Rahu
Rahu and Ketu show the
play of “Raga-Dwesha”, the attractions and repulsions that take place
constantly in the mind of a sub-conscious level. They are the factors that
create the mental agitation and lack of mental peace.
Rahu’s afflictions can be
related with subconscious turmoil coming from unresolved situations from
previous lives.
It indicates a need to
understand the unconscious and subconscious mind and bring the unresolved
issues into a conscious state.
Rahu’s attraction to the
dark and hidden areas can easily tune to lower or negative astral entities and
lead to adharmic actions. Beware of wrong type of spiritual practices which can
damage or open too much the astral body. Avoid negative places and people and
any kind of intoxication. Be aware and sublimate the strong inner desires.
Rahu is related with
strong compulsive desires and fears which are usually unconscious and come from
the frustrations of previous lives. They can easily turn into addictions.
Rahu’s Yogic remedy is
basically to introspect, recognize and detach from the mind’s strong desires.
Channel and express your
personal ambitions and desires toward a higher and spiritual goal, without
becoming obsessed and without expecting powers or astral experiences.
Overcome fear by
developing spiritual strength, esoteric
knowledge, faith, devotion and detachment.
Ketu
Ketu shows a need to renounce
the lower Ego, the materialistic attachments, and change the previous
“Samskaras” or mental impressions and tendencies, we bring from the past lives.
Ketu shows something we
may have done too much on the past and now there is a need to compensate for
that. Ketu feels guilty about the personal ego and mistakes done in the past.
Ketu shows a need to
spiritualize the areas of life indicated by its house and sign placement, or
the planets it conjuncts. It usually does that by creating separation or dissatisfaction
towards the related area of life.
The best ways to manage
the Ketu energy is by spiritual practices like seclusion, meditation,
introspection, renunciation, study of ancient spiritual disciplines and Vedanta
philosophy, following the intuition, understand death and the ephemeral nature
of the material and sensual world.
Both Rahu and Ketu have to
be understood as an axis, which shows the play of “Raga and Dwesha”, the
desires and repulsions that swing the mind and steal the inner peace.
Understanding their
patterns is most important for solving and working out the karmas and inner
conflicts.
