[@komodopolycryptoblog6088]

asatya-vadi sounds like " ends justify the means" from how you were describing it. Love how you go through the sanskrit with us , quickly becoming my new favorite vedic astrology channel

[@tavaivasmi]

i know it must be difficult for you to translate it... but i actually really like the way this book describe things, with thick strokes... it is peircing and yet opening like good poetry. it is also very poetic how you read it and expand it, magistral. personally i think this description of rahu and ketu is one of the most clear and real of all the planets, i have rahu in my 2nd house... for me it is the perfect description of my family/support system and my relationship to that. it is almost cathartic to hear it in another words💘🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@VicDiCaraAstrology]

thanks so much

[@RippleDrop.]

I have Ketu close to ascendent and Moon with Rahu. My body is covered with tiny scars because I used to pick raspberries alone naked in a forest and they are very spikey. Also just going without clothes and getting scrached by wilderness a lot. Also I have had PTSD because growing up in a violent family. I have went through some intense karma in this life. I was probably bad in a past life to get to live a life like mine. Things better now.

[@arien_000]

May I ask if your moon and Rahu are in a tight conjunction? Cuz my son's moon and Rahu are.. and his moon is isolated and not aspected by any real planets at all..

[@RippleDrop.]

@@arien_000 no. Not tight. According to vic it's more of aspect from ketu causing mental health issues

[@arien_000]

@@RippleDrop. My son's Rahu and Ketu both have strong influences on his Kemdrum Yoga Moon. He's a wonderful kid (with volatile temper sometimes) but I'm bracing myself. All I could do is love, guide and nurture him. I can't change his karma..

An understanding: Rahu - eclipse of the Sun (will/ authority/head) Ketu - eclipse of the Moon (emotions/lower body)

[@VicDiCaraAstrology]

Rahu and Ketu can eclipse the sun or moon. A full moon with the Sun at either Rahu or Ketu causes a lunar eclipse. A new moon with the Sun at either Rahu or Ketu causes a solar eclipse.

How amazing to hear such ancient description from such ancient language!

[@JAMES.MOSBEYII]

_In regards to my question_ I guess I imagined how those qualities of Rahu, and Ketu, were impactful enough to have an effect on indications of the Sun. Not to make Sun indications "nicer", sounds like what you thought I was asking, but in a Rahu/Ketu way to actually be powerful enough to effect and even change those very consistent intense overt qualities. Like Ultraviolet and infrared rays are harmful thus keeps us away from too much Sun exposure. Or how a lawless non-planning individual in a leadership role causing problems for his own kingdom.

[@theoldgod9]

The words ultra-violet and infra-red feel so on topic. And, the fact that we cannot see either of these spectrum, mainly because our eyes were developed due to sun's radiation and our millions of years long adaptation to it. The dark and the light. So, yeah, the sun, the moon and the nodes. By the way, some ultraviolet is essential and normal for functioning of life on earth. Similarly, hotter radiations like reddish and infrared radiations are good as they provide us with a lot of heat. The extreme analysis would be to study neutrinos on both sides of spectrum, which are always present and pass through and through whole planets, our bodies and keep on raging against the dark of the space. First being the longer wavelength, infraredy Microwave Background radiation, which is more like Ketu, and is ever present since big bang. The second being the case of unstoppable, humongous bombardment of neutrinos coming from our own star, Sun., which is rather new phenomena and other things could be signals and EMR related to electronics and internet. One would be Ketu and other would be Rahu. A lot of study to be done, distinction.

I wonder if there's a strong exchange of Rahu/Ketu's lords creates individuals that are prone to *figuring out the dynamic of Rahu/Ketu?* Or like you mentioned, how Rahu is more aligned with 3rd house indications so you may actually want Rahu in a house thats more Ketu like?

[@ahimsaalexander9004]

Fascinating question - Ketu in Leo conjunct ascendant exactly and rahu in Aquarius. Sun conjunct Saturn in 10th house in Taurus. Yes, I like to balance the lessons of the dragon and especially with Saturn Ketu raja yoga, and sun Saturn raja yoga. Then exalted mars Ketu raja yoga.

[@100woodywu]

Love this and I knew little about ketu & Rahu but this information is superb, thank you. In regards to your comments on modern astrology and outer planets . It appears to me that modern astrology stopped looking for rulerships etc when other planets were discovered ie Makemake, Eris, Haumea, Sedna, Ceres etc. etc other outer planets that can’t be observed with the naked eye mmm.

[@theoldgod9]

Imagine this. The zodiac is made up of sun and the moon. But, the 12 sections have rulerships that go even after Saturn, which is uranus, neptune and pluto. I mean, if the luminaries and sun's movement is describing the zodiac, then how come we have invisible planets ruling a third of the zodiac. It's weird. Maybe, there's more to it.

[@astralcounterpoint]

Really interesting. There's been some preliminary research on Luminaries on the Nodes and serial killer charts and personality disorders.

[@theoldgod9]

The nodes are always retrograde in motion. It's just geometrical mathematics I guess. I don't have a clear mental map of this happens or a link to a clear gif or video representation. Try searching about it. I think, there might be se development regarding that. It was a long time ago, since I tried to have a feel for this.

Vic this Rahu video is very helpful for you understanding my Rahu dasa . Do you use mean or true node calculations? My Rahu switches signs and youse depending on the node calculation

[@VicDiCaraAstrology]

i would think that true is better. but if you are on such a border, it actually doesnt make a difference, the important part for you is that rahu is "sandhi" (in border)

[@roxanemiller4129]

Yes he is Sandi but in uttra Phalguni either way. He becomes atma karaka with true node where as Saturn is with mean node .. so it’s confusing Lol That’s Rahu for ya. I’m in Rahu dasha so I’ve been obsessed about it. What is your take on the shadow planets being “Sandi”? By the way your haircut looks fresh 🙂

Satyavadi means a person who strives to follow satya(truth/eternal truth like dharma). Mahatma gandhi was called a satyavadi because he followed true dharma in his actions & speach. The opposite at 23 mins, is true for rahu who is a a-satyavadi meaning follows adharma thru & thru

[@theoldgod9]

Break the word down further. A-sat-ya-waadi. In Bhagwatam, he says,... Nanyat tat sat asat param. Be it, sat or asat, vishnu is in everything, and he is above every thing. That's just one way to look at it. Adharma can be 'lawlessness'. So, during ww2, if I protect Jews in Germany or Poland, technically, I'm Adharmic, in a lot of ways, but I'm very dharmic to my human nature. A-sat-ya-wadi is not resonant with A-dharma, I guess. That's why they are two different words. Focus.

[@micahlively8321]

My Rahu changes signs and houses from mean nodes to true nodes. True node puts it in saggitarius in my 3rd house and Mean node puts it in capricorn in My 4th house right next to my venus and opposite my saturn. Which nodes should I calculate for? It particularly makes a big difference in my chart.

[@theoldgod9]

I think, true would be more useful. I hope your question gets answered by someone in position of power and knowledge.

I could see how some planets may be may be more hierarchy but Venus seems to be pivotal for hiearchies. Thats why the section on Sun and Venus being parents of the day and Saturn and Moon at night made some sense. Idk But Hitler came to mind mentioning artist and politics.

In Ramayana when Lord Rama and brothers were born, their father the King of Ayodhya had astrologers make their horoscopes. To be honest I don’t think astrology was “invented” by anyone in India, since how did a population without astronomical tools like telescope, satellites, rockets etc etc, document and precisely calculate the planetary speeds, travel, motion to the nth decimal? Just these rishis sitting in the Himalayas could not have “seen” these things happening in the skies. My belief is these humans had regular contact with celestial beings in past Yugas who gave a healthy download of knowledge. Not terribly unlike what many people are claiming today vis-à-vis alien contacts giving a peek of the other worldly universe.
