Rahu and Ketu – two important planets in the zodiac and often called up together. With the origin of these two planets, there is a mythological story backed up to Samudra Manthan. It is believed that Rahu Ketu are not actually two but one. At the time of Samudra Manthan, the Amrit pot emerged and Mohini – the incarnation of Lord Vishnu -- distributed Amrit between Suras and Asuras. To take advantage of having Amrit, one Asura – demon called Swarbhanu had Amrit in disguise of Suras. Knowing about this act, Lord Vishnu cut the head of Swarbhanu with his Sudarashana Chakra. Though the effect of Amrit made the demon immortal. Hence, his body was divided into 2 living parts as the head became Rahu and the remaining body became Ketu.

Since then, Rahu Ketu were given a special place in the study of planets and in astrology. Their positioning in horoscopes plays a vital role influencing various aspects of life. Dr. Vinay Bajrangi will tell you how Rahu and Ketu affect us, as per Vedic astrology.

In astrological considerations, Rahu is accepted as a planet of grief and sorrow. Even the Malefic Rahu might lead the Native to have thoughts of suicide. These natives often struggle with phobia, fear and lack of confidence. Health issues like dysentery, constipation and cholera are quite common to be seen among them.

With sun-signs like Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, Sagittarius and Libra, Rahu can be at good terms whereas with Leo and Cancer natives, rifts are very common to be observed with.

In planetary combos, Rahu teams up well with Saturn, Venus and Mercury, and is known as an enemy planet for Moon, Mars and Sun.

For natives of Libra and Taurus, Rahu shows positive outcomes. The natives born with strong Rahu Dasha mostly receive success, fame and money in life. These natives feel attracted to materialistic things.

Now moving towards Ketu, it is a planet supporting Venus, Saturn and Mercury. Just like Rahu, it does not stand on good terms with Sun, Mars and Moon. Magha, Mool and Ashwini are three Nakshatras that come under Ketu planet. It remains friendly towards Sagittarius, pisces, Capricorn and Virgo sun-signs. For natives of Leo and Cancer, it does not give positive support.

Being a responsible planet of prosperity, the native of Ketu finds wealth, health and fame in life. The Mahadasha of Ketu affects the native for 7 long years. In case, the Ketu is Malefic in your zodiac, it will put your entire life in risk. Rage, conflicts and quarrels are usual in these native’s lives. On the other hand, the Rahu’s dasha lasts for 18 years. In Kundali of a native having Rahul as Malefic, the phase of Rahu Mahadasha would be highly harmful.
