Rahu and Ketu are often known by various names
such as Nodes, Shadows, Head and Tail, Caput,
Cauda etc. But what is Rahu and Ketu?As we know
through common science, the moon completes one
orbit around the Earth in approximately a months
time, crossing the orbit of the Earth twice in
the same period, once when it goes from south to
north (Ascending) and at another time while
traveling from north to south (Descending). This
ascending point is called Rahu and the
descending point Ketu. These have retrograde
motion in the zodiac at the rate of 19020' per
year.

There is a fundamental difference between Rahu
and Ketu and the other planets. The other planets
are bodies of physical mass having form, shape,
color, gravity, atmosphere, motion etc. On the
other hand, Rahu and Ketu are two imaginary
points in the heavens without mass, shape or
form. They are the points of intersection of the
apparent path of the Sun with the path of the
Moon. When it comes to Vastu Shastra, it has been
established beyond doubt that Rahu and Ketu
influence an individuals life, at times even
more than that of other planets. Since they are
in exact opposition to each other, their effect
should be considered simultaneously.

Rahu and Ketu often radiate the effects of the
lords of the signs that they are in and also of
those planets which are situated with them, not
having many individual characteristics of their
own. They are often considered to be a part of
the same entity, with Rahu being known as the
Dragons head and Ketu as its tail. The
significance is that the head is forward-looking
and symbolizes the future, while the tail is a
representation of the past. Hence, Rahu
represents the qualities to be developed and work
to be done during the present incarnation and
Ketu denotes the qualities during past lives.
These indicate attitudes that come naturally to
the native. They are classified as Karmic planets.

According to Hindu astrology, Rahu and Ketu are
known as planets of gains and losses since
Rahu is considered as a giver and Ketu as the
taker. Both of them are considered to be malefic.
Ketu is considered as a spiritual force, causing
salvation for the human souls and Rahu is
considered to be more Earthly, indicating mundane
prosperity. The effects of the Nodes are not
always evil and they are also productive, thus
causing Raj Yogas. By and large, Nodes play a
constructive role because after making the native
pass through various difficult phases, they also
enable him to progress spiritually. However, all
this can go down the drain if the Nodes conjoin
Mars or Saturn without any benefit aspect, life
is marked by misery, struggle, and
misunderstanding throughout. Rahu is also
considered a diplomat and Ketu a seer. They
eclipse the Sun and Moon representing the soul
and mind respectively. Hence, they have a great
influence on the souls liberation or rebirth.
Rahu or Ketu within 2 degrees of the ascendant
gives an unusual type of personality and a very
distinctive appearance.

Considering the negative traits, Rahu and Ketu
signify one that is born in a low caste,
dissatisfied, fond of traveling, tells lies, is
harsh in speech and is involved in unnatural sex.
They also indicate a change of residence, ill
health, dual marriage, serpents, mosquitoes,
insects, spices, southwest direction etc. Parts
of the body represented by them are buttocks,
intestinal tract. The diseases indicated by them
are hiccups, insanity, intestinal problems,
ulcer, gastric problems etc. The products
represented by them are meat, wine, eggs, radish,
coconut, a sacrifice of animals etc.Although
they are completely different, when compared to
the properties of planets, Rahu has the
properties of Saturn whereas Ketu has the
influence of Mars. Rahu is feminine. Its gem is
Agate or Lapis lazuli and governs paternal
grandfather and maternal grandmother.On the
other hand, Ketu is a eunuch. Its gem is
turquoise. Ketu is said to be conducive to
liberation and to be similar to Mars in giving
effects. Ketu rules maternal grandfather and
paternal grandmother. While Rahu represents the
tall, Ketu represents short natives.

Unlike other astrological entities, Rahu and Ketu
are not tangible or observable. But their
significance can be understood from the fact that
they can still end up having more effect on a
natives life than any planet whatsoever. Hence,
they are also often referred to as Shadowy
Planets.This brings us to the end of this
extensive article. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto
will not be discussed in this article as firstly
these are very slow moving planets and secondly
these are hardly considered to be significant by
astrologers in India for making predictions.If
