Doshas Planets and Elements

Both doshas and planets correspond to the five elements, which form their main common ground of correlation. There are however some differences and variations that should be borne in mind.

Mercury is often related to the earth element because of its ability to facilitate clear communication and action in the outer world through the concrete or information oriented mind that it rules. However, it does not necessarily make a person heavy or Kapha physically. It is usually more Vata in this regard.

Jupiter is often related to the ether element because it creates expansion and aids in the development of the abstract mind, philosophy and religion. It does not, however, make a person Vata, light or etheric, but, on the contrary, creates bulk and weight. Otherwise the correspondences of elements and doshas are the same.
