Rahu / Ketu Rulership & something more...

[Guest guest]

Thank you for your well researched write up on Rahu/Ketu rulership. You state

that Rahu aspects other planets whilst Ketu does not.

Pandit Gopesh Kumar Ojha at page 74 of his book on Predictive Astrology of the

Hindus states, "Rahu and Ketu do not aspect nor are they aspected. But suppose

Rahu or Ketu is in a particular sign and that sign is aspected by Jupiter;

then due to the quality of the sign being beneficially improved due to

Jupiter's aspect, the quality of Rahu or Ketu is also automatically improved

and we say that Rahu or Ketu is aspected by a benefic. But strictly speaking

Rahu and Ketu are affected by conjunction of benefics or malefics and do not

come in the realm of aspects."

I respectfully invite you, Gurus and learned members to throw some light on

this, as the problem of aspects so far as Rahu and Ketu are concerned have not

been put to rest.

Looking forward to hearing from everyone of you.

Thank you.

Hi David,

 

I totally agree,shadow planets do not aspect at all.If

they are aspected somehow than only they give

results.They even don't act as a dispositor.Only Rahu

ketu results you will see when these palnets are

getting aspected by some other planets,squaring

up,sextile or trine brings results.

 

Even alone placement,they don't give result,till they

are been aspected by real strong planets in a chart.

Dear David

 

The term aspect or what we call in Sanskrit as Graha Dristhi is the

"desire" of the planet to influence the matters of a house,.

As per the Puranas(mythology) Rahu was the asuric demon who wanted a

share of nectar of immortality and was desirous of obtaining the same.

His head was cut off with the timely intervention of sun and moon who

complained to the all pervading Vishnu about the stealth. The head

since then has come to be known as Rahu and the body as Ketu,.

Now since Rahu had already drunk a small drop of nectar, the head

could not die, and hence is always alive and immortal with desires.

Thus rahu in us Represents the desire for a body(material), whereas

Ketu represents the yearning for head full of knowledge. Note that

ketu doesnot have a desire to get moksha, but a pursuit for the

liberation.

Thus Rahu does have aspect and a very powrful aspect. He has the Papa

drishti to all that is good(jupiter). As we are aware Jupiter has

three aspects 5,9,and the normal 7th aspect. Similary Rahu does have

an aspect to bring all that we had done in past. Rahu represents the

Sins of the past, whereas ketu the mistakes.

Rahu also aspects 12th from its own place as it is the reason for rebirth.

Ketu cannot have a dristhi, as it doesnot have a desire. Graha Dristhi

is the desire to infleunce the matters of the particular house.

That is why the Raja Yogas formed by mutual aspect (Desire to be a

king) of lagna and fifth lord are more powerful than mere rasi

drishti.

Dear Shripal

 

All the planets are representative of certain relative truths of our being.

Rahu and Ketu are shadowy planets doesnot mean that they are Shadows.

Why are you taking them in literal sense.

Rahu and ketu act in a subtle manner, you may not be able to notice

their effect. Their effects are either felt suddenly or over a long

period of time. That is why they are called Shadowy planets, and not

because they are shadows

Namaste Members,

 

This is a good topic, however, since Rishis and great authors hold

different views regarding the houses of Ra/Ke, astrologers simply

follow what their teachers advise them. This holds true for all other

matters where any authority(pramaaNa) is not fixed by great authors.

Like the year in question, whether saura or saavana should be

considered etc;

 

The authors probably fixed the signs, seeing the good results they

gave in those houses. The great Varahamihira doesn't give much

importance to Ra / Ke. The reason, probably is, they can't give any

results of their own. The results they give depends on the house

posited, nakshatra occupied, aspects, conjunctions etc; Therefore,

deducing the results of Ra/ Ke is no easy task. Sometimes, they give

very good results and sometimes very bad. Although Ra is generally

described as material, in some charts, the influence Ra supported

spiritual progress.

 

For Ke, I don't consider aspects, while for Ra, I consider 5,9,7

aspects.

Dera Shripal, David and Friends,

 

The counter arguements, you have raised, are interesting indeed. On

vedic astrology , this issue was thoroughly dicussed many times.

There are some thougth provoking messages/comments during September 1999.

(messages 1750 to 1800). Where Sanjay Rath, Narasimharao, Robert A. Koch, Zoran

and other SJC Guru's taught same what Partha has opined now, and infact it is

widely accepted.

 

I am attaching a file "Tribute to Rahu" contains views and case studies, not

given on SJC forum. Though it is not necessary to blindly follow anyone , as

skepticism is the foundation of scientific research.

As far as, the aspect of Rahu is concern. Numerous Jyotish classics have

endorsed its validity and mentioned combinations casued by Rahu's aspect, so it

may be baseless to say Rahu can not aspect.

 

Regards,

M.Imran

Namaste Members,This is a good topic, however, since Rishis and great authors

hold different views regarding the houses of Ra/Ke, astrologers simply follow

what their teachers advise them. This holds true for all other matters where

any authority(pramaaNa) is not fixed by great authors. Like the year in

question, whether saura or saavana should be considered etc; The authors

probably fixed the signs, seeing the good results they gave in those houses.

The great Varahamihira doesn't give much importance to Ra / Ke. The reason,

probably is, they can't give any results of their own. The results they give

depends on the house posited, nakshatra occupied, aspects, conjunctions etc;

Therefore, deducing the results of Ra/ Ke is no easy task. Sometimes, they

give very good results and sometimes very bad. Although Ra is

Attachment: (application/msword) Tribute to Rahu.doc [not stored]

[Guest guest]

Dear David,

I would like to add. As you know ,Rahu and ketu are the nodes of moon which

appear as shadows of moon in the form of snake's hood and long tail(like

cobra). As you have read stories about asura planets etc on net it make no

relevance to repeat it again. This story is symbolic and need to be unfolded.

Since rahu is hood of snake and without tail. So snake's hood has eyes; so eyes

give it outwardly looking nature which motivates native to long for and desire.

Materialism and Desires are worldly phenomenon and snakes' hood with eyes

studded on the face bestly represent it. So rahu represents symbolically

whatever relates to material world and ofcourse our unsatiated desires and

nodoubt problems emanating from nonfulfilment of these outworldly desires and

resulting thereby in our more misreable lives due to impact of Rahu.

Some people say that being nonexistant planets they don't have aspects. Some

people say that only Rahu having eyes can see ( aspect) and it has only fifth

and seventh aspect. Ketu being tail has no aspect.

Ketu being without eyes, it represents intensity to look inwardly(inside soul),

not outwardly as in case of Rahu. Inward means introspection, self analysis,

introvert nature , fears, suspicious. Rahu is extrovert. Rahu being snake, is

venomous and firey,it vomit out poison, so the native becomes bitter tongued

vomitting out lava as in case volcanos.You can further interpret Rahu through

meaning of Volcano and associated symbols giving in philosophical meaning to

these denotions.(So it brings havoc in our lives). Ketu being opposite in

nature, it gives coldness, frigidity, suspicion and the man becomes introvert

and this looking inside nature turns the man towards spiritualism and religion.

Longing for self actualisation or moksha. Astrologers have tried to decodify the

nature of these shadows with their experience and intelligence. You can also go

far in thinking to reinterpret their roles by understanding pictures of Rahu

and ketu coupling with picking up

threads from story of immortal Rahu expressed in vedic astrology.

thanks,

Dear DavidThe term aspect or what we call in Sanskrit as Graha Dristhi is

the"desire" of the planet to influence the matters of a house,.As per the

Puranas(mythology) Rahu was the asuric demon who wanted ashare of nectar of

immortality and was desirous of obtaining the same.His head was cut off with

the timely intervention of sun and moon whocomplained to the all pervading

Vishnu about the stealth. The headsince then has come to be known as Rahu and

the body as Ketu,.Now since Rahu had already drunk a small drop of nectar, the

headcould not die, and hence is always alive and immortal with desires.Thus

rahu in us Represents the desire for a body(material), whereasKetu represents

the yearning for head full of knowledge. Note thatketu doesnot have a desire to

get moksha, but a pursuit for theliberation.Thus Rahu does have

aspect and a very powrful aspect. He has the Papadrishti to all that is

good(jupiter). As we are aware Jupiter hasthree aspects 5,9,and the normal 7th

aspect. Similary Rahu does havean aspect to bring all that we had done in past.

Rahu represents theSins of the past, whereas ketu the mistakes.Rahu also aspects

12th from its own place as it is the reason for rebirth.Ketu cannot have a

dristhi, as it doesnot have a desire. Graha Dristhiis the desire to infleunce

the matters of the particular house.That is why the Raja Yogas formed by mutual

aspect (Desire to be aking) of lagna and fifth lord are more powerful than mere

rasidrishti.best wishesparthaOn Tue, 18 Jan 2005 21:12:37 -0800 (PST), David
