, Electional Science, Astrology or Gola and Mathematics or Ganitha.
Jyothisha was first mentioned in Rig-Veda, later its details are also mentioned in Ramayana, Mahabharatha and Bhagavadgitha.Jyothisha is considered to be the prime eye of knowledge, which is pure, supreme and sacred. Astrology is at its root, guided by the vedic quest for Paravidya(supreme knowledge) and Apara vidya(knowledge of relative truths).
