Aspects in Vedic Astrology

Planets aspect other planets, rasis and houses in astrology. A planet aspecting a house or a planet has some influence on the matters signified by that house or planet. The nature of the influence exerted and the degree to which that influence succeeds depends on the individual situation.

There are 2 kinds of aspects:

(1) Graha drishti and
(2) Rasi Drishti.

Drishti means aspect. Each planet aspects certain houses from it with graha drishti (planetary aspect). The houses aspected are fixed based on the planet. In addition, rasis aspect each other and a planet aspects the rasis aspected by the rasi occupied by it. This is called rasi drishti (sign aspect).

We’ll discuss Rasi Drishti in detail in Jaimini Sutras.
