Jupiter is neutral to hi$. ; Rahu and <etu0the Shadow5 Planets Rahu and Ketu are called shadowy planets "y our ancients. hey are not su"stantial heavenly "odies with an o"serva"le "ody shape or $ass li)e the Sun, Moon and other planets. (indu $ythology has in its characteristic way sy$"olised these two parts of a single "ody. According to a >uranic story after churning of the ocean :Sa$udra Manthan; ca$e out a divine elephant, a horse, a physician, the <oddess of wealth and A$rita or i$$ortality. A"out the distri"ution of A$rita there was a serious dispute a$ongst the &evas and Asuras. he Supre$e =ord :=ord Vishnu; assu$ing the shape of an alluring Mohini, too) charge of distri"uting the A$rita with the consent of "oth &evas and Asuras. She so distri"uted the A$rita that all of it was consu$ed "y &evas "ut one a$ong the Asuras had stealthily 'oined the ran)s of &evas and got a share of A$rit "ut was discovered and e!posed "y the Sun and the Moon. he Supre$e =ord cut the Asura in two pieces "ut as he had ta)en A$rita "oth the severed parts re$ained alive though separated. he head got the na$e of 7Rahu7 and the "ody and tail 7)etu7. his $ade Rahu and Ketu eternal ene$ies of the Sun and the Moon. >eriodically they succeed in swallowing the Sun and the Moon :his is during eclipses; "ut they escape as they are i$$ortal. he fact that has since "een universally accepted is that Rahu Ketu are celestial points on the Zodiac with regulated $ove$ent and or"it and they have a distinct and predicta"le influence in horoscopes. he $otion of these points which is always retrograde, can "e calculated as accurately as the position of the Sun or the Moon, through owing to their "eing without su"stance, this cannot "e verified "y visual o"servation. *esterners have na$ed Rahu and Ketu as &ragon7s (ead and &ragon7s ail respectively. Caput and Cauda are the other na$es given to the$ "y *esterners. o understand how these i$aginary points are accurately located and their $ove$ents are calculated we have to consider the apparent paths in the heavens of the two planets the Sun and the Moon, that is, the paths along which the Sun and the Moon appear to an o"server on earth, to rotate. he Sun appears to $ove along an ellipse of which %arth is a focus. he plane of this ellipse is inclined to the terrestrial %4uator at an angle of 01 degrees. he Moon, as the satellite of the %arth $oves round it and its path is also elliptical with the %arth as a focus, and plane of this or"it is inclined to the %4uator at an angle of 0. degrees, so that the planes of the or"its of the Sun and the Moon appear to the o"server on %arth to "e inclined to each other at an angle of 6 degrees. he two points at which the or"it of the Moon cuts the or"it of the Sun are called nodes, and they are e!actly /.8 degrees apart. he point of intersection for$ed when the Moon7s $otion is fro$ South to @orth, is said to "e ascending node and na$ed Rahu, and the point of intersection for$ed when the Moon7s $otion is fro$ north to south is called the descending node or Ketu. 5t has "een o"served that the nodes have a retrograde $ove$ent in the Zodiac at the rate of /B degrees 08 $inutes per year. Rahu and Ketu are said to stay in a sign for a"out /. $onths. Rahu and Ketu indicate one "orn in a low caste# one who $ay have intrigue with girls# is one whose thoughts and actions will "e evil. Hne will resort to outcastes and low "orn as well as in "red people. here is 4uite a controversy a$ongst the ancients a"out the signs owned "y Rahu and )etu and signs in which they are e!alted and de"ilitated. Aor e!a$ple, according to ?ttara Kala$rita an ancient classic on (indu >redictive Astrology Rahu is e!alted in aurus and de"ilitated in Scorpio, vice versa of Ketu. his wor) also assigns the sign A4uarius as owned "y Rahu and Scorpio as owned "y Ketu.

(ffects of the ; Planets in the Twele Houses @ow with this chapter we give effects of various planets in the twelve houses of a horoscope. *e $a)e a start with the effects of the Sun in the Airst (ouse or the Ascendant and the re$aining houses. The Sun in the .irst House or Ascendant Sutras /D0/D5f the Sun is posited in the Airst (ouse or Ascendant, the native will en'oy good health. (e will "e of "ilious constitution and will suffer fro$ diseases of the eye. (e will "e wise and of good conduct. (e will have acidic sto$ach and will "e "ereft of )nowledge and sense. (e will "e highly intelligent, will spea) less, and will wander away fro$ his native place. (e will "e happy. 5f the Sun is in Aries :that is in his sign of e!altation;, the native will get na$e and fa$e. 5f such Sun is aspected "y "enefics, the native will "eco$e highly learned. 5f the Sun is in de"ilitation :that is, in the sign =i"ra;, the native will "e dignified. (e will, however, "e devoid of learning and power and "e "lind. hese ill effects will not "e felt, if the Sun is aspected "y "enefics :Jupiter or Venus;. 5f the Sun "e in =eo, or =eo @ava$sha, the native will ac4uire lordship over so$e territory. 5f the Sun "e in Cancer, the native will "e )nowledgea"le. (e will, however, suffer fro$ "oils in the "ody. 5f the Sun "e in Capricorn, the native will suffer fro$ heart disease. 5f the Sun "e in >isces, the native will "e su"servient to wo$en. 5f the Sun "e in Virgo, the native will "e father of daughters only. (e will lose his wife and will "e ungrateful. he native will en'oy good health if the Sun "e in his own sign =eo, "ut if the Sun is in association with $alefics or "e in his ene$y7s sign or sign of de"ilitation, the native will suffer fro$ fever in his third year. Such unfavoura"le effects will not "e felt if the Sun is aspected "y "enefics. Co$$entsDhe Sun has "een considered as a $alefic planet in (indu Astrology and as a "enefic "y *esterners. *e feel that a planet who is source of light and life to the universe and who represents the creator +rah$a, should not "e ter$ed as a $alefic planet although there is no dou"t that he is a hot and cruel planet. According to this wor) the Sun in the ascendant gives good health to the native and he is of good conduct. his is "ecause the Sun is a planet signifying vitality and 2Sattva guna2. (e suffers fro$ "ilious diseases "ecause the Sun is "ilious in te$pera$ent. (e suffers fro$ eye diseases and is "ereft of children and )nowledge. his can happen when the Sun is afflicted. he Sun "eing a hot planet and a significator of light and vision can therefore affect those parts of the "ody which give light and vision, na$ely, eyes. 5t is not clear how the Sun who is not a significator of children can deprive the native of progeny unless he is the lord of the 6th house :house of children; and is afflicted "y association or aspect. 5t is said that with the Sun in the ascendant, the native will "e "ereft of )nowledge "ut he will "e highly intelligent. hese two state$ents are contradictory. *e "elieve that the Sun unless is dignified will "estow the native )nowledge and learning. Very favoura"le results have "een attri"uted to the Sun if he is in Aries, that is, his sign of e!altation. his is so "ecause with Aries 2as Ascendant the Sun will "e lord of 6th house :a trinal and very "eneficial house;. Moreover the state of e!altation will provide further dignity to an already "eneficial trinal lord. (e "eco$es learned "ecause the 6th house signifies intellectual capacity and when lord of such a house is well placed in his sign of e!altation, the native will "eco$e highly learned. (e also gets na$e and fa$e "ecause 6th house is Bth to Bth house which signifies high learning, "hagya and prosperity. Aor the Sun in =i"ra :that is, in his sign of de"ilitation; unfavoura"le results li)e "eing devoid of learning have "een indicated. +ut it is not clear how the author has ta)en the view that the native will "e dignified when the Sun is de"ilitated in the Ascendant. *ith =eo as ascendant, the place$ent of the Sun there is an ideal position for hi$ and naturally very favoura"le results will follow. he Sun in Cancer as ascendant is said to cause "oils in the "ody. he ascendant represents "ody of the native and Cancer "eing a watery sign, the hot effect of the Sun is li)ely to "ring a"out such trou"les. 5n >isces the Sun $a)es the nativeD su"servient to wo$en. he only reason for this can "e the place$ent of the Sun in a fe$ale and dual sign in which he perhaps loses his do$ineering faculty. *hen the Sun is in Virgo in the ascendant the native will have only daughters and will lose his wife. *hen Virgo is ascendant, the Sun will "e lord of /0th house, that is, the house si!th to Cth :house of wife;. he aspect of the unfavoura"le /0th lord on the Cth house is li)ely to cause the loss of wife. Virgo "eing a fe$ale sign when containing the Sun is li)ely to give only daughters. 5t is also "elieved that Virgo natives generally get $ore daughters than sons. Aor the interest of readers we give "elow in "rief the views given in respect of the Sun7s position in the ascendant, "y other recognised classical te!ts9D +rihat Jata)aD5f the Sun occupies the /st house at a person7s "irth he will "e valiant, o"stinate, will have defective eyes and "e cruel hearted. +ut if Aries "e the ascendant, the person will earn hi$self "ut will suffer fro$ eye disease. 5f the Sun "e in =eo, the person concerned will "e night "lind. 5f =i"ra "e the ascendant, the native will "e "lind and poor as well. 5f the ascendant "e Cancer with the Sun in it, the person concerned will have infla$ed eyes. Saravali states the Sun "e in the ascendant the native will "e la3y, of 4uic) te$per, proud, cruel, valiant and unforgiving. (e will have cataract in his eyes if the Sun "e in Cancer. (e will have defective eye sight, if Sun "e in Aries in the ascendant. he Sun in =eo will $a)e the native night "lind. 5f the Sun "e in =i"ra, the native will "e poor and issueless. Cha$at)ar Chinta$aniDhe native who has the Sun in the ascendant has a good nose and "ody and a high forehead. (e is trou"led on account of his wife, children and fa$ily. (e suffers fro$ "ilious diseases. (e is always travelling. (is wealth is not constant. (e has ups and downs in this respect. @oteD5t will "e seen that there is consensus that the Sun in the ascendant adversely affects the eyes. @or$ally the Sun who is hi$self the source of light cannot ta)e light out of the eyes. his adverse result descri"ed a"ove see$s to "e due to the fact that while in the ascendant the Sun will "e posted in a house of loss and e!penditure, that is /0th to the second house which t7s inter alia significator of eye sight and vision. The Sun in the Second House Sutras 00D10D5f the Sun is in the second house, the native will suffer fro$ diseases of the $outh. 5n his 06th year he will incur wrath of <overn$ent and as a conse4uence will suffer loss of wealth. his will not happen if the Sun is in Aries :that is, e!alted; or in =eo :own sign;. 5f Sun is associated with a $alefic, the native will get diseases of the eye, he will have little )nowledge of ancient scriptures :Shastras; and will re$ain in ill health. 5f the Sun is aspected "y "enefics the native will "e protected fro$ the a"ove evil effects and will "eco$e wealthy. 5f the Sun is with Mercury the native will sta$$er in speech. 5f the lord of the second house is posited in his sign of e!altation, the native will tal) succinctly and clearly, will have )nowledge of ancient scriptures, will "e learned, will en'oy good eye sight. his disposition will cause Ra'ayoga as a result of which native will ac4uire na$e, fa$e and wealth. Co$$entsDSecond house is significator of $outh. (ere affliction of the Sun therefore causes diseases of the $outh. he second house is also significator of wealth. he Sun represents <ovt. herefore affliction of the house of wealth "y the Sun causes loss of wealth "y the wrath of <ovt. he author says that this event ta)es place in the 06th year. his can "e verified only "y practical e!perience. (owever, there is no such effect if the Sun and the second house are aspected "y "enefics :li)e Jupiter and Venus;. 5n the second house the Sun with $alefics is said to cause eye diseases. his is 4uite understanda"le as the second house is a significator of eyesight and vision. As the second house will "e "adly afflicted "y the Sun and other $alefics, the eyesight will "e adversely affected. his disposition will also cause ill health as the Sun signifies vitality and his affliction will wea)en vitality and conse4uently the native will suffer fro$ ill health. 5t is said that these evil effects will not arise if the Sun :in association with $alefics; is aspected "y "enefics. Hur view is that the evil affects will not "e entirely wiped off "y the aspect of "enefics "ut the diseases, will respond to curative treat$ent. (e is also li)ely to ac4uire wealth if the "enefic influence is $ore do$inant than the $alefic influence. 5t is said that if the Sun is with Mercury, the native will sta$$er in his speech. <enerally Mercury who is significator of speech, is co$"ust on account of nearness to the Sun. 5f Mercury is cornD"ust the spea)ing faculty will "e adversely affected. his will not happen if $ercury is not co$"ust. Very favoura"le results have "een indicated in the $atter of speech, na$e, fa$e and wealth if the lord of the second house is in his sign of e!altation. hese results will certainly "e e!perienced "y the native if the lord of the second house in his position of e!altation is placed in houses other than 1,-,., and /0. he view of the other i$portant classical tests in regard to effects of the Sun in the second house are given "elow9D +rihat Jata)aDhe person concerned will "e i$$ensely rich "ut will "e deprived of his wealth "y a )ing and will suffer diseases in the face. >haldeepi)aDhe person concerned will "e devoid of 1- learning, $odesty and wealth. (e will have defect in his speech. SaravaliDhe native will possess cattle and servants. (e will suffer fro$ disease of the $outh. (e will "e "ereft of fa$e and co$forts. (e will ac4uire wealth fro$ the )ing or the thieves "y 4uestiona"le $eans. Cha$at)ar Chinta$aniDhe native will "e learned. (e will possess cows, horses and elephants. (e will incur e!penditure on good causes. (e will 4uarrel with $e$"ers of his fa$ily on account of his wife. All his efforts to ac4uire wealth will go in vain. @oteD5t will "e seen that in essence the effects given "y the authors are the sa$e as given "y +hrigu SutrasD5n fact the views of the latter are $ore logical and $eaningful. The Sun in the Third House Sutras 11DG0D5f the Sun is in the third house, the native will "e "rotherless :no younger "rothers; and his elder "rothers will not survive. 5n the Gth, 6th .th and the /0th years he will suffer fro$ "odily trou"les. 5f the Sun is associated with a $alefic, the @ative will do cruel deeds. (e will have two $others and will "e valourous "ecause when the Sun alone will deny younger "rothers vide Sutra 11, how can he with association of a $alefic give two "rothers;. (e will "e a "rave fighter. (e will have a good reputation and will en'oy his wealth. 5f the Sun is associated with a "enefic, the "rothers will "eco$e prosperous. 5f the lord of the third house is strong, the "rother will "e long lived. 5f the Sun is associated with a $alefic and is also aspected "y a $alefic the fa$ily will "e destroyed . 5f the Sun is aspected "y a "enefic :and has no $alefic influence; there will "e growth of fa$ily and the native will "e wealthy, will en'oy good life and will "e happy. Co$$entsD5t is an accepted principle of (indu Astrology that $alefics in upchaya houses, na$ely 1,- /8 and // give "eneficial results. +ut according to the learned author while the Sun will $a)e the native valourous and wealthy, he will destroy "rothers particularly when he is in association with a $alefic when he will also destroy the fa$ily. he third house "eing second to the second house :house of fa$ily; "eco$es a $ara)asthana for the fa$ily and $alefic influence on the third house will cause destruction of the fa$ily. 5t is said that if the Sun is in association with a $alefic, the native will have two $others. he third house "eing /0th to the Gfh house, it will "e the house of loss for the Gth house :house of $other;. (ence it is li)ely that the native7s $other will die and his father after re$arriage will provide hi$ with another $other. +enefic influences on the Sun, the third house and the lord of the third house will not only enhance prosperity of the fa$ily and "rothers who will also "e long lived, "ut such a disposition will also $a)e the native wealthy and happy. 5f the Sun is associated with "enefics, the ninth house :house of "hagya; will "e "enefically affected "y "eneficial aspects fro$ the third house. 5f the Sun is aspected "y "enefics, this aspect will co$e $ostly fro$ the ninth house. hus the ninth will give favoura"le results ena"ling the native to get na$e, fa$e and wealth. he Sun "eing a planet of vitality will add to the signification of valour and $a)e the native valourous and courageous "ut "eing a cruel planet, the Sun will $a)e the native indulge in cruelty. Hther Views +rihat Jata)aDhe person concerned will possess a good intellect and great strength. >haldeepi)aDhe native will "e $il of strength, valourous, wealthy and generous "ut he will "e ini$ical towards his relations. MansagariDhe native will have no "rothers. (e will do good to his friends and will have wife and children. (e will "e wealthy, patient, of forgiving nature and will "e li)ed "y wo$en. SaravaliDhe native will "e valourous, full of strength, respected, good loo)ing, learned and con4ueror of ene$ies. Cha$at)ar Chinta$aniDhe native will "e full of valour. (e suffers on account of his real "rothers. (e goes on pilgri$ages and always con4uers his ene$ies in the "attle field. (e is provided with co$forts "y the )ing. @oteD5f will "e seen that e!cept in so$e respects, the effects of the Sun in the third house given in the a"ove wor)s tally with those given "y +hrigu Sutras. (owever, +hrigu Sutras has e$phasised the necessity of "enefic influence on the Sun and the third house which is logically $aintaina"le. The Sun in .ourth House Sutras G1D68D5f the Sun is in the fourth house, the native will have defective li$"s, he will "e proud, will "e opposed to the pu"lic and will "e hot constitutionally. 5n the 10nd year of his life he will get congenial environ$ents. (e will then "eco$e respected and successful, will "e learned, attain a high position and will "eco$e valorous. (e will not, however, "e well off financially. 5f the lord of Gth house is strong :"y "eing e!alted; or is in his own sign and is posited in a 4uadrant :Kendra; or trine :tri)ona house na$ely /,6 or B;, he will ac4uire high class conveyances. 5f the lord of the Gth is associated with or aspected "y a $alefic or is placed in a "ad house :1, -,. or /0;, the native will have to do with a low type of conveyance. (e will have no land of his own and will live in other people7s houses. Co$$entsDD5t is said that the native will have defective li$"s if the Sun is in the fourth. his is a very general state$ent Hur view is that "ecause of $alefic influence of the Sun only that part of the "ody can "eco$e defective which is governed "y the fourth house. he state$ent that the native will do well in the 10nd year of his life and will attain high position etc. can "e verified "y practical e!perience. *e have found it correct in only one case so far. 5t is not clear how after getting a favoura"le turn in his life and attaining a high position, the native will not "e well off financially. >erhaps the Sun will not allow hi$ to accu$ulate wealth, +hrigu SutrasDhas given great i$portance to the position of the lord of the Gth house in delineating its effects. his is a very logical and weighty principle. @o house can prosper unless its lord is well placed. he fourth house signifies native7s own land, own house and his native place. 5n spite of the Sun "eing in the fourth house, if the lord of the Gth house is strong and well placed, the native will en'oy the co$forts of his own land, house and native place. 5f the lord of the Gth is ill placed or is otherwise under $alefic influence, the native will "e deprived of these co$forts. 5t is evident that the Sun alone is not good for the signification of the Gth house. 5t is surprising that +hrigu Sutras $a)es no $ention of the $other of which the Gth house is a strong significator. Hur view is that the $other will suffer "y the presence of the Sun in the Gfh house unless the Sun is in his own sign or has "enefic influence on hi$ or the lord of the Gth and the Moon are well placed. he Sun will also adversely affect the do$estic happiness of the native. Hther Views +rihat Jata)aDhe person concerned will have no happiness and will "e trou"led in $ind. >haldeepi)aDhe native will "e unhappy, without friends and relations and any land or house. (e will also lose his paternal property. MansagariDhe native will "e very socia"le, soft hearted, e!pert in vocal and instru$ental $usic, con4ueror, will en'oy co$pany of his wife and wealth and will "e li)ed "y the )ing. SaravaliDhe native will "e unhappy, without wealth and conveyances, paternal house. (e will s4uander away what he has and will "e in the service of a wic)ed )ing. Cha$at)ar Chinta$aniDhe native will always re$ain away fro$ his native place. (e will "e defeated "y his ene$y and will have no peace of $ind. @oteD5t will "e seen that all the wor)s $entioned a"ove spea) of adverse results on account of the presence of the Sun in the Kfourth house. heir conclusions are logical and relevant to the significations of the fourth house. hey do not contradict the views given "y +hrigu Sutras "ut supple$ent the$. Hnly Manasagari has given "eneficial results with which we respectfully e!press our dissent. 5n our practical e!perience, we have seen Sun in Gth house :without any "enefic influence; playing havoc with the lives of people. Hne Ma)ar =agna :Capricorn Ascendant; native had Sun in Aries :e!alted; in the Gfh house. She had at one ti$e "een a leading actress in the 5ndian fil$s. *e have no words to descri"e the wretched life she was leading in her $idDforties when she $et us. @ot "ad off financially :as her horoscope was otherwise good;, she had a very distur"ing do$estic life and had a"solutely no peace of $ind.
