Good morning ladies and gentlemen welcome to my channel. We are on the last part of
Rahu and Ketu study part 27. After this we will do a couple of conclusive statements
because I am getting a lot of all through this series I was getting a lot of intuition,
lot of insight, more depth for you to study the chart of yourself, your friends, family
and then see more precisely why Rahu and Ketu behave as certain imposters in certain
case, certain amplifiers in certain case and so on many things are there. I will cover
it in parts and included part of this playlist keep watching. So we are in the Bharani Nakshatra
Rahu in Bharani. Now Bharani let's review the what Bharani is about it's the main key
to understanding Nakshatras is to study the deity, ruling deity and the symbol and then
study the energies. Just bring it out there for you guys. So deity is Yama is a lot of
Dharma or a lot of death but Yama is portrayed in Vedic text as the one who stands as on
the other side of life. So he is all about doing the right thing, doing the right thing
and the symbol is the womb. So the energy of Bharani passionately driven, sexual driven,
lot of creativity, lot of receptive energy think of the womb as the receptacle. Infernalizing,
cleansing, re-birthing, transformation through life, children focus, fights all the struggles
of life, fighting for social causes, social reformers, they can be straight and blunt
approach, they have mystery and secrets, they are prone to jealousy, judgmental, unpredictable,
unusual kind of behavior. The life lesson is to keep respectable boundaries and bearing
restraint. The womb holds the child and doesn't let it just fall off out, it holds it till
the child is fully developed and then gives birth. This is called bearing restraint. The
womb knows how to bear restraint to produce a new life. So bearing restraint and control
in order to protect holding the burden, responsibility to deliver like the womb. That's Bharani.
Now we stick in Rahu in here and he does all of these things in an unorthodox way. Now
Rahu being Rahu, he can be more focused on the sexual aspect of Bharani. For example,
depends upon where the dispositor is. Bharani in this case being Mars and Mars is very passionately
driven. The dispositor is Mars, right? Aries. We are talking about Aries Libra access now.
Or they can become very focused on children issues. There is a lot of it going on right
now circa 2023 about children's issues, children's education, children's health. You know all
kinds of issues are out there. So Bharani and Rahu in this will become a great force
in driving for social justice for children, driving for better education, better health
care for children. And so all kind of children issues come because Bharani is the womb. It
holds the child. It protects the child. It nurtures the child, fights all struggles, fight
for social causes. This may become a big like a driving force for Rahu, depending upon where
Mars is sitting. Let's say if Mars is sitting in the sixth house, it will become all about
their daily work even maybe. So that's what Bharani does. Now look at the Pada. This is
squarely in Aries. So we are talking about all four padhas of Bharani in Aries. Okay.
And on the other side, it will shift from Vishakhara to Swati. Okay. So let's examine
Pada wise and let's see where it goes. 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 ellipses, 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.
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, endless,
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. 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 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 is 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. 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 it's 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 Mokshakaraka or the seekers path the one energy in us which seeks
something. That's why Ketu is called the Mokshakaraka. Now this is the classical interpretation.
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 Light on Life by Robert Suvada excellent book. I have
put it in the 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 Rahu. What does it become because
of the characteristics which classically is told in the texts? What does Rahu lead to
in the modern context? Rahu is responsible for originality, individuality, independence,
insight, ingenuity, inspiration and imagination on the positive side. Because Rahu and Ketu
both love to explore foreign stuff. Things out of the box. Things not taught by tradition.
Rahu 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 Rahu on the downside leads to confusion, escapism, neurosis, psychosis,
deception, addiction, vagueness, illusion, delusion. This is the downside. Now how this
plays out and why we learn to see individually in the charts which you will see that. Okay.
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 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 Rahu Ketu is typically an axis like Rishon over there. Right. Rahu
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 Rahu 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? Rahu 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 Rahu and Ketu. The solar
or the dispositor means, since Rahu 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 and Rahu 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 Rahu is sitting in.
Nakshatra, since Rahu 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 Rahu 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,
like the Earth, Mars, Venus, Sun, Moon, Sun. So they take on the attributes of whichever
house they are sitting in. If Rahu sits in Cancer, 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, Rahu 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. Let's see some aspects of which house they play in and why.
Now there are some vital aspects that you need to keep in mind when evaluating Rahu 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 are 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 is a typical chart, Indian chart and house numbers are depicted
as 1, 2, 3, 4, up till 12. Dharma Artha, Kama Moksha is there and I have stuck Rahu Ketu
as possible axis on the 1, 7 that is Aries and Libra that is the top and the bottom. So
either it can go to house number 1 or 7. Rahu Ketu can be reversed, it's okay, it doesn't
matter. Or in 4 and 10. Now 1, 4, 7 and 10 in Vedic Astrology are given very vital importance
because they are the foundational aspects that define who you are, that define how you
operate in life throughout life. So these become crucial. Why? The 1, 7 axis effects
if Rahu and Ketu fall on there has a direct effect on yourself and other concept. 1 and
7 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 7th house is the 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. 1, 7 axis of Rahu Ketu. The 4th one
on the other hand, 4th house being the house of the mother, 10th being father, 4th being
home, 10th being carrier. You see this has all kinds of implications which define who
you are. The 4th axis has effects on the heart versus mind. Mind is the one who goes out
there in the world and being used in the carrier. 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 Rahu
Ketu axis. Again Rahu and Ketu might be reversed. Rahu might be in the 4th, Ketu might be in
the 10th or vice versa. Same way with 1 and 7 but these are the vital relating aspects
of Rahu and Ketu. Now what about the rest of the houses? Now rest of the houses are
called Tui Kona or Kona in Sanskrit. These are the things that come and go in your life.
Let it be 2nd house, 3rd house, 5th house, 6th, 8th, 9th, 11th, 12th, these are the things
that come and go in our life through life, through your entire life. These are things
that are added and subtracted from us. But this is not us. 1, 4, 7 and 10 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 Rahu and Ketu when compared to 1, 7, 4 and
10 axis of Rahu and Ketu. Please remember this. When you are evaluating, you just have more
propensity towards one part of life and less towards others. Rahu is attachment, Ketu is
detachment, Rahu is expansion, Ketu is reduction. And they stand opposite to each other always.
Now let's take the cases for Ravan. So we have the 4th pada. We are starting with the
4th pada. That's Rahu over there. This is Ketu over there. And this is the Rahu Ketu axis.
Then from Artha to Dhamma, Dharma, Moksha, Artha to Moksha always, Dharma to Kama. We
shall see that in the conclusive studies. What this might mean.
Okay, so Moksha, Aries to Scorpio. So it's Mars to Mars. Okay, from Natal to Namab Shah.
And on the other side, Ketu is sitting from Libra to Taurus. Again Venus to Venus. So it's
the same Mars to Venus, Push and Pull energy we are talking about in this case. The only
thing we have to take care is Aries going to Scorpio makes it more emotional. Libra
going to Taurus makes it more earthly in nature. So they might become more emotional
and more earthly later in life. That's what this axis is. And remember, once it goes to
Aries and Libra, as long as we are in the Natal, Rahu and Ketu do very well because these
are movable signs. Once it transits to Namab Shah, once it goes to Scorpio and Taurus, they
become tight. They become more rigid in nature. These are the kind of people who may become
more rigid about things later on in life. Okay, pass the way to look at this. There
are other ways which we shall examine later. Let's see Padatri. So there we have in Padatri,
Rahu and Ketu. So now we are still in Vishakha, Nakshatra and Bharani. Bharani to Vishakha.
Always remember to see the Nakshatras as well. Not just the dispositors. Dispositors
just the solar which we are talking about Mars and Venus. But the Nakshatra is going
from Bharani to Vishakha. So here the axis is of Aries, Libra and Libra Aries. So we
are talking about the flip of personality later. The kind of shift of energies between
Rahu shifts from Aries to Libra means Rahu in later on in life is shift towards Venus.
It goes from Mars towards Venus and Ketu goes from Venus to Mars. So what will this energy
kind of lead to Bharani wants to as I said achieve everything about righteousness, social
causes, women's issues. They might even become pediatricians by the way. OBG and pediatricians,
doctors, surgeons come from here. Very strong Bharani in their Nakshatra which they make
it into a profession which is doctors. Pediatricians maybe. And on the other side Ketu they need
to bring that energy of Aries to initiate and bring something into Libra. This will
be more focused I would think on the ideologies, the social causes, the social reformers because
this Aries, Libra and Libra Aries of Rahu Ketu can be strong in terms of ideology, in terms
of new thought relating to children, relating to women's issues. Okay. Next let's see the
second Padam. Now within the second Padam which is over there, Rahu is there in second
Padam of Bharani and now Ketu has moved to Swati Nakshatra, the individual, the individualistic.
So in this case Ketu brings it that high degree of individual thought, individual thinking.
Ketu in Swati becomes very wisely individualistic. Swati is a Devana, Bharani is your Akshaya
Sakana. So they want to bring the practical aspects of whatever they need to achieve in
this life because this is Pisces Virgo. They bring the wisdom, the dispositor here is Jupiter
into the reality. Now this is the Akshaya I would think which would define making doctors,
pediatricians, OBG, gynecologists, right because it's Bharani. Swati going into Bharani. They
might even become lectures and professors in medical universities regarding the same
subject. Yeah. So this is a beautiful Akshaya as well. Let's see the first Padam. So in
the fourth Padam also it is Bharani versus Swati. But now we are talking Libra to Aquarius
and Aries to Leo. So Aries, Libra access all right, Mars Venus all right in the natal.
But now we are talking Navamsa, Leo Aquarius. This is the wisdom that Ketu brings of having
knowledge of the masses, social reformas. They need knowledge of the masses. What is
the pulse of the masses? What are people thinking about? What are women thinking about? They
are talking about Bharani. It's about women. It's about children. So what are the masses
thinking of Aquarius is all about the 11,000 the masses and Ketu brings in that wisdom
from the past life and brings it as a leadership position going into Leo. That's what they
need to bring. Okay. In order to be successful social reformas, not just activists, but
we are talking about doing something for a greater good. These people can become leaders
in this kind of arena. Right? That's what this particular energy brings. That ladies
and gentlemen concludes 27 parts. Now next video onwards, I shall start examining the
conclusion notes for Rahu and Ketu study and what all to observe the finer aspects like
we are zooming in the final general aspects. Probably I don't know, am I taking some out
of K studies to place it in a chart and then see what happens. You know, just to get a
more grounded idea. Let's say how that goes. I'll just leave it, whatever comes to me.
I'll share it with you surely. Meanwhile, take care. Be safe.
