Master Your Destiny: The Role of Rahu and Ketu in Astrology

1.The Origin of Rahu and Ketu

According to Hindu mythology, Rahu and Ketu were created from the churning of the cosmic ocean. Legend has it that Such an asura(disguised devil) like Swarbhanu took on the guise of a Deva(chanter of spirits)chap in order to deceive the Gods into serving him Amrita (immortal nectar) but he was killed by Lord Vishnu in an attempt to drink this liquid for attaining everlasting life, moments before it could reach his lips. The head evolved into one known as Rahu while the upper body became that of Ketu, two immortal entities that have substantial influences on an individual’s life. Rahu through their transit across horoscopic axes brings about drastic changes such as attachment and detachment, gain and loss.

2.Astrological Symbolism

2.1  Learning Rahu: The Shade of Desire

Worldliness, materialism and ambition are some of the issues with which Rahu is often connected. Some important points on Rahu include:

• Desiring Power: It awakens a yearning for fame, power and position within us. Do you keep trying even after failing times because you want success always? That’s Rahu’s influence! 🌟
• Struggles for Progress: It also gives us challenges and difficulties that help us grow stronger. Have you ever experienced something that looks off at the beginning but turned out to be your greatest blessing later in life? This world is a place for those who desire different cultures and connecting with foreigners.
  Foreign Connections: Rahu is associated with Karakas forawaasa (foreigners), foreign trips and internet in Vedic myth. Do you love other societies or reaching out to non-native individuals.’’

2.2 Ketu: The Pointer to Spirituality

Spiritual attainment, renunciation and detachment are what Ketu stands for unlike Rahu. Let’s break it down;

• Yearning For Enlightenment: Through Ketu a person would be motivated to walk past worldly desires and look for enlightenment along the inside. Is there any person who once felt like he was created for something else rather than succeeding in terms of riches?
• Inner Harmony: While Ketu may not seem real, it also directs us towards inner peace through spiritual elevation. Can you achieve peace when you have a chaotic situation around hit? So are you on it or not?

This is the point where moksha karaka helps one discover his true self-worth. So are you engaged in it or not? 🌿

2.3 The Cosmic Twins:

3.1 Rahu in Different Houses:

Desires concerning the house which is occupied by Rahu can become stronger when Rahu is in such a position. As an illustration, when Rahu is in the 10th house, your desire for a successful career may be at its peak; conversely, when in 7th house, this would lead to some complications in relationships.

3.2 Ketu in Different Houses:

The 12th house can signify spiritual growth when Ketu is placed there; on the other hand, when its place is the 4th house, it may indicate distance from her child/mother figure.

3.3 Relationships With Other Planets:

Significance of these two maleficent bodies solely depends on whether they are conjunct with other planets in someones natal chart – don’t we see them making strife amongst themselves while harmonizing well with others?
