00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,280
Good morning beautiful people. Welcome to my channel. Thank you for your likes and

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:10,760
subscribes. Now I am beginning the Rahu Ketu study series. The axis of Rahu Ketu,

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:16,080
how it plays out in each and single one of the zodiac signs going by nakshatra,

4
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:19,920
going by padha. So if you don't know what the padha is, you will have to go through

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:25,360
the 27 nakshatra playlist. I will be covering it in the series also just like

6
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,280
a recap but the details are before. If you want to know what exaltation and

7
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,880
debilitation is there, even that is covered in my earlier videos. So the

8
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:38,560
importance of understanding the Rahu and Ketu in our charts is to understand the

9
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:43,960
polarization of duality as it plays in our lives. It's very crucial to

10
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:50,720
understand although it is not be all and end all of things. This is not the

11
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:55,880
ultimate anything but this is one of the very important factors. We shall start

12
00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:01,320
seeing that one by one. Some parts of this video I will leave it for each

13
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,960
and every one because people bump into different videos at different times and

14
00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:10,520
we will cover this by house. We will cover this the importance. We will cover

15
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:16,360
this from the classical Sanskrit Vedic texts understanding how it plays out in

16
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:22,800
the modern understanding and how you can self evaluate your own chart to see

17
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:27,920
where this Rahu Ketu axis is playing out. It's on always on opposite sides. Rahu

18
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:34,640
Ketu are 180 degrees apart. So we will analyze this and we will analyze this of

19
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:41,760
how it benefits or debilitates or gives you a propensity for or against

20
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:46,680
anything in your life. It's going to be very interesting once you get into the

21
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:52,880
analytics of it. So take care. Be safe. Keep watching. I'll come to the

22
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,720
presentation parts and each one of these presentations is going to be similar in

23
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:02,680
pattern. So it's like a study. Literally this is more like a virtual classroom and

24
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:11,280
this way you can figure out what to focus on in your chart. So it will be easier to grasp.

25
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:16,120
This is easier to understand, easier to evaluate. This is where my focus is

26
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,480
going and this is how it is playing out in my life. So let's get into it.

27
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:26,720
Take care. Be safe. So number one, the classical characteristics of Rahu and

28
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:31,680
Ketu as described by the classical Vedic literature. What is Rahu and Ketu?

29
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:37,760
These are the north and the south nodes of the moon found by the virtual points

30
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:42,160
which are the intersection points between orbit of the moon around the earth

31
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:47,040
and orbit of the earth around the Sun. So basically if you take two eclipses,

32
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:54,200
ellipses, it will form two intersection points. So these two intersection points

33
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,680
are called the north node and the south node. They are virtual nodes although they

34
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:04,240
behave like planets and we shall see why in a minute. So who is Rahu? The symbols

35
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,720
are there like a horseshoe and the reverse horseshoe. This is typically

36
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,640
how it is portrayed in Western astrology. So I'm using the same symbol here.

37
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:19,040
Rahu is mythologically depicted as the seeded head of a demon symbolizing

38
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:27,080
constant and less insatiable hunger and appetite be it sensual or physical yet

39
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,960
it is unable to hold on to or grasp it. Rahu is the one who constantly wants

40
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:38,480
something. Think of it as a live head only not the body. Okay. So it can't

41
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:43,200
hold on to anything or be satisfied even if it gets that thing since it has no

42
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:48,560
arms or body or stomach. Just a head which is alive. This gives Rahu the

43
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:55,600
title of Bhoga Karaka or meaning one who is after sensory materialistic pursuits.

44
00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:02,000
So think any earth sign for example they want sensory materialistic pursuits or

45
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,560
think any of the signs literally whatever they are after Rahu wants that

46
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,920
and wants that very badly and goes after it with everything. This is an energy

47
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:16,800
in us by the way. It is not a planet. It's a virtual node but it will behave like a

48
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:22,040
planet which we shall see why. So it is unable to satisfy that hunger or hold on

49
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,520
to anything even though it gets something. It wants to move on to the next

50
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,200
and then to the next and then to the next. This is why Rahu is also called as the

51
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:34,160
guy who wants foreign things not of the native land or not of what the person is

52
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,400
natively born in. Why? Because of that insatiable hunger. There's always

53
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,720
insatiable hunger to go after one thing after the another without being able to

54
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:49,440
hold on to it. That's Rahu. Ketu on the other hand is mythologically depicted as

55
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:54,560
the severe body the remaining half of the demon symbolizing constant and less

56
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:59,760
insatiable search for identity. It is looking for the head but it doesn't have

57
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,400
a head. So it is looking for that identity. Everybody's identity ego is

58
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:09,720
centered in the head what you look like. It is also seeking for true purpose

59
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:16,440
sense of self. As a result of this it tries to hold and grab on to everything

60
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,800
that can find its hands on because it has got hands. Ketu has got hands. It's

61
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,720
trying to hold on to everything but it releases immediately because it knows

62
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,680
that's not the head. It's like trying to grasp on to everything thinking oh I

63
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,600
want this or I am this I am that I am this. Not getting any identity because

64
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:39,360
not finding the head there. Since it has arms and walks everywhere it goes

65
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,520
around through life walking from place to place people situation circumstances

66
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,960
but not knowing who or what it is. It doesn't have a head. This is why Ketu

67
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:54,560
is referred to as Mokshakaraka or the seekers path the one energy in us which

68
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,960
seeks something. That's why Ketu is called the Mokshakaraka. Now this is the

69
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,360
classical interpretation. Okay now we shall see how this plays out in the

70
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:08,840
modern interpretation. Very important to connect the bridges. Now here you have

71
00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:13,080
the Rahu Ketu general characteristics as modern interpretation. This I have

72
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,520
borrowed from the book Light on Life by Robert Suvala excellent book. I have put

73
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,640
it in the community tab if you want to go through it or purchase it and read it.

74
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:26,800
I should seriously suggest that. Okay the North node of the moon Rahu. What does it

75
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,680
become because of the characteristics which classically is told in the texts?

76
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:35,240
What does Rahu lead to in the modern context? Rahu is responsible for

77
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:41,240
originality, individuality, independence, insight, ingenuity, inspiration and

78
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:47,360
imagination on the positive side. Because Rahu and Ketu both love to explore

79
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:52,400
foreign stuff. Things out of the box. Things not taught by tradition. Rahu and

80
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,960
Ketu will be anything but traditional. Okay think of it as something foreign to

81
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,440
the culture to the way you are taught things. Looking for original stuff. If

82
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,800
there is one singular force that is responsible for creating everything that

83
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,560
keep modernizing so to speak. Thinking out of the box it is this. That's why it's

84
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:16,480
important to pay attention to this. Okay back to this. So Rahu on the downside

85
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:23,500
leads to confusion, escapism, neurosis, psychosis, deception, addiction,

86
00:07:23,500 --> 00:07:30,720
vagueness, illusion, delusion. This is the downside. How this plays out and

87
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,120
why we'll have to see individually in the charts which you will see that. Okay

88
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:43,200
Ketu. Ketu the guy with only the body, no head there, gives us the feeling of

89
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:50,160
universality, impressionability, idealism, intuition, compassion, spirituality, self

90
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:55,400
sacrifice, subtleness on the positive side. On the downside it can lead to

91
00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:01,000
eccentricity, fanaticism, explosiveness, violence, unconventionality,

92
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:06,920
immorality, iconoclasm, impulsiveness and emotional tensions. This is on the

93
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:13,160
downside. This is what it plays out and Rahu Ketu is typically an axis like

94
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,320
it's shown over there. Right? Rahu Ketu let me remove myself for the time being

95
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:24,080
from that axis. Okay there you are. So you see it as an axis. Okay 180 degrees

96
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,280
apart and it can play out in any one of the opposite houses. It can play out in

97
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:34,560
one seven two eight three nine four ten etc etc. We will see that later. But this

98
00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:40,360
axis becomes a definition point of where in your life in your different houses

99
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,680
are you looking for these two aspects and they are always opposite to each other

100
00:08:44,680 --> 00:08:48,960
as you can see. Okay to stand opposite to each other. So if it plays out in

101
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,080
second house it detaches itself from the eighth house. If Rahu is in second house

102
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:58,040
Ketu will be in the eighth house. You see what I mean? And so you will bring the

103
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:02,880
eighth house aspect with these aspects shown here. Second house with that aspect

104
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:07,640
shown over there. Of course it plays out with something called as dispositors. We

105
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:13,000
shall see that next. Now if you go to a traditional Vedic Astrology they will go

106
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,960
on and on endlessly about dispositors. What the hell is a dispositor? It's an

107
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:22,840
invented term by the Vedic Astrologers. It is no meaning of its own. It shows the

108
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:29,440
disposition and what's the story on this? Rahu and Ketu both are enemies of the

109
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,960
Sun and the Moon. This is the basic principle. So it has the Solar aspect and

110
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,360
the lunar aspect. The Solar aspect is called the dispositor and the lunar

111
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,880
aspect is the nakshatra which gives the entire characteristics and the ball game

112
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:49,280
of Rahu and Ketu. The Solar or the dispositor means since Rahu and Ketu

113
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,600
are enemies with the Sun and do not have a full identity of their own. Remember

114
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:59,840
it's a virtual node. It is not a planet. They both do not have any planetary

115
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:05,640
characteristic individually. So they take on the identity or the disposition of

116
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:11,200
the Lord of the zodiac sign that they sit in and borrow the attributes of the

117
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,240
house from which that Lord sits in. Suppose Mercury is in the third house.

118
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:21,680
Rahu sits in the house of Mercury somewhere else. So it will borrow

119
00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:26,480
the attributes of Mercury sitting in the third house and bring it to that

120
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:33,600
particular house. Wherever Rahu is sitting in. Got it? Nakshatra. Since Rahu and Ketu

121
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:38,720
are enemies with the Moon and do not have a full identity of their own,

122
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:44,640
individually they take on the shade of personality. Nakshatra is essentially a

123
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,480
shade of personality. It's coloring of a personality. It's seeing the world through

124
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:53,680
different colored glasses that they sit in and borrow the nakshatra traits and

125
00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:59,440
attributes which color their propensities. So Rahu and Ketu do two things at the

126
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:04,240
same time. At the solar level it goes with the dispositor that is all of the

127
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:10,080
planets, physical planets, Mercury, Mars, Venus, Sun, Moon, so on. So they take on

128
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,760
attributes of whichever house they are sitting in. If it sits in Rahu, it's in

129
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:18,160
Cancer. You have to look for where Moon is sitting, which house and what it is

130
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:24,960
doing there and even the Moon Nakshatra. If it is sitting in Leo, Rahu in Leo,

131
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,640
that means you have to look for where Sun is sitting and which Nakshatra and

132
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,720
which house. So it will bring those attributes. That's the way you have to

133
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:40,400
analyze this. Let's see some aspects of which house they play in and why.

134
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,560
Now there are some vital aspects that you need to keep in mind when evaluating

135
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:49,840
Rahu and Ketu because this is important especially for people who are sort of

136
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,280
looking for self-development to understand where they are coming from.

137
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,640
If you're not interested in changing yourself, this entire channel is useless

138
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:01,600
for you. But if you're the one who is interested in knowing what is happening

139
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,040
in my life, where do I need to go, what are my talents and you question these

140
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:10,400
kinds of things, excuse the noise somebody is drilling about, so then you need

141
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:16,320
to understand these aspects. Now there's a typical Indian chart and

142
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,920
house numbers are depicted as 1, 2, 3, 4, up till 12.

143
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:24,320
Dharma Artha, Kama Moksha is there. I have stuck Rahu, Ketu as possible

144
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:30,720
axis on the 1, 7 that is Aries and Libra that is the top and the bottom.

145
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,880
So either it can go to house number one or seven. Rahu, Ketu can be reversed, it's

146
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:40,640
okay, it doesn't matter. Or in four and ten. Now one, four, seven and ten in

147
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,000
Vedic Astrology are given very vital importance because they are the

148
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,400
foundational aspects that define who you are, that define how you operate in life,

149
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:53,440
throughout life. So these become crucial. Why? The one, seven

150
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:59,680
axis effects if Rahu and Ketu fall on there has a direct effect on yourself

151
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:03,520
and other concept. One and seven is self and other. How you

152
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,840
relate to yourself and how you relate, look at the world around you as others

153
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,040
including the spouse because seventh house is the house of the spouse but

154
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,040
also others. So how you develop through life and how

155
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,200
you develop a relationship with others. So it defines who you are in a very

156
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,440
broad sense. One, seven axis of Rahu, Ketu. The fourth

157
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,120
pen on the other hand, fourth house being the house of the mother, tenth being

158
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,840
father, fourth being home, tenth being career. You see this as a you know all

159
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:36,320
kinds of implications which define who you are.

160
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,560
The fourth and axis has effects on the heart versus mind.

161
00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:44,000
Mind is the one who goes out there in the world and

162
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,760
being used in the career. You dissipate your energy

163
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:53,520
as the mind in the external world. Heart is your home, your home center where

164
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,280
you feel comfortable. Home is where the heart is that kind of a thing.

165
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:02,320
So heart and home is affected by this Rahu, Ketu axis. Again Rahu and Ketu might

166
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,480
be reversed. Rahu might be in the fourth, Ketu might be in the tenth or vice versa.

167
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:11,280
Same way with one and seven but these are the vital relating aspects of Rahu and

168
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,960
Ketu. Now what about the rest of the houses?

169
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,560
Now rest of the houses are called the Kona or Kona

170
00:14:18,560 --> 00:14:23,200
in Sanskrit. These are the things that come and go in your life.

171
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,520
The second house, third house, fifth house, sixth, eighth,

172
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,280
ninth, eleventh, and twelve. These are the things that come and go in our life

173
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,040
through life, through your entire life. These are things that are added and

174
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:40,640
to subtracted from us but this is not us. One for seven and ten is us.

175
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,760
Everything else is secondary which revolves around you as life comes and

176
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,600
goes. All other axes depict what attachments and

177
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:52,400
detachments we have towards different areas of our life. That's all it is.

178
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:57,040
They are less significant in terms of Rahu and Ketu when compared to one, seven,

179
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,400
four, and ten axes of Rahu and Ketu. Please remember this. When you're

180
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,480
evaluating, you just have more propensity towards one

181
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,720
part of life and less towards others. Rahu is attachment, Ketu is detachment,

182
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,480
Rahu is expansion, Ketu is reduction and they stand

183
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:18,880
opposite to each other all this. Now let's take the cases one by one.

184
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:24,240
Now let us take the first axis and we'll begin with the fourth Pada in

185
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:30,400
Ashwini Nakshatra. In Aries, we'll begin with Rahu in Aries and we'll rotate

186
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:36,000
this axis as you see in the pie chart counterclockwise to finish this

187
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:41,840
entire series one Pada at a time. So it's going to be a long set of parts here.

188
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:46,960
Okay so if you're seeing this in the series somewhere in the in between, you

189
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,720
can see for your Rahu, Ketu axes in which Nakshatra,

190
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,320
which house, etc. they fall in. You can directly fast forward to that area.

191
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,000
Okay but I'll be covering some basics in every one of them just for benefit of

192
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,920
everyone. But you can fast forward and check this.

193
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:09,840
Right. Rahu in Aries and Ketu in Libra. First of all let us see what Aries is.

194
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:16,320
Aries is ruled by Mars. It is Rajasic, Moable, and a male sign

195
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,920
and so is Libra. Rajasic, Moable, and male sign.

196
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,480
Opposite to each other, one and seven. The sign number one and sign number seven.

197
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:31,760
Right. So what do we first look for? We look for the solar aspect, a dispositor.

198
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,200
Rahu's dispositor in this case being in Aries,

199
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:40,960
his Mars. Ketu's dispositor in this case being Libra, being Venus.

200
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:46,800
Okay. Different dispositors. So different kind of energies each one will face.

201
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:51,520
Nakshatra, Partway will get to. But let's just see this table over there,

202
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:56,160
which I'll stick in every one. The table shows the ascendents.

203
00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:00,640
All the ascendents are covered there and the friendly houses, enemy houses, and

204
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:05,200
the neutral houses based on rulership. The rulers of each one are

205
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,560
opposed to each other. You can see exaltation, debilitation series if you

206
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:14,560
are not clear about this. Okay. So within Aries, Aries and Scorpio are

207
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:20,720
friendly to Leo, Cancer, Sagittarius, and Pisces houses wherever they fall in.

208
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,560
Gemina and Virgo because it is ruled by Mercury, it's uncomfortable in.

209
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,400
So if the Mars, which is the dispositor of

210
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:34,240
Rahu in this particular case, if it falls in the house of Gemina and Virgo,

211
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:39,840
depending upon whichever ascendent you are, right? The houses of Mercury, so it

212
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:44,640
will be opposed to it. This will go to the downside of Rahu Ketu,

213
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:49,360
which we saw in the earlier slides. If you want to go to the positive aspects,

214
00:17:49,360 --> 00:17:54,320
Mars does very well in fire science, Leo and Sagittarius for example, or even Aries,

215
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:59,600
right? It does very well in that. It will also do very well in air science.

216
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:05,760
It will do well in Libra, it will do well in Aquarius, it will do well in,

217
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,680
which is the other one we are missing here, air science. Gemini because fire and air

218
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,200
support each other. Okay. In water it kind of tends to get

219
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,200
subdued and go internal. It doesn't go extinguished, it just goes

220
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,640
internal. Yeah. In Scorpio for example, it's a

221
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:25,840
water sign ruled by Mars, right? Okay. So what happens here in this

222
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:32,000
Rahu Ketu axis? It's the last pada of

223
00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:37,120
Ashwini nakshatra. We are starting from last and going to the first.

224
00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:41,440
Okay. So it transcends from Aries to Cancer in

225
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,000
Navamsa. I have marked the line over there in that

226
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,240
table and it goes to Swati in the Artha pada, which goes from air to

227
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,280
earth. You have to follow me quickly here. Yeah.

228
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,000
All the previous videos will give you a background.

229
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:59,600
So it goes from Aries to Cancer in Navamsa and that axis is going towards in

230
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,800
Ketu, Libra to Capricorns. What happens with this

231
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:10,320
individual's life through life is it starts off in a very fiery manner and

232
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:14,560
with a lot of mental energy. Detachment from mental energy but

233
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:19,280
wanting like Aries, like initiator. This person is a powerful initiator in the

234
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,920
beginning phases of life. As they mature over 36, what will happen

235
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:28,400
is they go, Rahu here will want more of an emotional

236
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,960
connect coming down to Cancer. Cancer is a water sign. So it wants to have an

237
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:37,920
emotional connect with things and on the detachment part, the Ketu part, you can

238
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:42,000
see the Ketu characteristics, it will want more detachment from

239
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,080
earthly aspects. Capricorn is an earthly movable sign.

240
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,160
So it wants detachment from that. It is not so much concerned with

241
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:55,200
earthly aspects. It is more concerned with deriving the emotional content out

242
00:19:55,200 --> 00:20:00,560
of the experience of life. This is just the fourth Pada of Ashwini

243
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,880
nakshatra. Now let's see the third Pada.

244
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,080
Now we come to the third Pada of Ashwini which

245
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,400
is shown over there in the table which is going from Aries to Gemini. So it's

246
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:19,840
going from fire to air in the Navamsa and the Rahu there is linked

247
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,600
to Ketu on Swati nakshatra which is going into

248
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:28,080
Dharma Pada, the first one, Libra going into Sagittarius.

249
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,480
So fire going into air and air going into fire.

250
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,600
So there's a lot of movement here, both zodiacs being

251
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:40,480
such, Rajasmova and male signs. There is a lot of activity in this particular

252
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:46,480
Rahu Ketu axis. Very important to find some kind of a grounding for them.

253
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:51,280
They require some earth element here which is missing.

254
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,800
So they can be highly, this Rahu Ketu can be highly

255
00:20:54,800 --> 00:21:01,280
erratic in nature. Moving from lots of ideas, lots of creativity, lots of

256
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,480
passion and going into mental energy and getting

257
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:09,600
detachment from how to ground that wisdom. Sagittarius is the 9th house. It is

258
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,800
grounding. It is not grounding that energy enough in

259
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:17,120
terms of wisdom. It is wanting to go more into a mental

260
00:21:17,120 --> 00:21:21,200
plane later on in life. They start with the fire but they go into

261
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:25,840
air sign. So they become more of thinkers kind of mentality.

262
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,760
Very difficult to ground the thinkers, isn't it? But this is what this Rahu Ketu

263
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:34,240
axis will provide and of course we got to see the dispositors. Where the Mars

264
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:40,160
is and where the Venus is will show you where this person's creativity and

265
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,360
drive really lies and whether Mars or Venus are

266
00:21:43,360 --> 00:21:46,640
exalted and debilitated. Look at the table over there.

267
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,480
Mars and Venus can be exalted and debilitated in different signs like

268
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:55,200
that in the table. So compare this. Okay.

269
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,480
Now let's see the second Pada.

270
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:04,080
Now you see the second Pada Rahu Ketu axis in that by over there.

271
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:09,120
In the second Pada what happens in Ashwini and which leads to the fourth

272
00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:13,280
Pada of Chitranakshatra now here. Change the nakshatra. See there it's coming in

273
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:18,800
Chitranakshatra in the fourth Pada. So what does this mean?

274
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,680
Chitranakshatra is about creativity on the one side.

275
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:26,800
High degree of creativity. It's a celestial architect Vishwakarma and Ashwini

276
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,720
is represented by the horse heredity who are the initiators.

277
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,560
The proper areas here and now we also come to the

278
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,160
Gandanta point, the transformation points. You can see the

279
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,720
Gandanta, the point of transformation video of mine earlier in this

280
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:49,200
in my channel. So the second Pada, the first Pada of Ashwini and the

281
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,120
fourth and third Pada of Revati. These are the transformational points. So for

282
00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:57,280
Rahu and Ketu this becomes a highly transformational point in life.

283
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:04,080
Okay. Through life. Why is that? Because it's going from Artha,

284
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:08,800
Artha Pada of Ashwini going from Aries to Tauras. That means air going into

285
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,480
earth later in life. Meaning they are becoming more and more grounded through

286
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,720
life on the one hand and on the opposite side they are

287
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,960
going getting detachment. The Moksha sign. They want to get detached from

288
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,640
everything. They want to just distill it to the emotional

289
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:30,080
content of whatever they have learned. Okay. Libra going into Scorpio. Highly

290
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:35,840
internal. Ketu does very well in Scorpio. So Ketu here goes into Scorpio in the

291
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:40,320
Navamsa and Rahu goes into Tauras in the Navamsa which are

292
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:45,840
exactly opposite ways of functioning. Rahu is very exalted in Tauras and Ketu

293
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:51,920
is very exalted in Scorpio. So on the one hand they have this push and pull

294
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:56,560
drive between extreme amount of materialism to extreme amount of

295
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,160
spirituality and detachment. This is the push and pull.

296
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,920
Remember Rahu and Ketu is all about push and pull of the energies.

297
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:08,000
Your drive. What is it leading you to? What do you want on one hand and what

298
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,600
are you what are you running away from on another hand?

299
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:17,120
That's what Rahu Ketu teaches in life. Now let's get into the next gandhanda

300
00:24:17,120 --> 00:24:20,560
point. The first Pada of Ashwini. The highest

301
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,480
exaltation of Ashwini. Because it's Aries meeting Aries

302
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,400
and in Chitra it means Libra also. Very interesting

303
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:33,200
gandhanda point because that's the beginning of all the zodiacs.

304
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,840
Right now the first Pada of Aries is as you can see in the table

305
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:42,880
Dharmapada which is going Aries to Aries. It leads to the right opposite sign

306
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:47,440
is the Kamapada or Libra going into Libra. So this is

307
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:53,280
called Vargotama or the same sign going into the same sign in Navamsa.

308
00:24:53,280 --> 00:25:00,160
Basically which means the energy of Aries is very strong and the energy of

309
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,720
Libra is also very strong in this. Which means to say what? You have to pay

310
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,000
close attention to the dispositors in this case.

311
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,160
Where Mars is situated in the horoscope? Whether Mars is exalted or debilitated?

312
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,240
You can see my earlier video on that. Where the Venus is placed and where it

313
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,240
is exalted or debilitated? In both the Bachat and in the Navamsa.

314
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,840
You need to know the kind of progression of maturity

315
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,760
of this Rahu and Ketu through life. That's what we are looking at.

316
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,760
When we are looking at Rahu and Ketu and I shall close with this

317
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:37,440
is what we are understanding is how a person is maturing in their desires,

318
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:42,800
drives, intelligence. Basically spiritual maturity isn't it?

319
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:48,080
That's what we are looking for here. So ladies and gentlemen that's my take on

320
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:52,320
Ashwini Swati Chitra. Next we shall be taking the Revati Nakshtra because we

321
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,720
are going counterclockwise. Rahu and Ketu move opposite to all the other

322
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,320
planets. So it is going counterclockwise. We'll take the

323
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:18,480
Revati Nakshtra. In the meantime take care be safe.
