Rahu and Ketu - Auspicious and Inauspicious Analysis for Twelve Ascendants
In astrology, Rahu and Ketu are known as Shadow Planets (Chaya Grahas). They do not own any zodiac signs. They behave like the lord of the sign they occupy or the planet they are conjunct with. Rahu represents desire and the future, while Ketu represents detachment and the past.
In this lesson, we examine which Ascendants these shadow planets favor and the results of their major conjunctions.
1. Functional Nature for Different Lagnas
Rahu and Ketu provide different results based on the planetary friendships of the Lagna lord.
Taurus, Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Capricorn, and Aquarius Ascendants. (Signs ruled by friends Mercury, Venus, and Saturn).
Aries, Cancer, Leo, Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Pisces Ascendants. (Signs ruled by friends Mars, Sun, Moon, and Jupiter).
2. Major Planetary Conjunctions (Yogas)
When Rahu or Ketu joins other planets, they create specific effects:
Jupiter + Ketu. This is the yoga for wisdom, intuition, and spiritual heights. Good for astrologers and researchers.
Jupiter + Rahu. Makes a person act against traditions. Can provide immense wealth but affects reputation or character.
Sun/Moon + Rahu/Ketu. Causes lack of self-confidence (Sun) or mental anxiety (Moon). Hinders professional or mental stability.
Mars + Rahu. Provides extreme energy and aggression. Without control, it leads to accidents. Good for police and military.
