Good morning wonderful people welcome to my channel Rahu and Ketu study part 16
we are on a personal note first so what are we doing when we are saying we are
studying a Rahu and Ketu we are studying the strongest desire hidden
motivations desires propensities inclination subconscious desires on the
one hand which is Rahu strongest to desire and on the other side we are
talking about Ketu which is the strongest sense of taking things for
granted taking things for well taking things for granted and detachment from
the opposite end of that axis so we are talking about axis aren't we when we are
talking about Rahu and Ketu so that's that's what we are essentially talking
about and this plays out really prominently on every creature every human
being there has ever been born even avatars of Vishnu had to go through the
nakshatras okay and even had to go through their own Rahus in Ketu's every
guru every billionaire every beggar every child every man woman and child born on
this earth has to go through this nakshatras has to go through this Rahu
and Ketu it's just a way let's just put it simply as this is the system we are
working with now we are trying to understand the system now we are trying
to unpack whatever is there for us to grow and learn from to be the best we
can we are all trying to be the best we can that's a good thing about human
beings we always try to help one another the good side of human beings so in
this channel I bring all these parts so that you can unravel your own chart
study what is there first okay so now we are in Rahu which is placed in hasta
nakshatra and Ketu which goes swings in the four padas of hasta nakshatra between
reviti and uttrabhadra padana kshatra so let's see what that
viz it brings but off the bat just off the cuff the bat what is
hasta nakshatra okay let's see so what is hasta nakshatra just to recap you can
see the 27 nakshatra playlist if you're so keen
hasta nakshatra themes are getting rid of negativity in the personality now you
stick in Rahu in here and he tries to do that in a very unconventional way okay
everything about Rahu is unconventional out of the box they use all their
shrewdness the human factor of cunning and being shrewd comes in Rahu and Ketu
knowledge attaining success through work through hands hasta means hands okay
hands kills the very fortunate their creativity is very high they work hard
and they are dexterous think of the sixth house because this falls in Virgo
depositors mercury their most exalted form of mercury think mercury here
everything to do with intelligence hard work dexterous perceptive art through
hands they are very artsy people good with hands they can become sculptor
a cartoonist a painter they can be of service they can be very intelligent
good with finances they are very clever they want action they are very action
oriented people quick it's Devgana and ruled by the Sun so they're very quick
with things they're very clever Sun gives that ability the deity is Savitur
wants action great humor great speakers these are these guys in Rahu if you
stick in has that can make good comedians all the stand-up comedians that
you see they could come with has that in Rahu because they want to humor people
they're very pretty humorous people the great speakers communicators authors
and writers again everything to do with hands think about hands and think about
even communication the life lesson is to become inspired and alert in order to
bring gifts to fruition these are the themes of nakshatra now you place in
the unconventional guy called Rahu in here and mr. Rahu wants everything which
is not of mainstream which is non-conventional with this out of the
box doing it in a different way developing a unique style Rahu wants to
experience everything in a unique style that's what's already out there but I
want to do something of my own this is Rahu if ABC are doing it this way
comedians for example because has ties what a theme of being a comedian I want
to do it a different style of comedy you see so many styles of comedy coming up
these days and that's has done a Kshatra they make very good comedians some of the
famous comedians have very strong has done a Kshatra in them so let's see what
it does from the four padas okay first we will cover the introduction and of
what is Rahu and Ketu and later on to the padas so let's see what it is getting to
the study so number one the classical characteristics of Rahu and Ketu as
described by the classical Vedic literature okay what is Rahu and Ketu
these are 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 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 right this is typically
how it is portrayed in western astrology so I'm using the same symbol here
Rahu is mythologically depicted as the seeded 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 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
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 science 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's 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 and why because of that insatiable hunger there's always
insatiable hunger to go after one thing after the another 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 demons 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 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 okay 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 or light on life by Robert's who was a excellent book I have
put it in a community tab if you want to go through it or purchase it and read it
I should seriously suggest that okay the north node of the moon Rahul what does it
become because of the characteristics which classically is told in the texts
what does Rahul lead to in the modern context Rahul is responsible for
originality individuality independence in sight ingenuity inspiration and
imagination on the positive side because Rahul and Ketu both love to explore
foreign stuff things out of the box things not taught by tradition
Rahul 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
Rahul 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 let us see individually in the
charts which will see that okay Ketu Ketu the guy with only the body no head
there is gives us the feeling of a 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 Rahul Ketu is
typically an axis like they shown over there right Rahul 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 1728 39 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 okay to stand opposite to each other so if it plays out in
second house it detaches itself from the eighth house if Rahul is in the 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 Rahul 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 Rahul and Ketu okay the solar or the dispositor means since Rahul
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 Rahul sits in the house of Mercury somewhere else so it
will borrow the attributes of Mercury sitting in that third house and bring
it to that particular house wherever Rahul is sitting in got it
nakshatra since Rahul 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 Rahul 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 attributes of whichever house
they are sitting if it sits in Rahul 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 Rahul in Leo that means it'll 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 keep need to keep in mind when evaluating Rahul 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's
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 I have stuck Rahul Ketu as possible
axis on the 1 7 that is areas in Libra that is the top and the bottom so either
it can go to house number one or seven Rahul Ketu can be reversed it's okay
doesn't matter or in 4 and 10 now one four seven and 10 in Vedic
Astrology are given very vital importance because they are the foundational
aspects that define who you are they define how you operate in life throughout
life so these become crucial why the one seven axis effects if Rahul and Ketu
fall on there has a direct effect on yourself and other concept one and 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 Rahul Ketu the fourth one on the other hand fourth house being the
house of the mother then 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 four ten axis has effects on the heart versus mind mind what's 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
heart and home is affected by this Rahul Ketu axis again Rahul Ketu might be
reversed Rahul 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 Rahul
and Ketu now what about the rest of the houses the rest of the houses are called
taekona or kona and Sanskrit right these are the things that come and go in your
life the 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 and to subtracted from us but this is not
us one four seven and ten 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 Rahul in Ketu and
compared to one seven four and ten axis of Rahul Ketu please remember this when
you're evaluating you just have more propensity towards one part of life and
less towards others Rahul is attachment Ketu is detachment Rahul is expansion
Ketu is reduction and this time opposite to each other all this right now let's
take the cases one right so in the first as you can see in the screen over here
Rahul we are stuck in Hastana Kshatra in the fourth of Hasta we are doing in the
reverse direction because Rahul and Ketu move opposite to other planets now it is
in Virgo so basically Rahul is in Virgo as you can see here and Ketu over there
is in Revati Nakshtra right so the fourth of Rahul if you stick in in
Hastana Kshatra ruled by Virgo as the zodiac sign dispositor Mercury follow my
thinking here and then Ketu you have put in second Pada as you can see over there
second Pada in Revati now in second Pada in Navamsa goes into Capricorn which is
very grounded so you are talking about cancer and Capricorn axis in Navamsa
we not so we are talking about the the push and pull energy between emotional
satisfaction liberation of emotional desires your whatever your deep
emotional desire is in this lifetime versus the other axis which is all about
material success Virgo is material success it's an earth sign right and
both are dual signs keep that again in mind you have to keep the energy of the
zodiac itself both Pisces and Virgo are dual signs what do you mean by dual
signs they are caught up in duality everything they are always in two minds
should I do this or should I do that should I do this should I do that both
Pisces and Virgo so Rahul and Ketu find themselves here they will become very
dualistic they are always constantly switching between two minds Rahul and
Ketu you must understand tend to amplify and shrink things more than necessary
and here Ketu is following the dispositor with his Jupiter wherever that's
sitting in your chart in whichever house and whether that Jupiter nakshatra
suitable for this or not sometimes it can get contradictory you see that gets
very complicated that will become like a five-year series of videos right I'm
just giving the basics here on the other hand Rahul which is sitting in Virgo
also is dualistic but it is very very materialistic Rahul is a materialistic
energy so in Virgo it does very well it wants the good stuff Rahul wants a good
stuff he wants fame he wants success he wants he will use his power of
shrewdness cunning these people can become very cunning know how to achieve
stuff very smart they are intelligent that's what Rahul Ketu brings here and
in the Capricorn Cancer axis it brings in more of tussle between heart and mind
Capricorn Cancer axis is about heart and mind there's an ant walking on my cable
I'm just watching that okay let's see Padatri now so now we move on to Padatri
energy is pretty much the same as I spoke earlier we are talking about Jupiter
and Mercury here the teacher and the student because Pisces is ruled by
Jupiter and Mercury is ruled by Mercury but this is a little different to
Gemini and Sagittarius there it's a real teacher and student here it is the
axis Pisces and Virgo what can we speak about Pisces and Virgo well it's more
about emotional liberation at work versus emotional liberation in general
Pisces is like the ocean it dissolves in the ocean it loses its identity Virgo
wants to find that identity so you can interpret this in many many different
ways so now we are talking about Sagittarius and Gemini axis in Namamsa
let me point that out to you with my mouse there you go Dharma Pisces going
into Sagittarius for Ketu so Ketu dispositor will become Jupiter in Namamsa
and Rahu dispositor will become Mercury this is the student teacher axis now
these kind of people they have the wisdom because Ketu is dispositor is
Jupiter they have bring wisdom from the past lives and they have to now get it
into the world in a grounded fashion Virgo Gemini combination and Rahu does
very well in that so these people might even become teachers of some kind these
people might become comedians also of some kind okay that'll be I think more
in the Aquarius part so let's examine the third one the second Pada so in the
second Pada of Hastha if you place Rahu that's that axis over there you can see
the arrow I'm pointing to the arrow there going from Moksha in Scorpio in
Namamsa to Taurus so we're talking about the Taurus Scorpio axis so now you are
transiting from a dual sign to a fixed sign in Namamsa and so is here so these
people have got a funny personality change through life this axis that's
Ketu and this is Rahu so these people might be very wishy washy you know
not me they might seem like this person this better girl never seems to make up
her mind about anything she's always like I'm into minds I should I do they
shall I do that but suddenly after 36 years they might become very fixed and
like now I know whatever I want to do in life and they might go after it and
succeed in it this is the flip of personality type if it goes from dual
sign to fixed sign it's a very powerful flip they are finally made up their
decision Taurus Rahu and Taurus does very well because Taurus is materialistic
they might go after let's say buying real estate or becoming successful in
terms of whatever profession they are doing like engineers doctors etc I want
to go and do that has that can also become a good doctor depending upon
where Mars is placed right because it's skill of the hands surgeons surgeons
need skill of the hands successful surgeon so later on in life they might
become driven this Rahu and also intense people emotionally speaking so
that's what happens in second but now let's see the first one in the first
but we see now it is going to be a bad repada what should change just want to
in Pisces it has switched to nakshatra so now we are talking about the Kama and
Dharma axis which is this this yellow arrow over here the Kama the desire
going into Dharma so in Navamsa it becomes dispositor becomes Venus so
change of Jupiter to Venus as dispositor that's a huge change both are good in
that sense so wisdom earlier on in life Ketu being dispositor they'll have a
lot of they'll be very wise people during first 36 years then they will
switch over and they will want to do something with arts and music Libra
Venus the dispositor so they bring both these energies and now going into Rahu
it goes into Aries so they might become initiators of something Aries is always
initiators of something right and what are the themes of Uttrapada
Uttrapada if you remember they want emotional satisfaction they are
searching for meaning emotional meaning in their life this is Uttrapada
what makes sense to me emotionally not head they're not very heady people they
are very heartsy people and so this axis this position of Ketu you see over there
in Uttrapada will bring about this even in the next one which they say Uttrafal
guny also it will come across so in a very and being Uttrapada it's a very
manusharana so they want to feel this emotion physically in real terms as a
human being we are not talking about spirituality here we are talking about
daily people okay so that's what this particular axis will bring hastha it's
very grounded in Shatra because it's in Vargo Rahu here does generally very well
because Rahu is about producing physical results and it will use all its mind and
power and hastha's energy to accomplish it okay I'll leave you with this much
next one we shall see Uttrafal guny now Uttrafal guny will also probably
transit through Uttrapadrapada as well as Purva Badrapada that should be
interesting let's see that next one
