KARMIC PLANETS
In a few days’ time, there will be a change in the placement of the two great Astrological Planets – Rahu and Ketu in the celestial sky. The transit is taking place after 1 year and 8 months and will have various types of effect on different zodiacs. Before analysing the transit, let us first know as to what this shadow planet Rahu is and details about the smoky planet Ketu.
Planet Rahu:
There are various types of mythological stories about the astrological planet Rahu. As per the allegorical fables, the astrological planet Rahu and Ketu was a demon and during the Ocean churning event, they were trying to drink the nectar of ever long life. Planet Sun and Moon watched the incident with caution and immediately informed Lord Vishnu. The Lord anticipating danger beheaded the demon with his Sudarshan Chakra. In the meantime, one drop of nectar have gone inside the body of the demon and hence the first part of the body i.e the Head is known as Planet Rahu and the other half of the body is known as Planet Ketu.
Astrological planet Rahu is a materialistic planet and remains always unsatisfied. Highly innovative in nature, this planet creates an aura around it, so that it becomes impossible for ordinary people to judge the person who is controlled by Rahu. Planet Rahu wants worldly belongings at one go and provided a chance it wants possessions of those in seconds. This planet never obeys the law and delivers sudden results.
So, whether life events are for bad or good, Rahu makes it happen in a very sudden way. Rahu is also about illusion and it creates a mist around the person. Individual with well- placed Rahu can become a great film artist. Most film stars have well placed Rahu in their vedic horoscope. Rahu also rules the political arena and by that it also means that politicians who have reached to higher position have a well placed Rahu.
However, there are many events in life, where Rahu make wonders. Most of the never forgotten stories in the world are due to the planet Rahu. This planet has created history and those are not the ones which will be forgotten. The creation of an individual in the Rahu Mahadasha with a well placed Rahu in the vedic chart remains memorable forever, even after the death of the individual. This planet is fascinating and the deeds accomplished always keep a mark in the history books.
This planet may make you a King or may help you to rise to a level of the King out of nothing. That’s the height of uncertainty with this planet. It’s unpredictable and hence prognosticating about the astrological prospect of the planet becomes difficult.
Except Jupiter and Venus the planet Rahu is not controlled by any other astrological planets. Venus being the demon spiritual leader, the planet never does harm to its own spiritual guru. Jupiter is the celestial spiritual leader of the Devtas and always reins in planet Rahu to perform things in a great way. Hence you may observe that the great scientists may have Jupiter and Rahu together. Planet Rahu means sudden expansion and planet Jupiter is about expansion by patience. So, both the planets go well together. With rest of the planets, Rahu is all about taking their nature like a chameleon and expanding their energies. The planet Rahu has fifth and ninth aspect from its sign.
Aspects of planet Rahu are also there in the seventh house but since it’s seeing its own body Ketu, the aspect is not that great. Planet Rahu is known as the North Node of the Moon.
Planet Ketu:
This is a spiritual planet and generally symbolizes detachment. This is the planet which makes you learn the art of isolation in one’s life. The planet Ketu is a spiritual planet and signifies processes of materialization to spirit and may be considered both benefic and malefic since it causes sorrows and loss and at the same time it brings ones closer to God. Planet Ketu is the karaka for non-attachment, fantasy and intuition. A well placed Ketu provides one with great wealth and good health to the native. This is the planet for liberation and enlightenment. Planet Ketu is the South Node of the Moon.
