Aspects of Rahu and Ketu

Namaste Mr.Robert,

 

Thanks for this elaborate fact analysis. But, the aspects, what these slokas talking about can be "Rasi drishti" (Sign aspect). Because, I noted in some of the places in Saravali, it is mentioned, that 'if Venus aspects Sun' or 'if Venus receives the aspect of Sun'. This aspect is possible only in Rasi drishti, as Venus and Sun will not be 6 signs apart. I am not saying that Rahu/Ketu are not having drishti, because, I follow Pt.Sanjay's teachings.

 

What I mean to say is this will not put an end to the controversy.

 

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

 

Your sisya

Solai Kannan

 

Robert A. Koch [rk]Sunday, January 14, 2001 3:20 AMvedic astrology Subject: [vedic astrology] Aspects of Rahu and KetuNamaste friends,On one of the other Jyotish lists, the question of whether or not Rahu/Ketu cast aspects, again appeared. It seems that this subject is forever controversial, yet many Jyotish classic elude to aspects of the nodes, and many make direct statements to their aspects. The quotes that I will provide as follows give diminutive instances in which the nodes cast aspects, although it is not specified whether such aspects are on 5 and 9, or whether they are by Rashi drishti. In any case, I thought I would copy the references that I have found, which should put to rest any doubts that the Rahu/Ketu do indeed cast aspects:CLASSICAL REFERENCES TO THE ASPECTS OF RAHU AND KETUBPHS, Chapter 9, verses 7-11:Grahas (any Graha) in the 12th house will be the source of a short life,specifically the luminaries (Sun and Moon), Venus, and Rahu. But the aspectof these four planets (on the 12th house) will counteract such evils."BPHS, Chapter 30, verse 38:38. If Rahu is in the 7th or the 12th from Ascendant Pada or gives anaspect to one of the said houses, the native will be endowed with spiritualknowledge and be very fortunate.BPHS 33, 36:Ketu's aspect on the 5th from Karakamsha will cause dysentery and otherdiseases caused by (impure) water.BPHS: 33, 50:If Saturn and Rahu give an aspect to, or occupy, the 9th from Karakamsha,one will betray his elders and be averse to ancient learning.JATAKA PARIJATA: 6, 87:87. When the Moon in conjunction with a malefic planet occupies the signoccupied by the lord of the 8th bhava and when the last mentioned planet isaspected by Rahu, the person born will suffer from a disease affecting theprivities.JATAKA PARIJATA: 6, 97When Saturn in conjunction with Mars occupies the 6th bhava, and isaspected by the Sun and Rahu, and when the lord of the Ascendant is withoutstrength, the result will be a lingering illness.JATAKA PARIJATA: 8, 50If the Moon occupies the sign Scorpio and be aspected by Rahu, the personborn will be a poor man.JATAKA PARIJATA: 8, 51:If the Moon occupies the sign Scorpio and be aspected by Ketu, the personborn will be a minister of a king.JATAKA PARIJATA: 8, 52When the Moon in Capricorn is aspected by Rahu, the person born will be abeggar.JATAKA PARIJATA: 8, 52:When the Moon in Capricorn is aspected by Ketu, the persons born will be alord.JAIMINI SUTRAM: 1, 7:7. When the Sun, Rahu and Venus occupy or aspect the twelfth from Arudhalagna the expenditure or losses arise because of the governmental action.JATAKA PARIJATA: 3, 42:When Mars occupies the Ascendant being aspected by Rahu, the person bornwill have a cord coiled round his body.JATAKA PARIJATA: 4, 4:4. Even though Jupiter may occupy the Ascendant, if the Moon be in the 8th,the 12th or the 6th bhava and be aspected by the malefic planet Rahu, thechild meets with death.JATAKA PARIJATA: 4, 59:59. When Saturn occupies a Navamsa owned by Jupiter and is aspected byRahu, and the lord of the Ascendant is not aspected by benefic planets, thenewborn child dies at once.JATAKA PARIJATA: 4, 59When Saturn occupies a Navamsa owned by Jupiter and is aspected by Rahu,and the lord of the Ascendant is not aspected by benefic planets and thelord of the rising sign is in his exaltation, the life of the child is 19years.With regards,Robert=====================================Robert A.
