Planet is one of the heavenly bodies that are revolving around a star or star system. The nine planets that revolve around our Sun are the earth, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Venus. Out of all these planets in the solar system, Earth is capable of supporting life because it has an atmosphere which is needed for survival of life.

Other planets don’t have this capability to support human life because of which they are named as Dwarf Planets. People always wonder how the planet is related to our life. Do planets have any effect on us? What about astrology, do the stars and planets affect us? You may consult astrologers.

We will tell you all these questions here in detail so just keep on reading.

The Sun, Moon and Stars have a very great influence on human lives. The sun is the source of life which provides heat and light to our planet Earth, without sunlight no form of life can survive so we should always thank the sun for being our life giver. 

The moon’s gravitational pull causes tides in oceans and also affects human behavior which is very common in pregnant women. The moon affects the rise and fall of ocean’s tides. Even some scientists say that the full moon makes people insane, irritable and unsocial by giving them menstrual period-like symptoms.

But what about other planets? Do they have any influence on us or do they affect our lives?

Well as we know that the axis of rotation of earth is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees which gives us seasonal variation on our planet Earth. If the axes were not tilted at all it would have been a hell for life to survive because one side would be facing toward the sun and the other side would remain dark due to shadow cast by the sun.

But the axis of rotation is not uniform for all planets in the solar system, some are tipped at different angles according to their own position around the Sun.

The planet Mercury is tilted on its axis at an angle of about 0.01 degrees similar to earth’s, but the new planet Pluto which was recently discovered is also tilted at an angle of about 122 degrees.

Mercury experiences huge temperature variation because it makes close passes by the Sun every few years and during this occurrence sunrises and sunsets happen very rapidly due to variations in temperature.

Possible way planets might affect us is by gravitational force which may not be having any direct impact on the human body but according to scientists the huge mass of planet Jupiter may increase gravitational pull on human beings. There could be some effect on our bones and muscles because of this. But the same thing happens when we do lots of exercise our bones and muscles become stronger.

Every planet has its own gravitational pull which may affect us in some way like (Scientific American) suggests Jupiter is the one whose gravity affects human behaviour most because it has powerful magnetic field i.e. about 2000 times more than earth’s even it makes electric currents inside its atmosphere which generates magnetic field that is about 3000 times stronger than earth’s.

So this was all about planets and how they affect us but a question arises here: astrology also says that if a person’s birth chart has strong presence of planet mercury it makes them talkative, intelligent and have good communication skills.

Astrology holds the view that if a person is born while Mercury is going retrograde in a zodiac sign Pisces they will have great communication skills.

If we talk about Saturn, astrology says that when Saturn transits 10,11 or 12 degrees of the next house from the moon’s position in our birth chart it will bring stress and strain in our day to day life.

Conclusion

After reviewing all the things about planets it can be said that there is no direct benefit of having planets in your astrological birth chart but their influence on our lives are very minimal. And according to me it’s not because of planets or stars that someone is good at drawing or bad at maths, it’s their hard work and dedication which make them successful in their respective fields.

And every child is born with natural abilities if they are nurtured properly then they will flourish no matter which era or which planet they were born.
