The Role of Lunar Nodes (Rahu and Ketu) in Your Karma

In Vedic astrology, the lunar nodes, Rahu and Ketu, are powerful indicators of one’s karmic journey. These shadow planets, though not physical celestial bodies, represent the intersection points of the Moon’s orbit with the Earth’s ecliptic plane. They symbolize past life lessons and future growth.

Learn how Rahu and Ketu reveal your karmic lessons
and guide your spiritual and personal growth.

Rahu: The Head of the Dragon

Rahu signifies desires, ambitions, and worldly pursuits. It represents where you seek fulfillment but may also experience obsession or overindulgence. Rahu drives individuals to explore the unknown, pushing boundaries and expanding horizons.

Ketu: The Tail of the Dragon

Ketu, on the other hand, symbolizes detachment, spirituality, and past-life wisdom. It represents areas of life where you’ve already achieved mastery, urging you to seek inner peace and spiritual evolution instead of material gains.

Their Karmic Influence

Rahu and Ketu are always positioned opposite each other in a natal chart, creating a karmic axis. This axis highlights the soul’s journey: Rahu points to where growth and learning are needed, while Ketu indicates what you must let go of or transcend.

Navigating Their Energy

  1. Balance Is Key: Harmonizing Rahu’s ambitions with Ketu’s spiritual detachment is essential for a fulfilling life.
  2. Periods of Influence: Rahu and Ketu’s planetary periods (Mahadasha) can bring transformative life events.
  3. Spiritual Growth: Meditation, rituals, and understanding their placement in your chart can help harness their energies constructively.

The lunar nodes are gateways to understanding your soul’s evolution. By decoding Rahu and Ketu in your birth chart, you can uncover the karmic lessons meant to guide you toward balance and self-realization.
