Decoding ‘’Rahu’’ and ‘’Ketu’’ in Hindu Astrology:The belief in the influence of planets on human life is a deep-rooted concept in ancient wisdom that forms the basis of Hindu astrology. Among these players are Rahu and Ketu also known as the North and South lunar Nodes or shadow planets. These two don’t have physical form like other planets of our solar system but their astrological significance cannot be undermined hence believed to affect different aspects of human life. This article explores various symbols, mythologies, astrological implications and practical applications related to Rahu and Ketu in Vedic Astrology.

The Legendary Origins of Ketu and Rahu:An understanding about Rahu and Ketu needs one to comprehend myths behind them since they are closely associated with early Indian cosmological beliefs.

According to Hindu mythology, Swarbhanu was an Asura (demon) who disguised himself as a Deva (god) to taste the nectar churned out during Samudra Manthan (the cosmic oceanic churning) which would grant immortality (amrita). Vishnu cut off his head using Sudarshan Chakra after realizing this fact thereby separating it into two parts: Rahu(the severed head) and Ketu(rest of its body).
