RAHU >> The Ascending Node of MOON.

RAHU >> The Ascending Node of MOON.

Here's a Post to familiarize you about the Planet Rahu and how it is related to our consciousness. After reading this you'll have a clear Picture of Why you are , what you are and Why you roll the way you roll in this life. ;) O:) :)

So here it is,

ASTRONOMICALLY, Rahu is the Ascending Node of the moon. This implies that It is the point in the Orbit of the Moon where it Goes Above the Elliptic Plane or the 'Plane of orbit of the earth & the Sun'. It is the Point where Moon( Our Mind/'Mann' in hindi) comes above and Beyond.





Now ASTROLOGICALLY. Here it is;

#RAHU is INSATIABLE & UNQUENCHABLE ; Does not understand Peace, Calmness, Satisfaction and Stability, Is UNSTABLE, Never Content, Never Settles & Breaks Barriers. It Represents DISSATISFACTION, Impulsiveness, Childish nature with instability and immature Actions and views, Wants to try everything, try new things, make faults and then learn from its experiences and not by pre-set standards or teachings of a Guru or society. It Represents DOUBT and false beliefs, Has SELF CREATED ETHICS and Logic (not universal ethics and principals like those of Jupiter and Saturn which when applied are for good of one and all simultaneously but self created ones that are of use or are good to self only and not everyone else), It represents MULTIPLICATION, AMPLIFICATION, MANIPULATION, MUTATION, ILLUSION, FALSE BUT FIRM BELIEF IN SOMETHING, PROMISCUITY, FETISHES, UNCONVENTIONAL AND UN-NATURAL DESIRES, WISHES & VIEWS, IT REPRESENTS EXPLOSIONS, Distractions, Blue colored SMOKE, EXTREMISM and the DESIRE for MORE at every stage; It wants more & more at every stage ; It Wants to Go Above and Beyond;  It was to come outside the box and see what is above and beyond; It wants to Break the Rules and Break boundaries and come out; It Wants to Go Outside the Box(Customs) by breaking Laws/Boundaries/ 'Rules' & Regulations etc; It is an Extremist (One extreme or the other extreme); It is Massive expansion or Explosion. It wants more and more; It wants Approval and Status; It wants Validation of it's views and its Existence; (Still does not get Content and Quenched after getting them); It represents Multiplication and Excess of Stuff; It represents a never ending desire to Grow , Multiply,  Achieve and Acquire at any cost and by any means. It also represents Darkness as it is outer side of the Lunar orbit were there is deep empty endless space to be explored. It can make you Adventurous and fearlessly leaping into the unknown or fearfully or the unknown and leaping out and above. Rahu also represents Illusions and false beliefs (but very firm false beliefs) and Virtual reality (Internet, video games etc).  
It believes the Something to be reality and its actions to be justified but Reality is something different and The real path that should be followed is different. It makes you follow a false and Wrong path based on the illusions and false and Extreme beliefs in Incorporates in you or follows. 

Rahu wants Validation and Status at any Cost or by any means and wants to be Above everything else. It wants what it wants at whatever it takes and weather the Aim is right or wrong and the method to achieve the aim is right or wrong it does not care. Rahu is a very Good Manipulator and can morph/change into anything to achieve it's Desire. It does not believe in or comply with or 'is able to see' Pre -set Morals/Standards/Rules/Conventions or Ethics. It Ridicules or Rejects them or is unable to understand and see them, Instead It makes it's own Conventions/rules/principals and ethics that work best in his own interest. It has illusions and misconceptions which may make one feel Good or Bad depending upon the Sign and House Placement.  

Rahu is Malleable, Morph-able or Mutable. It can change or morph or adapt to its best interest. It Imbibes the Characteristics of the Planet aspecting it and the Sign/Nakshatra it is Placed in. It takes some of the characteristics of the Sign it is placed in and also the Planet that aspects it. 

It can easily MUTATE and Morph very easily into something or someone that is useful for it's Existence & Validation and for the Accomplishment of it's Goals. 

Rahu is also very Dramatic, Expressive and Narcissistic. Rahu( Representing Massive Explosive expansion and Narcissism) as i wrote is very good Good in Morphing and Manipulating and Asserting it's existence and achieving the Reputation as well as Status it wants to achieve helps to create very Good ACTORS, POLITICIANS and STAGE PERFORMERS if it is Aspecting and or is aspected by a Well placed VENUS from a Beneficial and Helpful Sign and house and also Mercury( representing communication , reflexes, Genuineness and wittiness) and Sun (for Status, fame, authority and Government) are well placed in a Natives Chart. 

I Hope it explains a few characteristics and a gives a brief idea about it's characteristics and Qualities. Also There are things it believes are right and some it believes are wrong as per him based on weather they are in his interest or not. Rahu wanted the 'Nector of Immortality' and so he morphed into a "Deva" or "God" and Acted and behaved like them to mix into them and to get it. Now this story is just a symbolic, to show that what one believes is right and Justified (for himself specially) may not always be Right and Justified and Useful to all in General. God bless all!!!:) :) :) O:) (y) O:) :)
:) :) O:) (y) :) :) O:) :) :)

Now
how will it affect you?

Here's a list of how Rahu affects different Planets:
Then in POst number 2 we'll discuss the effects in different Houses.
And post 3 will be on Signs.
Note: IN all these below, we assume no other influence on the planet, especially 'Ketu' which we'll deal later. #Ketu's Conjunction with the planets below will totally Alter the Scenario.

Rahu + Sun (Aspect or Conjunction) : This Person's Soul is Never Satisfied. They will have an unquenchable desire always to be a Leader or a King by any means. This Person will be prone to Break laws of society. It Does not have Good Principals or Moral Values. It Damages Attributes like one's Soul's Purity, Dignity, Self Respect(internally), Status in Society, Principals, Moral Values or Maintaining some STANDARDS And PRINCIPALS and Family Values. It wants Validation in Status and Shows off or Manipulates to achieve that validation. Makes a Cunning Leader who wants more and more Power by any means and is never quenched or satisfied with it. Wants Dignity and Status in Society but internally does not posses those ideals or Dignity of a King. It's father may even leave him and go to Far off distant places and Not perform his duties as a Good guardian or Father or this person may never Inherit his Fatherly Family traditions and Culture. It's Soul is unquenchable, Never Content, Desirous and Outrageous. It is Manipulative,  Cunning and Ambitious to achieve a Status, Dignity and Authority by any means. Can become a very Highly reputed Politician or Leader.

to be continued...

2) Rahu Aspecting or Conjunct the Moon: /

Moon represent our 'Mann'/'Chitt'/ Mind/ Emotional State, Feelings, Reaction and sensitivity or response to Emotions and feelings. Out inner mind and Intentions. Represent unconditional Love and Care. Represents care and nurturing qualities and the Mother with all her motherly Qualities.
Now, Rahu Impacting MOON> IN one line: EXTREMES OF ALL EMOTIONS AND FEELINGS, Illusions/false beliefs regarding many emotions AND NEVER CONTENT WITH what is possessed until there is a beneficial influence of Jupiter .

The native will have a Mind which is Adventurous; Which has Sinister/weird/unconventional plans and Habits, Whose mind is into doing unlawful/unnatural activities breaking societal taboos and Traditions. There is both Exaggeration as well as an Excess and Never ending Desire related to the attributes of the Moon. Loves unconditionally to the extreme. If they are into a Sinister Activity they do it with all their heart. The Mind may Be thinking Wrongly under an illusion or false belief but still having a fir belief that they are right in their views and their perception is correct.  This illusion takes the native to have a wrong illusionary mindset and follow a wrong path which may appear Gratifying and Justified.
The Person is Emotionally more and more demanding. They are also very outrageous in loving and caring about people in their life. There is both a more then normal or Excessive (depending upon the closeness) GIVING of CARE and Love for to their close friends/partners/loved ones and also more then normal or excessive EXPECTATION of the same care, love and affection from their loved ones/friends/partners etc.
THEY both give and demand care and love in excess of regular people. :) THIS RAHU Moon conjunction can therefore be called of as an "EMOTIONAL MANGLIK DOSHA" or and "EMOTIONAL Amplification DOSHA" because both partners should have it to stabilize and neutralize the imbalance. Impact of JUPITER or a Well placed (house wise or Sign wise) Moon in D1 or D9 will obviously make Moon more Strong, Dignified, Able to view Reality, Caring, Soft hearted, Stable and Satisfied. Rahu Amplifies moons Attributes as we can see above. Also it will make the Mind Break boundaries, THINK & DESIRE BEYOND REGULAR CONVENTIONAL ideas and stuff respectively and be involved in Social taboos, UN-NATURAL tendencies and uncommon/unconventional Desires and FETISHES. For example, if they have an unnatural desire, They are gonna go fulfill it, no matter what. (unless no other benefic impact).
People Who desire to Go to the top of Mount Everest in a Red Ferrari with their Girl-friend to have an ice-cream and then apply a tent their to have some sinister/ unique/fetish time with their Partner are this type. lol just an example.

They have Sinister or unconventional desires and they go any extent to fulfill them. They may also easily become Drug addicts or Have unquenchable Obsessive Habbit of something for exapmple people who do drugs, or Drink alcohol Daily or watching Pornography or are into any other bad habbit they wish to perform daily or excessively to achieve some gratification from it every day but it is never ending desire and they never actually get Gratification.
Obviously this also creates a Manipulative, Cunning, DESIROUS and Lustful as well as Emotionally Outrageous , Caring and Demanding and unsatisfied Personality ( both in giving and expecting)

NOTE: The above is the influence of RAHU on MOON. The Moon definitely will have other influences and Qualities in a chart as well in addition to the above which will either Cancel out or enhance the above effects. :) :)

#REMEDY:  Need to Meditate and feel Content and Proud of what you have is Best. Feel Satisfied and on the top of the world Already to feel better ;) :):)

 Tip as an overall #remedy: Try to have these feelings > Excess of Everything is Bad( even romance, lust, money, Power, Speech, Knowledge, discipline or anything good thing you can imagine) , You have enough and more then Many. You are happy, Content, complete and in the Best Possible scenario.

A Representation of the SUN, VENUS and the MOON in #ASTROLOGY and how they make us feel

A Representation of the SUN, VENUS and the MOON in #ASTROLOGY and how they make us feel ;) (y)

#SUN refers to our Principals, Goals, Status, Ambitions, Directions, Authoritativeness and our Perception of Authority and Status in this World. It is our Drive to have these Qualities and Perform as a Leader, King or father to the Masses. It is more of a Leader Setting Standards and Protocols or Rules or Principals that Should be followed by his dependents and the 'other regular masses' as per him. The King commands the services to be provided to the masses. It wishes to Stay Reputed and Adamant and confident about it. It may take suggestions but will not take orders or advises. It will listen to suggestions but finally order as per his Final Opinion and viewpoint because he has the Power and he wishes to stay in commend and in power and control of things, he wishes to be above all , looking at masses from a high position with Authority, stability, confidence and Peace and He is comfortable that way. He likes Supervising the common , normal laymen or the masses.

#VENUS On the other Hand would be represented words like  ''Harmony', 'Romance'.
It represents 'Harmonizing/connecting different types Consciousnesses(Minds)' by connecting, sharing, Making relationships and bonding etc.
Venus refers to "Making Relationships" with others people/opposite sex/common masses by living amongst/with them and not by living Above them.

It likes bonding with them, making a relationship with them (Sorry for the repetition) and understanding them. It refers to "COMPROMISING, SHARING, Giving and taking(in return)" , Expecting in return the same love , compassion and feelings and pleasure it gives to the opposite sex for pleasure/happiness and Sexual Gratification.

Meeting/blending/harmonizing into one body/combination/relationship  with the opposite Sex/ with Opposite poles in our life. Venus is the Relationship inducing/urging Planet in a Horoscope analysis. Venus wants to come into the masses/opposite sex and make love with them, make relationships with them and it enjoys those feelings. It lives the luxuries, gives itself comforts, enjoys the services and comforts he/she is receiving from any source e.g the King. :)

VENUSIAN love is give and take, it has connectivity, It gives something and demands the same gratification and pleasure and satisfaction in return , So it helps making bonds and connectivity.

On the other hand #Moon's love and care is unconditional and for all without any expectations or demands. It Gratifies only by loving and caring, nurturing and supporting with selfless love and Joy. It is emotional and Moody. It is sensitive and reacts to others feelings and emotions. It needs emotional Support if it is weak but it is different from the Give and take Relationship in Venus. If strong  It has no demands in return. It only "Gives" and "Reacts to your feelings and actions" to make you feel comforted and Happy. It Always wants to give comfort, support and Care. It helps you feel Good without the need of anyone's external support from within and helps you to give others the same. Moon in short is Sensitive, reacting to feelings, caring and supporting. It is a connection on an emotional plane which always gives, always stays and always loves/cares/supports/nurtures unconditionally and feels good about it.

So does Venus wants to make you comforted, GRATIFIED and Happy but it has the same demand in return to have a Permanent Bond and Connection. :)

INTERESTINGLY,
1) Sun is the Innermost Planet. It represents the Inner Soul. It thinks about the 'SELF' While VENUS thinks about 'OTHER' /'opposite sex' /Their Partner or Relation. SUN thinks about the "SELF" while Venus thinks about the 'CONNECTION' (with the opposite) .
&
2)SUN represents "My Opinions", "My Goals" and My Desires while VENUS represents My Pleasures, My Gratification & My Desires too(related to relationships and luxuries) &
SUN Commands Loyalty and Standards and also VENUS wants Commitment in return in Relationships. Venus wants one to one bond, a Give and take connection of love, compassion and carnal bonding( unlike emotional bonding of moon).

SO we can see here that in some qualities (e.g 1) SUN and VENUS are against each other acting as enemies but at the SAME time their are some other qualities( e.g 2) where they COMPLEMENT & Support each others elements and forces acting as FRIENDS(as seen in point number 2 above).
Hence Overall they are neutral. ;) :) (y)
NOW, BEST CONNECTIONS need Privacy, depth, truth, and detachment from all others except your Partner. Where do you get the BEST Privacy and Depth and isolation. Yes, Right in the Sign of Pisces and the 12th house. No wonder VENUS Feels EXALTED here. ;) :) (y)

So,

Here these Planets actually represent basic instinctual instincts of our Human mind and are actually different elements of our Perception, consciousness and Mental and Physical phenomena.

So here's another Crux. What do you think Should Sun and Venus behave like from the Perspective of friends or Enemies? How would a conjunction or Aspect between them work?

Well the Answer lies in two things.
A) Their Basic tenets/Characteristics and Driving Directions determining "Naisargik Maitri" as is said. Now i explain it on the basis of elements of Consciousness while it can be explained mathematically too which i will do later on. ;) :) (y)
Which obviously i think makes them a little unhappy with each other, because Sun wants to go for its Ambition and Status Alone and stay above and Supervise things on the other hand Venus wants a one to one Harmonious,  loving and Give and take connection. Preventing sun to run after its Dream of Power and Authority. So making them uncomfortable with each other. So depending upon the "SHAD Bala" and the Sign placement one Characteristic (Solar or venusian) will predominate over the other.

B) Depending upon what is their relative position and Sign placement in a Horoscope Chart.
This matters because, as Sun with its characteristics rules seperate areas of life/Houses in a chart and also has influence of different #Zodiac Signs and #Nakshatras and so does VENUS, this will alter their behavior and Directions a little and consequentially our Drive, Direction and Approach to different Scenarios and Life during different time periods of life. This will consequentially lead to a more harmonious and Similar directional drive of both SUN and VENUS making them friends ("Tatkalik Maitri") temporarily or permanently in a Natives Birth Chart or may even make them worse enemies depending upon their position as they represent our motives, basic instincts and elements/characteristics of our Human Mind and our Consciousness and Approach to Life and other Events.

So friends this was my small topic on how Venus and Sun 'Roll' and how they make us feel or what aspect of our personality or mind is represented by them. Hope you liked reading it and i hope it increased your depth and perception of the Qualities, these planets represent and how to use these to analyse a Chart with Depth.

Thank you again! Have a nice Day! :) (y) O:) :) :)

WHAT ARE "RAHU" & "KETU" & WHERE IN THE SKY ARE THE PLANETSNAMED "RAHU" & "KETU" SITUATED??

 What are "RAHU" & "KETU" & Where in the Sky are the 'Planets' named "Rahu" & "Ketu" SITUATED??

Okay
This Question has been in my Mind for Long,,There's the SUN, The Moon, The Epitome of Wisdom Jupiter, The Master of the Occult Venus, The Brave & Bold Mars, The Justice Loving Saturn & The Prajapati Uranus, The Neptune, The Pluto (All Qualities or Adjectives assigned to Planets above are as per Vedic Astrology) and all these Planets in the Solar System and are Shown in Horoscopes & Astrological Charts,, But Where are the Mystical or also Called Shadow Planets named 'Rahu' & 'Ketu' in the Solar System or the Cosmos. So here's what i found out.. Hope You all like it. :)
Okay,
So The Earth Revolves around the Sun And the Moon Revolves around the Earth in an Elliptical Orbit. We all Know that!! O:)
But Everything we see is Defined from the Point of Observation. How Something appears/looks to us or how something Behaves depends upon from where are we looking at it. Not only in Astronomy but also in our life in general how something appears to us depends a lot upon the Position/Perspective of the Observer. Anyways Observing from any point on earth it would appear as if both the Sun & Moon are Orbiting the earth in a Plane Horizontal Orbit.
BUT, The Orbit of the earth around the Sun(The Elliptic) and the Orbit of the Moon around the Earth (Lunar Orbit) are not in the Same horizontal Plane. These Orbits are inclined to each other making an Angle of Around 5 degree 9 minutes with each other. This Particular Arrangement of the 2 'Orbits' makes them have 2 Points of Intersection with each other as seen in the Figures Below.
These 2 Points of Intersection of the 'Elliptic' and the 'Lunar Orbit' are Assigned the Designation of Lord 'Rahu' & Lord 'Ketu' in Vedic Astrology.
Now, The Point of Intersection from where the Moon would appear to be Going above the Plane of the Elliptic after crossing it is called the 'North Node' or the Ascending Node and Assigned the Point for Planet/Lord "Rahu" in the Cosmos and the 2nd Point of Intersection of the Orbits where the Moon will Run below the elliptic after crossing has been assigned the Position of the 'Southern Node' or Lord "Ketu".

WHY DO THEY ALWAYS MOVE RETROGRADE??

Now the Sun And Moon Always Move(as seen from earth) in an Antegrade Direction (Clockwise) due to the Mutual Relative Positions of the earth & the Moon & the Sun. THEY WILL ALWAYS MOVE ANTE-GRADE. ;) (y) Hence these Points of Intersection will ALWAYS appear to move in an Anti-Clockwise (Retrograde) direction as seen from earth. Hence "Rahu" & "Ketu" ALWAYS move RETROGRADE.

Now When we Say Rahu & Ketu are in a Particular "Nakshatra" or "Zodiac Sign" in someone's Horoscope it simply means the if we look at these points of intersection from any point on earth at any particular time , That Particular 'Nakshatra' or "Zodiac Sign" would appear in the Background/Behind these Points as seen from earth. i.e If we Draw a Straight line (Vector) from the Point of Observation(Particular Space-time co-ordinate on earth/Place & Time of Birth of an Individual) from Earth to "Rahu"/"Ketu" and Extend that Vector Beyond these Points of Intersection,, It Will Reach a Particular Zodiac Sign or Nakshtra in the Background of "Rahu"/"Ketu" And Hence we define or Give them a Particular Sign Or Nakshtra Placement in A Horoscope Chart as is the case with all other planets. This is How we See in Which Sign a Planet is from a "Point of Observation on Planet Earth"  :)
Also These Points of Intersection/Nodes/Rahu & Ketu 'move' approximately 3 minutes and 11 seconds relative to the Earth (Earth Considered at rest) Every day/24 hours, making a complete circle of the 12 Zodiacs( 360 degrees) with respect to/Around  the Planet earth in around 18.6 Years, remaining almost 1.25 Years in a Particular Zodiac Sign. This arrangement is also the Reason Why they both have Exactly the same Degrees and In Exactly the Opposite 'Signs' in the Zodiac always. :)


INTERESTINGLY, The Relative Positions of the Orbits of the Sun and the Moon are the Reason why  'Rahu' & 'Ketu'  EXIST.
Sun and Moon (Father & Mother in Astrology) are the Reason why Rahu & Ketu Exist ( Not in Any Astronomical Text, these are just my Views).
Sun and Moon are Responsible for the Very Existence of "Rahu" & "Ketu"(actually in mythology too, Rahu sat in between Sun and Moon to get the Nector of IMMORTALITY from 'Mohini' , and was seen by Sun(or moon, not sure right now) who then Complained to Lord Vishnu about him. Lord Vishnu Cut of His Head, Creating/Bringing into Existence the two PLanets, SO mythologicallly also tHEY are the Reason i guess, Anyways ).
 Thus, as Long as the Sun & Moon will Exist , Rahu & Ketu will also Exist as "Immortals" along with them.

SOLAR & LUNAR ECLIPSE & The Position of 'Rahu' & 'Ketu' in the Solar System Plate!

ALSO, When Moon is at the Points labelled as "Rahu" or "Ketu" there will be a Solar Eclipse because it will come between the earth and the Sun. Similarly when the Moon is at the Points labelled 'Rahu' and 'Ketu' there's a Lunar Eclipse if Earth came In between the Sun and the Moon. :) :)

INTERESTING CORRELATION WITH ASTROLOGY!!

Now, I Don't Know if there are actually any Physical Bodies like Asteroids or Any Rocks or Anything 'Physical' Revolving the Earth at these Points of Intersection but i Guess there is NOTHING PHYSICAL at these Points Still These Points of Intersection are known to Represent Actual Physical Bodies or Planets named "Rahu" & "Ketu" and Above that are Assigned So Many Unique Qualities and Characteristics as other Planets in Astrology & much more. Some Qualities are Exceptionally unique to these two Only these two in Vedic Astrology (which are beyond the scope of my knowledge at present) that help in making Such Accurate Horoscope Predictions & Doing  Analysis of Horoscopes & Wordly Events which would be almost impossible without using them or their Characteristics.

So there are No Actual Planets at these 'Sites' BUT Our Sages Chose these 2  Arbitary Points and Assigned them So Many 'Qualities' and 'Properties' and much more that helps make Calculations & Predictions.

So are the Stories Related to Them.
'Rahu', though Ineligible (No Planet there(S), Not a 'Deva'(M)) became eligible ( Given the Status of a Planet(A/S)/Got the Nector of Immortality(M)) & is Worshiped Like a 'Devata'/God & and 'Assigned Qualities & Characteristics Like other Planets' where as actually there is No Planet there. This is How it is Seen in Astrology, Someone Who Givens You Status, Position, And other Things that You are Not Legible to get as per Honest and Ethical Rules of the Society. It Breaks the Rules of Society/Does Manipulations to Get what it Wants, to become Legible for something it is not & Give You fruitful results. Getting Money through illegit means, Getting a Position for which you may or May not be eligible, there's a lot more but that beyond the Present scope of my Knowledge of Astrology and This Topic Too. :p :)

This Makes me think how we can choose Any Number of Arbitrary Points in the Cosmos which are Observable from earth & which make a Periodic Motion with respect to our Planet Earth and Assign them Qualities, Characteristics, Designations & Much More to do Calculation , make Predictions, deduce inferences,& Do More Accurate Horoscope, Event Sequence & other Eternity Predictions from them. Assign them Qualities & More Intensively And Accurately Predict Everything,, Every Action, Reaction, Causality, Consequence, Sequence & Event in this Universe & Eternity.

These all,
And this 12 Block Chart is all but a Clock,, A "Mathematical Matrix" ,, A Mathematical Set of Equations we are Looking at with the "EYE" of an Astrologer, With a "Human EYE" ,
As per me it is a "Mathematical Block/Set of Blocks, Equations Which "RUN"//"EXECUTE" with this Seem-able Sequence or Flow of "Time" towards what seems to us as and is Called the 'future'. THIS IS ALL SUPER AMAZING.. :)
I Will Share more on that..


These Planets including the 2 Arbitary Points which are Given And Assigned the Qualities a, Characteristics of Planets act as Clocks or Markers in Motion. A Still Untapped Mathematical Tool which can be Tapped to unimaginable depths. Rahu and Ketu are the Best Support/Example in my Theory how any number of Points can be Chosen, I Don't know 'how' Yet, But I Hope One Day..I Do,, :)

As i like to say,

You Just need to be Genius Enough to
