Why Earth is not considered as a planet in astrology?
The Earth has not captured the asteroid and the Earth has failed to clear the orbit. That means that according to the definition of the International Astronomical Union, the Earth cannot technically be considered as a planet and that it is, in fact, a dwarf-planet.
The term is derived from nava (Sanskrit: नव “nine”) and graha (Sanskrit: ग्रह “planet, seizing, laying hold of, holding”). Note that the Earth, Uranus and Neptune are not included in the Navagraha. However, Sun is part of the Navagraha. Most temples in India have a designated place dedicated for Navagraha worship.
