I am new to this group and very excited to be among such illuminated
worshippers of Sri Yantra and the Goddess Lalita.
I have many questions, but I will start with the classic symbolism of
the 9 planets in Vedic Astrology.
Here is my question to the group. I hope someone here has the insight
to guide me in this symbolism:
Vedic Astrology assigns the planets to the first 9
numbers.
However I am trying to find if there is a canon, a
real standard to this assignment.
Harish Johari has given the following:
1=Sun, 2=Moon, 3=Jupiter, 4=Rahu, 5=Mercury, 6=Venus,
7= Ketu, 8=Saturn, 9=Mars.
However the Rudra center has given the alternate:
1=Sun, 2=Moon, 3=Mars, 4=Mercury, 5=Jupiter, 6=Venus,
7=Saturn, 8=Rahu, 9= Ketu.
Can you help me with this planetary symbolism?

i am also new to this group,but not new to shakti_sadhana;so i am
trying to reply you.
the first one is accoring to astrological dasha/graha system,while
the other one is in accordence with days of the week,so both the
systems are correct.The number nine is very importent in indian
philosophy,as for example:
the grahas(or ratnas) are =9;
the gems are also =9;
the organs in body =9.
the sub pattels,or subsequent chakras of goddess tripurasundati=9;
thus it is one of the most important group in shakti cult.
