Guest guest Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Dear friend , Only second point is relevant . Interplanetary war is in between 5 Tara planets - Mars to Saturn. Absolutely no question of including Rahu and Ketu. Kindly refer Surya Siddhanta .

This concept has many interpretations but foremost are the following :- (1) The planet with the higher degree (longtitude) wins the war. (2) The planet with the higher Northern Declination wins the war. (3) Some Vedic group includes Rahu and Ketu; some don't.. Actually my interpretation is that both (1) and (2) are important with the caveat that people living in the Northern Hemisphere should use 'Northern Declination' and people in the Souther Hemisphere should use 'Southern Declination' as the earth is shaped like a sphere, so depending of which half of the side of the Equator your are born, you are more likely to see the planet that is nearer towards the appropriate pole (be it North or South). (Yes, the concept of any celestial body more visible in the sky crops up again). But (1) has greater weight than (2) because Relative Velocity (a concept similar to visibility from the vantage point on the surface of the Earth ie. us) depends on speed and direction as what we study in Mathematics. Since the planet moves rather slowly along the Declination but faster circling round the earth as seen by us, I would accord more weight in (1). That is why most Vedic Astrologers use (1). As to (3) whether to include Rahu and Ketu, if one chooses (2), then the point is moot. Rahu and Ketu are always at the plane of the equator. But if one were to choose (1), then they can be included. But bear in mind that even if the other true planet wins the war against Ketu or Rahu, the planet would still be swallowed up by them as in Vedic interpretation. Hence the win is rather small indeed.
