Guest guest Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Dear Friends, I have discussed the meaning of this sloka with many savants, but no satisfactory meaning could be arrived at. This sloka may mean as under , 1 Rahu may be treated as if in his own house if placed in four signs including Aquarius.  The other signs will obviously be Taurus,Gemini and Virgo as per Parasara himself. 2 Likewise Ketu will give good results if placed in Scorpio , Scorpio , Pisces and Sagittarius. I purposely repeated Scorpio. If Nodes will be in these signs , they will yield to good results at the time on commencement of their Dasas. Chatustaya should not be interpreted as four houses continuously. Jatak Parijat says that Rahu in Aries , Scorpio, Aquarius,Virgo,Taurus,and Cancer signs and in 10H gives good results. Ketu gives good results in Virgo, Pisces,Taurus,and in Sagittarius. In my experience , dictum on Rahu works fully but about Ketu I am doubtful.

Astrology] Second Lordship of Ketu Dear Revati, Yes there does seem to be some confusion there. Beginning from Scorpio, Aquarius is the 4th rasi. So that would mean the sage gives Aquarius to both Rahu and Ketu. That seems unlikely. The word used in the shloka is " Chatushtaya " which could be set of four as implied or 1,4,7,10 or four signs forward from Aquarius and four backwards from Scorpio as the shloka appears in the Chara dasha section of BPHS. Regards, Chandrashekhar. Revati wrote: Dear Mr. Goel ji, Dear All, BPHS in Ch. 47, Sl. 34/35 clearly describes Aquarius as own Rashi for Rahu, Scorpio for Ketu. Gemini is Rahu's Moolatrikona, Sagittarius for Ketu, Rahu is exalted in Taurus, Ketu in Scorpio. Parashara as well mentions another view: Virgo own Rashi of Rahu, Pisces that of Ketu (but it seems that the author of these lines prefer the first view). So, that is not the question. But, in Ch. 50, Sl. 42 there is a difficult question arising, about the 2nd Lordship of Ketu: 'Four Rashis from Kumbha and four Rashis from Vrischika belong to Rahu and Ketu, respectively. If Rahu and Ketu are in any one of the aforesaid Rashis, the Dasha will be productive of beneficial results.' - 4 Rashis from Aquarius is Taurus, 2nd Rashi of Rahu therefore - 4 Rashis from Scorpio is... Aquarius! Should Aquarius - own Rashi of Rahu! - really be 2nd Rashi of Ketu??? Best Wishes Revati Share files, take polls, and make new friends - all under one roof.
