      "Everybody
      [Astrologers, Astrology buffs and students] knows about the Moons Nodes
      but most Astrologers and common people too aren't familiar with the Nodes
      of the Planets. All Nodes [the Moon's and the Planet's] are nothing but
      calculated mathematical points. But these mathematical points are very
      significant, just like Moon Wobbles. 
       
      
       
      The
      Planetary Nodes are derived the same way as the Moons Nodes are
      calculated. The Moons Nodes are the points in the Zodiac where the plane
      of the Earth's orbit is crossed by the plane of the Moons orbit. The
      Planets Nodes are the points in the Zodiac where each Planet's orbit
      crosses the plane of Earth's orbit. In actuality all Nodes are really
      lines instead of points but agreeing to that fact is not necessary to
      grasp the validity of the concept offered here. 
       
      
       
      Planetary
      Node periods are much longer that the period of the Moon's Nodes which are
      about 19.5 years. Most Planetary Node periods are of the order of 2 to 3
      thousand times longer, i.e. 40,000 to 60,000 years, than the Moon Nodes
      period. For all the profound purposes, the Planetary Nodes do not move
      during a persons lifetime. 
       
      
       
      The
      SUN has no NODES. Earth's orbit around the SUN is the 'Frame of
      Reference". 
       
      
       
      Unquote...... 
       
      
       
      From
      the co-ordinates available which are given in Heliocentric positions, I
      converted to Sidereal longitudes. I have been as careful as possible in
      calculations and if there is any error, please feel free to let me know. 
      Of
      all the heavenly bodies, I have taken only vedic planets northern and
      southern nodes. 
      Sun
      has no nodes. So I took the nodal positions of , Jupiter, Saturn, Mars,
      Venus and Mercury. 
      When
      I converted them to Nakshatra position, I think I hit the jackpot.!!! 
      So

      Since
      each node takes over 30 to 40,000 years to change a sign, we can
      practically say that they do not change their fixed positions during our
      lifetime. 
       
      
       
      These
      nodes are as good as planets in those signs. Of the above nodes, it has
      been found that nodes of Mars are very important and have a remarkable
      effect in mundane and personal life. 
      Jupiter,
      Saturn nodes are also found to be important. 
       
      
       
       
      
       
      IF
      YOU LOOK AT NEGETIVE NODE OF SATURN (Sani's Ketu), IT IS IN MULA AND THIS
      EXPLAINS WHY MULA NAKSHATRA IS SO POISONOUS.!!!Remarkable isn't it? 
       
      
       
      IF
      YOU LOOK AT MARS NODES, NORTHERN NODE(Rahu of Mangal) IS IN ARIES. AN
      EXPLOSIVE AND POWERFULPLACE TO BE AND THIS IS WHAT MAKES MARS THE LORD OF
      WAR. 
       
      
       
      IF
      YOU LOOK AT JUPITER'S NODES, NORTHERN NODE(Rahu of Jupiter) IS IN
      INTELLIGENT SIGN GEMINI. 
      IF
      YOU LOOK AT SOUTHERN NODE(Ketu of Jupiter) IT IS IN SAGGITARIUS.!!

      presence of THREE KETUS IN 7th , 8 th. 
      AND 9 th houses.!! 
      Can
      this person live more than he did under these circumstances?? 
      I
      am Just wonder struck with this phenomenon. 
       
      
       
      I
      would like to pursue this further and try and apply these new found
      planets who I have named as above , in different horoscopes. 
      I
      also request learned friends to post their views. 
        
        
      SCIENTIFIC
      PROOF: 
       
      There are more questions to Astrology than answers. Most of the times
      scientists have ridiculed Astrology as a humbug and dismissed it as a
      pseudo science. Being a science student with astrology as my field of
      interest, I set about proving that ancient minds were highly advanced than
      what we think. As is the usual habit of mine, I started with the most
      basic concept. 
      The base I started with was from the classification of elements
      "PERIODIC TABLE". 
      A
      simple periodic table has eight groups and the zero group of Inert gases. 
      Vertical rows are called groups and horizontal rows are called periods. 
       
      Group numbers indicate number of electrons in its outermost shell. 
      It is these electrons which enter into chemical bond called Valency. 
       
      Coming back to Astrology, I took up the planetary position of Sun and its
      planets one by one in order of its distance from Sun. And gave lordship on
      this basis. 
       
      Thus 1st group lord is Sun 
      2nd group lord is Mercury  
      3rd group leader is Venus  
      4th group leader is Earth and Rahu  
      5th group leader is Mars  
      6th group leader is Jupiter  
      7th A group leader is Rahu and Moon  
      7B and 8A,8B group leader is Saturn  
      ZERO (9th) group belongs to Ketu 
       
      Since Vedic astrology has ascribed only Nine planets, 8th group is under
      Saturn. 
      When an atom has all the electrons in outer most shell numbering 2,8,18
      etc, it becomes intert. Hence it is a MOKSHA condition. Hence I have given
      ownership of zero group to Ketu 
       
      Before you read the following , please log on to the following link and
      examine the PERIODIC
      TABLE  of elements to understand the findings. 
      Please visit : http://www.environmentalchemistry.com/yogi/periodic/ 
      (with thanks...) 
       
      SUN AS LORD OF I st GROUP OF PERIODIC TABLE: 
       
      Vedic astrology has ascribed Sun as one. He is Atman He has been given
      number 1 in numerology. He rules over Copper. Some have given ruler ship
      of Gold and Silver to Sun. 
       
      Element number of Hydrogen is 1, it has one electron in its outermost
      shell. With Oxygen it forms H2O, water which is basis of life. Mark Atma 1
      and Jeeva 3 giving water. You will find Copper, Silver and Gold under
      first group of elements. 
       
       
      MERCURY AS LORD OF 2nd GROUP OF PERIODIC TABLE: 
       
      Astrology says, Mercury is very fast moving planet, he is Messanger, he is
      the Transporter, his stone is Emerald GREEN, He rules over element
      MERCURY. He rules over intellect and brain power. 
      In periodic table, you will find element MERCURY. You will also find light
      metals like Magnesium, Zinc. Metal zinc is of utmost importance in proper
      functioning of brain. Proper zinc supply to the brain is necessary for
      improvement and maintenance of learning ability.  
      Although more people likely would associate the word "metal"
      with rock music than with the brain, 
      scientists know that the brain needs zinc and other metals to function
      properly. Even though the role of metals within proteins is well
      understood, the question of why synapses -- the cellular devices that
      convey information from one nerve cell to the next -- contain high
      concentrations of zinc remains a mystery. (Net) 
       
      Radium emits green colour in darkness. 
       
      VENUS AS LORD OF 3rd GROUP OF PERIODIC TABLE. 
       
      Venus rules over Beauty, cosmetics, cleanliness, precious stones etc. All
      precious stones contain Aluminum and some Boron. Salts of Aluminum and
      Boron are used in Dyeing and bleaching .  
      Without Aluminum and Boron, Pottery and ceramics will be without beauty.  
       
       
       
      EARTH AND RAHU AS 4th HOUSE LORDS 
       
      Since Vedic astrology is Geocentric, Instead of Earth, Rahu is the lord of
      4th group. 
      In Vedic astrology, Rahu is Black, ruler of metal Lead. In numerology he
      is given number 4. 
      He is the lord of 4th group. You will find Carbon as the prime element of
      this group. You will find Lead (Pb) in this group. Carbon has 4 electrons
      in its outermost shell. The valancy of this group is 4. But it is the only
      group where element Carbon forms many covalent compounds. 
      Only carbon can form about about ten million compounds. Without Carbon,
      life would be impossible anywhere in universe. Carbon is the only element
      that can form compounds with Nitrogen, Oxygen and Hydrogen. Methane (CH4)
      is believed to be pre cursor of life anywhere in Universe. Comets that are
      believed to bring life to planets are Methane rich 
       
      Only carbon can form both INORGANIC and ORGANIC compounds. Thus RAHU
      FELICITATES LIFE. 
       
      Mark the position of 4th group. It is exactly in center of the periodic
      Table. Proves MADHYAMA or Medium without which life is impossible. So why
      Life originated only on Earth? 
       
      Only earth can provide a Neutral condition to highly electro positive and
      electro negative elements like Hydrogen and Chlorine etc to form
      compounds. 
       
      It provides right condition to Hydrogen and Oxygen to form water. 
       
      PANCH MAHABHUTA : 
       
      Earth gave Pancha Mahabhuta contained in it, a condition to form life. Sun
      gave Atma (Hydrogen), Jupiter gave Oxygen (Jeeva) Moon gave Chlorine and
      Sun gave Sodium to form common salt . Mercury gave Calcium to form bones.
      Mars gave Nitrogen and Phosphorous to give Vitality and strength 
      to the body. Thus first the sea was formed with sodium chloride in it.
      Silicon of 4th group and Carbon provided the neutral clay along with many
      elements in it. Sun and Jupiter gave Atma and Jeeva in form of water. Rahu
      the Maha kaal provided Carbon and GOD GAVE LIFE to us as a Gift. 
       
       
      MARS A LORD OF 5th GROUP: 
       
      We know that Mars is the war lord. He is a Potent Male. He has a strong
      body , he rules over muscles and Bones. He has red eyes. Rules over red
      colour. Bismuth is a Reddish metal. Phosphorous is reddish. Without
      phosphorous, bones would be useless. Nitrogen is the basis of Amino Acids
      and other r vital Amino compounds like Vitamins. 
      Thus he is undisputed lord of Vitality. 
      Arsenikom in Greek means POTENT or MALE. 
      You will find Arsenic in 5th group. 
      Outermost shell of Nitrogen and all the other elements has 3 electrons.
      Hence he is also known as Trikona and Power lies in A Triangle. This is
      why Kartik the commander of Deva's army (Mars) has Triangular Vel in his
      hand. 
       
      JUPITER AS LORD OF 6th GROUP  
       
      Jupiter means JEEVA, meaning LIFE. He is the savior of Life on earth.
      Oxygen means Life. No Oxygen means no life. You find oxygen in 6th group.
      In astrology, Guru's aspect removes all problems and prevents Balarishta
      (Infant Mortality). 
       
      Jupiter is Yellow in colour , he adores yellow clothes. His stone is
      Yellow sapphire. He resides in a ASTHAKONA HOUSE. 
       
      You will find Yellow Sulphur listed in this group. Outermost shell has 8
      electrons. So he resides in ASHTKONA house. Chromium salts are yellow. 
       
       
      RAHU AND MOON AS 7thA GROUP LORDS 
       
      Moon is the karaka of Mind, Salt , Rasas etc. Moon has a close
      relationship with Rahu who is the 
      karaka of BLOOD. Blood contains Sodium chloride as a major chemical
      constituent. Moon also rules over water. This is the reason why during
      full moon and new moon time, there is a rush of blood in Head. 
      Moon is also termed as Amrita. Without salt, we cannot survive. Salt is
      the product of sea. Amruta came from sea after great churning. Rahu
      attacks all the planets and especially Moon and 
      Sun. Mark CHLORINE, FLUORINE BROMINE AND IODINE. These highly electro
      negative elements can attack and etch and reduce almost any element of the
      periodic table. 
       
       
      SATURN AS LORD OF 7B AND 8th GROUP  
       
      In Vedic Astrology, Saturn has been described as Black, Slave, Iron, Black
      things, slow moving, Slow in reacting, Tool, Tenacity, Carrier of
      orders,Yama doota, Having death in looks, Obstructer, Spear, Hunter etc. 
      Look at 7B and 8th group elements. 
      You will see Iron, Manganese metals both are black. All tools are made of
      Iron. Spears ,lances Bullets etc. are tools to kill .They are made of
      Iron. Since weapons are slaves in the hands of the killer, they by
      themselves cannot kill unless used by the killer. Hence all weapons must
      come under Saturn. Hence Saturn can be termed as Carrier Of Death. Yama's
      vehicle is Buffalo who is Saturn. Since he is a Slave, he as Hemoglobin in
      blood, carries Oxygen to all parts of the body. Especially Heart. 
       
      You would find Cobalt and Nickel which are two elements which can absorb
      Hydrogen in its element form hundred times in weight. Hydrogen is Atma,
      that is why Saturn is termed as Killer. 
       
      KETU AS LORD OF 9TH ZERO GROUP. 
       
      All inert gases like Helium, Neon, Xenon Radon etc are found in this
      group. Ketu lords over this group. All the Vrittis , when subsided, lead
      to peace and Moksha. As all the outermost shells of these elements have
      satisfied orbits , the electrons are not available to react. Hence they
      are inert elements. They light up infancy colours only when energy in form
      of electricity passes through. It is the form I call as SHAVA. Meaning
      Dead Body. Without Shakti it is Shava. Once Shakti passes thro' it, It
      becomes SHIVA. 
       
      Thus ends my explanation of Scientific Basis for Astrology. 
       
      I would welcome readers inputs and suggestions.
