Guest guest Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 ||| Hare Rama Krishna ||| Dear Prital and List members, Namaskaar. Some more thoughts below… Thank you, Nitinji. I was just asking cuz I did not know that rahu and ketu co-ruled those rasis (i'm still learning). [Via Nk] So am I. Glad to engage in the discussion. So, then would rahu for Aqua lagnas and Ketu for Scorpio lagnas be considered benefic (since they are lagna lords)? [Via NK] I generally do not consider the Lagnesh (Lagna Lord) as a classified "malefic." On the other hand, I try to refrain form words such as "benefic" and "malefic" as they do not completely describe and capture the essence of something. :> Try to understand Rahu. Try to understand Ketu. Take a wholistic approach, as you are doing. When on the Earth, the blazing Sun will continue to shine irrespective of whether the people on earth have slippers / shoes to wear on a hot sunny day. The coming of winter will freeze the lakes and water bodies where it does, irrespective of man's readiness. …all the grahas (planets) have a role to play. Sometimes the lessons imparted are not as nurturing as the others. The sages used "saumya" implying soft and "Krura" implying harsh. I hope I've managed to give a bit more (though, perhaps subjective definition,) to the description of "benefic" and "malefic." And what about their aspects on other planets? [Via NK] Here is one link to consider form the archives. vedic astrology/message/6418 Consider Rashi Drishti for Ketu only. Prital [Via NK] Best wishes, Nitin. || Namah Shivaaya || Quote
