Guest guest Posted March 26, 2002 Report Share Posted March 26, 2002 Dear Sanjay, pranaam Thanks for the hint. From the way you worded it, I take it that Ketu can be considered a benefic because it is always opposed to the karaka of materialism and rebirth, Rahu. Consequently, Ketu in 3 or 6 from AL should give success in spiritual pursuits, provided it is strong. Prior to reading your books and joining this list, I thought Ketu is malefic for all matters other than moksha and jnana. Most astrology books available on the market say that it is of the nature of Mars and that it can cause violent reactions, injury and emotional disturbances. Generally, these books remain somewhat vague and simply say that the nodes are of a similar nature. So I thought that both Ketu and Rahu cause troubles but in the process, Ketu forces one to adopt a spiritual outlook. Sun-Ketu or Moon-Ketu conjunctions are often found in the charts of mystics. Caitanya Mahaprabhu with Moon-Ketu is a good example.In your books, you explain that Ketus transit in Trine to Arudha Lagna can be used for timing pravrajya. So the spiritual and enlightening effects of ketu seem clear. Now, from your books I also gathered that Ketu can give marriage in Narayana dasa and that it is griha karaka, house building significator. I am not clear why this is so. Perhaps your above statement (“it is always opposed to the karaka of materialism and rebirth”) is the explanation. I am sure you have given the rationale to your students in Delhi. Maybe one of them can further enlighten me. Astronomically, both nodes of the Moon can cause eclipses of the Moon or the Sun. This could be a reason why both nodes have a reputation to cause misery and disturbance. Thanks and regards, Arno -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Sanjay Rath [srath] Gesendet: Montag, 25.

It is always opposed to Rahu.

Strong malefics in 3 or 6 from AL give success in material life, strong benefics give spirituality. Ketu is a natural malefic but it is benefic for spirituality. So in your chart (or in any other chart in 3 or 6 from AL), does Ketu boost spiritual or material success? Another question: You have 2 benefics in Kendras. Doesn´t this cancel the Sarpa yoga?

I have very strong Sarpa Yoga and my Karakamsa is 6th from lagnamsa. So, there are many sever and damaging afflictions to my charts. Superficially, my chart may look good, with 2 planets in Moolatrikona, 3 in exaltation, 1 in Vargottama, 9th lord in 9th house in Devalokaamsa (but a badhaka), AK is exalted, Jupiter lord of 2nd and 11th houses aspects 11th house and 8 planets are in Kendra Kona.
