According to kepler the planets travel with variable velocity now if we look at the daily ephemeris or panchang it shows that the planet do not move at a contant velocity in orbiting the Sun . They are Margi and Vakri i.e at times there they appear to speed up and slow down with covering their 360 path around the Sun.
Some planets move up to 2 degrees in a day and other times few minutes of a degree . It clearly shows that Planets are also not following a complete circular path and these motions were charted by Maharishi Bhrigu thousands of year before Kepler. The charts have been pricise and are in syncronicity with the motion established by astronomers today .
Now to understand the extent of the concept of relativity inherent in astrology let us define a Vakri or retrograde planet . It is a planetmoving slowly revative to the earth and then actually seems to recede it is not that the planet actually starts to move backwards but due to relative motion with respect to earth they appear to be moving backwards. That seems to drive us to the question if Maharishi Brigu knew astrology long before EINSTEIN .Similarly a margi grah is planet with higher velocity relative to the movement of the earth .
Given the fact that Maharishi Bhrigu didn't had a telescope to predict the motions of planets how was such a precise charting possible .Did the ancient sages had some more advanced scientific knowledge and was the laws of planetary motion known long before Kepler and mordern day Scientist discovered it . .
Note GRAH is most misued Sanskrit word used to attack astrology .Grah means capacity to sieze( hold or influence) . It doesn't mean planet .So Sun along with nodes (Rahu and Ketu) can be called as the Navgrah or nine pinds or astrological bodies that influence the life on earth. Sun also influences the life on earth so it can also be called a Grah ,
Lastly if Earth becomes a reference plane for studying the motion there is problem in assigning Sun a relative motion and so astrology is the study of motion of the planets with reference to earth and whether Sun is stationary or moving should not be debateable .
