The zodiac is divided into twelve signs, each containing 30 degrees and all the planets are moving round the zodiac in different motions so that they take different periods to complete the circuit. The zodiac is known as “KALA PURUSHA” representing a full human figure.

The names of the twelve signs (rashis) are : Aries (Mesha), Taurus (Brisha), Gemini (Mithuna), Cancer (Karkata), Leo (Simha), Virgo (Kanya), Libra (Tula), Scorpio (Brischika), Sagittarius (Dhanu), Capricorn (Makara), Aquarius (Kumbha) and Pisces (Meena). (rashis) are : Aries (Mesha), Taurus (Brisha), Gemini (Mithuna), Cancer (Karkata), Leo (Simha), Virgo (Kanya), Libra (Tula), Scorpio (Brischika), Sagittarius (Dhanu), Capricorn (Makara), Aquarius (Kumbha) and Pisces (Meena).

The names of the planets are : Sun (Ravi), Moon (Chandra), Mars (Mangala), Mercury (Budha), Jupiter (Brihaspati), Venus (Sukra), Saturn (Sani), Rahu or Dragon’s head and Ketu or Dragon’s tail.

The body of the “Kala Purusha” has been devided into twelve parts and each part has been assigned to a raso commencing from Mesha. They are as follows :-

Rasi                                           Part of Kala Purusha
Mesha                                      Head
Brisha                                       Face
Mithuna                                  Neck
Karkata                                    Chest
Simha                                      Upper abdomen
Kanya                                      Lower abdomen
Tula                                         Groins
Brischika                                enital organs
Dhanu                                      Thighs
Makara                                   Knees
Kumbha                                  Shanks
Meena                                      feet

Mesha, Simha and Dhanu rasis rule over vitality, Brisha, Kanya and Makara rasis over bone and flesh, Mithuna, Tula and Kumbha rasis over breathing, and Karkata, Brischika and Meena rasis over blood.

The zodiac is also divided into twelve houses reckoning from Lagna or ascendant and each house commonly known as bhava is assigned to a specific part of the body of the “Kala Purusha”. Here also the first house represents head, the second house represents face and so on.

They are as follows :-

House                              or bhava Part of Kala Purusha
1st house                         or Lagna bhava Head, brain and mind
2nd house                  Face, eyes, nose, tongue, teeth, ears, fingers, nails, bones and flesh
3rd house                          Neck, throat, collar bones, hands, breathing, ears and bodily growth
4th house                        Heart, lungs, chest and blood
5th house                  Upper abdomen and mind
6th house                    Lower abdomen, naval, bones, flesh and mental faculties
7th house                   Groins, semen, female organs and breathing
8th house                        Genital organs, urine and blood
9th house                        Thighs and limbs
10th house                 Knees, bones and flesh
11th house                Shanks and breathing
12th house                Feet and blood

The houses from the 2nd to 6th govern the right side of the body and from 12th to 8th in reverse order govern the left side of the body.

The planets are working both for building up and destroying the body and they have different activities and functions over it.
