Benefits Of Astrology

Discovering your planet-human type is the foundational deeper astrological studies for understanding people, their lives on Earth, and ultimately their health.

The play of the planets are shown in all nine of the planet-human types, and an understanding of all human health problems can be seen through the planets.

Your birth chart then is the window to your life and soul. We can understand all physiological, psychological and spiritual problems and challenges according to the functioning of the planets in our birth chart.

So, the position of the planets in your birth chart is the major reason you are who you are.

There are nine planetary types relating to the nine planets: Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu. Rahu and Ketu are powerful shadow planet of The Moon. Many astrologers perform readings just on these two Moon planets because they reveal so much about a person.

As well as having an astrologer plot out your birth chart and planets, and then give you a reading, you can also answer an easy Ayurvedic Dosha Test.

It's a questionnaire asking you specific questions on physical and psychological characteristics and tendencies that can be related to each planet.
