"Indian Vedic astrology uses nine planets, which does not include Uranus, Neptune and Pluto but consists of Sun (Ravi), Moon (Chandra), Mars (Mangala), Mercury (Budha), Jupiter (Brihaspati), Venus (Shukra), Saturn (Shani), North Lunar Node (Rahu), and South Lunar Node (Ketu). Rahu is a malefic force, and Ketu provides supernatural influence. The North Node is the point where the Moon climbs the ecliptic, the South Node is the point where the Moon sinks below the ecliptic."
