Good morning beautiful people welcome to my channel. Rahu and Ketu study part 22.
We are to reach 27th. We are almost getting there. Okay this one I can't
speak about this one without talking about the avatar of Vishnu called Lord
Rama because this is the nakshatra he was born in. Vishnu has the devik
Shakti coming into the human form. Everything that comes into the human
form in this plane must have play out all these nakshatras including Rahu and
Ketu by the way that's why they become very human in nature which is very
misunderstood. People try to glorify the deity without understanding the core of
the principle which Vishnu himself is trying to bring and please please if
you want to understand Vishnu you have to learn and recite and understand the
Vishnu sasranama which I have stuck in every almost every one of the major
nakshatras are all under his ambit. So you have to understand the various
forms the various ways in which Vishnu the preserver of the universe as per
Vedic text comes into form comes as a human being as ordinary as you and me
and carries out certain tasks certain duties which is necessary for the
evolution of mankind to understand. Okay without further ado we are talking
about Rahu in punarvasu nakshatra. The nakshatra of Lord Rama so which is ruled
by Aditi the mother of gods and what is the theme of punarvasu first you
got to understand the theme of punarvasu then we'll come to Rahu. The theme of
punarvasu is winning the second time puna means coming again. Vasu is light
so return of the light. All of us face this human challenges where we lose the
first time win the second time that is the theme of punarvasu. If your majority
of planets are points are bunched in this or if moon or ascendant is this
this will be a dominant theme of your life winning the second time losing the
first time winning the second time and repeating repeating this theme they
always lose the first time in the second time then lose the first time in the
second time you see reinventing oneself their wealthy they are nurturing
people it's a devgana burdened by duty oh god Rama was burdened by duty you name
it he had only duty duty duty and duty in life duty towards his mother duty
towards his aunts duty towards everything he did in his life was about
duty that's why he's called Marriada Purushadam meaning the one who is the
essence of duty what is it duty and responsibility right okay duty the
burden of duty they carry on the shoulders needs target to succeed
Ramani did that as well and Ramana became that target to succeed lots of
curiosity loves home religious nurturing righteous justice love of
children mental creativity and intelligence idealistic Rama was very
idealistic the picture of idealistic nature and they came from a race called
the Surya Vanshi meaning Rahu Vanshi which is the descendants from the Sun
that's where Rama in Vishnu of Tara in the Naksha Tiras is portrayed as the
Sun Krishna as the moon Rama Krishna Sun and the moon okay so idealistic
ambitious their social birds they have a business mind coming to the modern
2023 profit-oriented they can be argumentative and materialistic I know
I have a sibling like this the bring to life life lesson is to bring to life the
dry mind by moistness of one's own emotion now characterize this life
lesson and link it to Lord Rama you have to really go deep into Vishnu Sastra
so I won't go into that here let's put in the Rahu guy the unconventional guy
what does he come and do in a Devgana as a general rule remember whenever Rahu
enters a Devgana any Devgana any one of the 27 it loses the color and it
becomes slightly more visible think of Rahu as the black dot okay a black dot
on a white piece of paper is Rahu entering a Devgana so it has capacity
to be slightly more self-aware than Rahu placed in the other Naksha Tiras
Manushya and Rakshasa Gana as opposed to let's say Manushya Gana if you place a
black dot on a dark brown paper it is less visible Rakshasa Gana if you place
a black dot on a black piece of paper it's invisible this is where Rakshasa
Gana is an incapable of a lot of self-reflection that's why they don't
ascend to wisdom this is what is meant by devas okay devas we all are a
picture of all devas and all Rakshas as all Manushyas the soul is one and the
same it assumes a picture of identity goes from body to body through
lifetimes to lifetimes trying to learn the lesson of what happens if I do this
cause an effect karma getting back to this I'm diverging a lot today so when
we stick Rahu into this it loses a little color because it's a Devgana so
they might be having battles of wanting to achieve material success because Rahu
is a Bhava Karaka he wants material success they might be business-minded
how does very well in business because it requires shrewd and cunning thinking
Rahu is shrewd cunning and manipulative part of us all of us must have included
so that's what it becomes here so it's the energy of what you want to bring now
Punarvasu travels in the first three padas through Gemini and the final one
to cancer so this way it plays out is a Rahu is in the Punarvasu on the other
side Ketu is sitting in Uttarashada and Purvaashada so now we are transiting
basically from the dispositors of Saturn to Jupiter so it becomes very
interesting and very different because Saturn is tendency to shrink
everything it's a malefic Jupiter is a natural benefit it tends to expand
everything so you're talking necessarily of opposing forces one wants to
contract one wants to expand Jupiter wants to expand Saturn wants to contract
so this is a transitioning point from Capricorn to Sagittarius on the Ketu side
on the Rahu side we will see in the padas let's get to it 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'll 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'm using the same symbol here Rahu is mythologically
depicted as the city or 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 or 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's a virtual node or 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'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
Rahul Ketu general characteristics as modern interpretation this I have borrowed
from the book or light on life by Robert's 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 one doesn't
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 the how this plays out and why we love to 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 one seven two eight three nine four ten 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 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 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 Astrologist
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 the attributes of whichever house
they are sitting if it sits in Rahul suits 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 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 is
drilling about so then you need to understand these aspects and that's the
typical chart Indian chart and house numbers are depicted as one two three
four up till 12 Dharma Artha Kama Moksha is there and I have stuck Rahul Ketu as
possible axis on the one seven that is there is 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 it doesn't matter or in four and ten now one four seven and
ten in Vedic Astrology are given very vital importance because they are the
foundational aspects they 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 itself and other how you relate to yourself and how you relate to 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 and being father fourth being home
and being carrier you see this is 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'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 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 the second house third house fifth house
sixth eighth ninth 11th 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 Rahul Ketu when
compared to 174 and 10 axis of Rahul Ketu please remember this when you
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 they stand opposite to each other all this right now let's take
the cases one by one so there we have it we start from the fourth Pada of
Pannarvasu which is in cancer so the opposite side automatically will be
Capricorn which is Nutra Shadha I'm going to point something here look at this
axis now we are in cancer and Capricorn axis still the last parts of it okay this
particular axis which I'm pointing to here is what is shown here which is
about Capricorn to Capricorn and cancer to cancer from natal to Navamsa so this
becomes a very interesting cancer to Capricorn these people if Rahul is
placed here they are highly cancer in nature so disposed to moon you got to
see it is very strongly playing out in their life where everyone is sitting and
whichever Nakshatra Ammoni sitting in Rahul wants to imitate that okay and on
the other side Ketu is in Capricorn now Ketu doesn't be very well in Capricorn it
has a sense of Dharma but not much because Saturn wants to ground things
Saturn wants to have materialistic approach going towards the material
plane Jupiter is the one who wants to give wisdom so Rahul might do very well
with Jupiter but not so much with Capricorn because it's a detachment from
work detached form of working maybe Rama was born in this axis not Rahul Ketu I'm
talking about Jupiter or Saturn this is all about duty duty and it's in the
Artha Pada and it goes towards the Moksha Pada where cancer becomes cancer so
the the tussle in this Rahul Ketu axis is in Navamsa and in the chart you got to
see where the moon shifts and where the Saturn shifts where the Saturn shifts
that will be a point of detachment where the moon shifts that will be a point of
attachment okay let's see the the third Pada now we come to the second Pada of
Punarvasu now watch what happens here in the fourth Pada we went from
cancer cancer Virgo Tama of cancer and going to Capricorn Capricorn in the
third Pada becomes Virgo Tama Gemini and Virgo Tama Sagittarius look at the
transition we are still in the cancer Capricorn axis but now we have just moved
into Gemini to Sagittarius in the Virgo Tama imagine what this shift just this
shift as you're moving from moon as a dispositor to Mercury in both the natal
and Navamsa and Jupiter in natal and Navamsa on the other side Ketu when
Ketu sits in any of the Jupiter as dispositors meaning Pisces or Sagittarius
what it does it brings wisdom from the past lives what you have gained as a
wisdom from the past life that's what this Ketu wants to bring towards this
Rahu and use it as an intellectual form as knowledge that is in usable form any
intellectual knowledge is knowledge which can be used in our daily life
knowledge of material world knowledge of science biology physics so that's what
this particular axis does and so Mercury becomes exalted here
Mercury you got to watch especially if it's in Gemini or even in Virgo because
that's also ruled by Mercury and on the other side the wisdom needs to come
from either Sagittarius or Pisces but in this case it's Sagittarius so you got
to see if Jupiter placed in Pisces as well that's also exalted time and that's
the challenge of this Punarvasu to bring Rahu wants to go here and bring in
the tools necessary to overcome the challenges remember the Punarvasu theme
it's winning the second time failing the first time trying again and winning the
second time and this Uttarashada being a
manushagana it will get Ketu will bring the knowledge of earthly plane what you
need to do on this earth not get carried away by all philosophical wisdom
philosophical wisdom is good it's in its place but when you want to come to earth
plane and plane this ground you need the earthly rules that's what needs to come
to the Gemini that's the life lesson here okay now let's go transition towards
Sagittarius now we move away from Capricorn cancer to Sagittarius and
Gemini we are still in Punarvasu that's what makes Punarvasu very interesting
so like I said now we have changed from cancer Capricorn axis in the zodiac to
Gemini Sagittarius axis it's just on the borderline we have just entered
Sagittarius on Ketu side and we have just entered Rahu on Gemini side as you
can see over here this axis we are talking about that's Capricorn over there
this is Sagittarius over here this is cancer and this is Gemini so that's what
happens here and now here we are talking about the Moksha Artha axis of Rahu
Ketu the Ketu is in Moksha which does well and it goes into Scorpio which is a
little tight but Ketu does very well in Scorpio because it wants to dig deep and
find out the emotional meaning and remember the themes of Purva Asha that
it wants to go out there and conquer these people have the ability to conquer
victorious they want to achieve victory at all costs
Purva Asha can do it there is a little bit of Ketu detachment going from
Jupiter to Mars as discussed from Nettleton of Amsha but when you come to
Rahu it does very well because it's in Taurus so Ketu does very well in Scorpio
Rahu does very well in Taurus because Rahu wants to achieve material success so
these people will transition from intellectual and wisdom type energy in
the beginning part of their life later part of their life they will go into
using that knowledge and wisdom to achieve material success and gain victory
because Rahu wants victory at all costs let's see the last pada so in the first
pada or the last pada for Punar Vesu we are going in the reverse direction right
we have the Kama and Dharma axis Rahu when it sits in Dharma it becomes very
passionate and high drive of desire to achieve very ambitious very passionate so
you need grounding planets you need a good Saturn to make this work because
Saturn is the guy which actually wants to work in the physical world just having
lots of ideas and no grounding to go and do something doesn't help right you'll
be the same spot might be dreaming up fantastic ideas what's the use you're
no use to the world Sagittarius going to Libra is where Ketu sits in so we're
going essentially from Mercury to Mars as dispositor and you're going
essentially from Jupiter to Venus so Ketu brings in this wisdom because
Jupiter and Venus are naturally benefits it brings in this energy of wisdom of a
heart of creativity everything to this person and how to use that to accomplish
goals and success in life poor Vashada wants to achieve success it is driven
towards success and now it's in Sagittarius so it wants to go towards
bringing in the higher ideologies of life and I want the other side wants to
bring this as an initiator because it goes from Mercury to Aries Aries is an
initiator energy they want to start stuff not necessarily finish your
complete stuff so Rahu here becomes a driver these people can become good
coaches because Punna versus also wise it can become good coaches good business
coaches Rahu does well there because Rahu wants fame one aspect of Rahu is
wanting fame and recognition and how to get it it'll use all its energy to
accomplish fame and success in life okay now next we shall be talking about
our Dhanakshatra and going from poor Vashada to Moolad this is again very
interesting so take care be safe
