Hi Cynthia

I could not sleep so i came to the computer, and by reading at some of the past

emails i came across an interesting question, and in the end i saw that it was

put by you on the 2 Dec.

<<Wherever Rahu falls, Ketu is in the house opposite.Then comes the question.

How could Rahu's aspect of that house be more important than Ketu who is

already there and so impacting everyone in that house? It would not make

sense>>

Aspects are more important regarding the study of the bukti lord. For the dasa

period we study the lordship of the houses and constellations of the planet

ruling the dasa. For the bukti we study the location of the bukti lord

primarily and the aspects of the bukti lord as a secondary vibration.

For example, suppose that you are in the Mercury bukti and that Mercury is in

your 5th house. Therefore, the main energies to be displayed during the bukti

period, will be those energies related to the 5th house like children, love,

diplomacy, previous lives etc. As a secondary vibration, you are likely

(likely = astrology is a science of tendencies, the Lord has the last word on

everything) to see the vibrations from the aspected house by Mercury, which in

this case is the 11th. Therefore, the vibrations of the 11th house are likely

to faintly (because they are secondary) come to you. So artha (economical

development), earnings, income, friends, elder siblings-friends, etc or

partners in previous lives (because if the 1st shows your present external

personality and the 7th to it shows the present personality of partners, the

5th by showing among other things your personality in previous lives, has the

11th house as its 7th. Therefore, this house (11) shows the personality of

partners in past lives.

I have been told that when a person holds one of our debts from previous lives

in his/her hands. That karmic debt may be financial, emotional, etc. That

person may come in this present life to us and demand a payment to that karma.

In that case, maya devi, works her illusion on us and we have to pay until that

person is satisfy.

That is why some times a person says "i do not like this person so much but at

the same time, i do not know why he/her has a hold on me". Even so call love

can be a payment to previous karma.

Sometimes, the jiva is too obsessed with a person but by being bewildered in

this body (hosroscope), karma and illusion work in a way that the wrong person

receives the attention and some times this person

misuses or abuses those attentions and he/her takes the other to the cleaners,

if you know what i mean.

Maya devi or mother Durga (mother nature) is the superintendent of nature, she

has the power to give to us (jivas or spiritual souls) our material bodies

according to our desires and deeds from previous lives. That is why we can

study the intentions of an individual from the 5th house. Intentions are the

foundation of this material existence and are connected to our previous lives.

<<How could Rahu's aspect of that house be more important than Ketu who is

already there>>

In the way that i see it, Rahu is the head and it is very important. According

to the Srimad Bhagavatam, Rahu is double in size to the moon, indicating how

important Rahu must be. The aspect of Rahu can be seen mainly during his

buktis and transits (gocharas) but in a secondary way as I said before.

Therefore, the 7th house aspect from Rahu is important but the presence of Ketu

and his influence is more important or primary by location.

Ketu has not aspect on the 7th, only on the located house. But Rahu has more

influence by being the head.

That is why Rahu in the 1st has a more impact on the personality but to a

secondary aspect to the opposite house, partners get his effects as well

although Ketu there has more influence on them.

Rahu is the Head and Kept is the tail.

Any questions?

Best regards

Thank you and I am stewing it over.

You asked if I had any questions and of course I do <grins>

I have seen Mars with Rahu work very well and Ketu with Mars be very

difficult...particularly in the charts of men.

Mars and Rahu are decisive and dynamic, in every rashi that I have seen. Ketu

with Mars is very fearful and often lacks direction or is rather neurotic.

Sorry, do not mean to insult anyone. I sincerely believe that anyone has the

power and opportunity to rise about any placement if he or she is willing to

learn what it is teaching.

In the analogy of Rahu throwing his aspect onto that Mars with Ketu, it would

seem to me that the person would not be as fearful as I have seen. Perhaps

there is more of a swing back and forth between the Ketu and RAhu energy and

the only time one would come to an astrologer would be when the Ketu, fear, was

at its highest. I think I will assume the latter. AFterall, it would be faulty

to assume that a person, who is in pain and so seeks an astrologer is at that

time at his best <big grins>
