When it comes to Ancient African and Indian Cultures, the emphasis is on the inner planets meaning Sun, Moon, Mercury, Gemini, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and the Lunar Nodes Rahu and Ketu. They knew about the outer planets but they knew that their impact was secondary due to their distance and certain scientific units. For example, there are 7 colors in the spectrum, 7 days of the week, 7 musical notes, etc. Also when it comes to sign rulership this is also reserved for the inner planets. The interesting thing about this is that every planet has 2 signs except for the luminaries Sun and Moon. Which make perfect sense. The Sun is the King and The Moon is the Queen, they are compliments of each other through the signs Leo and Cancer . Also, one can also look at the house structure as 6 complimentary relationships (6 pairs of houses). In Jyotish ( or Vedic Astrology ) many of the qualities attributed to the outer planets, asteroids , etc. are embodied in the Nodes Rahu and Ketu. Which is one serpent split in half as the story goes in the classic text. They come and bring an unconventional twist to whatever house/sign they’re in (and much much more). The outer planets are considered in tight conjunctions and mundane astrology in Vedic Astrology.
