Guest guest Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 i agree to you both that Rahu is really one of the Vital caltalyst here in the case of 8th house matters. i have seen chart of one of my late Neighbour's, who had 'obsession' for 'Spiritual Sadhana', 'Austerity', 'Truthfullness' and Realisation. he had Rahu in 8th in Makara & despositor Saturn in exaltation. Regards, Utpalvijayadas_pradeep <vijayadas_pradeep > wrote: Dear shri SabriIt was nice to read your post and valuable thoughts.Satisfaction can result because of lack of knowledge as well as trueknowledge.True and realized soulss have no doubts and are satisfied.False bleiefs and our own convictions can also make us satisfied.But non satisfaction and the desire for knowing the Truth,marks thebeginning of our journey.Obsession and deep attachment towards ourgoal,results.Undersatnding Rahu and Ketu as you have mentioned may help us here.Rahu and Ketu are the forces which encompass the essence of all theenergy forms and tattwas.They bind the forces together.When in trueform, they represent the confluence of all energies.Rahu is like the force which can absorb all the ''colours''of light.We know when an object absorbs all and liberates none the result is black.Sage said Rahu will give the results of the sign(lord) it occuppies and the planets it associate.Thus when the 8th lord is associating, Rahu absorbs all that is related to the 8th bhava, as advised by sage.This results in a deep obsession towards 8th house matters.Thus your points are really valauble.Now if other planets too influence Rahu,the results will be mixed.ketu is the reverse force.When Rahu is like a magnet which attracts iron filings,ketu is like a fan which can blow finer particles.Ketu is thus the liberating force,which attracts none.When an object absorbs none and liberates all,the result is white.12th house is the house of energy spent.When Ketu is in the 12th,all the energy gets liberated,resulting in vimochana from this samsara orliberation from the bondage of births and rebirths.When all that is absorbed is being liberated,the result iswhite.Vimshamsha is for worship and spiritual inclinations.Sidhamsha is for the sidhis that we have.Spirituality is the direction towards spirit or the soul.As Rahu and Ketu will be always under the influence of a single planet (falling in amsha lorded by the same planet) for matters of Vimshamsha,this amsha may be holding a vital key as Narasimha ji has mentioned.Conisidering Bhavas in Rashi chakra and seeing their relationship in vimshamsha may take us closer than considering bhavas in amshas, is my undersatnding as advised by sage.Thus looking at Rahu in a chart will reveal our obsessions while Ketureveals what we want to liberate.The obsession results in a strain.When Vairagya is also present the effect may be full.Release of sexual energy can be with or without our control.when it is within our control,the duration of pleasure is prolonged and fully felt.Breath control is the key.Similarly release of any form of energy is a pleasure.True energy when liberated with our knowledge,results in the ultimate satisfaction.This may be the awakening.when we are aware of the awakening,we may feel the passage of energy through all the channels or one may enjoy and feel all the constiuents of light. These are just my humble thoughts,which got triggered after reading valuable thoughts from you and other learned members of this group.RegdsPradeep--- In vedic astrology, "Sabri" <korua@e...> wrote:> Dear Lakshmi, Namaste,> > I guess, Shri Narasimha PVR Rao as well as other learned members > have adressed your question, e.g. how to see, in general, Kundalini > activity in a chart, in Rashi and Vimshamsha, a few threads up.> > My humble thinking is that, a person who has a spiritually powerful > chart is a candidate for this kind of activity.
