Some more thoughts on Ketu... (Response For Subramaniam)

October 31, 2002

Dear Subramaniam,

The Moon helps illuminates darkness. Think about that for a

moment.......

How do we know what is dark, without a source of light? What reveals

forms, and independent entities in darkness…?

In any chart, the Moon is examined to determine where the mind is, or

matters signifying the Moon. In this life, in the Rashi chart, the

influence of the Moon is going to relate to 5th House matters.

True -- jealousy is formed via the Nodes against the Moon. The Queen

of the night is also well-respected by the other planets. Rahu & Ketu

can cause some level of discomfort to Her. They are demonic

outcastes. She discovered their deception. She helped cause their

agony. Rahu & Ketu blame her to some degree.

While the Moon is nurturing, Ketu causes a void.

Ketu + Moon in Leo:

How comfortable are planets in this position? The Queen is in the

House of the King, who is well-respected in the Cabinet (Sun).

Ketu has to adapt, and be willing to act a little more dignified,

similar to the Sun.

There could be frustrations on the mental plane.

There could be a mental "eclipse" as the nodes cause an eclipse.

There could be uncertainty on issues at times.

Considerations:

How far are the Moon and Ketu? + - 5 degrees are considerd by some

as more influential as compared to Moon being at 1 degree, and Ketu

at 29.

What Nakshatras are they in?

Are there any aspects from Mars (Lagnesh), Jupiter (Light), Sun

(House Lord), and others?

At birth, was the Moon Waxing or Waning? Was it gaining potential on

day of birth, or ready to retire into darkness….?

Are there any planets 1 House ahead OR 1 House behind from the Moon?

Does the Moon get any support from other planets this way? There are

several Chandra Yogs formed in this manner.

All these have to be considered. Good luck in your research.

Best wishes and warm regards,

Nitin.

Dear Nitin,

How can Moon ever illuminate without the Sun?
