The significance of Rahu and Ketu

The Rahu-Ketu axis in our birth charts gives us very important clues about our current life goals and desires vs our past life merits and issues to be dealt with. As per Vedic astrology, Rahu and Ketu have an orbital cycle of 18 years and are always 180 degrees from each other. They are always 7 houses apart – if Rahu is in the 1st house, Ketu is always in the 7th; Rahu in the 3rd always puts Ketu in the 9th. Their placement in the birth chart, the sign they occupy, and the nakshatra they inhabit all give us big clues about our life.

In Hindu astrology, Ketu represents karmic collections both good and bad, spirituality and supernatural influences. Ketu signifies the spiritual process of the refinement of materialization to the spirit and is considered both malefic and benefic – it causes sorrow and loss, yet at the same time turns the individual toward God, forcing a more spiritual outlook. Ketu is a karaka or indicator of intelligence, wisdom, non-attachment, fantasy, penetrating insight, and psychic abilities. Ketu is believed to bring prosperity to the devotee’s family, removes the effects of snakebite and illness arising out of poisons, and grants good health, wealth, and cattle to devotees.

Ketu is considered responsible for moksha, sannyasa, self-realization, gyana, a wavering nature, restlessness, the endocrine system, and slender physique. The people who come under the influence of Ketu can achieve great heights, most of them spiritual.

Rahu, being a karmic planet, shows the necessity and urge to work on a specific area of life that has been ignored in a past life. To balance the apparent dissatisfaction, one has to go the extra mile to provide a satisfactory settlement in the present lifetime.
