Hey beautiful people welcome to my channel.
Rahu and Ketu study part 11.
Now we are entering the zone of Scorpio.
Rahu in Scorpio.
Going through Jaishtha nakshatra and to Anvaradha nakshatra.
Right of the bat you got to see this is going to be an intense stuff.
Scorpio is everything intense.
Think about Mars and Ketu together.
What is a fiery planet like Mars doing in a watery sand like Scorpio?
Just think about that.
Water stands for emotions.
Mars being a fiery planet equals to fiery emotions.
Intense fiery internal emotions.
Ketu being Moksha Karaka.
Corolled by Mars and Ketu Scorpio.
Should tell you a story that there is a lot of past life energy there.
So Scorpio is intensely a karmic sign.
So when you place Rahu here what happens in Jaishtha nakshatra and in the previous one
part 10 I forgot to mention to you.
The Moola nakshatra and Jaishtha are in the Gandanta points.
Remember the Gandanta points video.
That's going between the fire and the water signs.
It's moving from Sagittarius now we are going into Scorpio.
So Scorpio to Sagittarius is a transition sign.
Water going into fire signs.
Pisces to Aries.
Leo to Cancer or Cancer to Leo and Scorpio to Sagittarius.
These are the transformational points.
And Rahu Ketu being transformational nodes.
The so called karmic nodes which many astrologers go endlessly about.
These ones will become the transformational energies one is required to solve in this
lifetime.
So it becomes pretty intense.
And remember this.
Rahu is Bhoga Karaka.
Rahu wants material stuff.
Rahu wants to gain fame, popularity, wealth, abundance, materialistic stuff.
He wants all this good stuff of life.
But Scorpio is not interested in that.
Scorpio is interested in intense internal emotions.
Fiery internal all consuming emotions links to the other side of the veil psychic energy
that's all Scorpio.
Now what is a guy who want all materialistic stuff doing in Scorpio?
Very interesting isn't it?
So it becomes all very headless.
Rahu is truly headless in Scorpio because of this reason.
Because it wants material stuff.
Scorpio wants nothing to do with material stuff.
It wants only emotion.
And ironically speaking these kind of science will become very good psychologists, psychiatrists.
They will think about doing helping people with their minds, with their intensity.
Intensity of emotions which drives people nuts.
Go to a psychologist, psychiatrist chair you will find all nutty characters who are losing
their mind.
So they become good at studying that.
Rahu wants to bring that as a study.
Because Rahu loves to bring stuff in the external world, in the material world.
He doesn't want to keep stuff inside like Scorpio does.
He wants to bring that knowledge outwards.
So they may make, depending upon where Jupiter, Mars, K2 etc are placed.
These people make excellent psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, student counselors
of kind.
Because they love to deal with aspects of the mind.
That's where Rahu wants to go here.
Bring it to the world.
Let us see.
Badabai, badana.
Now if you are new to my channel and if you have been through the previous Rahu Ketu videos
as usual you can skip the middle part where I give introduction to what the hell is this
Rahu Ketu about, the classical text and the interpretations and go to directly the pie
chart where I do badabai, badana.
Analysis.
Let's go.
So number one, the classical characteristics of Rahu and Ketu as described by the classical
Vedic literature.
What is Rahu and Ketu?
These are the north and the south nodes of the moon found by the virtual points which
are the intersection points between orbit of the moon around the earth and orbit of
the earth around the sun.
So basically if you take two ellipses, it will form two intersection points.
So these two intersection points are called the north node and the south node.
They are virtual nodes although they behave like planets and we shall see why in a minute.
So who is Rahu?
The symbols are there like a horseshoe and the reverse horseshoe.
This is typically how it is portrayed in western astrology.
So I am using the same symbol here.
Rahu is mythologically depicted as the severe head of a demon symbolizing constant and
less insatiable hunger and appetite be it sensual or physical yet it is unable to hold
on to or grasp it.
Rahu is the one who constantly wants something.
Think of it as a live head only not the body.
So it can't hold on to anything or be satisfied even if it gets that thing since it has no
arms or body or stomach just a head which is alive.
This gives Rahu the title of Bhoga Karaka or meaning one who is after sensory materialistic
pursuits.
So think any earth sign for example they want sensory materialistic pursuits or think any
of the signs literally whatever they are after Rahu wants that and wants that very badly
and goes after it with everything.
This is an energy in us by the way it is not a planet it is a virtual node but it will
behave like a planet which we shall see why.
So it is unable to satisfy that hunger or hold on to anything even though it gets something
it wants to move on to the next and then to the next and then to the next.
This is why Rahu is also called as the guy who wants foreign things not of the native
land or not of what the person is natively born in.
Why because of that insatiable hunger there is always insatiable hunger to go after one
thing after the other without being able to hold on to it.
That's Rahu.
Ketu on the other hand is mythologically depicted as the severe body the remaining half of the
demon symbolizing constant and less insatiable search for identity it is looking for the
head but it doesn't have a head.
So it is looking for that identity everybody's identity ego is centered in the head what
you look like.
It is also seeking for true purpose sense of self as a result of this it tries to hold
and grab on to everything that can find its hands on because it has got hands Ketu has
got hands.
It's trying to hold on to everything but it releases immediately because it knows that's
not the head.
It's like trying to grasp on to everything thinking oh I want this or I am this I am
that I am this not getting any identity because not finding the head there.
Since it has arms and walks everywhere it goes around through life walking from place
to place people situation circumstances but not knowing who or what it is it doesn't have
a head.
This is why Ketu is referred to as Moksha Karaka or the seekers path the one energy in us which
seeks something that's why Ketu is called the Moksha Karaka.
Now this is the classical interpretation.
Now we shall see how this plays out in the modern interpretation very important to connect
the bridges.
Now here you have the Rahu Ketu general characteristics as modern interpretation this I have borrowed
from the book Light on life by Robert's excellent book I have put it in the community tab if
you want to go through it up and read it I seriously suggest that.
Okay the North node of the moon Rahu what does it become because of the characteristics
which classically is told in the texts what does Rahu lead to in the modern context.
Rahu is responsible for originality individuality independence in sight ingenuity inspiration
and imagination on the positive side because Rahu and Ketu both love to explore foreign
stuff things out of the box things not taught by tradition Rahu and Ketu will be anything
but traditional okay think of it as something foreign to the culture to the way you are
taught things looking for original stuff if there is one singular force that is responsible
for creating everything that keep modernizing so to speak thinking out of the box it is
this that's why it's important to pay attention to this.
Okay back to this so Rahu on the downside becomes leads to confusion escapism neurosis
psychosis deception addiction vagueness illusion in delusion this is the downside now how this
plays out and why we learn to see individually in the charts which will see that okay Ketu
the guy with only the body no head there is gives us the feeling of universality impression
ability idealism intuition compassion spirituality self sacrifice subtleness on the positive
side on the downside can lead to eccentricity fanaticism explosiveness violence unconventionality
immorality iconoclasm impulsiveness and emotional tensions this is on the downside this is what
it plays out and Rahu Ketu is typically an axis like we shown over there right Rahu Ketu
let me remove myself for the time being from that axis okay there you are so you see it
as an axis okay 180 degrees apart and it can play out in any one of the opposite houses
it can play out in 172839410 etc etc we will see that later but this axis becomes a definition
point of where in your life in your different houses are you looking for these two aspects
and they are always opposite to each other as you can see okay to stand opposite to each
other so if it plays out in second house it detaches itself from the eighth house if Rahu
is in second house it will be in the eighth house you see what I mean and so you will
bring the eighth house aspect with these aspects shown here second house with that aspect shown
over there of course it plays out with something called as dispositors we shall see that next
now if you go to a traditional Vedic Astrology they will go on and on endlessly about dispositors
what the hell is a dispositor it's an invented term by the Vedic Astrologers it is no meaning
of its own it shows the disposition and what's the story on this Rahu and Ketu both are enemies
of the Sun and the Moon this is the basic principle so it has the solar aspect and the
lunar aspect the solar aspect is called the dispositor and the lunar aspect is the nakshatra
which gives the entire characteristics and the ball game of Rahu and Ketu okay the solar
or the dispositor means since Rahu and Ketu are enemies with the Sun and do not have a
full identity of their own remember it's a virtual node it is not a planet they both
do not have any planetary characteristic individually so they take on the identity or the disposition
of the Lord of the zodiac sign that they sit in and borrow the attributes of the house
from which that Lord sits in suppose Mercury is in the third house okay and Rahu sits in
the house of Mercury somewhere else so it will borrow the attributes of Mercury sitting
in the third house and bring it to that particular house wherever Rahu is sitting in got it nakshatra
since Rahu and Ketu are enemies with the Moon and do not have a full identity of their own
individually they take on the shade of personality nakshatra is essentially a shade of personality
it's coloring of a personality it's seeing the world through different colored glasses
that they sit in and borrow the nakshatra traits and attributes which color their propensities
so Rahu and Ketu do two things at the same time at the solar level it goes with the dispositor
that is all of the planets physical planets Mercury Mars Venus Sun Moon Sun so they take
on the attributes of whichever house they are sitting if it sits in Rahu sits in cancer
it will you have to look for where Moon is sitting which house and what it is doing there
and even the Moon nakshatra if it is sitting in Leo Rahu in Leo that means it will you
have to look for where Sun is sitting and which nakshatra and which house so it will
bring those attributes that's the way you have to analyze this okay let's see some aspects
of which house they play in and why and there are some vital aspects that you need to keep
in mind when evaluating Rahu and Ketu because this is important especially for people who
are sort of looking for self-development to understand where they are coming from if
you're not interested in changing yourself this entire channel is useless for you but
if the other one who is interested in knowing what is happening in my life where do I need
to go what are my talents and you question these kinds of things excuse the noise somebody
is drilling about so then you need to understand these aspects now that's the typical chart
Indian chart and house numbers are depicted as 1 2 3 4 up till 12 Dharmartha Kama Moksha
is there and I have stuck Rahu Ketu as possible axis on the 1 7 that is there is in Libra
that is the top and the bottom so either it can put a house number one or seven Rahu
Ketu can be reversed it's okay it doesn't matter or in 4 and 10 now 1 4 7 and 10 in Vedic Astrology
are given very vital importance because they are the foundational aspects that define who
you are that define how you operate in life throughout life so these become crucial why
the one seven axis effects if Rahu and Ketu fall on there has a direct effect on yourself
and other concept one in seven is self another how you relate to yourself and how you relate
look at the world around you as others including the spouse because seven houses house of the
spouse but also others so how you develop through life and how you develop a relationship
with others so it defines who you are in a very broad sense one seven axis of Rahu Ketu
the fourth one on the other hand fourth house being the house of the mother and being father
fourth being home and being carrier you see this as a you know all kinds of implications
which define who you are the fourth and axis has effects on the heart versus mind mind
what is the one who goes out there in the world and being used in the career that you
dissipate your energy as the mind in the external world heart is your home your home center
where you feel comfortable home is where the heart is that kind of a thing so hard and
home is affected by this Rahu Ketu axis again Rahu Ketu might be reversed Rahu might be in
the fourth Ketu might be in the tenth or vice versa same way with one and seven but these
are the vital relating aspects of Rahu and Ketu now what about the rest of the houses
now rest of the houses are called the corner or corner in Sanskrit right these are the
things that come and go in your life let me second house third house fifth house sixth
eighth ninth eleventh that well these are the things that come and go in our life through
life through your entire life these are things are added into subtracted from us but this
is not us 147 and 10 is us everything else is secondary which revolves around you as
life comes and goes all other axis depict what attachments and attachments we have towards
different areas of our life that's all it is they are less significant in terms of Rahu
in Ketu when compared to 174 and 10 axis of Rahu in Ketu please remember this when you're
evaluating you just have more propensity towards one part of life and less towards others Rahu
is attachment Ketu is detachment Rahu is expansion Ketu is reduction and they stand opposite
to each other all this right now let's take the cases one by one now we begin with the
fourth Pada of Jishtha now the fourth and the third Pada which you see marked there
both will be the Gandhanta points the strongly karmic change with this person is required
to solve some very very strong karmic lessons in life this Rahu and Ketu if it's in your
bachak take note of it you will be undergoing transformation in your life period doesn't
matter where you are which culture you are born in you will go transformation because
this is in the Gandhanta point and so is Moolana Kshatra first and second Pada there because
it is going from water to fire sign now in the first Pada again Artha Moksha so Scorpio
meaning we are talking Mars and Ketu as the dispositor Ketu doesn't have any other behavior
except where its planet stands which our house it stands in and power and going into Taurus
in Virgo right Murgishirsa but now it is in Taurus you can see there the second Pada
of Murgishira so although the Rahu is transiting only Jishtha and Akshatra now we are talking
about Jishtha and Akshatra but Ketu while this transit is going on is moving between
Murgishirsa which is the first and second are in Taurus and going into Rohini in Taurus
so we are covering Taurus and Scorpio again Taurus Scorpio is an intensely opposite nature
of materialism to spiritualism attachment to attachment I want stuff versus I don't
want stuff okay so Ketu here in Navamsa goes to Virgo where dispositor becomes Mercury
about materialistic gains now Ketu doesn't do well in materialism Ketu does well in Moksha
Ketu does well in seeking higher knowledge pursuits wisdom it's interested in those kinds
of things because it is seeking identity in Navamsa where as a Rahu is placed in Pisces
Scorpio will mean to Pisces so it's sort of an ascendance of emotional learning emotional
wisdom graduation of emotional wisdom you might say that's what Rahu gives in this particular
Pada the fourth Pada of Jishtha and think of course Jishtha Nakshatra what are the themes
it is the psychology of being an elder one all the issues of being an elder one in the
family the elder one being criticized the elder one not feeling wanted not feeling welcome
not feeling loved enough think of all the themes as an if you are an elder person in
the family amongst the siblings what all responsibilities you have to go all of the
elder themes in the family wherever it's concerned the eldest of the family or maybe even the
youngest who feels like the eldest is centered around Jishtha Nakshatra so Rahu in Jishtha
wants to will follow the theme of Jishtha Nakshatra who will want to be like the boss
who will want to be like I know better than you who will want to be like I know who you
are I know better wisdom than you and so it becomes a thing of not listening to good advice
not listening to counsel not listening to other people and being in Scorpio it's a fixed
sign so it has got a lot of internal ego mystical tussle going on all the time with this Rahu
pretty intense I told you Scorpio but only intensity intensity intensity let's see
the third Pada so I'm a third but I'd goes into Leo Aquarius segment right which is Dharma
coming into Kama meaning you have to get the K2 if it sits in Dharma it wants to bring
in wisdom from the past life just remember that has a point K2 if it sits in the Dharma
Pada it wants to bring in knowledge from past life what is the knowledge of past life it
has it has Leo it has Sun it has ancestor energy Doris going into Leo will be bringing
about wisdom from ancestors but Rahu is sitting in Aquarius does very well in Aquarius so
it will go on bring want to bring this as knowledge for the world that means these people
can become two things which are very opposite because it is Scorpio it can become very intense
leaders very emotionally driven leaders motivators who can emotionally motivate large crowds
could be a good thing I'm taking the positive sides become excellent emotional coaches emotional
counselors become even public speakers on platforms like YouTube who know what is an
emotional body let's just put it that way these people can do very well in that but for that
they need to bring in their ancestral energy we keep forgetting this ancestral energy business
a lot hopefully I'll cover it in the future videos but ancestor energy is so powerful
is so necessary we all have a family lineage we are born in this body gifted by our ancestors
parents grandparents great grandparents and so on so forth right up the ladder this body
belongs to them not to us you know let's talk about Pada too now in Pada too it goes
between cancer to Capricorn when you go Moksha Pada to Artha Pada meaning and Ketu sits in
Moksha Pada it does very well in Moksha Pada meaning Dharma and Moksha are the are the strong
points of Ketu but in Moksha Pada it is bringing great wisdom from a water sign in this case
being cancer so it's doing very motherly energies the energies of the land cancer stands for
the land water emotional so Ketu has that wisdom and now it's bringing it to Jesta in Capricorn
Capricorn is Rahu does very well because it's a grounded sign it's a materialistic sign it
wants to go and get stuff done in the physical world so it becomes grounded it's like finding
the head Rahu finds himself here it's like ah I know what to do now I do this and this and this
and this and this so Rahu in this Artha Pada shines and Capricorn dispositor being Satan so
you'll have to see in the Navamsha where the Satan is lying you might even have to see the
10th divisional chart if you want to see if they're making a career out of it but it does very
well in this this is a more grounded Pada you see now how if you've gone through all my Rahu
Ketu videos how the Pada becomes so crucial to understand from one Pada to another the angle
changes just by three degrees 20 minutes but it makes all the difference in life all the difference
in life let's take the last the first Pada of Jesta okay so in the first Pada of Jesta we have the
access of well Gemini and Sagittarius okay so the student in the teacher dynamic okay Gemini
here these people will be very very mental in that approach now these are the ones who
make good shrinks good psychiatrist good yeah psychiatrist psychologist right because Sagittarius
and Gemini are the axis in the Vamsha of Jupiter and Mercury so it's all about intellect intellectualizing
emotions because it's still an emotional science Scorpio so this is how Rahu will work here so
you got to check the dispositors in the Vamsha you got to check for Mars and Ketu for how the
Rahu is acting between the natal and Vamsha and you got to check our sign also where the materialistic
detachment is there I don't want material stuff what will you do with all these cars and fancy
houses nothing they're not interested in it so this is how it works here okay next we shall
be doing Anuradha nakshatra the second aspect of Scorpio which is very different from Jesta okay
and if you don't know where what the each one of these nakshatras really mean you can check out my
playlist 27 nakshatras it's just that simple you will find the meanings of the life themes of
each one okay be careful be safe I'll see you in the next one
