I received many requests for a by sign summary of the Node Transits. I think it is helpful to give a short summary of the nodes in a simplistic way to help understand their meaning and application in our lives and how their transits practically play out through the communication from the cosmos assisting in the delivery of our karma's.
This is a very short summary of Rahu and Ketu as they deserve a separate and more honourable explanation.
RAHU KETU
Rahu and Ketu are points in space where there is occurrence of eclipses. They are not physical planets which can reflect light. Rahu and Ketu are also sometimes referred to as shadow planets. Rahu is the north node of the moon and Ketu is the south node of the moon. Rahu and Ketu are always placed opposite to each other (7th from each other)in the birth chart.
Rahu makes you crave all of the materialistic things in life, money, cars, notoriety. Rahu very intelligent and trick it wants to get things done through shortcuts. It is one half of a Naga (Dragon/Snake from the Vedas) that was cut in half. Rahu is it’s head. That is enough of an image to tell you what it is going to do.
Rahu sits in is the house where we have the least experience. At the same time it is the house that we become obsessive about. We want to do whatever it takes to conquer what the that house represents this is due to its the malefic nature. IT can be very unscrupulous and aggressive in achieving its desires. It is wild and unpredictable.
Rahu brings a worldly desire that is insatiable, its element is Air and therefore can be easily modified by any planet who joins it. Rahu likes to cloud our judgement and our perception, creating illusion. It makes us obsessive
Ketu represents moksha and spirituality. It’s the opposite of Rahu. Ketu is liberation and non attachment. It helps to remove what no longer serves us and brings us closer to our highest wisdom. It leads us through the maze of material illusion, that is if we turn inward
Ketu wants to get detached from the worldly things and go towards spirituality / higher learnings. The house Ketu is in is the house we have expertise in and we no longer are interested in it. We won’t feel the need to achieve the things of the house ketu sits this can lead to neglect. Ketu is the other half of the Naga the lower half where the waste is released
Rahu and Ketu are about expansion and hard work. Expanding the self and our consciousness and the path we must take to develop and reach our destiny. Rahu represents new territories and Ketu the secure place we know well and fall back to when difficulties kicks in
Rahu can act like Saturn and Ketu like Mars and neither are ever satisfied
The summary below is a general overview there are many things to consider in a chart to accurately detail how it will impact you personally.
