VARAS IN ASTROLOGY

In Vedic astrology, "waras" refer to the days of the week, each ruled by a specific planet. The term "vara" is derived from the Sanskrit word "vāra," which also means day. These planetary rulers influence the characteristics and energies associated with each day. For example, Sunday is ruled by the Sun, Monday by the Moon, and so on.

Here's a breakdown of the days of the week and their planetary rulers in Vedic astrology:

Sunday (Ravivara): Ruled by the Sun (Surya), associated with leadership, authority, and vitality.

Monday (Somvara): Ruled by the Moon (Chandra), associated with emotions, nurturing, and intuition.

Tuesday (Mangalvara): Ruled by Mars (Mangala), associated with energy, courage, and action.

Wednesday (Budhavara): Ruled by Mercury (Budha), associated with communication, intellect, and adaptability.

Thursday (Guruvara/Brihaspativara): Ruled by Jupiter (Guru), associated with wisdom, expansion, and good fortune.

Friday (Shukravara): Ruled by Venus (Shukra), associated with love, beauty, and relationships.

Saturday (Shanivara): Ruled by Saturn (Shani), associated with discipline, responsibility, and limitations.

These planetary rulers are considered in astrological calculations and interpretations, influencing the timing of events and the overall quality of a day, according to Hindu American Foundation. For example, a day ruled by Jupiter might be considered auspicious for starting new ventures or engaging in educational activities, while a day ruled by Saturn might be better suited for introspection and focused work.
