Celestial bodies or heavenly bodies are objects in space such as the sun, moon, planets, and stars. These Celestial bodies affect the entire mavalid-e-salasa (plant, animal, and mineral kingdom). The life of living organisms including growth and reproduction are directly influenced by gravitational and electromagnetic forces exerted by Celestial bodies and indirectly by the effects of Celestial bodies on climatic conditions. Ancient physicians described that a major impact ate exerted by the 7- Celestial bodies. These are Shams (Sun), Qamar (Moon), Zehel (Saturn), Mushtari (Jupiter), Mareekh (Mars), Zohra (Venus), and Atarad (Mercury). The revolution of Celestial bodies from east to west on earth is called “zamana-etasharruf” and the revolution from west to east is called “zamana-e-haboot”. The effects of a Celestial body are more pronounced in zamana-e-tasharruf than in zamana-e-haboot. The bitterness in fruits, the falling of leaves, the sweetness of nectar, etc of a plant are all due to the effect of these Celestial bodies. any change in the kaifiyath or mizaj (property and temperament) of a drug is influenced by Celestial bodies.
