- Sun (Surya): The Sun is the center of the solar system and represents the soul, self-esteem, vitality, and leadership qualities. It rules the sign of Leo and is exalted in Aries. A strong Sun in the chart can bring fame, authority, and success.
- Moon (Chandra): The Moon represents emotions, mind, nurturing qualities, and the mother. It rules the sign of Cancer and is exalted in Taurus. A strong Moon in the chart can bring emotional stability, creativity, and a strong connection with the mother.
- Mars (Mangal): Mars represents energy, ambition, courage, and aggression. It rules the signs of Aries and Scorpio and is exalted in Capricorn. A strong Mars in the chart can bring success in career and business, but a weak Mars can lead to conflicts and accidents.
- Mercury (Budha): Mercury represents intellect, communication, logic, and diplomacy. It rules the signs of Gemini and Virgo and is exalted in Virgo. A strong Mercury in the chart can bring success in business, communication, and education.
- Jupiter (Guru): Jupiter represents wisdom, knowledge, spirituality, and expansion. It rules the signs of Sagittarius and Pisces and is exalted in Cancer. A strong Jupiter in the chart can bring success in higher education, spirituality, and prosperity.
