Out of the World! Introducing Budh, Mangal, Shukra, and Guru-- in other words, the Indian names for Mercury, Mars, Venus, and Jupiter. Indian astrologers will read your birth chart and tell you if a particular planet is weak. Then they will recommend that you wear the planet's color/gem, or feed its favorite animal, or make charitable gifts in its name.
I tried to represent the planets' personalities as well: Budh is curious and childlike; Mangal has a chip on his shoulder; Shukra is flirtatious; and Guru wants to tell you a joke and be your friend.
