Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Dear Venkata Rao, Namaskar. This refers to a confusion of opinion regarding ownership/exaltation of Rahu and Ketu starting from Maharshi Parasara down to today's jyotishis. You will find many other combinations of Rahu and Ketu in the literature. In our parampara, following the dictum Shani vat Rahu and Kuja vat Ketu (Rahu behaves like Shani, Ketu behaves like Mars), we take Kumbha as Rahu's ownership and Vrischika as Ketu's ownership. Mithuna is Rahu's exaltation and Dhanus is Ketu's exaltation. Kanya is Rahu's moolatrikona and Meena is Ketu's Moolatrikona. We have found this working quite well.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Dear Souravji, Namaskar. Thank you for your reply. In fact in Dr BV Raman in his one book it was mentioned Ownership of Leo for Rahu and in another it was Virgo for Rahu. I wish to know how to calculate the strength of Rahu and Ketu. Shadbalas and Bhava balas are calculated only for seven planets. Rahu represents either Saturn, or owner of occupying Rasi or aspect of other planets. If we calculate the aspect strength in terms of degrees or Sashtiamsas, we can know whether Rahu or Ketu receives positive or negative aspect of other planets. Suppose we take Khumbha as own Rasi for Rahu and it is placed there. Can we say Rahu in Lagna is good for Khumbha lagna native. Since Rahu's motion is in opposite direction, does rahu at the beggining of a Rasi is Old and at the end of Rasi is balak or young.How do we interpret 18 years of Vimsottara Rahu Dasa. Suppose Rahu receives more of Jupiter aspect and Jupiter is strong can we say that Rahu dasa will be good, subjected to giving interpretation to Antardasas in relation with Jupiter. Further some interpretations suggest that Rahu or Ketu strongly aspects a planet or house and give a malefic or benefic phala. Since these are shadow planets , can we say that they aspect other planets or houses. with regards venkata Rao , "Sourav" <souravc108 wrote: > > > || Hare Rama Krishna || > > Dear Venkata Rao, > > Namaskar.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Dear Venkata ji, As what i know is Rahu is the shadow of earth when sunlight comes to it. The same way when some light coms to you and your shadow is seen behind....so when Leo is Sun's sign therefore the opposite sign i.e. Aquarious is given to Rahu... hope you understand my point of view Thanks Tarun Venkata Rao wrote: Dear Souravji, Namaskar.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Dear Tarun, This is an interesting perspective. But Rahu is only shadow of earth during lunar eclipse; during solar eclipse it is shadow of Moon. Like Rahu, Ketu can also have both roles, it depends where Rahu and Ketu are at the time of the eclipse.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Hello Graham, What i have read that moon Vs Ketu and Sun Vs Rahu, so debilation sign of moon.in vedic astrology i.e. scorpio is said to be house of ketu and so with rahu. If you have any nice thought , i will request you to share them. Actually i am very much new in astrology and wish to discover it and understand its logics.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Dear Tarun, I'm not sure what you mean by "Vs". I've usually been told that Rahu has characteristics similar to a mixture of Saturn and Moon (and tends to damage the mind, and is very materialist), while Ketu is more like Mars and Sun (and tends to damage the body, but can be good for spirituality). In practice, I find one of the several traditions seems to work best: that Rahu is exalted (or at least strong) in Gemini (and to a lesser extent in Virgo), and Ketu is exalted (or at least strong) in Sagittarius (and to a lesser extent in Pisces). Gemini and Sagittarius do not already have exaltation grahas, so there is "space"!. I wouldn't like to speculate about sign ownership or mulatrikona for Rahu and Ketu. These are just my views at this stage in my studies! Best wishes Graham , ~Tarun~ <tarun.virgo wrote: > > Hello Graham, > What i have read that moon Vs Ketu and Sun Vs Rahu, > so debilation sign of moon.in vedic astrology i.e. scorpio is said to be > house of ketu and so with rahu. > > If you have any nice thought , i will request you to share them. > Actually i am very much new in astrology and wish to discover it and > understand its logics. > > Thanks and Best Regards > Tarun > > Graham Fox wrote: > > > Dear Tarun, > > This is an interesting perspective.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Dear Tarun and Graham, Namaskarams and thank you for your comments on interpretation of Rahu and Ketu. I understand the interpretation is done on three points. 1) Sani vat Rahu or Kuja vat Ketu as natural phenomena. 2) As Lord of Rasi occupied by Rahu or Ketu 3) Aspects of other planets received by Rahu or Ketu. Many times we come across interpretations made on aspects of Rahu and Ketu on other planets or Houses. So I wish to know views 1) Aspects made by shadow planets on other planets and houses. 2) Does Rahu and Ketu also can have Avasthas like Baal, Kumar, Yuva, Vridha and Mrith . with regards V.Venkata Rao , "Graham Fox" <fox.graham wrote: > > Dear Tarun, > I'm not sure what you mean by "Vs".
