Perhaps you can answer a question for me. What is the nature of

Rahu and Ketu? For instances during their Daasa periods, is one malefic

and the other benifics, or does it depend on their condition ? If one

were to undergo the Daasa of say Ketu and the Bhakti of Ketu, or visa

versa, what would that indicate? I am testing an idea Eshelman had of

Daasas as space rather then as time .

Bert,

 

The influence of Rahu and Ketu would depend on their condition, as they're

supposed to bring the results of planets conjoined to them or sometimes

their dispositors. The best way to understand Rahu and Ketu is to watch

their transits over planets in your chart.

 

Just recently Ketu transited my Sun and Moon in the 11th. My Sun is in its

fall, and the Moon is a non-entity, balsamic and closely conjoined to the

Sun. During this transit I felt minute, so small as to be non-existent.

Totally unimportant. A cypher. I felt like I was living in sort of a

nightmare world, disconnected from everything and everyone. Bad science

fiction. Also I was working on election charts and came to the wrong

conclusion.

 

I checked back to when Rahu transited my Sun and Moon. This was when we was

building our mountain home and there were lots of back and forth trips from

old home to new home. This was the first time I'd moved in about 25 years.

There was lots of trouble with the builder, as he'd disappear for days on

end. Later I found out he was an alcoholic, and I suspect he had a gambling

problem as well, as money seemed to disappear, but not into the house.

 

These two events/conditions seem totally unrelated. Does the difference

relate to the natal position of Rahu and Ketu? I know that when planets

transit Ketu, something unpleasant always happens. It seems to be occult in

a bad way. It's in Pisces in the 4th just at the junction of Saturn's lunar

mansion and Reveti. (Note: I wonder if the lunar mansion junctions are

'iffy' places...)

 

So many unanswered qestions. I hope others can contribute to this topic.

Cynthia? Chris? Steve?
