The Mythology of Rahu and Ketu

The science of Astrology deals with the celestial movements, happenings and their impact upon the human life. As per as what this science suggests, the heavenly bodies affect us in mystical ways, in both positive and negative aspects. These heavenly bodies are the planets, stars, satellites and even some mythological bodies, which do not exist physically. There are the two bodies described by the Vedic Astrology, which do not have any physical existence, but calculated mathematically, having a major influence over the negatives of the Earth.

When the satellite of the Earth, the Moon, on its orbit, passes through the epileptic, while upon its northerly trajectory from north to south, this intersection is known by the name of the Dragon's header or Rahu. Just exactly the opposite, when the Moon crosses the epileptic on its southerly trajectory, that intersecting point is known by the name of the Dragon's tail or Ketu.

 

The formation of these two bodies took place when the churning of the ocean by the Gods and Demons happened. A demon transformed himself into a God, so that he could have the Elixir, the outcome of the ocean's churning. Before this demon could drink the elixir properly, he was beheaded by Lord Vishnu, where his head formed the Rahu and his body formed the Ketu.

Rahu is the body which signifies non-religious people, foreign trips, faulty logic, serpent, falsehood and hate speech. Ketu signifies medical practice, high fever, small pox, disturbed mind and eye problems. 

The Cat's Eye stone is one of the most important gemstones in the world of Astrology, which deals with the powers of the mythological planet Ketu. Usually, this gemstone is believed to benefit instantly to the people who are into gambling and speculations. But, there are many more benefiting powers, which are owned by the Cat's Eye gemstone.

Also known by the name of Lahsuniya gemstone, this stone absorbs the continuously vibrating energy of the positive Ketu and transfers this energy to the wearer. This transfer of energy strengthens the aura of the wearer, which protects him/her from any danger or trouble due to the external negative forces. In addition to this, the Cat’s Eye gemstone protects its wearer from any kind of mishaps, accidents and the secret enemies.
