SUN
Japaakusuma Samkaasham kaashyapeyam Mahadhyuthim !

(I bow down to the Sun god, who is the cause of the day-break, who dispels all darkness, who destrorys all sins, who is matchless in brilliance, who is the son of Kashyapa and who is as red as the Japa Kusuma Flower.)
Mula Mantra
Ōm ghrņi surya aditiyom
Gayatri
Asva dhvajaya vidmahe pasa hastaya dhimahi
Tanno surya pracodayat
(The sun is resplendent in brilliance (Mahadyuti). He is as red as the (Japakusuma) red hibiscus flower. The Sun is the dispeller of darkness (Tamorim) external and internal. He is the invigorator and inspirer of intelligence. Sin is said to be the agitation and worry that nags the mind as a result of an action done against the dignity of one’s own self. Surya gives light and knowledge and burn down the results of wrong acts. Hence he is called Sarvapapagnam. He is also known as the lord of the day (Divakaram).
Known as Aditya, he is the eldest son of Kasyapa. He is the life-giving force. It is He who supports all life by his rays of light and energy. He is the dynamic principle behind all colors, tints and hues. When he rises in the sky He is blood red in complexion and dispels all darkness. Those who worship Him find their inertia and torpor getting destroyed.
Surya is said to be inviolable, imperishable and eternal. He represents eternity in the midst of changes, and also the indivisible principle in the midst of disintegrating worlds.
Surya must always be placed in the center of the planets, facing east, with the other Grahas fixed round him. His chariot has one wheel, is drawn by seven horses and has Aruna as the charioteer. )

Mula Mantra
Ōm Śrīm Hrīm ham cam candrāya namah:
Gayatri
Padmadhvajāya vidmahe hemarūpāya dhīmahi
Tanno sōma pracodayāt
(Puranas claim that Chandra is the son of Atri and Anusuya. He is sometimes said to be the son of Dharma. He sprang from the milky ocean when it was churned by the Gods and Asuras. Chandra is the guardian of the sacrifices, penances and asterisms. He is said to be the sole Lord of the Herbal kingdom. It is the Moon that gives to matter the principle of fermentation. The Purusha Sukta mentions Chandra as having come out of the mind of the primeval Purusha. Chandra has the power of heal all diseases. Chandra has medicinal powers. Several ayurvedic medicines are exposed to the Moon in the nights to give a greater potency to them. Grains exposed to the Moon when sown and grown give a grater yield. He also has a closed connection to the human mind.
Chandra is said to have wed the twenty seven daughters of Rishi Daksha. The twenty seven daughters are the twenty seven lunar asterisms in the Hindu pantheon. Story goes that Chandra’s attention to Rohini, one of the twenty seven, was so much that the remaining daughters complained to Daksha, who in turn cursed Chandra. On appeal of the daughters the curse was modified. Chandra is said to have performed the Rajasuya sacrificed and became powerful. The chariot of Chandra has three wheels and is drawn by ten horses which represent the ten sense organs.)

Propitiation of Ketu (Thursday)
CHARITY:
Donate a brown cow with white spots, colored blankets, or a dog to a poor young man on Thursday.
FASTING:
On the first Thursday of the waxing moon, especially during major or minor Ketu periods.
MANTRA:
To be chanted on Thursday at midnight, especially during major or minor Ketu periods:
Cat’s Eye Chrysoberyl is the gemstone for Ketu
RESULT:
The planetary diety Ketu is propitiated granting victory over enemies, favour from the King or government, and reduction in diseases caused by Ketu.
Ketu is not really a planet, but rather a mathematically calculated point in the heavens. Because of its lack of a "body" it represents uncertain, unexpected and unpredictable phenomena. It is intelligent and relates to mathematics and other abstract knowledge.
Rahu and Ketu are one together. According to 'Shri Bhagwat Puran', the nectar pitcher was one of the things that came out of the sea after it was churned. When the gods and demons clashed to get the nectar , Lord 'Vishnu' formed himself as the most attractive and charming woman Mohini who started to distribute or feed nectar to both of them. A learned demon Rahu, the son of Viparchitti and Shimica saw that Lord Vishnu in the garb of Mohini, was not practicing honesty. He was infact giving nectar to the gods and wine to the demons. Then he (Rahu) sat among gods in the garb of a god. As soon as he drank the nectar, the Moon and the Sun saw that the demon sitting among them was Rahu. They informed Lord Vishnu who chopped off the neck of the demon but he had become immortal after drinking the nectar. Therefore, both pieces of Rahu ,his head and his remaining body became two separate demons. The head was named Rahu and the remaining body as Ketu. Rahu and Ketu were thrown in opposite directions by the Lord Vishnu

Ketu's sign of the zodiac is Pisces. But in reality it is the sign of Jupiter which is also shared by Ketu. The gem of the planet Ketu is Cat's eye.
