(Lord of 9th House) by its 10th house aspect, Saturn being in 7th

house of Saggitarius. The diff. in degrees of Saturn (8:52) and Rahu

(13:29) is less than five degrees. Also, Mars (5:47) in 3rd house of

Leo aspects Ketu by its 8th Hosue aspect, but here the difference is

little less than 8 degrees. What is your opinion of Rahu & Ketu in

this case--is either one Yoga Karaka? Is it Rahu (I think so)?

Would appreciate ur reply.
