Good morning wonderful people welcome to my channel where we are now doing
Rahu in Ketu part 24 and now we are sticking this head of the demon called
Rahu into Mrikshishya nakshatra now Mrikshishya you got to understand false in
two signs half in Gemini and half in Taurus so we are talking on the opposite
side Ketu will fall between Sagittarius and Scorpio so the right there Ketu is
transiting from a water sign from a fire sign to a water sign remember the
Gandhanta point right Ketu is undergoing transformation something from the past
life is being solved the karma is being solved by Ketu in these axes so when
Rahu falls in Brikshishya you should be knowing that this person is undergoing a
solving of the karmic path from past life okay so what is Mrikshishya nakshatra
mean okay it's the fifth nakshatra let's just go through the themes and one of
the themes just a personal note one of the things that Rahu represents is a
hunter even Ketu is a hunter but different kinds of hunting one is a hunter
for identity Ketu seekers path and one is a hide hunter for materialistic
pursuits desires obsessions compulsions that kind of thing you know so both do
hunt but in different ways for different things and nowhere is this more
apparent than Rahu in Mrikshishya nakshatra and going from Mula to
Jaishtha Sagittarius Scorpio so what does Mrikshishya represent it is flexible
joyous gentle charming these are gentle nakshatra Mrikshishya is a devgana and
extremely gentle in nature this is where I find a little difficult when people
say these Mrikshishya people are timid people why is sensitivity
vividness in this world now have you lost so much that becomes so dense that we
just think that a person who is just thumping and going and saying machoism
is a sense is a is the alpha guy or a woman what's with this why have you
lost the sensitivity go ask that question right so Mrikshishya means the
head of a deer so it's already hunting and Rahu is also hunting and so is Ketu
hunting everybody is a hunter so it's hunting for different things what is it
hunting for it can be fixated it can be extremely self-indulgent forest and
nature can be calming Mrikshishya means the head of a deer like the deer is
constantly but softly searching they can be searching for what continues calling
in relationships in relationships in spirituality in profession in partners
in knowledge in going overboard they have suspicious nature again cowardly
defensive and hiding because they are sensitive they tend to be softer and
introvert people in nature now you put a Rahu inside and it amplifies this
particular hunt hunt search for calling yeah and it does so in two ways it does
so through torus means it search for materialistic stuff or if it falls in
Gemini half it will search for meanings of stuff Gemini is more of a mental
thing right so let us examine the four paths 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 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 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 seed head of a demon symbolizing constant and
endless insatiable hunger and appetite be essential 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 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
is 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 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 Roberts was an excellent book I have put it in a
community tab if you want to go through it or purchase it and read it I
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 the delusion this is the downside now how this plays out and why we'll have
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 we 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 1 7 2 8 3 9 4 10
etc etc maybe you'll 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 8th house if Rahul is in second house it 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 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 volume 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 this
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 the
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 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 Rahul Ketu as possible access
on the one seven that is it is in Libra that is the top and the bottom so either
it can put a 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 Ketu
fall on there has a direct effect on yourself and other concept one and seven
itself 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 full pen 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
four ten axis has effects on the heart versus mind mind what is the one who was
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 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
Thri Kona or Kona in Sanskrit right these are the things that come and go in your
life you 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 that 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'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 for Rahul so here we are starting in the fourth Pada of Murgshira
nakshatra and we can see the Rahul Ketu axis there in yellow and here this is
Rahul that is Ketu okay so now we are talking essentially about Gemini and
Sagittarius so the dispositor being Mercury and Jupiter so we are talking
about the teacher-student dynamic we are talking about one who knows the wisdom
and one who wants to bring it in intellectual form now the Rahul in
natal is sitting in Gemini in Murgshirasha so it is hunting it is hunting
for meaning it is mental in nature in these last two Padas of Murgshirasha it
is hunting for mental meaning but later it might transit and towards the spouse
it may be something going into deeper meaning for emotional content Scorpio
is emotional content going deep inside and examining the subconscious psychic
nature etc so Rahul becomes like that later on on the other side it goes into
the Artha Sagittarius Jupiter going into Taurus right and in Mula and Mula it
wants to hunt for Ketu wants to search for the deepest possible meanings the
deepest possible meanings it wants to go to the root and cover all the lies so
this Mula to Murgshirasha nakshatra is a hunter is a hunter for essentially the
wisdom of what it is I am looking for in terms of materialistic gain if I'm
looking for a million dollars or a million dirhams or in median whatever in
by a ranch what is the essence of that what am I really looking for it searches
for the meaning and Rahul on the other hand knows what it is looking for at
intellectual levels that wisdom needs to come from the Ketu both in natal and
one shabat more natal and then it wants to integrate that in intellectual
pursuits these people might be highly intellectually nature trying to uncover
stuff right we will examine the professions later on in another series
I'll expand on the career part of it later and there we will see more but
that's the basic energy okay that's what happens in the fourth Pada and Ketu as
you can see on the other side is going through the dandanda the transit point
between the fire sign Sagittarius and Scorpio okay that's a transformational
point of past life in the third Pada now we are talking about the Dharma Kamma
axis going from Gemini to Libra in Navamshara where Rahul is sitting and on
the other side it's going from Sagittarius to Aries so we are talking
about essentially transit from air to fire sign and fire to air sign the Ketu
transit from fire to air sign and Rahul transit from air to fire air to air
sign sorry fire to fire sign and air to air sign what am I thinking okay so this
means there's a lot of air energy for Rahul to move in explore explore explore
explore intellectual very intellectual very research like scientists like want
to investigate stuff maybe relating to real life stuff maybe relating to
spiritual stuff maybe relating to anything maybe relating to even
relationships my relationships I think would be more in the first two
Padas of Maksirisha because we are talking on the other side of Mula
Mula wants to get to the root Ketu does very well in Mula right so it wants to
search for the root of my passion why am I searching for what I am searching
that's the keyword that's the key line over here in this axis in this particular
axis okay so that's what it does over here what happens in the second Pada
because now we are going into Tauras and Tauras is a materialistic person is a
lustful person okay so let's see what happens there so in the second Pada over
here Rahul suits in Tauras now it has translated to Tauras in Natal Namahamshah
okay so Rahul is extremely well in this first two Padas because it is a
materialistic sign and Rahul is a Bhava Karaka he is a materialist he wants
stuff he wants relationships he wants sex he wants good stuff cars he wants land
he wants money so Tauras he does well okay it expands that area but in order
to help this Rahul achieve what he wants to do we need to see little hints
like it goes from Tauras to Leo in Natal Namahamshah and Tauras to Vargo we are
talking about this axis now Tauras to Vargo and Moksha is where it gets it
from Scorpio water sign going into another exalted water sign so Scorpio
is transforming into a higher form of water sign in Moksha Pada so this Ketu
is quite intense but it's in Jaishtha it has come to the Scorpio now so this
Jaishtha is what is the theme of Jaishtha is the insecure king it's like the one
who's always feeling inferior the curse of the elder one elder one always feels
inferior why am I not getting the love of parents why am I why is my younger
sibling doing better than me why is that person having more money than me or
better relationship than me jealousy themes of jealousy are very prominent in
Jaishtha but here they are kind of having this at a subconscious level but
they are not able to provide that fuel to this Torah so they're constantly I
would guess this particular axis will have the puzzle of searching for deeper
meaning is what Rahul is sitting in like a Shisha the ruler's Venus it is
searching for that materialistic in wherever Venus is sitting in and on
this side of things it is looking for it is being haunted by fears of what will
happen if I don't accomplish it so it needs to get over its insecurities this
Keto needs to get over its insecurities in order to fuel the
Trahu which wants to go out and do and get stuff okay that's what happens here
let's see the first one now it's in the same one Torah's itself but we're
changing slightly the energy it's going from Leo to Aquarius so let's see that
right so the first Padaw of Murgshisha is Torah's to Leo earth to fire sign and
the Keto side over here it is Scorpio to is sorry Scorpio Scorpio Aquarius is
water to air and earth to fire so it's kind of a weird combination but let's
just look at Venus and Scorpio Mars so it's a
tussle between Venus and Mars essentially speaking and we are still in
Scorpio in Jesta so there's still that insecurity but since it's in comma this
will you have more desire to sort of feel jealous there's a more jealousy theme
here Scorpio being intensely jealous in this particular one but later on in
life when it goes to Aquarius it might become more of a mental sign let me do
these things for others detachment from others and wanting to do for myself
fame for myself Leo Aquarius access I want things for myself Rahul Leo does
very well because it wants to ego it wants to feel something like I am
matter I am somebody okay I'm not a nobody this is what Rahul thinks in Leo
so you got to see dispositor son where it is sitting okay so that ladies and
gentlemen is a brief fun about Murgshisha next we shall discuss Rohini
the Rakshatra of Krishna let's discuss the Rohini Rahul and place him and see
where it does okay next then almost about to finish then we are in Krithika
and Varani and then we are done we'll go to the conclusion notes take care be safe
