The Rahu And Ketu: Shadowy Planets

In Astronomy, Moon is said to be a satellite of our mother Earth revolving around in an orbit, and it completes its one cycle around earth within approximately one month. Now In Vedic Astrology, there is some other significations associated with that, Moon goes first from south to north and then north to south. Basically, the traveling distance of Moon in its main orbit is categorized in two ways. Thus, the ascendant point of Moon is termed as Rahu while descendant point is known as “Ketu”. Now we can understand it in different way too, Earth rotates around Sun in ecliptic plane and Moon also rotates or revolves around Earth in different plane, so this way, it intersects the ecliptic plane on two different points. From where Moon appears to be rising or going upwards direction, known as Rahu and the point where it appears to move downward is known as Ketu in Vedic Astrology. These are not real existing entities in the universe; these are only the shadow or imaginary points. But these are very influential points.

Why Rahu And Ketu Are Important Planets In Astrology?

Rahu and Ketu are the most influential planets in Astrology. These are also termed as smoky planets too, which means it can expand like a smoke and can create kind of illusion before anyone. These are mainly the north and south nodes of the Moon and create an eclipse if comes in contact with any planet in any zodiac sign. The eclipse is not good as due to that the planet looses its strength due to these smoky planets and gets confused. Ultimately, it affects the decision making ability and losses in life. We chase for something which is perhaps not made for us due to influence of these planets. Now these two planets are also different from each other too in behaviour. Rahu wants all kind of success and materialistic gains. It is more of a materialistic planet while the Ketu is spiritual one; Ketu likes to get connected with divine sources and stay disconnected from materialistic world. These both are way opposite to each other naturally. Both the planets are not the physical entities, so do not govern any house or zodiac sign in Vedic Astrology or in Kaal Purush Natural Kundali.

Hindu Mythodology About Rahu And Ketu

In Hindu Mythodology, Rahu and Ketu are shadowy planets or Chhaya Grahas. Chhaya means no physical existence or mass in celestial cabinet or universe, it is only the celestial points in Vedic Astrology. As per ancient scriptures, It was the incident of “Samudra Munthan” and distributing the drops of nectar (Amrit). After the Samudra Munthan, Lord Vishnu started serving Nectar to all the Gods and poisons to all Demons, however, one of the demon names SwarBhanu noticed it and sat in the row of Gods to receive Nectar, but the God Surya (Sun) and Chandra (Moon) had saw this act of that demon and immediately gave signal to Lord Vishnu, but by then he already consumed the nectar and became immortal. Thus, Lord Vishnu cut off the head of demon. Since then the head of demon is termed as Rahu and torso is termed as Ketu. That’s why Rahu is considered as bodiless and Ketu is considered as brainless in Vedic Astrology, which results the confusion in one’s life
