Chapter1. ZODIAC, SIGNS AND PLANETS
Celestial System :-
The mother earth rotates on its axis once in 24 hrs and revolves around the Sun in 365.2422 days. Various planets like Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter & Saturn also revolve around the Sun. These planets have satellites revolving round them. Earth has one satellite called Moon revolving around it. The complete Solar system also revolved around the center of our Galaxy "Milky Way" and makes one round in little hrs than 26000 years. The Galaxy has many solar systems with different Suns at their centers. Galaxy is shaped like two saucers placed one over the other and our solar system is revolving around it on one side of it. As earth revolves around the Sun, we see from earth stars around us in the sky. On account of motion of Earth around the Sun, the Sun appears to move round the stars once in a year. The line along which the Sun moves is called the Ecliptic. The broad band or belt in the heaven extending 90 on either side of the Ecliptic is known as Zodiac. The Ecliptic passes through center of zodiac longitudinally. The zodiac revolves once in a day on its axis from east to west.The zodiac is divided into twelve equal parts, for purpose of astrology, called signs, which are named after the imaginary figures which the stars form in each division. Since zodiac consists of 360°., each sign will consist of 360°/12=30°. The signs are known as Rashis. Our sages identified twelve group of stars separated approx.30° each in the 360° celestial sphere. Thus we have 12 Rashis. They divided the celestial sphere in 12 parts because moon moves around the earth 12 times during the time earth revolved round the Sun.
