rahu mahadasa lunar nodal radio signals!

[Guest guest]

Dear Poster,

 

There are many diverse opinions and even claims for rahu and ketu in

ancient and contemporary jyotish and given your personal experience, I

can understand why you sound a bit frustrated and want so much to get

to the bottom of this and work with some simple foundational tenets as

you call general principles.

 

Rahu and ketu, have -- as many believe -- a role that in a card game

would be defined as the wild card. They can act as surrogates for

other planets, being shadow planets themselves. Yes they have been

given different rulerships, and as I observerd earlier in

'Astrotreasures...' articles they change drastically even in the gold

standard, magnum opus that BPHS indeed is, between the early and the

late part of the compendium.

 

Moon and mercury are realized to be fast, movable and changeable but

even those two have very defined rulerships and other attributes,

though their range of wavering may extend beyond those of other

visible planets. The Lunar nodes are way more variable and moon and

mercury despite their fluidity pale in comparison to the nodes.

 

Truly, sun and moon are the two primary time keepers in the human

experience clock, like the hour hand and the minute hand. The conjugal

product of the two: sun and moon are the lunar nodes! If sun and moon

did not have the orbits that they have, there would not be rahu and

ketu and remember that all of this is happening from the earthly

perspective. Only from the geo-centric perspective do rahu and ketu

exist. They, more than other indicators, thus are more directly

connected with the earthly reality and hence more personal and yet

impersonal!

 

The impersonality comes from their taking on the impressions and

attributes of other planets whose surrogates they become. I think of

rahu and ketu in general terms as the carrier waves of a radio. The

specific content of the radio broadcast, the 'flavour' arises from the

planet/planets that in a given horoscope give the carrier waves of the

lunar nodes the 'signal'!

 

If you are a radio buff, you must have noticed the noise that you hear

when you turn on the radio when a station is not broadcasting. This is

easier to notice in the short wave bands where stations tend to

broadcast for a shorter period of time and there is generally more

noise than signal!

 

The pure form of lunar node, their inherent expression is the noise

that the carrier wave makes -- it is constant and unwavering. But when

the nodes take on a planet's portfolio, the radio station comes alive

and begins to give meaningful information and in that entertaining

moment and educative moment, suddenly we tune out the inherent noise

that the nodes represent.

 

Please take that as a seed and run with it. Thanks!
