Rahu

 

Rahu -it perceives exactly and is sure of what to do in a given situation, in other words, is decisive and focused on the cause and has an unwavering, undaunting quality. Since Rahu does not own a sign, it's adaptable but can still manifest its intrinsic qualities irrespective of the association or placement, the best placement is the Kendra or Trikona. It operates on the mental plane as it represents the severed head, this severance may be severance from attachment if it manifests in a positive way, it should be seen and observed as an axis.

The problem is that Rahu is considered to the astrological dustbin, can cancerous growth be attributed to Rahu Alone absolute" No". Jupiter is more responsible for expanding it for it owns the arterial system and partly owns the lymphatic system. Rahu expresses itself in two ways sudden and harsh and in a more subtle gradual way simultaneously, its the self-sacrificing or self-destructive mode of Rahu that assimilates in the form of chaos and upheavals in the life of the most, Since this part is clearly visible one tends to ignore the subtle and gradual inner working of the Rahu. Lal Kitab refers to Rahu as the hidden molten activity of the Volcano, while Ketu is considered to be a dust storm visible and plain yet somewhat destructive. Rahu represents all invasive outside influences to the physical body, the bacteria, the viruses, and other pollutants while Saturn is a fungal, degenerative, and wasting experience in the body. In our body cells replace new cells its an ongoing process but the cancerous cells refuse to be replaced and start multiplying creating a cancerous growth, since the attributes are similar to the nature of Rahu most astrologers attribute Rahu with it, but in real terms, it is just a part of the combination not the absolute of it.

Wisdom and higher intelligence are traits attributed to Jupiter, But intellect and learning come from mercury, perception, and emotions from Moon, logic and factual information from Mars, Saturn provides practical knowledge and common sense, Rahu prenomination, and to an extent intuition also.

Two planet Yogas

 

There is no question of rejecting or doubting the classics of Vaidik astrology, but the fact is that classics tell you about the effect but do not tell you the cause equation of it. The cause equation has to be found out after measuring the same effect of yoga on different parameters or fundamental rules as given in different classics since the basic rudimentary principles almost remain the same it has to be tested on the anvil of these very principles. For example, a two-planet yoga as given in chapter 8 of jataka Parijaat or elsewhere. Let us assume the planets are Sun and Jupiter conditions to look for combustion of Jupiter, if either of two or both own a dushsthaana or be placed in it if they are placed in 5th is in lajjit avasthaa , the very definition says the planet in 5th house with sun, Rahu or Ketu is in lajjit avastha so this negates 5th house association of Jupiter and sun to produce an effective result, Now come the debilitation signs of both in libra and Capricorn the sign lord in both cases is enemy of the two. Sun is Lagna but this conjunction if it does not happen in signs of Leo, Sagittarius and Pisces will have different lord of Sun Lagna and if they are placed in signs of Saturn, Venus the result will again be non-conducive, Avasthaas of the planet are also important, then the Kendra lordship if it happens for Jupiter and the sign of conjunction being same as Kendra the benefic intent of the planet will be eroded, Mansagri opines that the panch maha Pursh yog bhanga occurs if the yoga creating planets be conjunct sun or moon or in other words, the effects are mitigated. Classics provide you with the picture the coloring box of rules lies with you if you color the picture correctly then Monalisa will be Monalisa and not a poor caricature of the same.
