Existence of twelve houses and 27 constellations in addition
to planetary fixed bodies has been inferred which together form a shape or
figure. These twelve houses are equated to twelve realms while the planets are
like emperors or lords. Indian philosophers determined the houses of this
entire sphere and ascribed 30 degrees to each house. Then, every degree has
been divided into sixty parts termed as minute or ‘kula’. Further, one part of a minute was
called second. These degrees are similar to village or township while houses
are akin to cities. In other words, degrees represent villages and minutes
resemble palaces in which all planets perform their rotational cycle at fixed routine.
Moving celestial bodies are called planets whereas fixed
bodies are known as. There is a difference of opinion about fixed bodies among
masters of astronomy. Some say that their impact is confined to animals and vegetation while others hold that humans too are
influenced by them. Due to being located
very far
from their impact reaches the
earth in considerably long time. There is no need to discuss their
impact and properties. However, the effects that rashis and constellations
bring to us are consequence of these vey fixed bodies. If it is admitted that
these fixed bodies are spheres of another solar system even they are at so much
distance form the earth that even the most
sophisticated telescope s could not
make them visible. It is due to this distance that when their light touches
the earth it is extremely poor
and dull. Consequently their
influence on humans is much reduced and delayed as well. It is like the impact of medicines which is beyond our
control some medicines give
quick relief while others take much time to
produce result. However, our
experience gets widened with success and developments in pharmaceutical and
clinical researches. Study of medicine or
its practice is not shunned
describing it as deficient
or ineffective. Hence, there a
number of stars and planets whose
impact on humans can be depicted
sufficiently. Here, we are strictly
concerned with those celestial
bodies that are consequential in
influencing human actions and thoughts and their outcome.
