Guest guest Posted March 23, 2002 Report Share Posted March 23, 2002 Hello, I'm a beginner in Vedic Astrology, as you might have inferred from a previous mail. I want to read Vedic Astrology, but first I must try to solve numerous problems in my life. I think it could help if I knew what are the efects of Rahu and Ketu retrograde. I read a book of Mr. James Braha's depicting them as utterly malefic except when in signs ruled by Jupiter or Mercury. If someone might tell me, please tell me. Please don't despise me, don't reject me for not being of the Hindu religion. True, I don't have your wisdom and knowledge; but I do respect all cultures, and admire particulary Hindu culture. And I think tolerance is, or should be one of the supreme values to avoid having this world destroyed. I would be most grateful if someone would be willing to help me with this; or at least to recommend me books for learning the basics of Hindu religion, religious stories, and Astrology. If necessary, I'll learn another idiom, though I know each one of these goals will take me years of learning. Even to begin I would need months, but I would study as diligently as possible. Thank you very much indeed. Sincerily, Alexander C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 25, 2002 Report Share Posted March 25, 2002 In general Rahu and Ketu are always travelling backwards (retrograde). So that is their usual motion. Although considered malefic, they do participate in yogas that give them positive powers as well. It also depends on their locations in the chart, its hard to make a generic statement.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2002 Report Share Posted April 3, 2002 Dear Mr. Viraj, Thank you very much for your interest and knowledge. I dared to ask because on a website (of conventional astrology, which isn't as developed as the Vedic Astrology) there was something about a "moon node retrograde" (though I'm just a beginner, and might have made a mistake), but now I understand. Thank you very much indeed. Sincerily, Alexander C. vedic astrology, "virajpat" <virajpat> wrote: > In general Rahu and Ketu are always travelling backwards > (retrograde).
