RE: 4/15.. MK ..re... How Rahu/ketuarebenefic or malefic for ahoroscope?

I think of Rahu as a baby bird with its mouth wide open, wanting to be fed all the time. It seems to have huge appetites, whether for material things, power, attention, food, you name it. Some, but not all people with R rising are unusually large physically, though not neccessarily fat. Other things have to concur.

Yes, it does seem that a strong R is busy creating future karma. There's sort of a quality of being an infant that wants all these experiences without thinking out where they will land as a result of having them.

During my Rahu dasha, I expressed my spiritualitythrough witchcraft, and this is what my published books are written about(Ketu in fifth, which can be to do with ritual expression)...so theRahu/Ketu axis comes into play here. I certainly felt I was moving throughsomething from past lives. Of course, when I say witchcraft and magic Idon't mean in in the terms the media paints it with (which are more akin toblack magic) but as a form of spirituality aligned with the natural world,benign and compassionate.

But I really thinkboth nodes are great spiritual teachers. Komilla Sutton's book on the nodesis the best I've seen in either eastern or western astrology, and shestresses the possibility of resolution through them.> > You're the one I should have said "Good luck with the grandbaby" to, so I say> it now.Thanks ;-) I feel so privileged that they will all be living with us, eventhough we'll be cramped.
