Rahu & Ketu: Your Karmic Axis

The Lunar Nodes, Rahu (North Node) and Ketu (South Node), are shadow planets (Chhaya Grahas) in Jyotish. They cause eclipses and represent the deepest karmic axis of your soul's journey.

Ketu: The South Node of Surrender

Ketu represents past-life mastery, inherent talents, and profound spiritual dissatisfaction. It is a headless body, meaning wherever it sits in your chart, you often feel detached from those areas. While you excel at Ketu traits naturally, focusing too heavily here leads to stagnation. Ketu ultimately desires Moksha (liberation).

Rahu: The North Node of Obsession

Rahu represents the physical incarnation, intense desires, illusion (Maya), and the ultimate lessons you are meant to learn in this lifetime. It is a severed head that consumes without ever feeling full. Moving toward your Rahu placement often feels confusing and obsessive, yet it is where your soul demands massive worldly experience and growth.
