In Vedic astrology there are 7 planets with physical bodies (that we can see in sky) - sun, moon, mars, mercury, Jupiter, venus and Saturn.
Two are without physical bodies (that we cannot see in sky) – are Rahu and ketu
2 of them SUN AND MOON are more related to our spiritual being.
Sun is our soul- Inner being of our life that we can’t see, but without it we can’t live either. And moon is our mind, an instrument of all our desires and longings, life after life.
Sun and Moon in vedic astrology are involved in some special yogas.
Rest 5 - mars, mercury. Jupiter and venus give rise to Punch Mahapurusha yoga. Punch means five, and mahapurush means great person.
When Mars is in quadrants, in own sign, in mooltrikona or in exaltation, it creates Ruchak yoga.
When mercury is in Kendra to lagna, in own sign, or exalted, it creates Bhadra yoga.
When Jupiter is in quadrants in own sign, mooltrikona or in exaltation, it creates Hansa yoga.
When Venus is in square to ascendant in own sign, mooltrikona or in exaltation sign, it makes Malvya yoga.
When Saturn is in quadrant and in own sign or in exaltation sign, it produces Sasa yoga.
When Mars is such, it makes a person brave, gives abundant energy, made him leader etc.
Mercury gives all kind of knowledge, made us practical, gives business sense.
Jupiter represents wisdom in us, a person can have many educational degrees but only jupiter can make him wise. Jupiter also shows grace of God and Guru.
Venus makes life comfortable, gives excellent tastes in everything. Person can excel in arts, music, can become poet.
Saturn gives perseverance; one can become a reformer or social worker. It makes us detached- when we cling to things and relations, only then we get hurt.
But, why quadrant?
Quadrants are called Vishnu sthan in Vedic astrology. These 4 houses show what a person can achieve? What is our potential and what we can actually achieve?
When a planet is in angular house creating panch mahapurush yoga, then it gives us more power to perform well in life. It also shows that at least in one sphere we can excel.
These houses also show our present.
Trines show our prarbdha/ our past. We can’t change our past life; we can only change our present.
It doesn’t imply that these yogas can make us a king, or a celebrity, or can give immense riches, it only shows that when we have strong planets in quadrants, we become capable, we become doer, instead of only reacting to situations of life.
