Effects of rahu and ketu in horoscope


Rahu and ketu axis is the most mysterious thing to understand in astrology, the axis of these
two planets and the houses involved in the axis of this two imaginary point carries great
secrets of karmic sheaths in a horoscope. It is the karmic indicator of good and bad things
which are present through generations in a family not visible to the us with naked eyes, the
sufferings of which are felt but the root cannot be traced or expressed to anybody, this
cannot be understood unless one knows the family history of last 3-4 generations. The
effects of rahu and ketu in a horoscope manifest through this axis and the connection of the
houses involved in the axis of this planets, if an astrologer is able to delineate the result of
this axis the client can get a good idea of the karmic debt he carries from his past.
Rahu and ketu are two imaginary points of intersection of the paths of sun and moon as they
move in the cosmos. Rahu and ketu cause eclipse to the sun and moon and are considered
as the biggest enemies of sun and moon, why ? Because the nodes block the light or
consciousness. Rahu has a nature of serpent and it poisons you to the illusions of material
world, it creates maya. Rahu eclipses the moon (karaka of mind) exaggerating the desires
and lust in the mind, it always gives material things which do not bring lasting happiness.
Ketu on the other hand eclipses the sun which represents ego, self-esteem. Ketu means loss
of the ego, self-esteem. Rahu intoxicates with the poison of maya while ketu releases you
from the bondages by self-realization. Rahu is a trap for the soul to take rebirths while ketu is
the gateway to liberation by self-realization getting released from the trap of rahu (maya).
Effects of Rahu and ketu in horoscope
This axis reveals a wealth of information in a horoscope through the placement in natal and
the divisional charts. The effects of rahu and ketu in the horoscope can be traced through the
placement of their axis. Rahu will generate illusions related to the house it is placed in, it will
drag you towards the material world, to do wrong things suppressing your guilty feelings
which the soul gets when one does wrong but rahu is a harbinger or greed and lust for power
and material success which will make you trapped in the enjoyments through 6 senses. Ketu
on the other hand will take things away from you, make you directionless, depressed,
generate unknown thirst inside, pull you magnetically towards phobias, inferiority complexes
and ultimately towards enlightenment if well placed and aspected by benefics. A good well
placed ketu in aspect of jupiter is a promoter of spiritual progress which comes after burning
in fire or by loss of someone/something very dear to you. Enlightenment always comes
suffering or shocks, Man moves towards god when he looses everything, meets with sorrow,
pain, deceit which is exactly the opposite of what rahu does, Rahu will make you trap in the
illusions of maya while ketu will pull you out of the maya and take you to self introspection or
self realization on the path of spirituality which is the true quest of human birth after all kinds
of sufferings, A coal turns into diamond after going through many geological processes, Man
also realizes god through self-realization and goes towards moxa after being dragged
through the fires of suffering and pain which makes him realize the illusions and drag him out
of them. Nobody in the world will try to know Shri Hari or God unless one gone through
lots of miseries and pain in life, the real journey towards moxa begans only after you suffer
and move towards self-realization.

beheading the demons when they drank nectar. Recitation of Ventakesh stotra coupled with
Vishnu sahasranaam is the best remedy for all problems
