The words used in this table resemble the names of Nakshtras in the standard order of their
placement and are easy to remember.
Now remember the following lines as if reading a Hindi rhyme

1. Sun 6

3. Mars 7
4. Rahu 18
5. Jupiter 16
6. Saturn 19
7. Mercury 17

Now we know there are 27 nakshatras, please plot them starting with KETU as follows :
Chart 2
1. Sun 6 3 12 21

Based on above sequence we see that every planet has three nakshatras and are in sequence of original number +9,+9.
Why we started the numbering from Ketu is that the first nakshatra in First Sign Aries belongs to Ketu.
Now let us plot the planets and their charans keeping in mind the above planet sequence against Signs.
Chart 3
If we combine just the number sequence of chart 3 and chart 2 wherein take number 1-9 from Nakshatra sequence and s.no.
from chart 2, we get the following chart for remember purpose only.
Chart 4
Signs are starting from Aries and Planets are starting from Ketu.
