The Zodiac System and the Solar

System

The zodiac is a broad band or belt in the

heavens extending 9 degrees on each side

of the ecliptic.

The ecliptic or the path of the Sun

passes exactly through the centre of the

zodiac longitudinally. It is an imaginary

circle of 360 degrees and the ancients di-

vided this zodiac into 12 equal parts of 30

degrees each, each being named after the

constellation.

The zodiac, known as the Bhachakra in

Sanskrit, revolves on its axis once in a day

from east to west.

The planetary orbits which were recog-

nised as having the most powerful influ-

ences on our earth are seven, besides the

shadow planets,

Rahu

and

Ketu.

According to

Suryasiddhaanta,

Saturn is

the most distant planet from the earth. Jupi-

ter, Mars, the Sun, Venus, Mercury and the

Moon come next in the order of their dis-

tance from the terrestrial globe. The near-

est planet to our own orbit is the Moon.
