Dear Learned Members:

Namaskar. I would like the august audience to talk about Rahu and Ketu.

Being Chaaya grahams they are very powerful than often thought.

 

We have had people in the recent past ask some questions on the same.

Would be great if someone can clarify more than the questions below.

 

1. What is the nature of Rahu and Ketu?

2. What are the effects of Rahu and Ketu at various houses in the chart?

3.I have never seen these planets do any good.My dad went through Ketu

dasa where he got in court cases, property loss and loss of health and

peace of mind.

4. My sister is going through a tormenting time, Rahu dasa.

 

5. I lost my job at the end of Ketu Bukthi.

6. Kala sarpa dosham and yogam?

7.Kothanda Rahu?

8. How do we mitigate the effects of Rahu and Ketu?

9. We have often heard that Saturn to be the real teacher in our lives,

but does Rahu and Ketu also fall under that category?

 

Please throw some light.

Dear Wendy,

 

Good notes on Rahu and Ketu! I would like to add one more point

to what your site says:

 

Rahu gets delegated by Sani when it is in conjunction with or

its house is aspected by Sani. And, similarly, Ketu gets

delegated by Mars when it is in conjunction with or its house is

aspected by Mars. This is according to the dictums "Sanivad

Rahu" and "Kujavad Ketu".

 

Regards,

Krishna

Dear Krishna,

 

Again, common-sense tells us that during the dasa of Rahu he will deliver

similar results to Saturn as per their mutual association with the bhava

owned by Aquarius. Same applies to Ketu and Mars in regards to Scorpio. In

this way we say Rahu is akin to Saturn and Ketu is akin to Mars (as per

lordship).

Dear Wendy,

 

//"Rahu vat Sani - Ketu vat Kuja"//

 

What you have said is converse to "Shanivad Rahu - Kujavad

Ketu". Is the converse true as well? I did not know this!

 

Is this converse statement true all the time or under any

specific circumstance?

 

Regards,

Krishna

Dear Krishna,

 

The principle is the same :-)

 

Think about this...

During dasa of (either) Rahu or Saturn, Ketu or Mars; the house/s owned by

these planets will be activated i.e., when considering implications of own

house during period of Rahu (for you Rahu owning 7th occupies 2nd) one would

also consider the effect of 7th lord Saturn's position which Rahu (should)

reflect due to dual lordship. Of course not a mirror image as both occupy

different houses...different results to a large degree (naturally) but both

showing 7th house and reflecting the position of the other.

 

As we know, there are differing opinions regarding the houses owned by the

nodes. However, if we consider the two dictums of Parashara (see below)

concerning this, there should be little doubt... see Ch.47:

http://jyotishvidya.com/ch47.htm

 

1st dictum:

**34-39½. In order to clarify the effects of the Dasha of Rahu I shall first

mention the exaltation and debilitation Rashis of Rahu and Ketu. The

exaltation Rashi of Rahu is Vrishabh. The exaltation Rashi of Ketu is

Vrischik. The Multrikonas of Rahu and Ketu are Mithun and Dhanu. The own

Rashis of Rahu and Ketu are Kumbh and Vrischik. Some sages have expressed

the view, that Kanya is the own Rashi of Rahu and Meen is the own Rashi of

Ketu.**

 

2nd dictum (which I can't seem to locate at the moment).

Supports this (lordship) with the convincing statement...

"Shanivad Rahu - Kujavad Ketu".

 

As we know, Rahu is an indicator of change/upheaval...we're also told that

Rahu in kendra position signifies major (life-changing) events. I can

certainly confirm that during Rahu dasa a major life change occurred in

relation to 2nd house (family) reflecting 2nd lord Saturn's position in 6th

(stepmother). Similarly, during dasa of Saturn two major life changing

events occurred in relation to 2nd house (family) reflecting Rahu's position

in 7th and his conjunction with Jupiter.

 

These events would be difficult to fathom without considering the dictum

"Shanivad Rahu - Kujavad Ketu".

 

Best Wishes,

Mrs. Wendy

Dear Wendy,

 

Thanks a lot for furthering my understanding.

 

I have one more related question. As there is dual lordship for

Kumbha and Vrischika, should one treat both grahas as lords of

that house at all times or take only the stronger of the two as

the lord in a particular chart?

 

Regards,

Krishna

Dear Krishna,

 

As per my understanding lordship belongs to Saturn and Mars

respectively...they are the major planets...the nodes are secondary.

 

Perhaps others can add more to this?

Mrs. Wendy
