Good morning wonderful people welcome to my channel this is Rahu and Ketu study
part 25 hey we got two more to go and then
conclusive studies how does it get better than this here we are talking
about the beautiful Rohini nakshatra Rahu in Rohini nakshatra Rohini the most
beautiful one the favorite of Mohn's wife the nakshatra of Lord Krishna Krishna
what do we say about Krishna you can see read up everything just wanted to share
one quick personal note on Krishna once I saw in my marital divisions pair of eyes
okay I cannot describe the kindness that is in those eyes that is not of this
earth it's not of this plane it's divine it's out of this earth plane and
instantly it came to me as those are Krishna's eyes they are the most kindest
eyes one can ever find here so you're so caught up with devotion by looking at
those eyes no wonder here so many wives right women is to fall left-eyed in
center for Krishna here I know how many thousand wives because it is oozing
kindness the kindness that you don't find in the physical world Krishna so Rohini
nakshatra is the beautiful one first think of Rohini you think of charm you
think of grace you think of physical beauty it's a manu shagana so it is of
physical beauty nature is physical beauty it is creation it is Brahma the
Lord is creative energy so what does Rohini stand for it stands for commerce
and business magnetic sensual infatuation vanity obstinacy especially in the
second palat powers going towards torus we shall see that wealth good luck
possess charm especially in palat three with Gemini art creation creativity sweet
talk creation of food and business farming and agriculture so obviously
Rahul if we place in Rohini it does very well Rahul does very well in torus
in general in Rohini it becomes very very after the material wealth after the
physical charm charming person it's all about self charm it can turn to vanity
on the downside physical looks are good yes but vanity not so much so Rohini
nakshatra signifies the physical beauty of a person Rohini nakshatra said if
brings in the taurian energy of Venus right ruler is Venus into the creation of
physical beauty creation of land farming agriculture gems all this earthly
things yeah so Rahul is very well here in obviously in Rohini nakshatra and the
Ketu on the other side mysteriously goes between Jaishta and Anuradha in Scorpio
this is the Torus Scorpio access we are talking about both fixed signs so although
Rahul does well and is very singularly focused on the upside in Rohini nakshatra
Ketu on the other side from Anuradha is all about devotion of love imagine
Krishna and Radha we call it Radhe Krishna in India for a reason because
Radha was about devotion Anuradha nakshatra is bang opposite Rohini in
Ketu Ketu is sitting there right now as we are discussing this oh my god I mean
I was struck by this poetry of Lady Kastralaji when I came across this oh
my goodness of course if it is Krishna's nakshatra on that side it is Radha
nakshatra on the opposite side how does it get better than this so let's see
otherwise what it is and if you've seen this Rahul Ketu brief description
introduction beginning you can skip it go to the last part and watch the pathas
let's get into it so number one the classical characteristics of Rahul in
Ketu as described by the classical Vedic literature okay what is Rahul 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 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
Rahul 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 Rahul is mythologically depicted as the
severe head of a demon symbolizing constant endless insatiable hunger and
appetite be essential or physical yet it is unable to hold on to or grasp it
Rahul 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 Rahul the title of Bho Gakaraka 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 Rahul 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'll be like a planet with visual 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 Rahul 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 that's Rahul
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 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 who 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 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'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
inability idealism intuition compassion spirituality self-sacrifice
subtleness on the positive side on the downside it 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 one seven two
eight three nine four ten etc etc it can be 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're 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
Ketu 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 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 so it's 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 Dharmartha Kama Moksha is there and I have stuck Rahul Ketu as
possible axis on the one seven that is a reason 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 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 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 fourth one on the other hand fourth house being the
house of the mother and being father fourth being home and being carrier you
see this as a you know all kinds of implications which define who you are
the four ten axis has effects on the heart versus mind mind what is the one
who goes out there in the world and being used in the career that you dissipate
your energy as the mind in 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
and Ketu now what about the rest of the houses now rest of the houses are called
taikona 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 11th 12th
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 detachments 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 on this right now let's take the cases one by one so
there you have it we are starting from Pada for of Rohini which is again marked
over here right it's going from Artha Scorpio going towards Capricorn and
Amamsa that's where Ketu is and it is pointing towards Rahul Ketu is pointing
towards Rahul which is going from Taurus to Cancer so essentially in
Amamsa we are talking about Cancer Capricorn axis this is all about heart
and mind right the thing between heart and mind and Venus as the dispositor of
Rahul wherever Venus is placed in your chart and wherever Scorpio and don't
forget the nakshatras Rohini is about material success
Jaishtha is about jealousy Jaishtha is not very fond of other people having
stuff it's always feeling inferior the energy of Indra which feels inferior I
don't have the stuff that that person has I wish I had a child as good looking
as that I wish I had that kind of a four-wheel drive I wish I had this I wish
I had was having the good looks of that lady this is Jaishtha at its best so now
Ketu being placed there has a life lesson which it needs to learn to stop
being jealous make your own destiny and you can make it because Rahul is
sitting right there with pointing at Taurus which wants to go out there and
get stuff that's the lesson here now let's see the third Pala right so in
third Pala we have Scorpio again dispositors always look at dispositors
wherever they are in your natal so we are talking about Ketu in Scorpio which
does very well because it is looking for deep emotional meanings what are you
trying to do what am I trying to accomplish that's what Ketu hunts here
okay in Scorpio and it does very well and Rahul is sitting in Taurus so you
gotta look at Venus so essentially when you talk of Taurus Scorpio axis you're
talking about the push and pull between Mars in Ketu right Scorpio and Rahul in
Venus Taurus in this case fixed sign so there is this push and pull of Rahul and
Ketu which want to dynamically move but they are now situated and boxed in a
fixed sign on one side Rahul on the other side Ketu both are fixed signs so
it's a puzzle of fixed signs having a very fixated mentality I want this and I
want this only I don't care about the rest of the world that's the fixed sign
okay fixed signs have a problem or a life lesson to be a little more
accommodating be a little more flexible all right it's not all about you there is
the rest of the world so Scorpio Mars and Venus tussle in fixed signs so here it
goes in Navamsa between Gemini and Sagittarius which means what we are
talking about the axis of Gurushisha teacher and student so you need to see
in the Navamsa the dispositor where Mercury is placed and where Sagittarius
Jupiter is placed once again don't forget the nakshatra
Rahul and Ketu are enemies of Sun and Moon so you have to see the dispositor and
you have to see the nakshatra this is the key I'm giving you a key here still it
is in Jaishtha if you're still sticking around in Jaishtha that means we still
have themes of jealousy in this case the jealousy becomes off being a teacher a
better teacher who is a better teacher I am a better teacher that person is a
better teacher teacher jealousy and then it comes to Gemini it wants to bring
it an intellect but the feelings of inferiority complex have to go
Jaishtha has the wisdom of Indra but it is always feeling inferior its life
lesson is to get over that inferiority there's nothing wrong with who you are
stop feeling inferior stop comparing yourself to others and feeling jealous
about them rather step up and do something okay
and third which we are we are in second when we go to second Pada we will be
moving into a different energy on the Ketu side interesting so now we come to
the second Pada of Rohini which is in Taurus which is a Vargutama because
natal Taurus and Namamsa Taurus on the other side Ketu is sticking in natal
Scorpio and Namamsa Scorpio and you put Rahu and Ketu in this axis this is
seriously as something very determined person okay through life because Taurus
is very strong stubborn obstinate want to achieve material success I want to
show this kind of a thing and Rahu is the thing they want him to amplify all
of that out of proportion these people can become seriously successful business
people okay especially if Venus is deposited in good houses right wherever
Venus is exalted where is Venus exalted friend of Mercury and Saturn that
means either it's placed in Aquarius Capricorn Gemini Vargo so Venus is
sitting in any one of this it is doing yes I'm in my own house I can do whatever
I want that's what it does there they can become successful businessmen because
Rahu is a Bhoga Karaka on the other side they need to bring him that intensity
of emotion and connected with Rahu Rahu is just a head it needs the Ketu energy
always always always remember this because we are trying to bridge the
duality of Rahu and Ketu head without the body is nothing body without the head
is nothing we're trying to bridge it so use the talents use your emotional
intensity use the place where Mars is placed in your natal and Navamsa and
bring it towards that Taurus axis that will determine the success that will be
a balance not just having material stuff but having an emotional connect to
whatever you're trying to achieve then you become a good leader a good leader
who's just after materialistic stuff nobody wants humans are emotional beings
are you connecting to the masses are you connecting to your team leaders as team
leaders to your people this is what matters right let's look at the first
path so in the first path is the areas Libra axis it's in Kama to Dharma right
this is the arrow which we are talking about okay so what's the difference here
here we are still in Anuradha Lakshatra which is about devotion probably the last
one which we discussed Taurus Taurus and Scorpio Scorpio is where I think Krishna
and Radha fell in love I remember that I was as Radha was as Scorpio as possible
probably I'm just guessing and Krishna was as Taurus as possible that's why the
love happened between the two and I'm not talking about Rahu and Ketu here I'm
talking about some other planets maybe maybe so anyway we'll come back to this
Taurus and Aries Scorpio and Libra what are we trying to achieve here here we are
going from Venus to Mars and Mars to Venus so it's a kind of a flip of a
personality through life for beginning part of the life they will be all about
Rahu is more focused on the Venus wherever it is placed whichever house it
is placed and kind of detached from taking action it changes just flip to
the opposite side and becomes all about action and less about the emotion later
on in life because it is detached from Libra but it needs to bring in that
energy and connect it to Aries in order to initiate something Aries is an
initiator Libra is a balancer so you need to get the balance aspect from your
past life and bring it towards that Rahu energy in order to succeed that's
that for now next we shall discuss Krittika nakshatra the origin of creation
the big bang the ugly the fire okay take care and be safe
