10.7 Conclusion
10.7.1
The Nodes-Rahu & Ketu, may be only two sensitive points without any mass,
form or shape, but in astrological analysis they play a very crucial role. In
Vedic astrology, Nodes are called as “Shadow Planets” and given ownership of
three Nakshtra each bestowing lordship of dasha schemes in Vimshotri pattern. Some astrologers think that these points act as
filter for cosmic energies & radiation from extra-Saturian planets in the
universe. Their aspects are similar (5th, 7th & 9th)
to that of Jupiter. They are always retrograde in motion, so some savants have
given them the 12th aspect as well. Their significations are quite
mystic & Karmic (related to Karmas of past lives) and their results are normally
sudden, unexpected, unconventional and unorthodox.
10.7.2 As
Rahu & Ketu always are 180 degrees apart, the nodes always affect as an
important axis in a chart. The axis is always key to discover major problems in
the life of a native. On one side, there is expansion, grabbing of
materialistic abundance & unwelcome foreign guest (Rahu) and on the other
side there is detachment, loss & salvation (Ketu). Rahu’s transit shows,
where one is likely to expand, driven, try new things and disperse energies
into materialistic pursuits. Ketu’s transit show, where one is likely to
experience restriction, detachment, completion or focus and deepen spiritual
pursuits. Rahu is “the giver/ grabber” and Ketu “the taker” which is indicative
of their house/ sign position in the natal chart. Both the Nodes are normally malefic
but give auspicious results under specific conditions like conjunction with a
Yogkaraka. But they are never considered really benefic in real sense in long
run as they always carry some of the heavy burdens of past Karmas, their birth
is associated with. Their conjunction/ aspect spoil the significations of other
planets though the luminaries suffer the most. Benefics lose their benevolence
and turn perverse, while the evil nature of malefics increase. It is generally
believed that Rahu acts as Saturn and Ketu as Mars. At times during their dasha
period & transit they give results which were to be delivered by Saturn
& Mars respectively. The eclipses are the unique transit results of the
Nodes along with transit of the Sun & the Moon, which brings out lot of
valuable astronomical & astrological data for discoveries & research
into the unknown facets of life.
