sign in a house. So Rahu and Ketu work as , or for the
following:

occupies the 2nd. So acting as proxy or as an for the Moon, Ketu will signify the
matters of the 2nd, 7th, and 8th.
(e) Ketu is posited in Virgo in Mercury's sign. Mercury owns the 6th and the 9th, and is
posited in the 7th. Therefore Ketu, acting as an for Mercury, will signify the
matters of the 6th, 7th, and 9th.
2. Rahu and Ketu as Planet
Keeping in view the above rule and the rule that a planet gives the results indicated
by its Star Lord, we may say that Rahu and Ketu give:
(1) The results of the Planet it is conjoined with
(2) It gives the results of the Planet(s) aspecting it
(3) It gives the results of its own Star Lord, and
(4) It gives the results of the owner of the Sign occupied by it.
Example: From Birth Horoscope #1
(a) Rahu is conjoining the Moon, so it will first give the results of the Moon - for
example - the matters signified by the 2nd and 7th houses.
(b) Suppose that Rahu is not in conjunction or in aspect with any planet...then Rahu
will indicate the results of its star lord, Mercury, and the matters signified by houses 6,
7, and 9.
(c) Ketu is not conjoining any planet, but it is aspected by the Moon. So Ketu will give
the results of the Moon.
3. Rahu and Ketu as Star Lords
If any planet is in the star of Rahu or Ketu, that planet will signify the matters of the
house occupied by Rahu or Ketu; that planet will indicate the matters of the house
owned and occupied by the Star lord of Rahu or Ketu; and that planet will denote the
matters of the house occupied and owned by the owner of the sign occupied by Rahu
or Ketu.Example: From Birth Horoscope #1
(a) Mars is in the star of Ketu which is posited in the 8th. So Mars gives the results of
the 8th house.
(b) The star lord of Ketu is Mars, and Mars is posited in the 7th, and owns the 4th and
the 11th. So Mars will give the results of the 4th, 7th, and 11th houses.
(c) Ketu is posited in Virgo in the sign owned by Mercury - who is posited in the 7th
and owns the 6th and the 9th. So Mars will give the results of houses 6, 7, and 9.
4. Rahu/Ketu as Significators
Example From Birth Horoscope #1
(a) Rahu represents the Moon, Mars, and Jupiter. So Rahu should be given preference
when we have to consider Moon, Mars, or Jupiter as significator for that matter under
consideration, rather than the Moon, Mars, or Jupiter.
(b) Similarly, Ketu represents the Moon and Mercury. So Ketu should be given
preference as a significator in place of Moon or Mercury.
Rahu and Ketu are stronger than any planet. So, if Rahu or Ketu represent any
significator planet, then Rahu/Ketu should be given first preference as a significator, in
place of that significator planet.
5. Retrograde Movement of Rahu and Ketu
Rahu and Ketu are to be treated as retrograde planets, because their
movement is in the opposite direction.
