Illusive Effect ofNodes Shadow of

MoonByBabubhai Yodh B.D. Vaghela, India.Readership: Advanced

[ ublisherThis is the rarest of rare articles and thoughlooks simple initially but the author has subtly given ahuge portion of his experience which goes contradictory

against the dispositor theory of planets. All arerequested to test these techniques which we arepersonally aware of both authors having worked hard onfor many decades.]

f a path of journey is straight and clearwithout any obstruction, our journeycan be simple and easy without any

tension. But whenever our journey passesthrough a dark portion, it becomes very

difficult and obstructive to our journeywhile passing through this dark portion. Webecome very perturbed and disturbed.Similarly whenever North Node and SouthNode come in the way of planets which arerevolving around the Sun, then path ofthese planets becomes difficult and they cannot show their effect clearly according totheir natural characteristic. The sign whichare occupied by Nodes also create illusive

result. In astrology, therefore, Nodes havetremendous influence on the planets andsigns and give unimaginable results.Interpretation of this influence is verydifficult.

The information given by our ancestralastrologers about Nodes are very useful butit requires deep thinking to interpret its

predictive influence with reference toexperience of present time. Aftercontinuous study and review on the basis ofexperience of fifty years in the field of

astrology, the author has tried to give the specific interpretation about the influence ofNodes in this article. North Node and South Node are only sensitive points and do not havephysical body of their own. So they are considered shadow planets.But effect of these Nodes is observed similar to physical planets. In an agricultural land if thereis a shadow under the big tree, it is observed that no crops can be grown in the area of this shadow.Similarly whenever shadow of these Nodes covers any sign of the Zodiac, it givesunpredictable effect to that sign and also to the planet which becomes lord of this sign.According to the basic principle of astrology, North Node (Rahu) is considered mouth ofserpent and it is broadthat shows development; while SouthNode(Ketu) is considered tail ofserpent which isnarrowthat shows restriction.

Influence of North Node - Rahu:orth Node always gives good result in the signs of Mercury and Venus. NorthNode is considered as shadow of Moon. Shadow always remains inseparable fromits object. The North Node being the shadow of the moon, it gives strong effect in

the sign of Moon that is Cancer. North Node is not favourable in fiery sign i.e. in the sign of

Aries, Leo & Sagittarius. It is therefore clear that North Node in the sign of Taurus, Libra,Gemini, Virgo, Aquarius and Cancer gives beneficial result whether it is situated alone orwith other planets. Though the result of North Node in above signs is favourable but notstraight forward and it creates difficulty for giving the good result. North Node in these signsgives success by ones intelligence, firmness and strong efforts. North Node gives goodresult for the matter pertaining to material world.

Whenever, North Node is places in any house in the sign other than signs of Mercury,Venus and Moon, it creates many difficulties for the matter of that house and planet which

owns the sign and gives adverse result which can not be avoided. Therefore it is clear thatNorth Node in the sign of Leo, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn & Pisces does not givefavourable result.

For an instance, if North Node in Scorpio sign placed in the sixth house, it creates difficultyin the service of a native. In this situation, native has to pass through tough period withquarrels and court cases and it so happens that native has to leave the service.

Influence of South Node - Ketu:orth Node is considered as broad portion while South Node is considered as narrowportion. Therefore, main characteristic of South Node is to create narrowness andrestrict the circumstances for giving beneficial result in the life of a native. Our

ancestral astrologers have considered the South Node for giving spiritual knowledge andtherefore it gives salvation. South Node is connected with occult science, religion, spiritualreading and also with modesty and humbleness. South Node gives good result for the matterpertaining to non-material world.

South Node is favourable in fiery sign i.e. in the sign of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. South

Node gives beneficial result in the signs of Mars and Jupiter i.e. in the signs of Aries,Scorpio, Sagittarius and Pisces. As per natural characteristic of South Node, it is a planet ofrestriction and impediment. Therefore, if it is placed in unfavourable sign other than thesigns of Mars and Jupiter, it creates totally negative results for the matter pertaining to that

house and planet which owns the sign. For an instance, if South Node is placed in the secondsixth or tenth house in unfavourable sign such as Taurus, Libra, Gemini and Virgo, then theresult of these houses is experienced totally negative, that is in the second house, shortage ofmoney, in the sixth house difficulty in service and in the tenth house failures in career areobserved.

Prediction of North Node - Rahu:odes represent the planet which is owner of the sign in which these Nodes areplaced. If North Node is in Taurus, it represents the planet Venus and gives theresults of Venus. In this case, North Node will give the result which Venus is

supposed to give. Here North Node is giving the result; therefore result of Venus will bevery beneficial because North Node is considered giving favourable result in the sign ofVenus. Therefore, Node is the main planet which gives the result of the house in which it isplaced. The planet which is owner of this house will give subsidiary result.

For an instance, Venus is placed in Virgo and North Node is placed in Taurus. Here Venus is

in debilitated sign, but North Node will not give adverse result of Venus because North Node isplaced in its favourable sign of Venus. Therefore, North Node will give the beneficial result ofVenus. This can be interpreted clearly during Vimshottari Dasa System. In this casewhenever, a native passes through Venus period, it will not give beneficial result. In thisperiod a native experience shortage of money and prosperity. Butwhen a native passes throughNorth Node period, then native experiences good result of Venus and gets money and prosperity.

North Node, in the sign of Sagittarius and Pisces gives specific results. For an instance, ifJupiter is placed in an exalted sign of Cancer and North Node is placed in Sagittarius, then

North Node represents Jupiter. North Node is placed in unfavorable sign of Sagittarius;therefore it does not give beneficial result regarding the matter of Jupiter. Therefore, duringVimshottari dasa period of North Node, a native will get adverse and evil results of Jupitereven though Jupiter is placed in its exalted sign of Cancer. For clarification of this principle, thefollowing birth chart is given.

Case 1:Native - MaleDate of Birth - 30 / 31-05-1955, Time of Birth - 4-20 AM, Place of Birth -Nadiad (Gujarat)

Vimshottari Rahu period: 22-11-1969 to 23-11-1987

In the above chart Ascendant is in Aries and Jupiter is in Cancer placed in the fourthhouse. North Node is in Sagittarius and placed in ninth house. Jupiter is in its exalted signCancer. But North Node placed in the sign of Jupiter, is not beneficial for giving the resultof Jupiter. Here North Node represents Jupiter. Therefore during the Vimshottari Dasaperiod of North Node, it is supposed to give the results of Jupiter relating to the matter offourth house (Mother, House, Peace, Happiness etc.), ninth house (father) and twelfthhouse (Bondage).

Here North Node is placed in unfavourable sign of Jupiter, therefore a native gets adverseand evil results for the houses mentioned above during the period of North Node. NinthHouse shows the Father, natives father lost both the eyes and so he had to live in ordinarystate during this period. In this circumstance natives father was helpless, jobless & had tolive under the care of relatives with complete dependency. Natives father lost his incomeand he could not have his own house. Therefore the native had to live without any facility of

education and comfort and suffered many difficulties during this period.

Prediction of South Node - Keturediction of South Node is similar to North Node; South Node gives beneficial resultin the signs of Sagittarius and Pisces. For an instance if in a birth chart of a native,Jupiter is a weak planet; it gives weak result during the Vimshottari dasa period of

Jupiter. Butif South Node is placed in Sagittarius in the same birth chart, native gets goodresults for the matter of Jupiter during the Vimshottari period of South Node. It also givesthe good result of the house in which South Node is placed.

South Node in the sign of Mercury, Venus and Moon gives adverse result. Gemini, Virgo,Taurus, Libra and Cancer are unfavorable signs of South Node. For an instance, in a birthchart of a native, if South Node is in Cancer and Moon is in Taurus or Cancer, then duringthe Vimshottari dasa period of South Node, a native gets adverse result for the matterpertaining to Moon. The reasons are that South Node is in unfavourable sign of Cancergiving adverse result of Moon. Moon is placed in its own or exalted sign of Cancer orTaurus, but South Node will spoil the result of Moon because it is in unfavourable sign ofCancer as mentioned above. In a natural horoscope, the sign Cancer shows the fourth housewhich indicates internal peace and happy family life. But in this case, South Node in the

sign of Cancer shows the lack of above matter of fourth house and creates adversecircumstances and many difficulties.

For clarification of this principle, the following birth chart is given.Case 2Native : FemaleDate of Birth : 5-12-1952, Time of Birth : 00-10 AM, Place of Birth : Nadiad(Gujarat)

sign in which South Node is placed. South Node in the sign of Cancer is unfavorable forgiving beneficial result of Moon. South Node in the sign of Moon is supposed to give

adverse result for the matter of twelfth house in which South Node is place, eleventh house1

in which Moon is placed and for the Karaka matter of Moon. This adverse result isexperienced during Vimshottari Period of South Node.

The matter pertaining to twelfth house is bondage, feeling confinement, restriction in everywalk of life etc. Natives home life is totally disturbed. Husband of the native is not of herliking. She has no issues due to ovary problem and therefore she feels lonely at home. Nativefeels confinement at her own home and seeks solace and peace at different residence of her

relatives.

The matter pertaining to eleventh house is benefit and ambition. Native is qualified withM.A. B.Ed with Library Science, but she could not get proper service according to her choiceand wherever she has served, she could not remain more than three months due to hermental unsteadiness. Cancer also indicates liver in human body, therefore South Node issign of Cancer gives adverse result to digestive system. Native suffers from indigestion andacidity and has to take medicine regularly for this trouble.

Conjunction of Planets with North Node (rahu) and South Node (ketu)henever a planet or planets are in conjunction with Nodes, then during theVimshottari dasa period of the planet, connected with the Node, it will givevery beneficial result to the native if Nodes are placed in their favourable signs.

For instance, in a birth chart, if North Node (rahu) is in Virgo in conjunction with Jupiterand Saturn. Here, North Node is placed in its favourable sign of Virgo; therefore, beneficialresults are experienced by a native during Vimshottari dasa period of Jupiter and Saturnwhich are in conjunction with North Node. During this period a native gets good results inhis life for the matter relating to Jupiter and Saturn with his intelligent efforts because

Planet Gripped by North Node andSouth Node:A Planet in conjunction, opposition or insquare aspect to Nodes is considered asgripped planet when the degree of theplanet is less than the degree of Nodes.

The closest grip between planet and Nodewill be within five degree differencebetween.

Result of gripped planet is observed lessthan expectation or almost nil. If powerfulplanets are gripped by Nodes, they also donot give good result. There is all possibilityto be wrong in astrological predictionwhenever such type of planetary situationarises.For clarification of this principle, we takethe same birth chart as mentioned above.In the above chart, Ascendant is in Piscesand South Node is placed in the Ascendantwhich is in square aspect with Moon inSagittarius and placed in tenth house.

The degree of South Node is 12-30 anddegree of Moon is 11-00, therefore, degreeof planet is less than the South Node. Thedegree of Moon is less than degree ofSouth Node by 1-30. Therefore, Moon isgripped by South Node. Moon is placed intenth house and becomes owner of thefifth house.Therefore, Moon does not give beneficialresult regarding professional career and

prosperity in the life of this native.
