Saturn and Venus are friends and protectors. Even though it is the son of the Sun it is against him; one represents the day while the other night. Astro Motive Astrology by Astrologer Dr. C K Singh

House of Saturn  

The planet is associated with the boundary of any house. As it acts just the opposite of the Sun, so the main entrance of the house will be located in the west. If the last room of the house is situated on the right-hand side of the entrance and is utterly dark, then it will give very good results. If sunlight enters into the room, it means confrontation between Saturn and the Sun and total distraction.

The house of the Saturn dominated person has stones laid in it. Old wood might have been used in building its door frames and pillar.

Rahu

Astrology also does not accept physical existence of Rahu and Ketu. They are known as Chhaya graha (shadow planets). The function of Rahu and Ketu, it is believed, is to put obstacles and not allow any work to be completed.

According to the mythological references, Rahu is the son of the demon Harinyakashyap's daughter Singhika. In Puranas, it is referred to as a snake who stung the Sun.

Characteristics

Rahu is black, blue or smoke colored. It is very ugly, terrific, tall and has a gigantic and huge body. It apparently looks like an old person and has a prominent chin. Its eyes are small like that of an elephant or it is single eyed. It suffers from ailments related to acidity. It is non-religious, foolish, hypocrite and enjoys speaking ill of others and slandering their reputation. It is a liar and shameless creature. It is as selfish as a cat and is always on the lookout for destructive ways.

The person ruled by Rahu is found of collecting things but does not take care of them properly. In its favorable position Rahu helps in unveiling secret mysteries. It helps one in obtaining justice, is social reformer, but it believes in ancient traditions. Astro Motive Astrology by Astrologer Dr. C K Singh

Rahu governs the head portion of the body, arms, chin, nape and thoughts. It regulates conspiracy, plot hatching, deception, lying, forming a group, black marketing, spreading rumors, dreams, etc.

Relation with zodiacs and other planets

Rahu holds his position in the zodiac Virgo. It has an exalted position in the house of Gemini and is debilitated with Aquarius.

Friends:  Mercury. Venus, Saturn, Ketu

Enemies:  Sun, Moon, Mars

Neutral:  Jupiter

Rahu according to Lal Kitab

Rahu is the lord of imagination and thinking capability of man in the universe. It helps man in protecting him by vanquishing enemies. It soothes the person on being hurt.

Rahu is the lord of the blue expanse of the sky. If it is favorable it is capable of making the world bow before him, but if malicious, it can harm the person by way of lightening, earthquake, volcano, theft, robbery or any kind of deception.

Rahu. and Ketu do not have an, mount in the palm of the hand but are reflected as net (Rahu) and trishual and swastika (Ketu). Rahu is pleased by donation of radish and dropping coal in flowing water. If Rahu is weak in a person's horoscope, he should give broken lentil gram (Masoor Dal) to the sweeper in the morning. It is also beneficial to give money as charity to the sweeper. Barley can be kept at the bedside and distributed among the animals or poor.

House of Rahu

There may be an unseen hole in the right-hand side of the house when the person under the influence of Rahu is entering his house. There may be an outlet of water just under the main entrance. The neighbor living just opposite the house may be childless or no one might be living in that house. Terrace of the house might have been renovated several times but the walls might have remained the same. Dirty water might be accumulated just beside the house or there may be smoke emitting from the next door.

Ketu

Like Rahu, Ketu is also a Chhaya graha (shadow planet), i.e. it is not believed to have an independent existence as a planet. It is associated with Saturn.

Characteristics

Ketu is strange looking, black white or smoke colored. The person dominated by the influence of Ketu is lean and short. The upper portion of the body is heavily built but the lower part is comparatively thin. He has big ears and the temple region is quite prominent. The eyes are red and he has loud voice. He is possessed by inferior desires, is obstinate and cruel in temperament. If Ketu is favorable the person proves to be extremely loyal to his master or anyone he considers as his mentor.

Ketu governs ears, feet, almost the entire body except the head portion, backbone, urinary tube, etc. It regulates penance, silence, salvation, greed, slandering names of others, speaking, hearing, etc.

Relation with zodiac and other planets

Ketu is associated with the zodiac Pisces. It holds an exalted position when placed in the house of Sagittarius.

Friends:  Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Rahu

Enemies:  Sun, Moon, Mars

Neutral:  Jupiter

Ketu according to Lal Kitab

Ketu is a great advisor, a messenger of peace and the lord of voyage. It is the planet which extends its support to the person till the end of his life but if it is unfavorable, it beats the person in some way or the other and deprives him of everything. No matter how badly it may afflict a person but he never goes to the extreme of killing him. Astro Motive Astrology by Astrologer Dr. C K Singh

Ketu tends to be beneficial if it is placed with Jupiter. It acts as a seat of Jupiter on which Jupiter meditates or sits like a faithful dog of the saint which is none else but Jupiter.

Ketu tends to be a means to salvation. It is generally pleased by offering chapatis to dogs.

House of Ketu

The house is generally related with children. The environment is not good. The people living there often face deception. The house is located in a corner. Either there are houses on three sides with one side vacant or there is a house on one side while the remaining three sides around the house are open. There shall not be more than three sons or grandsons. If there is one son, then he shall have three grandsons but if he has three sons then only one son and grandson shall survive. There will be a road leading to two sides from the front of the house. One of its adjoining house would be in ruins or an open field where dogs roam about.

Friendliness and enmity between planets

Normally we find that the seven planets are friendly with the planets which fall into 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 12th position from their original triangular zodiac. The remaining planetary lords of the zodiacs are enemies. If any of these is both friend as well as enemy then he becomes neutral.

This can be explained by an illustration The original zodiac house of Sun is Leo. Moon is the lord of its 12th house whose zodiac is Cancer. Hence the Sun and the Moon are friends. Mars is fourth (Scorpio) from Leo and (Lord of ninth Aries). Therefore, they are friends. Similarly, the zodiac Gemini of Mercury is in the eleventh house of Leo. Hence Mercury tends to be enemy but Virgo is in the second house of Leo. Therefore, Mercury becomes a friend. Consequently, Mercury becomes neutral to the Sun.

If we carefully study the relationship of the planets, we discover that no planets besides Rahu and Ketu are inimical to Moon. Jupiter is not inimical to any planet.

Relationship of Rahu Ketu is determined on the basis of divine and demonic planets. They are enemies of the divine (Dev) planets like Sun, Moon, Mars and Jupiter and friendly with Venus, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu and Mercury. Astro Motive Astrology by Astrologer Dr. C K Singh
