The Initial Five Planets- Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn, the Moon "Earth's natural satellite", and the Sun a "dynamic dwarf star" signify the Twelve Astrological Signs. In Vedic Astrology, due to visibility of the initial planets being seen with the bare eye, they appear as star-type figures with movement relative to stars and were given the term wandering stars by the Ancients. The term planet is derived from Greek planetes meaning wanderer.
