What role does Uranus play in Indian astrology?

Uranus is also known as Prapajati or Harshal in Indian astrology but it does not have any meaning to Indian astrology yet probably because it was not immediately discovered. It was only in the late 1700s when this planet was discovered by William Herschel. At that point, the Indian astrology has already been completed.

This is not the only planet that does not hold too much meaning to Indian astrology. Neptune and Pluto are also not discussed. There are always going to be some differences with the things that people study with what is being discovered. This is already expected. There are probably more things that will be discovered in the future.
