Rahu as Yogakaraka continuation of discussion...

font-family:"Courier New"">Dear Sanjay

font-family:"Courier New"">

font-family:"Courier New"">Many thanks for your insight on Rahu & Ketu –

this is invaluable.

font-family:"Courier New"">

font-family:"Courier New"">I have a few questions – hope you don’t mind

font-family:"Courier New"">

Q1>

You wrote in previous post..… ‘Where is

MOON placed in your horoscope? Depending on

font-family:"Courier New"">the

position of the NATAL MOON and RAHU's position from

NATAL Moon,

we

can pinpoint the exact nature of your horoscope’ My Moon is conjunct Rahu in 4th

in Taurus in Rasi. Also, according

to Jaimini principles of Atmakaraka,

Rahu is my Atmakaraka as opposed to Venus. Can you please elaborate further what the

exact nature of my horoscope is with Rahu as Atmakaraka

and conj moon. How can I interpret this and use this

combination to my best advantage.

font-family:"Courier New"">

font-family:"Courier New"">Q2>Ketu in 10th in Scorpio – I have

been looking this interpretation up in many books, but have found the

explanations contradictory at times. So, with Ketu exhalted in Scorpio, does

it mean that my career path is best suited to esoterics. As a matter of interest, I became

interested in all things esoteric when I entered Jup-Ket-Ket

Vimshottari Dasha in Jan 2003.

font-family:"Courier New"">

font-family:"Courier New"">Thanks again for your insight on Rahu and Ketu. I

think you should write a book on Rahu & Ketu, very little is devoted to it

in books – maybe there are books you can recommend.

font-family:"Courier New"">

font-family:"Courier New"">May I take the opportunity to wishes all on the

forum lots of Joy, Happiness & Prosperity for 2004

font-family:"Courier New"">

Hi Sanjay Jee,

This is regarding presence of Rahu in Scorpio and Ketu in tauras-

directly opposite to what is discussed.

 

One of my friends have Rahu in Scorpio

and Ketu in Tauras with SUN and MER.

 

He is struggling with the job front. Can you elaborate what kind of

results are expected with this combination. You have said that

results can be drastic.

His ASC is Leo

and scorpio contains Rahu

and Pisces contains Jup and Mars

and Tauras contains Ketu,Sun and Mer

and Gemini contains Moon and Saturn

and Cancer contains Venus.

 

What is expected when rahu in 4th in scorpio and ketu in 10th in

tauras ?

 

 

Regards
