The Hindu astrology has given great importance to the two nodes of moon (Rahu / Ketu), physically non-existent, yet regarded and treated as full-fledged planets.
Rahu/Ketu represents the major given traits, understanding your life as a part of a continued thread. The names attached to these planets are somewhat striking. A monster called Serpent (Dragon) with little variation is used to depict the general influence of these two.
Rahu and Ketu act as a connecting point between the unknown past (karma) and the known present. In other words, these two planets bridge the gap between the previous form of soul and the present soul. The Planets ruling the signs of Rahu and Ketu have the Karmik control. While Ketu is the unknown portion of Karma – the planet ruling the sign of Karma is called the incoming or past life, Rahu controls the Karma distribution in this life. These two planets have strong implication depending on where they are in the chart and the aspects they make with other planets.
A very important factor which would be explained in the charts is that if the depositor of these two planets are in conjunction, no matter what the horoscope is in terms of other Rajyogas, one will always see the person will rising in life and making his destiny. His rise could be in a positive or negative way, ending in peculiar circumstances depending on the affliction. This combination has been seen in the case of former PM of Pakistan, Mrs. Bhutto, Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Mujib-ur-Rehman etc., to name a few.
Yogas combination made by Ketu will make a person great, but will destroy him. Combinations made by Rahu will make the native enjoy powers lifelong, till death. These two planets are extremely important in terms of where they are placed and the planets which come and energies them. It can be seen that a debilitated Mars having Rahu ahead of it with no other planet in between Moon 12th to Mars and if this horoscope is of a lady, it can be predicted that she will be deceived by a person which will have a great impact on her destiny. Many such examples and how these two planets make and unmake destiny are explained – need to be treated with great caution and care.
