\u201cThere is another important transit, one that place once in 18 months. This is the transit of the shadow planets. In Vedic Astrology, these planets are called Rahu and Ketu. In the mythology of Vedic Astrology, they are snakes that create a significant impact in the lives of people.\u201d <\/em>— Dr. Pillai<\/p>\n

If something were about to cast a shadow into some areas of your life, wouldn\u2019t you like to know about it and to know what to do to keep those areas bright?<\/p>\n

Rahu & Ketu Change Zodiac Signs in 2020<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The two \u201cshadow planets\u201d Rahu and Ketu are going to change their Zodiac sign locations on September 22, 2020 in North America (same day as the Equinox). The transit will occur on September 23, 2020 in India.<\/p>\n

During their 2020 transit, Rahu will be moving into Taurus, and Ketu will be moving into Scorpio.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rahu & Ketu in Science<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Unlike the \u201cbright planets\u201d which can be viewed with the human eye or through a telescope, Rahu and Ketu do not have a visible form. They are calculated \u201cpoints in space\u201d, also called \u201cnodes\u201d. They are points of ecliptic where the plane of the Moon\u2019s orbit intersects the planes of the Sun\u2019s orbit.<\/p>\n

In Vedic astrology, the \u201cnorthernmost\u201d point or ascending node is called Rahu, and the \u201csouthernmost\u201d point or descending node is called Ketu.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Even though Rahu and Ketu are energetic vortexes or \u201cimaginary\u201d points, they have regulated movement. When a transit of the Sun and the Moon is close to these nodes, either a Solar Eclipse or a Lunar Eclipse can occur.<\/p>\n

The only \u201cvisible\u201d phenomena of Rahu and Ketu are the eclipses in which \u201cshadows\u201d obscure the Sun or the Moon. This is why they are sometimes called \u201cChayagrahas\u201d or \u201cShadowy Planets\u201d.<\/p>\n

Astronomers and astrologers have known about them for centuries, and this knowledge is how in ancient times they could predict eclipses in advance.<\/p>\n

Rahu & Ketu in Mytho-Therapy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The energetic points in space associated with Rahu and Ketu are each ruled by an archetype called Rahu and Ketu. This is a mytho-therapy story associated with these archetypes:<\/p>\n

A clever demon heard there would be a party in heaven where the nectar of immortality would be served. He was not invited to the party. However, he had the \u201cout of the box idea\u201d that he wanted to drink the amrita, nectar of immortality, that came from the churning of the Milky Ocean.<\/p>\n

He disguised himself as a god and \u201ccrashed the party.\u201d He got over to where the drink was being served.<\/p>\n

The Sun and the Moon guessed his identity, and they alerted Vishnu. Vishnu threw his Sudarshana<\/a> (discus) weapon at the demon, and this sliced the demon in half.<\/p>\n

But, it was too late. The demon had already begun to drink, and he had already swallowed the nectar. He was now immortal.<\/p>\n

So he was now given a job to become the ruler of two vortexes in space. The head of the demon is known as Rahu, and the tail is known as Ketu.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Both Rahu and Ketu are considered \u201ctricky\u201d energies, and this understandable since they started out with a demon form. They are often a bit mysterious. Some astrologers give a rule of thumb: Rahu functions a bit like Saturn, and Ketu functions a bit like Mars.<\/p>\n

Rahu Can Bring About Unexpected Change<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Rahu is moving into the Earth sign of Taurus, symbolized by a bull, an animal with four feet firmly on the ground. Here Rahu can trigger some focus on self-reliance and self-sufficiency. He can cause us to examine places in our life where we need to become more \u201cgrounded\u201d.<\/p>\n

Rahu has the head of a snake, and the body of man. As the \u201cupper\u201d portion of the demon cut in half, he does not have a stomach, and thus Rahu is never satiated. This means for some people with an afflicted Rahu, his influence can create unending appetite or even addictive tendencies.<\/p>\n

Some snakes have a poisonous bite, and Rahu is capable of destroying. He is can trigger a \u201cfall\u201d in position such as losing a job or a fall into depression.<\/p>\n

With Rahu\u2019s influence, we may find ourselves shedding some old patterns and becoming more open to new ideas, including in the area of money matters while he is in Taurus. Rahu may make us more aware of any dissatisfaction we feel around money. This restlessness can motivate us to become receptive to more progressive or innovative ideas.<\/p>\n

Rahu can help us pay attention to anything that feels agitated or stirred up and to seek positive transformation. For example, to counteract frustration about money, some people may want to explore Dr. Pillai\u2019s teachings about SHREEM BRZEE sounds for prosperity more deeply or participate in free global SHREEM BRZEE chanting community calls<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A classical description of Rahu is:<\/p>\n

\u201cGaping mouthed, sword, shield, trident, granting wishes, on a lion and dark colored is fixed Rahu.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is important to note there is a positive side to Rahu, in that he can grant wishes. It is said Rahu\u2019s blessings flow towards those who are humble and respectful.<\/p>\n

Sometimes a crisis is the thing that causes a further awakening and helps us grow in humility.<\/p>\n

Challenges of Rahu can include:<\/p>\n
