In Vedic astrology, there are nine planets, and out of these, seven planets are present in physical form. But according to astrology, Rahu and Ketu are two such planets with no physical form. Rahu and Ketu are generally considered inauspicious and sinful planets. These two are the intersection points of the Moon and the Earth’s orbit; that’s why they are invisible planets. According to mythology, these two planets eclipse the Sun and the Moon together.
These two planets are always 180 degrees away from each other. In western astrology, they are also known as the northern and southern nodes. A solar eclipse or a lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun and Moon are close to Rahu and Ketu. Rahu and Ketu are known as the most powerful and sinful planets.
According to Vedic astrology, Rahu is the reason for having confusion, fear, deceit, passion, and foreign and unknown diseases. Rahu creates worldly attachment and materialistic thinking in the person. Due to its effect, a person remains indulging in worldly glare and delusion. It provides sudden fame, greed, passion, manipulation, conspiracy, and diplomacy to the person. It is of Vata by nature. The karaka planet of politicians, criminals, and smugglers is Rahu. When Rahu is Bali in the birth chart, it gives power, politics, and a high position. Rahu’s inauspicious position in the birth chart sometimes gives a person the power to rise through improper actions and means. Rahu is also the karaka planet of thieves, prisons, snakes, poison, and foreign travel. Due to the inauspicious effect of Rahu, a person can move in the wrong direction or may take the wrong step in their life, which can cost them more.
However, the auspicious position of Rahu in the horoscope also benefits the person from the fields of sudden prosperity, fame, success, betting, and lotteries. Rahu is known for fulfilling worldly desires, and Ketu quenches your spiritual thirst. The effect of Ketu is often painful for worldly matters. Ketu is the karaka planet of spirituality, detachment, salvation, esoteric subjects, Ayurveda, medicine, tantra-mantra, astrology yoga, healing science, etc. Ketu is a planet with a pitta nature. Ketu does not divert the person towards worldly matters but towards spiritual realms.
Rahu is the head, and Ketu is the lower torso. Ketu gives a person excellent intuition power. Due to Ketu’s auspicious effect, a person can understand esoteric and complex subjects easily. It can increase your spiritual knowledge. With the influence of Ketu, a person can become proficient in the art of healing.
Rahu and Ketu do not have any physical existence. They are the two intersection points of the Moon’s and Earth’s orbit; hence, they are called shadow planets in astrology. Some people argue that when Rahu and Ketu do not have any physical form, how can they affect people? But even if the shadow has no physical form, it can still affect humans. For example, if you stand under a tree under scorching heat, you may get relief from the heat. If there is no shadow of the tree, then no one can save us from the heat. Actually, the tree’s shadow saves us from the heat, not that tree.
If the shadow of a tree affects man, then why can’t the shadow of the two intersection points of the Moon and the Earth’s orbit affect us? Rahu and Ketu being shadow planets are invisible energy that definitely affects us. The Effect of Rahu and Ketu falls on a large and collective level. Due to Rahu and Ketu, you may face incidents like epidemics, earthquakes, mass murders or violence, bomb blasts, and natural calamities like floods, storms, etc.
