How does Jyotish work?
hariḥ oṁ

I thought to ask other's POV and insights... why or what do you think are the mechanics of Jyotish? That is, how do the navgraha-s (9 graha-s¹ or planets) influence us? How does 'jyo' ( to order or cause one to observe) occur?
We have many posts here under Jyotish (jyotiṣa¹ yet there has been little discussion on the simple mechanics on how this influence occurs.
Any thoughts on this matter?
words
- graha ग्रह- seizing , laying hold of , holding i.e. a graha ~seizes~ or influences the circumstances of the native.
- jyotiṣa ज्योतिष the science of the movements of the heavenly bodies and divisions of time dependant thereon ; science of light.
- jyo ज्यो- to order, to cause anyone to observe a vow;
- jyotis ज्योतिस्- light , brightness (of the sky) + tiṣa , science of the movements of the heavenly bodies
- tiṣām ayana - the course or movements of the heavenly bodies , science of those movements
