Young Mars moves on in this car; his motions are direct, and retrograde and very retrograde. Vrihaspati (Jupiter), the son of Angirâ and the learned preceptor of the Devas, moves in a golden chariot with flags on it. The chariot is drawn by 8 fair coloured horses born of fire. Jupiter remains for one year in each of the twelve signs of the zodiac; thus He moves on in his chariot and goes to his destination. The chariot of Venus (Sukra) is brilliant like fire and decorated with flags; He goes on in this swift-going chariot. Next comes Saturn. His chariot is made of iron. Ascending on this chariot drawn by horses as swift as wind, Saturn moves on.—5-8.
