Remedies for Rahu and Ketu!

When influence of Rahu increases in your life, one needs to work on increasing the properties of Jupiter. In short Jupiter represents stability, positivity, intelligence and wisdom. It is a defensive planet that protects us against the low forces and helps us to maintain balance. Now here if I need to talk about Rahu dasha and its impact, it somewhere brings down the property of Jupiter during its time. How? Try reading below-

Rahu represents confusion, illusion, delusion, mental distortion, distractions, tendency to waste time, tendency to imagine yourself as superior. And since it also represents high ambitions and desires, so alongside it will not be wrong to say that it represents less peace and more greed. Mostly all the karakatva of Jupiter seem to be getting affected during Rahu’s period. As per astrology’s very basic rule, good placement of Jupiter in a female’s chart represents good husband and marriage. Ever thought why it is the only planet that indicates balance in married life and sustenance? Because it represents peace and stability. If the area of marriage is being influenced by strong Jupiter, girl will have a responsible partner by her side, with whom marriage will not be a struggle; somehow it will be a stable association. So in context of the question, it is important to increase the property of Jupiter, when Rahu’s effect can be seen as growing and interfering with the course of life. When Jupiter is strong and well placed, Rahu’s energy will not be able to harm you much. Jupiter represents purity of thoughts and thoughtfulness and Rahu almost tries to kill it.

Ketu represents detachment and non materialistic version of life. When Ketu period hits, the best way to get rid of the the problem is to surrender rather than trying to take a control of any situation. In Ketu’s period, Ketu Shanti Pujan can help to some extent and there are so many remedies one of which is feeding dogs. Ever thought, why it has to be dog and not any other any animal. Because dog can be seen as the only animal who knows to love in an extremely selfless manner. Ketu tries to put you in a zone, where you need to forget about yourself and be of service to others. Feeding dog subsides the damage caused during its period because native is coming in close contact with a being(dog) that is all about selfless love. Ketu tends to bring disability in the materialistic and worldly course of life and cuts off several matters, which were not really meant to go ahead, matters that you were trying to control but were somehow not meant to last etc. Ketu will attack worldly matters during its time and promote spiritual progress by putting you in a dark phase and stage of isolation. In short, Ketu dasha can be a tough phase to handle at times, so for that praying to Lord Ganesha is suggested. We look at bhagwan Ganesh as Vigha Harta. All the obstacles that are intended during its period will take its way, but by believing in the energy of lord Ganesha, one can seek blessings for lessening the trouble.

Whether it is a Rahu or a Ketu Period, one needs to observe the energy and role of these two planets and then moderate their actions and lifestyle based on that. Both remedy and the aforementioned suggestion when executed together will help native to survive these phases effectively.

Link between Ketu and Dogs in Astrology!

When native is undergoing Ketu’s period, he is recommended to feed dogs as a part of remedy. Let’s understand why..

Again there are so many explanations accompanying the link between Ketu and dogs, however I am going to pen down the one that relates and reasons well with my understanding.

Ketu represents detachment and selflessness. Ketu’s energy is blind in its form and flows in one direction vigorously, irrespective of whether the direction is right or wrong. Dog represents selflessness and unconditional love for his master or anyone he loves. Ketu wants native to forget about his own self during its time and be of service to others instead of self. That’s exactly the nature and the very fact about dog’s existence. Dog keeps his master first and never worries about his own self. Dog’s energy just flows in one direction, for it is all about unconditional love and selflessness and it matches the energy of Ketu.

Ketu wants native to lessen his desire during its period and practice detachment.Every attachment in our lives is treated as a selfish act which is intended towards fulfilling our desires. So is the very reason Ketu period usually cuts of one or more chapters durings its period from native’s life, for it is trying to teach you detachment and selflessness.

By feeding dogs or probably giving shelter to one, native remains in close and frequent contact with dog. Dog’s energy helps native to understand the rythym of Ketu’ time period well. And since native gradually begins to absorb the energy of dog, he slowly beigns to understand what selflessness and being of service to others can mean.

In few cases, depending on unique placements in the birth chart, which indicate harsh results of Ketu, it is even recommended to pet a dog, for it holds the possibility of eliminating any major concerns indicated in the birth chart.
