Graha drishti (planetary aspects).

What this tells you

Graha drishti (planetary aspects) is fundamentally different from Western astrology. Every planet casts a 7th-house aspect. Mars also casts 4th and 8th; Jupiter also 5th and 9th; Saturn also 3rd and 10th. Aspects are always full-strength and directional (from → to, not mutual by default).

Usage tips

How to use it

Draw aspect lines on a chart
For each aspect, draw a line between the "from" planet's house and the "to" planet's house in your chart UI.
Filter by intensity
Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn special aspects are considered the most powerful. Tone down or hide the generic 7th aspects from all other planets to reduce visual noise.
