Rahu - Ketu : Mysterious Planets of Vedic Astrology
Rahu Ketu has been given the status of planets in Hindu Astrology. There are also legends associated
with Rahu Ketu in Hindu mythology. It is said that Rahu Ketu was a single demon who had
deceitfully quaffed off some nectar churned out of ocean during Samudra Manthan in order to becoming
immortal. Luminaries Sun and Moon having noticed the same had reported the matter to Lord Vishnu
who immediately beheaded the Demon with His Sudarshan Chakra to save the Universe from the
negative grip of the Demon. Thereafter, the head portion of the demon becomes Rahu and the portion ofthe body of the demon beneath head becomes Ketu. However, they prayed before the Almighty God to
give them a place in the galaxy of planets, which was granted by the Almighty God. Since then they are
known as two separate entities in the planetary world.
The role of Rahu Ketu is very important in Hindu predictive astrology. But, they are very mysterious,
very hard to decode their nature and give both negative and positive result. Rahu by nature is deceitful
and uncertain whereas Ketu is masked. Ketu is the significator (Karaka) of undiagnosed diseases. Since it
is very difficult to read their nature, which is full of uncertainties and mysteries, what to speak about Kala
Sharpa Yoga said to be generated by Rahu & Ketu. I have seen persons having so called Kala Sharpa
Yoga have risen to dizzy heights in their life during Rahu/Ketu period (Dasha). As such, I would not
discuss anything about Kala Sharpa Yoga which I feel a non-existence one. The transit, placement and
aspects received by Rahu Ketu in a horoscope are the important areas in order to delineate the probable
result to be given by Rahu Ketu especially, during their periods and sub-periods. Rahu Ketu always
remain diagonally opposite to each other with exactly the same degrees in a natal or transit horoscope.
As regards Natal Horoscope, the following conditions of Rahu Ketu are the vital points to be examined.
1. Their houses of placement from Lagna (Kendra, Trikone or Trika houses).
2. The overall disposition of the lords of the houses occupied by Rahu & Ketu (benefic, malefic,
etc.).
3. The constellations occupied by them at birth and overall disposition of the constellation lords inthe horoscope.
4. Their Navamsha position.
5. Their mutual relationship with other planets in the natal horoscope. It is especially important
during Rahu/Ketu periods/sub-periods.
6. Whether they are participating in any yoga (planetary combination) formed by other lords. Their
participation in any auspicious yoga in an auspicious house with reference to Lagna invariably
give favourable result par excellence in respect of the areas covered by such yoga especially,
during their individual periods/sub-periods.
The transit of Rahu Ketu in any house of a natal horoscope or over any lord occupying such house
mostly trigger the negative result, except in the case when such houses/lords are protected by transitJupiter through his simultaneous transit in such house or through His Divinely benign aspect. The table
below shows the tentative transit result by Rahu Ketu with reference to Lagna.
Transit of Rahu & Ketu
1. Transit Rahu on any natal lord produce negative results.2. Transit Ketu in opposite of Rahu give sudden changes to the significations represented by these
natal lords, which may very rarely be positive.
