What is your take on Vedic astrology?
Do you notice the number 7 in the graph above? That is Libra, the seventh zodiac sign. The ascendant is the sign for this person. The rising symbol is what it’s called. If your ascendant is “1,” your sign is Aries; if it is “2,” your sign is Taurus; “3” is Gemini; “4” is Cancer; “5” is Leo; “6” is Virgo; “8” is Scorpio; “9” is Sagittarius; “10” is Capricorn; “11” is Aquarius; and “12” is Pisces. I hope you can tell which sign is your rising sign/ascendant by now. Because the ascendant is the starting point, the first house in the birth chart will be in the ascendant, and the remaining houses and zodiac signs will be placed in an anti-clockwise orientation after that. Once you understand this, you can figure out where the planets are in your birth chart, for example, the Sun is in the 5th house in the sign of Aquarius in the chart above. You’ll need to know the meanings of houses, zodiac signs, and planets in order to examine your birth chart, which you can learn about in this article.

What are the positions of Rahu and Ketu in my horoscope?
In Vedic astrology (Jyotish), the solid real planets Moon, Sun, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter, and Venus, as well as Rahu and Ketu, are used to analyze a chart. Our birth chart is formed by the arrangement or combination of planets at the time of our birth over the location of our birth, and it depicts our soul’s journey on this terrestrial level. The chart will reveal our personality as well as the types of relationships we will have in the future, as well as our work, finances, and health, to name a few topics. Furthermore, the Vedic system uses planetary periods and transits to predict when karmic events will occur in our lives.
Rahu and Ketu are places of churned up energy, pregnant with mysticism and importance, rather than planets of physical substance like the other seven planets. They are the spots where the orbits of the Moon and the Earth cross. The Moon’s Nodes, or Rahu and Ketu in Vedic language, are two locations of electromagnetic disturbances that are directly opposite each other and have come to be known as the Moon’s Nodes.
RahuKetu is the Sanskrit word for the Moon’s Nodes together. The Moon’s north node is Rahu, and its south node is Ketu. They are always 180 degrees apart, or precisely opposite each other.
In a Vedic astrology chart, they create the karmic axis, which indicates the types of karmas that each person will encounter in this life. They also reveal the aspects of your life you will concentrate on or strive for perfection in.
Lord Visnu, according to Indian mythology, resolved to immortalize the Deities (the seven planets).
Visnu had churned the water in order to extract a sacred nectar known as amrita, which he intended to use to immortalize the planetary Gods. In order to get the nectar elixir, Visnu had all of the planetary deities lined up. However, a demon named Rakshasha, who had the appearance of a dragon, had infiltrated the temple and disguised itself as a divinity in order to become immortal. Visnu drew out his sword and sliced the demon in two once he realized he had been duped into delivering the nectar to the demon. The dragon’s head became Rahu and its tail became Ketu, but they could no longer be killed because they had consumed the nectar. When the nodes, Rahu, and Ketu realized how upset they had made Visnu, they made amends and were granted planetary status. So, through the Rahu Ketu axis, Rahu and Ketu are a highly powerful force that functions in our lives to regulate karmic effects and situations. Rahu represents the dragon’s head, while Ketu represents the dragon’s tail.
The position of Rahu in the Vedic astrology chart indicates the person’s major concentration. Someone with Rahu in the ascendant sign (first house), for example, may be highly self-centered and may appear to others to be quite selfish. However, if that person wishes to be in a relationship, they must have this concentration, and it is their challenge to balance their personal demands with those of a partner. This is where a person with Rahu in the first house faces difficulties. Rahu in the 10th house of career is associated with a strong concentration on career and prestige, as well as a strong desire for power and status recognition. Those born with Rahu in the 6th house will be driven to aid others through healing and public service. Rahu in the 4th house will put a significant emphasis on household life. In this way, the Rahu Ketu axis can be used to add a new layer of significance to the chart, helping to illuminate each individual’s life purpose and direction, independent of their rising sign, Moon sign, or Sun sign.
Rahu signifies concentration and where you are most likely to focus your efforts, as well as unquenchable ambitions. To establish some harmony in our life, one of our problems will be to inhibit or regulate desires. Rahu in the tenth house can imply workaholism-like tendencies if left unchecked. Too much time spent at work might lead to an unhappy partner and, as a result, relationship issues. As a result, we can understand how our passion may also be a challenge. Rahu can also symbolise riches and power, which is why many Chinese people worship the dragon to bring fortune into their lives.
While Rahu is concerned with worldly and earthly issues, Ketu is more interested in bringing in past life wisdom that is relevant to this life and urging us to let go of emotional baggage and guilt. It will also push us to let up of intellectual reasoning to some level, as Ketu is more concerned with faith than with intellectual reasoning. In order to force us to change our psychological patterns and move on, Ketu can cause obstructions and anguish in our life. It may manifest as unfounded worries, encouraging study of the subconscious mind, which, in turn, can lead to significant changes and progress. Ketu is an idealistic planet that is concerned with transformation and submitting the ego to a greater power, which might lead to enlightenment.
So, on one side, we have Rahu, who is highly concerned in desires and the material world, and on the other side, we have Ketu, who is very involved in the spiritual realm. Both of these forces are at work in your life, stirring up your goals but also drawing you toward resignation. Herein lies the human predicament, as well as the character of our internal conflict.
Rahu also represents the ego and the body, thus it will urge us to seek fulfillment, success, and power in a certain area of our lives. In order to achieve its goals, it may be manipulative and deceitful, leading us to believe that we are looking out for the interests of others rather than our own. It is stated that all politicians have a strong Rahu! We can’t perceive the games Rahu is playing in our lives since he’s buried in our subconscious mind. This is why, in the Vedic and Yoga traditions, finding a Guru to aid you on your search to let go of the ego is considered vital, as it can be quite slippery and deceptive. Ketu, on the other hand, is associated with renunciation, liberation, and ultimate liberation from material concerns. Ketu is also associated with the soul. The Kundalini is raised when Rahu can shift his focus away from material gain and unite with Ketu. Rahu can rise from the root chakra to join Ketu in the crown chakra, resulting in union and enlightenment.
In the meantime, most of us will have to let our Rahu guide us into many various situations and sensations in each of our incarnations, knowing that true and lasting fulfillment in these areas is really an illusion. Once that realization has penetrated far into our mind, we may be ready to combine our Rahu and Ketu energies in order to reach Nirvana.
Is it possible for me to read my own kundli?
Because it is regarded as the Vedas’ eyes, it should only be used when it is absolutely necessary. when you’re ready This is a serious science, and failing to do so can be disastrous. “Do not read your own Kundli,” it is urged, especially to people with only a smattering of information.
What does Lagna mean in astrology?
In Jyotia, the first point of interaction between the soul and its new life on earth is called the Hour Marker. The Rashi and Nakshatra of the Lagna represent an individual’s “Atman” (Soul), whereas the Lagna Lord represents the Horoscope’s Ruler, and thus the Rashi & Nakshatra where the Lagna Lord is positioned is equally important, as the Lagna Lord absorbs the traits and qualities of that specific Rashi & Nakshatra.
Is Vedic astrology more accurate than Western astrology?
Are the Rolling Stones superior to the Beatles? Is indica better than sativa? Do you want to tell the truth or take a chance? These are the kinds of questions that need to be considered, as well as the kinds of decisions that need to be made. Vedic astrology is far more intricate than Western astrology, making it both more accurate and more difficult to grasp for beginners. Furthermore, others argue that because the cosmos, as well as our beating hearts within it, is continuously in flux, Vedic astrology, which accounts for this flux, delivers more acute insights and practical knowledge. I believe that the more you know, the better off you are, and as an indecisive Gemini rising, I strongly advise getting a personal reading from a specialist or experts who are knowledgeable in both schools of astrological thought. Shine brightly.
