Guest guest Posted June 7, 2002 Report Share Posted June 7, 2002 Hello Everybody ! I am a newcomer to this list and I would like to ask, if I may, a very basic question : what are the aspects made by Rahu and Ketu ? I know that not everybody agree on this point. Can you enlighten me ? Thank-you very much Regards, Martine de Karoly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 8, 2002 Report Share Posted June 8, 2002 Dear Martine, Good you brought up this topic, because I've been caught up with this matter for quite some time. Normally, while personal opinions shouldn't count for much, it's my view that since they're but mere nodes in the sky, Rahu and Ketu simply can't have aspects. There are actually very confusing and contradicting noises I've heard about nodal aspects. Some quote Parashara as saying that Rahu has the same aspects as that of Jupiter. Unless I've a defective copy of BPHS, I see nothing in Slokas 11 to 15 of Chap 9 to substantiate such a postulation. Sarvarth Chintamani even says Rahu can aspect the 12th house from it, which should mean Rahu is looking ahead but moving backwards. Wow! wonder what that does to the theories on KSY and KAY. Sarvarth Chintamani adds a couple of interesting things - that 1. even Ketu has aspects and 2. Rahu and Ketu are incapable of afflicting the houses in which they're. I certainly look forward to comments by Visti, Hari and the other erudite ones here.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2002 Report Share Posted June 8, 2002 Vyam Vysadevaya Namah ------------------------ Dear List, What the nodes aspect is less important than; WHY! When we are born we carry 2 traits with us; Blessings and Curses. The two Grahas that signify these are Guru and Rahu, respectively. This is because Guru sees our past actions(9th) and blesses our future(5th). However Rahu see all our past actions(9th) and Curses our future(5th). But why should Rahu have dristi at all? The Graha Dristi of a graha, is dependant on its desires. i.e. What does Rahu desire for you? If Rahu has no desires, then it can be catagorised as Moksha Karaka?! This is far from the truth! Actually Rahu is a mind without a heart. Hence the perfect philosopher, yet also the worst criminal. This is why its the head of the demon. Rahu furthermore is constantly looking backwards, hence it aspects the 12th from it. Now keep in mind that its also constantly retrogade, so in the chart, it will aspect the 2nd from its position. How about Ketu? Ketu has no eyes, and hence cannot see.. he has no head either, and hence no mind. So Ketu only has a heart, and no desires. This gives us a vital understanding of the concept of Moksha, when we are content in ourselves, and can be relieved of this earthly abode. So Ketu has no Graha Dristi. I believe this is the 3rd time i've answered this question, and in the future i expect you to answer this querry, without a single doubt in your mind. Jaya Jagannath! Best wishes, Visti. - ramapriya_d vedic astrology Saturday, June 08, 2002 8:06 AM [vedic astrology] Re: Aspects made by Rahu and Ketu Dear Martine,Good you brought up this topic, because I've been caught up with this matter for quite some time.Normally, while personal opinions shouldn't count for much, it's my view that since they're but mere nodes in the sky, Rahu and Ketu simply can't have aspects.There are actually very confusing and contradicting noises I've heard about nodal aspects.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2002 Report Share Posted June 10, 2002 >So Ketu has no Graha Dristi. What about Rasi Dristi? Will Ketu have influence on the other rasis which are cast in rasi dristi? And since we know that the results of the Nodes can be given by their dispositors, will the results of Ketu, though he has no eyes, be given by it's dispositor, or associating planets? Though Ketu has no eyes, does he have no ears as well, thus can he not get knowledge through the association of other planets? Furthermore, Ketu represents the spiritual seer, after all, one does not need material eyes to see... there is also spiritual, or psychic vision, which is indeed a function of the heart. This is not an argument, I'm simply questioning, though I think it makes sense. Your sishya, Dhira Krsna dasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2002 Report Share Posted June 10, 2002 Om Guruave Namah Dear Dhira, Of what little i know i guess what you say is right. Ketu in a sign that gives rasi drishti also carries with it the influences of ketu. In other words the rasi in which ketu is present (or for that matter any planet posted in a sign) get's subtly modified because of what ketu stands for and the dirshti the rasi gives carries the same. Ofcourse, i may be totally off the mark. Kindly bear with this student.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2002 Report Share Posted June 10, 2002 Dear Hari, In your Chaturthamsa, the 4th lord is exalted in with rasi dristi of Ketu in 4th. Could that be why you're so good both in analysis and disclaimers?
