In Hindu Astrology, it is believed that combination of Nakshatras and Navagrahas affects a person’s happiness, success and all-round prosperity. The good and bad, positive and negative influences of each of these nine planets are results of factors like the specific location of the planets on the birth chart, etc. Planets possessing good (Sattva nature) are Jupiter, Sun and Moon. Planets bearing rajas(either good or bad) are Venus and Mercury while planets with Bad(Tamas nature) are Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu.
In Hindu Mythology, Chandra (Moon God) is synonymous to Soma. Other names include Indu (“bright drop”), Atrisuta (“son of Atri”), Sachin (“marked by hare”), T??r??dhipa (“lord of stars”) and Nishakara (“the night maker”). Chandra (Moon God) is married to Daksha’s 27 daughters who are 27 Nakshatras in night sky and these are the 27 divisions of the zodiac based on the moon’s daily motion of 13 degrees and 20 minutes. 27 daughters of Daksha (Creator God) who got married to Moon God form 27 days of a month.
