Navgrah Yog Shanti
According to Vedas and Shastras, there are many planets & stars but only Nine (Nav=9) Planets (Grah) and 27stars fell into the immediate circumference of the solar system and are likely to affect our lives depending upon their position in our natal chart are considered. These nine planets form an orbit called Navagraha Mandal.
The nine "grahas" or planets in our horoscope control our karma, our desires, and their outcomes. Each of these nine planets exerts an influence in our lives, which is called "dasa" and it can be known from one's horoscope. Navagraha Shanti pooja is undertaken to reduce the pessimistic effects and improve the optimistic energies related to a person.
Also as said earlier only 9 planets and 27 stars are considered. Within this Navagraha Mandal (the orbit formed by 9 planets) exist seven gods viz: Ganesha, Durga, Vaayu, Aakash, Ashwini, Kshetrapaal, and Vaastoshpati.
