Good evening beautiful people welcome to my channel. We are in Rahu Ketu study part 26.
We got one more to go and then we'll do conclusion studies. You've got to wrap it up with some
conclusion studies. Yeah otherwise it won't make any sense. It's too complicated and it's too much
studies. So now we are in the third nakshatra of Krittika nakshatra. The Pleiades, the origin of
creation so to speak. Now I got to tell a little bit of mythology all the try to avoid mythology
because this is an unusual nakshatra. The Lord ruling is Agni fire just pure fire the fire of
creation where everything started you might even call it the big bang or whatever right.
So what does Krittika nakshatra have a mythological background? Well it's the birth of the son of
the union ship of Shiva and Shakti the first official son so to speak. Ganpati the first one
sitting right there watching me is the is one born created mainly by Shakti but this is born of
union ship of Shiva and Shakti and it was so fiery in nature the seed born out of the union
ship of Shiva and Shakti but it became troublesome to hold that seed anywhere in creation right and
it was an unusual form of parentage. He was parented by step mothers. He was of a fiery warrior
kind of nature because the whole purpose of giving birth to this child was to destroy a particular
demon this is the mythology and therefore this kind of a theme plays out in Krittika nakshatra.
Let's just quickly review what Krittika nakshatra was. It's fiery transformation critical thinking
criticism they are very critical in nature because they can perceive the energy right away
that's the reason why they become critical. They can become good learners they can have good training
skills because they know the passion of teaching and learning warrior ship so to speak sharp speech
mannerism they are perfectionists it's important for them to set goals they have something to do
with cooking and baking because it has to do with fire right wherever fire energy is there in
restaurants wherever you're cooking there's fire so they can become chef's bakers. They can have
a theme of having foster parents and especially with Rahu in this and if it's sitting in a fourth
house this can become more dominant right or if you have Krittika nakshatra sitting in the fifth
house it can have unusual births the symbolism of a knife it can even have a caesarean section kind
of birth. They have good leadership skills wavering fortunes they have a tendency of hiding emotions
they have unusual births like I said. Life lesson is to use their internal fuel to target and
internal fire to transform life so Krittika nakshatra on the first padha is the conclusion
of Aries and the last three padhas is in Taurus so most part of this is in Taurus which has a
little bit of grounding the first part is Aries going to Sagittarius which can become seriously fiery.
So it's important for Krittika nakshatra first of all why I told about the mythology is to understand
that these people seriously need some grounding they seriously either need a mental energy
which can give them a sense of logic and reasoning because let's face it pure fire pure passion pure
passion energy can just translate to a wild sense of anger all the time about everything like a rebel
without a cause which doesn't help in reality right you need some grounding so grounding for fire can
be either air which they will use reasoning they will use logic they can become critical thinkers
they can become thought provoking talkers powerful talkers also or they should have a grounding
in the form of some other energy to it so that they can become chefs restaurant owners because
some passion translated to food and practical energy okay now you stick your head Raho in between
here this becomes a kind of even more amplification Raho is an amplifier amplification of this kind
of a fire which makes it real difficult for a person to handle unless the person is doing some
kind of a yogic breathing some kind of heavy-duty yoga you see what I'm saying running breathing
let create yoga and that kind of a thing you need to control the Raho energy in this kind of a
nakshatra with breath the good news is there is Ketu on the other side so let's look at it
otherwise and see if we can get some grounding for this poor people right
so number one the classical characteristics of Raho and Ketu as described by the classical
Vedic literature okay what is Raho 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 Raho 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 Raho is mythologically depicted as the seeded 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 Raho 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 right just a head which is alive this gives Raho 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 signs literally whatever they
are after Raho 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 Raho 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 Raho
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 Raho Ketu general characteristics as modern interpretation this
i have borrowed from the book or light on life by Robert's who was an excellent book i have put it
in the 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 raho what does it become because of the characteristics
which classically is told in the texts what does rahul lead to in the modern context raho is responsible
for originality individuality independence insight 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 delusion this is the downside the how this plays out and
why we like 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 universality impressionability idealism
intuition compassion spirituality self sacrifice subtleness on the positive side on the downside
it can lead to eccentricity fanaticism explosiveness violence unconventionality immorality
econoclasm impulsiveness and emotional tensions this is on the downside this is what it plays out
and rahul Ketu is typically an axis like it is 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
40 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 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 so on 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 it will 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 now 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 there's a typical chart Indian chart and house
numbers are depicted as one two three four up till 12 dharma artha kama moksha is there i have stuck
rahul ketu as possible axis on the one seven that is iris and 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 medica 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 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 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 tenth being father fourth being home tenth being carrier
you see this as 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 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 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 now rest of the houses are called taikona or kona in Sanskrit right these are the things
that come and go in your life we let be 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 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 detachment we have towards different areas of our life that's all it
is they are less significant in terms of rahul in ketu when 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 they stand opposite to each other all this right now let's take the
cases for now on so as usual we'll begin with the fourth pada of kritika there it's marked over there
fourth pada of kritika which is going to rest to Pisces so good news is last three padas of kritika
are still in torus so it gives a grounding straight away venus right and torus corpio axis means venus
and mars we're talking about that axis the push and pull between venus kind of energies and mars
kind of energies creativity versus action and initiation that's what we are talking about but
mars and scorpio goes inward rather than outward mars in areas goes outward okay mars in scorpio
is more inward directed hunting for the deepest possible passion deepest possible drive deepest
possible emotion when anything goes internal it is directed towards the emotional body yeah
so here we have torus and Pisces so we are talking about the same axis Pisces Virgo so it's the push
and pull between material and emotional feeling but kritika nakshatra in Pisces when it translates
from natal to navamsa it goes to Pisces it becomes Jupiter so it becomes seeking of knowledge so in
later stages this particular axis will become more interested in seeking knowledge rather than
having artistic capabilities this can do good as a cook also as a chef baker i would think
and even this second padau over there in kritika torus to Capricorn's grounded satan is there
even third padau of torus to Aquarius but this can become more of a speaking kind of person but
let's be jumping ahead of us so let's go to the next one so what happens in this third padau
the desire the desire of this particular rahu is to manifest as Aquarius in the later
stages so we are talking about Leo Aquarius these people could become good leadership skills they
come in with leadership skills because it is coming from Scorpio Leo so they know the depth
of emotion they know leadership now they have to bring it to the masses so this is the kind of person
who may go into management leadership roles and management managers leaders of all kinds CEOs
they might be driven towards that they have a sharp tongue they can become very critical in nature
tough bosses right that kind of a person we are talking about and rahu here will amplify that
rahu does well both in torus and Aquarius being materialistic but they need to get the juice
of leadership from deep emotions and an inborn innate sense of being a leader Leo okay let's
see the second one now in the second part of torus if rahu sits there it's torus going to Capricon
and rahu is sitting there does well both in both the cases because it has got grounding like I said
and here it goes from Scorpio to Cancer so what happens here again it's a similar theme as the
previous one however now we have shifted the theme to Vishakha so Vishakha in Scorpio which also has
Agni by the way Vishakha has two deities Indra and Agni and Krithika also has Agni so this is
tremendous amount of fire tremendous amount of passion tremendous amount of sexual drives Scorpio
and Cancer oh my god and that they're detached from but they have it in them they will have it in
their life and now they want to bring it towards torus and Capricon these people can also make good
chefs because owners of restaurant that kind of a daily grind but they may be having sort of one
of those unusual births thing going on in their life and more so in the I would think in the Kamapada
because it's Aquarius Aquarius is everything unusual yeah so that could happen here and
Vishakha and Krithika are transformative elements fire is a transformative element so these people
might have transformation themes in their life they could be even channelers they could be fire
ceremony shamans I have spoken about fire ceremony shamans before if you want to look that up okay
so in the first part now we are beginning the Aries Libra axis so Krithika in Aries Vishakha
in Libra okay so now we see this arrow over here Rahul sitting there Aries to Sagittarius
and Libra to Gemini so these are essentially both are air and fire signs Libra
Aries fire sign fire sign so Rahul is in a tremendous amount of fire energy tremendous
amount of thinking of higher ideologies this is a very idealistic person needs to be careful again
needs grounding here whereas K2 on the other side is highly mentally nature so these people can become
good thinkers good planners but then you need a certain amount of grounding there they need a
certain amount of air element in there okay they're bringing in the air element as you can see over
here Libra and Gemini but that's what they need to use they need to use this K2 energy to bring
that into practical reality as new ideas as new thought Krithika is a transformation kind of
nakshatra everything about it is fiery everything about it is critical sharp cutting through the
rubbish cutting through the BS and getting to the truth of things okay that's what this nakshatra
stands for so always evaluate in terms of nakshatra and always evaluate in terms of the
dispositors also here this I have stuck this dispositor table in every single one of these
Rahul K2 studies for that particular reason because if the dispositor is good Rahul behaves good
otherwise it goes from the downside we will see this in conclusion studies next we shall deal with
the last one Bahra Nenakshatra okay be safe
