Rahu
Rahu and Ketu show the play of “Raga-Dwesha”, the attractions and repulsions that take place constantly in the mind of a sub-conscious level. They are the factors that create the mental agitation and lack of mental peace.

Rahu’s afflictions can be related with subconscious turmoil coming from unresolved situations from previous lives.

It indicates a need to understand the unconscious and subconscious mind and bring the unresolved issues into a conscious state.

Rahu’s attraction to the dark and hidden areas can easily tune to lower or negative astral entities and lead to adharmic actions. Beware of wrong type of spiritual practices which can damage or open too much the astral body. Avoid negative places and people and any kind of intoxication. Be aware and sublimate the strong inner desires.

Rahu is related with strong compulsive desires and fears which are usually unconscious and come from the frustrations of previous lives. They can easily turn into addictions.

Rahu’s Yogic remedy is basically to introspect, recognize and detach from the mind’s strong desires.

Channel and express your personal ambitions and desires toward a higher and spiritual goal, without becoming obsessed and without expecting powers or astral experiences.

Overcome fear by developing spiritual  strength, esoteric knowledge, faith, devotion and detachment.

Ketu
Ketu shows a need to renounce the lower Ego, the materialistic attachments, and change the previous “Samskaras” or mental impressions and tendencies, we bring from the past lives.

Ketu shows something we may have done too much on the past and now there is a need to compensate for that. Ketu feels guilty about the personal ego and mistakes done in the past.

Ketu shows a need to spiritualize the areas of life indicated by its house and sign placement, or the planets it conjuncts. It usually does that by creating separation or dissatisfaction towards the related area of life.

The best ways to manage the Ketu energy is by spiritual practices like seclusion, meditation, introspection, renunciation, study of ancient spiritual disciplines and Vedanta philosophy, following the intuition, understand death and the ephemeral nature of the material and sensual world.

Both Rahu and Ketu have to be understood as an axis, which shows the play of “Raga and Dwesha”, the desires and repulsions that swing the mind and steal the inner peace.

Understanding their patterns is most important for solving and working out the karmas and inner conflicts.
