Very profound statement. I guess this sort of settles the doubt I > had. But

Male deities.

I guess. :-)

I basically agree with Sudharsan.

 

Exalted Rahu is in a Mercurial sign with Mercury going to a Saturnine sign. Both

Rahu and his dispositor Mercury have unobstructed argalas from Saturn. I would

guess a Vaishnava form of Rahu. Rahu with Venus in a Mercurial sign can show

Padmavati and Vekateswara. Get a picture of Lakshmi and Srinivasa (or Padmavati

and Venkateswara) and worship them together. That would be my advice.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,
