Good morning wonderful people welcome to my channel
Rahu and Ketu study part 12
why should you study this Rahu and Ketu?
just a personal questions I want to leave you with to think about first
why should you study this Rahu and Ketu?
is it even real?
is it just a hogwash?
that I leave it to you
but the fact that you are touching this knowledge
I urge you to take it more seriously than you think right now
does Rahu Ketu play an important role in my life?
it does
can I change it?
can I change the way I have function in Rahu and Ketu once I know it?
no you can't
it's a lesson for life
you are working this puzzle through your life
through your entire life
can I work with it?
if I know what is there
yes that's where I am coming from
that's why I am sharing all this knowledge with you
okay?
this entire channel is about empowerment
it is not about trying to get one thing right and one thing wrong
it's not about wrong and right
it's not about good and bad
it's about getting to know who you are first
yes you can work with it
that's the good news
yes you can get to know yourself better
your obsessions
your compulsions
your desires
your subconscious desires
you are far far better trust me than the Freudian psychology
that seems like child's play compared to what Vedic Astrology
and the ancients in this land called India told us
in fact when I
the more I research
Vedic Astrology and how deep it is
it surprises me how much there is a difference between how the ancients in India
in this land lived
outrageously truthful
compared to how the current people in this subcontinent are
are these even those Indians
or is there some other people who lived here
it's that vastly different
vastly different
these people were bold
they were outrageous in their research
they were
they wanting to see the truth beyond everything
and that's because the Kundalini of the planet was here
all this time now it's shifting to Latin America
so things will change
and so I bring this knowledge for all you young folks
that's what I'm interested in working with
is to understand
beyond the mythology, beyond the tale telling
beyond just the traditional approach
there's nothing wrong with the knowledge
it's who touches it
it's always at least bear that in mind
it's never the fault of the knowledge
but who, what kind of mind is participating in that knowledge
think about that
think about how the world is today
is the knowledge bad?
no
are the people who are making wrong use of things
that's the problem right there
right
okay that was a personal note
now Rahu and Ketu
study part 12 is about now
we have arrived at Rahu going into Anuradha Naksata
right
so let's begin the study
and I will
cover the introduction to what the hell is Rahu and Ketu is all about
what's the big fuss
so let's see what the traditional texts say
what the modern interpretation is
and how we can work with it later on
in the pie chart
so let's start
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 eclipses
ellipses
it will form two intersection points
yeah
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 hor shoe and the reverse hor shoe
right
this is typically how it is portrayed in western astrology
so I am using the same symbol here
Rahu is mythologically depicted as the
seated 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
so who is the one who constantly wants something
think of it as a live head only
not the body
okay
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 Bhogakaraka
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 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
right?
it is also seeking for true purpose
sense of self
as a result of this
it tries to hold and grab on
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 it's 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
ok 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
so it was an excellent book I have put it in the community tab
if you want to go through it or purchase it
read it I should seriously suggest that
ok
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, insight
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
ok 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 keeps modernizing
so to speak
thinking out of the box it is this
that's why it's important to pay attention to this
ok back to this
so Rahu on the downside
leads to confusion
escapism
neurosis, psychosis, deception
addiction, vagueness
illusion, delusion
this is the downside
how this plays out and why we
will have to see individually in the charts
which you will see that ok
Ketu
the guy with only the body
no head there
is
the feeling of universality
impressionability, 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
Rahu Ketu let me remove myself
for the time being from that axis
ok there you are
so you see it as an axis
180 degrees apart
and it can play out in any one of the
opposite houses it can play out in
1, 7, 2, 8, 3, 9, 4, 10 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
to stand opposite to each other
so if it plays out in second house
it detaches itself from the 8th house
if Rahu is in second house
Ketu will be in the 8th house
you see what I mean
and so you will bring the 8th 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 astrologer
they will go on and on endlessly about
dispositors what the hell is a dispositor
it is an invented term by the vedic astrologers
it is no meaning of its own
it shows the disposition
and what is 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
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 is 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
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 is colouring of a personality
it is seeing the world through different coloured glasses
that they sit in and borrow the nakshatra
traits and attributes
which colour 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 in
if it sits in Rahu sits in cancer
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
you have to look for where sun is sitting
and which nakshatra and which house
so it will bring those attributes
that is the way you have to analyse this
ok
let's see some aspects of which house they play in
and why
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 are 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 is the typical chart
Indian chart
and house numbers are depicted as
1, 2, 3, 4, up till 12
and I have stuck
Rahu, Ketu as possible
axis on the 1, 7
that is there is a Libra
that is the top and the bottom
so either it can go to house number 1
or 7, Rahu, Ketu can be reversed
it's ok 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 1, 7 axis effects
if Rahu and Ketu fall on there
has a direct effect
on yourself and other concept
1 and 7 is self and other
how you relate to yourself
and how you relate look at the world around you
as others including the spouse
because 7th house is the 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
1, 7 axis of Rahu, Ketu
the 4th one on the other hand
4th house being the house of the mother
10th being father, 4th being home
10th being career
you see this has a you know all kinds of
implications which define
who you are
the 4th and axis has effects
on the heart versus mind
mind is the one who goes out there
in the world and being
used in the career 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 heart and home
is affected by this Rahu, Ketu axis
again Rahu and Ketu might be reversed
Rahu might be in the 4th
Ketu might be in the 10th or vice versa
same way with 1 and 7 but these are the
vital relating aspects
of Rahu and Ketu
what about the rest of the houses
now rest of the houses
are called 3 kona or kona
in Sanskrit right
these are the things that come and go in your life
let it be 2nd house
3rd house, 5th house
6th, 8th, 9th, 11th
12th these are the things that come and go
in our life through life
through your entire life
these are things that are added into subtracted from us
but this is not us
1, 4, 7 and 10 is us
everything else is secondary
which revolves around you as life comes and goes
all other axis
depict what attachments and detachment
we have towards different areas of our life
that's all it is
they are less significant
in terms of Rahu and Ketu
when compared to 1, 7, 4 and 10 axis of Rahu and Ketu
please remember this
when you are 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
now let's take the cases
for Ravan
so let's begin the Pada analysis
now we have Rahu
in the 4th Pada
of Anuradha Nakshatra
so we will take Rahu through the journey
of all 4 Padas of Anuradha Nakshatra
in Scorpio
and Ketu
will transit on the other side
of the axis
from Rohini
through Taurus basically from Rohini to Krittika Nakshatra
now you might have noticed a trend
here if you are following all these studies
whenever I stick Rahu
and take it through one particular Nakshatra
the other side Ketu
will be going through
typically 2 separate Nakshatras
or 2 separate zodiac sign
R and Nakshatras
this should tell you
that what we bring to the table
as we go through the Padas
through life
these people will have different
kind of abilities come forth
to them Ketu is typically
of
this is how Ketu tries to
remember past lives
through age and maturity
this is how people change through age
in the beginning phase of life
they will be like ok this is happening
of a certain
knowledge of a certain propensity
of a certain kind of intelligence
certain kind of where
the intelligence wants to go and shine
that kind of thing
first part of life
the second part of life it just flips
it goes to another side that's what it should tell you
ok
so the fourth Pada
of Anuradha Nakshatra
is as corpio as it can get
because it is
Natal Scorpio, Navamsa Scorpio
and Ketu on the other side
in Artha Pada of Rohini
is as
Taurus as it can get
it's Taurus in Natal, Taurus in Navamsa
this kind of a situation
where it is in same
zodiac sign in
Natal and Navamsa is called Vargotama
in Vedic Astrology
meaning the energy is very very
strong ok and if you
place Rahu in Ketu in this
axis
what does Rahu in Ketu want? they are unconventional fellows
ok
both sides
one wants to be detached
in Rohini Nakshatra
meaning it wants to be detached in Taurus
meaning you have to see the dispositor of Venus
meaning wherever Venus is sitting
and whatever strengths it is actually providing you
whatever talents you have
like arts creativity Venus
you tend to ignore it
although you will be very good at it
this is an illusion of Ketu
and on the other side Rahu
doesn't have much of a stuff but he wants to
achieve
Rahu is a headless guy
well he is a
bodyless head
he wants to go out there and achieve
at all costs that is Rahu
and in Anuradha Nakshatra
it does not do very well because
Anuradha is what? now we have to talk
about themes of Anuradha
Anuradha is about devotion of love
Anuradha wants to feel love
Anuradha wants to feel sexual orgasm
Anuradha wants to feel the connection
with the partner
it is following Radha
it is the partner of Krishna
so in the theme of Radha
she ultimately became devoted to Krishna
it is the transcendence
of sexual energy
into spiritual energy
it is very deeply Scorpio
and in that fourth Pada it is
extremely Scorpio in nature
so Rahu here will tend to get
explore or become
obsessive about love
about relationships
about having many sexual partners
depending upon where
Mars is placed because Mars rules
that
Scorpio right? Mars is the dispositor
first order of business is always the
dispositor
so depending upon where Mars is
placed this Rahu
can get very very intensely
obsessed about love
love as in
man to a woman or your partners
whatever the preference is
so it becomes obsessive
about that it wants to have
unconventional style of relationships
these days you see all kinds of
different styles of relationships
unconventional style
they might want to explore deeper sides
of unconventional type of sexuality
imagine that
this is where this kind of a Rahu Ketu comes in
right?
so this can become
very intensely emotional because
Rahu wants to explore it in the
external world
Rahu is not interested in
spiritual satisfaction of going in the
heart it is interested in finding things
in the external world while Rahu is always
the hunter it hunts for
it's what it wants to achieve
depending upon which nakshatra
which zodiac and that's what journey we are
taking okay
so that's what the first
fourth padadas very intensely
scorpio on one side
and very detached from material stuff
Rohini what is Rohini about?
Rohini about material achievement
Rohini is about beauty these people
Taurus
is now we are looking at
this posital called Venus
Taurus is ruled by Venus but
Taurus is a very grounded sign
these people might be very good looking
physically charming
but they might be detached from it
I know I am good looking I am not bothered
too much about it I want to go and
find love
that's that axis but you
need your Ketu
talents wherever Venus is placed in your
chart in order to achieve
what the Mars wants to achieve
in scorpio
Mars will assist that Rahu
in achieving whatever it needs
to achieve that's the way you
gotta look at it let us see
padad 3
so in the third padada we are
moved in the navamsha part from
iris libra
still always remember the natal chart
rules so you gotta look
at Mars where it's placed look at where its
Venus is placed the Venus part of it
will be detached from the Mars
part of it will be attached to
whatever Mars wants to do
Rahu will want to amplify that
want to go after it
now but in navamsha this
transits from scorpio to libra
so
the dispositor
changes to Venus
in navamsha for Rahu
on the other side Ketu
goes from
Venus back to Mars
so it's the flip of Mars
and Venus so this
kind of person
wherever this Rahu Ketu is placed
in that area they will tend to flip
they will tend to change sides
first half of life they might be very
emotional very
driven by Mars and then
detached to
the Venus part of it means
they might have less sensitivity they might be
more action oriented later half of life
they might be more action oriented less
sensitivity see how this
plays out is very interesting
so you gotta see the dispositor where it's
placed and I am also stuck in the table there
right I have stuck in the table of
dispositor and friends and enemies
that matters a lot sometimes they don't do well
either sometimes it is debilitated
so have a look at that
next let's see pada 2
so in the second pada
it goes from scorpio to vargo
as you can see marked in the arrow over there
right over there
and moksha pada
it goes from torus to spices
so we are seeing a switch
between vargo and spices
right so what is a vargo and spices
energy vargo and spices is about
wanting material gain
or wanting emotional content out of it
wanting to gain everything
in the material world wanting to gain
everything in the emotional world these are the opposite
axis of Pisces and vargo
right 6 and 12
now as you can see this
axis over there
the Mars in scorpio
you got to see where the Mars is placed
but scorpio here wants to do
more in terms of
practicality
the scorpio here becomes practical
going into vargo later on in life
Ketu on the other hand
is detached from Venus but later on
it gains wisdom through life
but wisdom is in the background
wisdom is not very visible
Ketu is always like in the background
somewhere in the shadow it is not very visible
you need to make it visible
through the energy of Rahu
Ketu needs to move towards Rahu
this is why I indicate this arrow like this
Ketu from here moving
into Rahu over there
that's the only way to solve this practically
otherwise you will be stuck in one or the other parts
also what you see now
Anuradha
has moved on the Ketu side
it has moved to Krithika nakshatra
Scorpio is still with Taurus
there is a push and pull of material
to emotional
however in this case
it is going into Krithika nakshatra
Krithika nakshatra has got the power of
Agni so there is a very
fiery energy to this
Krithika is ruled by Agni
lot of fire
the Pleiades
so in this case
I could put it this way
that the wisdom from the past
life needs to be brought
understood
and it needs to be brought
in a practical manner later in life
for this Scorpio that will work best
for this Rahu Ketu axis
this kind of approach will work best
they need to study through their past life
they need to dig that deep
emotions
now let's see the first one
now in the first
Pada of Anuradha
it is looking in the opposite side of Ketu
in Aquarius
it is going into Krithika nakshatra
3rd Pada and into
Namamsa of Aquarius
as you can see there this line
this representing the Rahu over here
and that representing Ketu over there
and that's Aquarius
and that's Leo
now as I have spoken before
this Leo Aquarius axis what is it brought
first it is going from Kama
going into Dharma
and you have to
you are detached from some desire
that you want to achieve fame
Aquarius is about masses
achieving fame in the masses
and now it is going into Leo
that means you want fame for yourself
the Leo Aquarius
is a father son tussle
it's all about
should I do this for my fame
for my achievement, for my success
look at me look at me look at me kind of approach
Leo, proud,
arrogant, narcissistic
egotistical
Aquarius is saying
I want to do this for the masses like the socialist
like the communist like that kind of energy
I want to do for the greater good of the people
so Ketu if I stick in here
what happens I have to look at where Saturn is placed
he is the ruler of Aquarius
and I have to look at where sun
is because he is the ruler
of Leo
Leo
right
and then I have to gauge what we are trying to achieve
why do I
want to bring the energy of Saturn
and fuel it to the sun
why do I need to
use my knowledge
from the past life of working with the masses
and now bring it towards
me becoming the leader
this would be a good approach
a more grounded approach
in understanding this particular axis
okay
next we will be dealing with
who is the next guy on the list
so now we are
entering the leaving Scorpio
there is only the fourth pada
of Vishakha in the Scorpio
but remaining all as Libra
so we enter the Aries Libra
axis slowly right
in the meantime take care be safe
good bye
