Generally predictions are based on permutations and combinations of these elements. Names of nine planets are as follows. Planet Sanskrit Name Sun सूर्य (Surya) Moon चंद्र, सोम (Chandra, Som) Mars मंगल, कुज (Mangal, Kuja) Mercury बुध (Budha) Jupiter गुरू, बृहस्पति (Guru, Brihaspati) Venus शुक्र (Shukra) Saturn शनि (Shani) North Node राहु (Rahu) South Node केतु (Ketu) Sun and Moon are considered to be a star and a satellite respectively according to the modern astronomy.

These twelve zodiac signs are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.

Mathematically a circle is of 360 degrees. Therefore one zodiac sign, which is one-twelfth of zodiac, comprises 30 degrees.

Nonetheless, there is no need to go much into the mathematical portion and it is enough to know now that each zodiac sign is of 30 degrees. Each sign is governed by a planet. Let us have a look at it.
