The good and bad of Lord Rahu's transit in Sagittarius and Lord Ketu’s transit in Gemini on 17 November 2009.
Lord Rahuis transit today into Sagittarius and at the same time Lord Ketu will transit in Gemini. Rahu and Ketu are one of the major plates who give major effect to our life, just as Saturn and Jupiter. Like the previous article they are mysterious and obsassive Shadow planets. So let us see what are the Good and Bad of this transit.
The planet 'Rahu' has always been misunderstood by people who know very little about the basics of astrology. At times, Rahu delivers very good effects but there are times when the effects of a Rahu transit can be devastating. The effects depend on various other factors as well. Here we shall see how Rahu transit in Sagittarius will affect the Sagittarius, the society, and India.
A few facts about Rahu:
• Rahu is a shadowy planet and it always moves in a retrograde manner. It revolves around the Sun at a rate of 3 degree, 10 minutes and 48 seconds a day.
• Rahu completes it's transit in a Rashi in 1 year 6 month and 18 days. Thus, it completes transiting through the 12 Rashis or 27 constellations in 18 years 7 months and 18 days.
• The transition of Rahu in a Nakshatra or birth star takes 8 month and 19 days and it completes one phase of a Nakshatra in 2 months and 3 days.
Debilitated Rahu is transiting into Sagittarius at 12:09 pm on 17th November, 2009. It will stay in the same Rashi till 5th June, 2011. Rahu's transit into Sagittarius is also known as 'Sagittarius in Navmansh'.
Effects of Rahu's transition in Sagittarius on the Archer, society and India.
• If Rahu is placed in the 3rd, 6th, 10th or 11th Zodiac sign from Sagittarius, the placement is favourable. Rahu's transit into Sagittarius will be beneficial to those whose Zodiac sign is Cancer, Libra, Aquarius or Pisces. The apt placement promises success, promotion and honour in profession. It is probably the appropriate time to appear for an interview or take up a new job.
• If Rahu is placed in the 4th, 8th or 12th Zodiac sign from Sagittarius, you may go through difficulties in this period. The Zodiac signs that will face adversities are Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. The myriad problems may include major financial loss, diagnosis of a critical illness, cardiac disease, a fatal accident and so on.
• The Zodiac sign of Independent India is Taurus and the Birth star or Nakshatra is 'Rohini'. According to the Nakshatra, Rahu's transit in Sagittarius will benefit India and it will keep up the pace of economic development. India will earn laurels in diplomatic and sporting events. According to India's Zodiac sign, Rahu will transit in Sagittarius, which is in the 8th place from Taurus. It will result in an increase in terrorist activities in the North-East or a disastrous natural calamity in the North-Eastern states.
• The most critical time in this transit will be on 17th November, 2009, from noon to 6 pm. During this period, Rahu will be the Lord of its Upnakshatra (sub-constellation). This is likely to cause one or more major terror attacks or some natural calamity in India or somewhere in the world.
The transit of Rahu in Sagittarius signifies mixed effects on individuals as well as India. It is very essential to be fully equipped to tackle any terror attack or natural calamity that are likely to take place on 17th November, 2009, between noon and 6 pm.
Last but not least, one thing always remember that if you are chanting the name of Lord Hari Krishna, Rahu and Ketu can not harm to our material and spiritual life

Mysterious Rahu and Ketu in transit and their effects
Rahu and Ketu, the two nodes of the Moon, take approximately 18 months to transit through a sign. Unlike other planets, Rahu and Ketu are just points (nodes) in space and have no mass. But they are considered to be more powerful than most other heavenly bodies. They always travel in the reverse direction - that is the retrogression.
Here, we shall examine the Rahu transit with respect to individual Rashis. Rahu and Ketu are next in importance only to Jupiter and Saturn. They are unseen, mysterious points in space causing the eclipses. Technically speaking, they are not planets but their influence is so significant that they have been given the status of planets. Rahu, Ketu, Jupiter, and Saturn are the slowest moving planets and thus call for maximum attention when they are in transit through any Rashi.
The effect of no planet's transit can be termed as fully malefic or fully benefic. It depends on how we respond to favourable and unfavourable situations. Rahu has a positive side, offering great boons in communications, new inventions, technology, etc. Rahu is extroverted, affirming, and ambitious, while Ketu is introverted, negating and detached.
The influence of the transit on an individual
Ketu transits are generally more difficult to tackle. Ketu deals with your karma. This will be the time when you will have to pay back your karmic debts. During its transits, Rahu will give you a lot and even promote you. One has to be discreet when it comes to the nodes. One needs to keep in mind that they deal with one's karma. Well, they can really surprise you with what they bring forth.
The movement of Rahu and Ketu through the Zodiac signs has been extensively observed by those with keen interest in astrology. Rahu, the planet of materialism, gives material gains in particular areas. It gives exceedingly good results in 'Kendras' & 'Trikonas'. An apt placement of Rahu brings happiness. If well aspected, along with happiness, it also signifies acquisition of wealth and a powerful social position. But an inappropriate placement may bring anxieties and a condition wherein you really cannot enjoy material gains. The adverse effects may include loss of position, legal hassles and misfortune. Also, it urges one to turn to the almighty for mental peace. Ketu on the other hand, will deprive a person of the benefits of the House in which it is transiting and force him to think at a higher level. It can also result in an urge for introspection.
The specific results heavily depend on the basic strength of your natal chart and also on the running 'mahadasha' of an individual. A strong natal chart is a blessing from the heavens as it minimises all negativity. Also, there are seven other planets in Vedic astrology and their placement and transit too needs to be taken into account for an accurate prediction.

Lord Sun (Surya) transit into Scorpio sign on 16 Nov 09
Lord Sun is entering into Scorpio sign from 11:12 of 16 Nov 09 and will stay upto 01:53 of 16 Dec 09.Lord Sun is strong in Scorpio sign as it is Mars’s house and Mars is friend with Lord Sun.
The sun provides good results if placed in 1 to 5, 8,9,11 and 12 houses in your Kundlee. The 6,7 and 10th in your ascendant Kundlee as these are bad houses for the Lord Sun.
If, sun is placed over the 6th or 8th house in debilitated position or it is aspected or conjoined by natural malefic and enemy plants, it provide to native, arrogant, over ambition, proud, irritable, face public opposition, difference, poor eyesight, heart diseases, bone weakness and native may also suffer due to poor blood circulation.
Wish you a very best luck and

Lord Ketu: the Mystery of Past Lives
It is major criticle time in the Kundlee world as Lord Rahu and Ketu are trasiting. I have found very useful, thoughtful and scientifical article. The most amazing truth is the writer of this article is not Indian or Indian oriented, he is white, but the true lover of Vedic astrology. Mr Ron Berger, the astrologer has very basic and simple but very thoughtful Vedic Astrology website http://www.livingskillfully.com/
I hope you will like this article and will enjoy thoroughly. If you like, please do not forget to send thanks to the great author of this great article.
Past Lives, or Rebirth as it is often referred to, is not a theory in Hindu culture; it is a fact. Generally we have amnesia about out past lives, but with the help of Vedic Astrology we can get some clues about where we came from, and how that past is influencing our present circumstances.
One of the best techniques for examining the past life is through the analysis of the placement of Ketu in the natal astrology chart. Ketu is the South Node of the Moon, one of two eclipse points: crossover points of the path of the Moon with that of the Sun, as seen from the Earth. Ketu is known as the 'inlet point' for past life karmas. Here the word karma is referring to past life completed actions. The prior activity of the soul comes through in this lifetime as unconscious behaviour patterns, naturally familiar due to the prior experiences. The past life actions have created a 'groove' in the soul's memory. Thus, in this life, we are prone to fall back into that groove.
Opposite Ketu is Rahu, the North Node, which is considered to represent the karmas (actions) that have to be encountered in this lifetime for the soul's continued education. The relative strength of Ketu vs. Rahu has to be determined to tell whether the person tends to 'hang out' in the old, familiar, past life behaviours, or else embraces the new lessons shown by the Rahu position. Additionally, at different times in one's life one or the other of the Nodes will be emphasized, most notably during the Dashas (the planetary periods) connected with that node, but also through activation from other planets when they transit over the natal nodal positions. The activation of Ketu brings up unresolved issues from the past. The activation of Rahu makes us confront dilemmas related to what we are becoming in this life's incarnation.
If we wish to take a more active part in our soul's evolution, and move forward in this life, it would be good to understand more about our past life. We can become aware of where we are repeating the past; where we fall back into the old groove. The Houses of the chart correspond to specific different areas of human activity. Thus, the house position of Ketu in your Vedic Astrology chart will tell you something of what activities in the former life were a dominant concern.
For instance, if Ketu is placed in the 3rd house of everyday survival, then running around doing errands, keeping busy with the affairs of close relatives and neighbours, and promoting oneself to others with gossip, etc., are familiar activities that one tends to naturally fall into. In this case, Rahu's placement would indicate that the lessons of the opposite 9th house: the pursuit of higher knowledge, practice of religion, relationship with father and guru, are areas that need development. If the reverse is true, where Ketu is in the 9th house, then one has a tendency to study scripture, hang out in an 'ivory tower', and/ or stick to a religion or philosophy inherited from the past life. Rahu's corresponding position shows the 3rd house with its practical everyday requirements, cooperation with others, and development of mundane skills to be what one has to focus on this time.
The sign that Ketu occupies gives us clues about the qualities of the person we were in the former birth that become natural inclinations in this lifetime. These qualities are particularly obvious while we are young: the past life is still fresh in the soul's memory. The opposite sign position of Rahu shows what qualities and attitudes the soul seeks to learn to express in this birth. If Ketu is in Sagittarius, then you come in with a strong belief that your own way is best, that your own freedom to act comes first, and so feel threatened by anything that comes from another's reality. What you need to learn is to become more 'Gemini-like': to be interested in gathering more data, cultivate an interest in other people's truths, and to enjoy the exchange of ideas. Another example: if you are born with Ketu in Virgo, the past life was given over to the examination of details, with a need for exactness, getting everything right, and an attachment to order and routine. This lifetime you need to become more Piscean: be aware of the universal consciousness, surrender to the Higher Power, and trust what can't be measured or controlled.
A more detailed analysis of the relative strength of Ketu vs. Rahu is necessary to determine which house and sign position tends to predominate in one's life, and what potential issues will arise from the imbalance. But by simply knowing our own chart's nodal locations we can become more aware of unconscious behaviour patterns inherited from the past birth and thus see more clearly what we have to overcome to continue on our path.

Lord Rahu: the Obsession of the Soul
It is major criticle time in the Kundlee world as Lord Rahu and Ketu are trasiting. I have found very useful, thoughtful and scientifical article. The most amazing truth is the writer of this article is not Indian or Indian oriented, he is white, but the true lover of Vedic astrology.

Integral to the Vedic cosmological viewpoint is the premise that the cycle of births and deaths is part of the soul’s education. All of the planetary positions in the birth chart speak to the karmas present in this lifetime, but the ‘Rahu-Ketu axis’, as it is called, has a special relationship with the lessons to be learned. Rahu and Ketu are the cross-over points (called ‘Nodes’) of the path of the Moon and path of the Sun as seen from Earth. Although they are only calculated points in the Heavens, in Vedic Astrology the nodes are given a status and importance nearly equal to the solid planets. They are called Chhayagraha, shadow planets, being seen only during eclipses, when they create a shadow over the Sun or Moon. Similarly, they are like shadows in our lives, causing mysterious problems. An understanding of how the nodes function in the birth chart helps to clear up a lot of confusion about some of the built-in reactions to life’s circumstances.
The soul’s lessons are part of a continuum arising from the prior birth. The prior birth connection is shown by the position of Ketu in the chart: the ‘inlet point’ for past life karma. An analysis of the natal position of Ketu gives clues to the unconscious behaviour patterns in this life stemming from familiar activities of the past life (see the author’s article “Ketu: The Mystery of Past Lives”. Always directly opposite to Ketu in the chart, Rahu represents lessons the soul has to confront in its present life in order to continue developing. The oppositional placement of the nodes suggests that the tendency to fall back into habitual past life behaviours, as signified by Ketu, needs to be overcome in order to complete this life’s assignment. The automatic repetition of the past life patterns thus becomes an obstruction to our progress in this lifetime.
The soul within each of us is determined to evolve; we can term it an ‘Obsession.’ This compelling obligation to experience countless lifetimes partly explains how Rahu functions in the birth chart.’ Our individuated human consciousness is generally not aware of the ‘grand plan’ encompassing our many lifetimes, thus we often experience the current life’s lesson as confusing. From a cosmic viewpoint, it may be necessary to experience a lifetime as a garbage picker; a life that from our human perspective would be undesirable. And yet, for reasons we don’t understand, this is just as much a part of God’s plan as is the socialite’s lifetime of parties and jet plane travel. Rahu’s placement in the birth chart indicates what lessons need to be undertaken in order to ‘balance out’ the actions of the prior life.
The story of Rahu in Vedic mythology tells of the obsession that Rahu, one of the demons, had for becoming immortal. As the story goes, while attending a party of the Gods, Rahu managed to get his hands on the bowl containing the Nectar of Immortality and succeeded in getting a drop of it down his throat before being caught in the act and suffering the punishment of being cut in half by a discus thrown by Vishnu. Rahu achieved success, but not without penalty. Likewise in our own lives, the placement of this shadow planet called Rahu in our Vedic birth chart indicates an obsession with a certain type of ‘nectar’: the desire and potential for the enjoyment of success, but at what cost? The obsession, and potential suffering, that we each go through to achieve success is part of the illusion that is necessary for the encapsulated soul to take its Earthly lessons seriously. Thus Rahu symbolizes Maya, the Infinite disguised as material forms, as well as the ambition to have power within the world of forms. Yet it is all an illusion: Rahu promising success while it simultaneously obscures the true, eternal nature of the soul in order to make the lesson believable.
Your particular version of the Earthly obsession-lesson is partly shown by Rahu’s placement in your birth chart. For a person born with Rahu in the 6th house, the obsession is with ‘The Job’ and may require that they work 70 hours a week. In the 7th house Rahu manifests as obsession with Partnership, giving experiences in an area that has a potential for much heartbreak until the lesson is learned. Rahu in the 8th house seeks success through enjoyment of the partner’s, i.e. unearned, wealth. In the 9th house Rahu manifests as an obsession with Belief, or Religion. In the 10th house of Career one gets obsessed with professional goals.
But wherever Rahu is in your chart, the promised fulfillment, like everything gained in the ‘playground of forms’, is flawed: it is ultimately unsatisfying. Like the nodes themselves, the success turns out to be a shadow: essentially empty. Our life will come to an end; our human mind is confounded by the approaching void. Thus Rahu brings us to the realization of the true nature of the Earthly Voyage. All of the drive, ambition, craving, was really the soul’s obsession to learn and grow through participating in the drama of human existence.

The soul within each of us is determined to evolve; we can term it an ‘Obsession.’ This compelling obligation to experience countless lifetimes partly explains how Rahu functions in the birth chart.’ Our individuated human consciousness is generally not aware of the ‘grand plan’ encompassing our many lifetimes, thus we often experience the current life’s lesson as confusing. From a cosmic viewpoint, it may be necessary to experience a lifetime as a garbage picker; a life that from our human perspective would be undesirable. And yet, for reasons we don’t understand, this is just as much a part of God’s plan as is the socialite’s lifetime of parties and jet plane travel. Rahu’s placement in the birth chart indicates what lessons need to be undertaken in order to ‘balance out’ the actions of the prior life.
The story of Rahu in Vedic mythology tells of the obsession that Rahu, one of the demons, had for becoming immortal. As the story goes, while attending a party of the Gods, Rahu managed to get his hands on the bowl containing the Nectar of Immortality and succeeded in getting a drop of it down his throat before being caught in the act and suffering the punishment of being cut in half by a discus thrown by Vishnu. Rahu achieved success, but not without penalty. Likewise in our own lives, the placement of this shadow planet called Rahu in our Vedic birth chart indicates an obsession with a certain type of ‘nectar’: the desire and potential for the enjoyment of success, but at what cost? The obsession, and potential suffering, that we each go through to achieve success is part of the illusion that is necessary for the encapsulated soul to take its Earthly lessons seriously. Thus Rahu symbolizes Maya, the Infinite disguised as material forms, as well as the ambition to have power within the world of forms. Yet it is all an illusion: Rahu promising success while it simultaneously obscures the true, eternal nature of the soul in order to make the lesson believable.
Your particular version of the Earthly obsession-lesson is partly shown by Rahu’s placement in your birth chart. For a person born with Rahu in the 6th house, the obsession is with ‘The Job’ and may require that they work 70 hours a week. In the 7th house Rahu manifests as obsession with Partnership, giving experiences in an area that has a potential for much heartbreak until the lesson is learned. Rahu in the 8th house seeks success through enjoyment of the partner’s, i.e. unearned, wealth. In the 9th house Rahu manifests as an obsession with Belief, or Religion. In the 10th house of Career one gets obsessed with professional goals.
But wherever Rahu is in your chart, the promised fulfillment, like everything gained in the ‘playground of forms’, is flawed: it is ultimately unsatisfying. Like the nodes themselves, the success turns out to be a shadow: essentially empty. Our life will come to an end; our human mind is confounded by the approaching void. Thus Rahu brings us to the realization of the true nature of the Earthly Voyage. All of the drive, ambition, craving, was really the soul’s obsession to learn and grow through participating in the drama of human existence.
