Combinations for astrologers - Rahu/Ketu

[Guest guest]

Dear Visti,

 

Thank you for the lengthy explanation.

 

As you say, Rahu does give research, and that too into occult

subjects. Parasara says that Rahu in the 5th from Swamsa makes a

jyotishi. Perhaps this is due to Rahu's obsession with the occult.

For example I have a friend that has entered Rahu antar, and has

taken a sudden interest in the study of jyotish. Rahu is AL lagna

lord in the 9th therefrom showing learning.

 

Rahu also rules ghosts and spirits. Perhaps this sloka also refers to

the astrologers who communicate with low level spirits in order to

get their answers. This is the case with many of the fake Brighu

readers, tarot readers, and many astrologer/psychics in the west.

 

BPHS ch 33 sl 44 and Ketu or Rahu in Swamsa or in the 5th from

there denotes that one is a Jyotishi.

 

Why is it that Parasar only mentions the nodes, and in particular

Ketu for the study of Jyotish, and not specifically Jupiter or

Mercury?

 

Perhaps in their time, the only people who would study mathematics in

such detail were astrologers, and that is why the nodes indicated

astrology?? thoughts?

 

Best regards,

Dear Alex,

Rahu sees jyotisha due to it inherent natural aspect on the 5th house.

There

are two ghotras of jyotisha that prevail at the time, rahu and guru

ghotra..

Guru is however, superior, since the rahu ghotra apart from original

resarch

power, may question the Satya of Guru as it is often the case..thus rahu

in

5th from Swamsa, rather from Navamsa would give knowledge of jyotisha,

however, for purity GURU must be strong and dominating, or some other

purity

yoga must exist in the chart.

I know a person who can predict very well, Kumba Lagna, however, Rahu is

in 9th house giving extreme views, and lack of purity, while guru is

placed in 8th house...

Best wishes,

Zoran

I have heard and also seen that Rahu gives the

influence of Mercury at times. So Rahu and Mercury in

Virgo should be a combination for Astrology too,

right?

If Ketu is in the 11th, then he would render a 5th

house aspect on the 3rd house (8th from 8th) and a 7th

house aspect on the 5th. Could this have any

significance?

Dear Anand!

 

Mercury gets afflicted when associate with a malefic. An afflicted mercury will

give flickering and unstable mind and aslo eccentric logical and deduction

ability.Can you clarify how Rahu conjoining Mercury give astrology, which

requires a stable and balance mind.

 

Ketu is a karaka for intuition and hence its placement in the occult houses,

mostly 8th/12th might show good intuition and perception ability of the

supernaturals. But mind it, Ketu doesn't cast aspect as it doesn't have head.

Dear Mr. Paddar,

I do agree with your point of view, as to Me getting

afflicted if with a Malefic. We could also look at the

situation from another stand-point. Rahu basically

introduces a factor of obsesion and a little ego. He

is also responsible for occult and research. Me being

the karaka for astrology, Ra being with it makes the

native want to ponder over the basis of asrology,

making him study deeper and conducting research in it.

Ra with Me could also give mantra Siddhi which some

consider important for Astrology. Astrology being a

scinece which is so vast, one can tire soon. An

obsessive nature towards the subject might help the

native hold on for a long time. These are just ways of

looking at it. I have seen a few horoscopes with

Me-Ra-Su combos. These people have been saintly and/or

astrologically inclined. Some charts with Me-Ra have

also shown interest in the ocult and in Astrology. I

might be wrong at implying that the Me-Ra combination

could be the cause for their inclination.

Dear Anand,

Can a headless Ketu have eyes? The head has gone with Rahu who has the eyes

and also the special aspects.

Dear Zoran,

 

This is very interesting about the two ghotras. I know of astrologers

who do not believe in God, but think that it is just a science. I

understand now that these fall under Rahu's grasp. Many Western

astrologers frown on Jyotish's relation to the divine.

Dear Guruji,

I find it difficult to understand that Ketu (though

headless) cannot have powers of aspect. if i may quote

another example of contradiction, Shiva burnt

Manmatha's body but Kama is still the lord of bodily

pleasures. So inspite of losing the head couldn't Ketu

exercise aspects? Aren't we looking at Ketu/powers of

ketu from a very human point of view (that if he

doesn't have a head how can he look). Shani too has a

downward gaze. How then can he aspect houses ahead of

him? I am confused. Please do clarify for me.

Seeking your blessings
