SIGNS
The following chart shows the twelve signs of the zodiac and their
rulers. It is not at random that the planets have been assigned rulership. The
luminaries Moon and Sun rule the signs Cancer and Leo. The signs nearest
to them are ruled by Mercury, which is the nearest planet to the Sun. The
next orbit
is that of Venus, which rules Taurus and Libra. We being on the earth, it is
omitted and the next orbit is that of Mars, ruler of Aries and
Scorpio. Jupiter rules the next two signs. Aquarius and Capricorn are ruled by
Saturn which has the last orbit. Thus the order of the signs is the same as the
order of the planets. The nodes Rahu (the Dragon's Head) and Kethu (the Dragon's
Tail) are not solid bodies like other planets, but shadows and
have no signs allotted to them.

The Sun is the king and the Moon is the queen. Their heir is sent to
Mercury, who offers him good education; then he is entrusted to Venus from whom
he learns the fine arts. Various techniques of warfare are taught to him by
Mars. Jupiter, the "guru", teaches him the "Vedas" and mantras and prepares him
for life. With the blessings of the 'Guru', he faces Saturn, undergoes lot of
sufferings and finally attains "Moksha" ( liberation ).
