Mercury is very small & always remains close to the (father) therefore it is considered as "Prince" in the planetary cabinet & signifies students, youngsters, dependents, education, intellect etc. Venus is most beautiful planet therefore it signifies luxuries, beauty, comforts etc. Jupiter is the biggest of all the planets therefore it signifies respected people e.g. teacher, preacher, gurus, saints, rishis, elders of the society.Saturn is far off planet, cold & slow ; therefore it signifies old, outcast etc.Rahu & Ketu eclipse even the strongest luminary, Sun & do not posses any body.
