Guest guest Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 Since the subject has been on the nodes, I decided to jump in with this question.... At the time of my birth, Saturn and Ketu were both in the 1st house. What I am wondering about is the closeness of the 2 planets in degrees. Saturn is at 4 degrees/26 minutes, while Ketu is at 2 degrees. As a result of being so close together, do they interfere with each other? Also, I am currently in a ketu mahadasha....Ke/Sa/Ke. Do these planets conflict with each other? I want to give my interpretation, just to see wether i'm heading in the right direction, or if i'm way off track here. I know Saturn and Ketu are both dark and malefic, and have a lot of potential to be cumbersome on the self if in the first house, especially in childhood(an indication of 1st house). May develop a negative outlook or perception towards life. Saturn-low class, worker, influencing individual dharma. Ketu, perhaps unusual physical traits, since 1st house deals with the physical body in general. I know both planets have some similar concerns with spirituality. Yet, they have some differences too...which is my main concern. Do these differences conflict due to their closeness? Do the nodes have the ability to cause or participate in a planetary war? or are the nodes an exception to wars like the sun and the moon? If anyone could shed some light....it would be greatly appreciated. Sometimes books alone aren't enough.

Yes when planets are less than 5 degrees apart they are bound to affect each other Also, I am currently in a ketu > mahadasha....Ke/Sa/Ke. Do these planets conflict with each other? Ketu's energies are not really compatible with Saturn . On the positive side both are deep thinking philosophical planets which you have in your Lagna > > I want to give my interpretation, just to see wether i'm heading in > the right direction, or if i'm way off track here.

Do the nodes have > the ability to cause or participate in a planetary war? The nodes do not participate in planetary war but generally they afflict the planets they are closely conjunct . Saturn seeks stability but Ketu is often transforming so in the 1st house the native may find a lack of stability in his life or not be happy with the directions that his life turns . or are the > nodes an exception to wars like the sun and the moon?

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 Thank you Nicholas, for helping confirm suspicions, as well as clarify a couple of concepts I was unsure of. The books and programs I have on Jyotish sometimes can only answer more acute or simpler questions. Dear S. Prabhakaran, Thank you also for your regards. As far as the influence of Venus is concerned... I'm gemini Lagna, with Venus in the 8th. Therefore, from what I've learned of Jyotish so far, Venus is not really helping out any problems created in the 1st house. However, there are a couple of things about Venus that may have to be considred before I jump into any conclusions. It is Vargottama, which improves its strength somewhat, and I am also going through Venus Mahadasha beginning February, 2005. Wether this will help or not with the 1st house, or simply make things worse(8th house is generally considred kind of rough), i'm still trying to understand before the mahadasha comes around. Just mentally preparing myself ahead of time. If you have the time, feel free to comment wether Venus does have any influence towards the 1st house. (in case you need more data....February 14, 1974 springfield, OH 4:16pm). Thank you very much for your reply to the original question.
