Lesson Four
Behaviour of Rahu and Ketu
The Earth orbits around Sun from West to East, and likewise
Moon orbits around the Earth in the counter clockwise direction
i.e. West to East. Since, Moon's axis is inclined to the Ecliptic at 5
deg 8 minutes; it cuts the Ecliptic at two points which are
diametrically opposite to each other. The ascending node i.e. north
node is called Rahu or Dragon's Head and descending node i.e.
south node is called Ketu or Dragon's Tail. This is illustrated below
in Fig 3:

Behaviour of Rahu and Ketu 23
Tr. PlanetRahu in this chart has positional status because
there is no Planet in its Star. It can be verified from the second
column of the Planetary Table. Thus Rahu will offer the result both
as per its positional status and as per its stellar status.
Positional Status Result: Rahu occupies house and in
cuspal positions 3, 7, 9 and lO.Thus, Rahu will offer the result of
houses 3, 7, 9, 10 and 11.
Stellar Status Result:Rahu is in Saturn Star. Saturn occupies
8th house and appears in cuspal positions 4, 5, 6, and 12. Thus,
Rahu will offer the results of houses 4, 5, 6, 8, 11 and 12 as per its
stellar status.
In summation, Rahu in this chart will offer the result of houses
3,4,5,6,7, 8,9, 10, 12.
What we discussed above are the results of Rahu as Rahu i.e.
when we consider Rahu as a Planet like any other Planet.
In the given Ketualso has the positional status because
Ketu is Moon Star Moon is in Ketu Star (mutually exchangingstar lords - as explained in previous lesson).
Positional Status Result:Ketu occupies the 5th house and
appears in and 12 cuspal positions. Thus, Ketu will offer
the results of 4, 5, 8, 10 and 12 houses.
Stellar Status Result: Ketu is in Moon Star and Moon
occupies 12th house. Furthermore, it appears in cuspal positions 8,
11 and 12. Therefore, Ketu will offer the results of 8, 11 and 12
houses.
In summation, Ketu will offer the results of and
12 houses. These are the houses which signify the Positional andStellar status of Ketu as Ketu.

Planets That Rahu and Ketu Represent:
We have stated above that Rahu and Ketu are the points of
intersection. These points are represented by the Zodiacal positions
of Rahu and Ketu. We also know that each zodiacal point is ruled
by a Sign and a Star lord. It is believed that Rahu and Ketu
absorb the energy of the Planets that co-rule their zodiacal
positions.
In Fig 4, Tr. Rahu is in Can 10.08'.33". This position is ruled
by the Planet Moon as Sign Lord and the Planet Saturn as the Star
lord. According to theory, Tr. Rahu and Ketu represent
the planets which are their Sign and Star lords. In the chart under
reckoning, Moon and Saturn are the sign and star of Rahu
respectively; therefore, Rahu is said to represent Moon and Saturn.
In other words, Tr. Rahu will also provide the results of Moon
and Saturn as per their positional and stellar status. In brief,
we can say that Rahu will offer the results of Rahu as Rahu, Rahu
as Moon, and Rahu as Saturn as per their positional and stellar
status. Ketu can be analyzed on the basis of same principle e.g. inthe given chart Ketu will be studied as Ketu, Saturn (Sign lord of
Ketu) and Moon (Star lord of Ketu).
Note: However it should be remembered that the result of
Rahu as Rahu, Rahu as Moon, and Rahu as Saturn has to be
considered independently. This is because the result of a house
that the Planet offers has to be qualified by the Sub lord of the
Planet. This will be explained in future lesson. It is, however, to
be remembered that Rahu or Ketu will act as three Planets.
Fig shows the diagramatic representation for determining
the significations of Rahu in a chart. The same procedure can beaddopted for determining the significations for Ketu.
