Kala Sarpa Yoga

When all the planets are on the same side of the Rahu/Ketu axis, Kala Sarpa Yoga is formed. The life of a person with such a combination in the map is like a rollercoaster: the movement goes either rapidly up, then sharply down. When the transit nodes pass through their natal positions, the jolt is felt most strongly.

If Ketu first stands behind the Lagna, and then Rahu, the unfavorable Kala Sarpa Yoga gets rid of its evil qualities and becomes Kala Amrita Yoga. The location of Rahu in Vishakha nakshatra at 20-26° Libra also eliminates the negative effects of Kala Sarpa. However, if any planet is connected to one of the nodes, Kala Amrita Yoga ceases to operate.

Kala Sarpa Yoga usually does not affect mental capacity person, his physical health and life expectancy. The problems are mainly related to external circumstances. It makes itself felt during the periods of the Lunar nodes or during their transit through the Ascendant, the initial Moon or the Sun. The aspect of a benefic planet on the lagna, lagnesha or lunar nodes reduces negative effects.

Manifestations of Kala Sarpa Yoga especially annoy a person when transit Rahu/Ketu approach their natal degrees.

Based on the book "Vedic Astrology" by Sri Govind Swarup Agarwala

Actively used in astrology, the Lunar nodes are, in fact, fictitious points, and not physical bodies. These are the places where the Moon's orbit intersects the plane of the ecliptic. Thus, at these points the most active interaction of solar and lunar energies takes place. Accordingly, they turn out to be closely connected with the karmic task of a person, with his movement through life, and are sometimes called the “Axis of Fate”. The nodes move in the opposite direction along the zodiac, spending about a year and a half in each sign.

Rahu - the north or ascending node, also known as the "Dragon's Head" - is the point at which the Moon crosses the ecliptic, moving from south to north.

The influence of Rahu on a person and character occurs with the help of the Ketu-Rahu lever. These two shadow planets represent opposite energies, Rahu carries the energy of expansion and expansion, Ketu - contraction, satiety. Rahu is the future, Ketu is the past, and the balance between these extremes is in the here and now.

The influence of Rahu on a person

In the horoscope, Rahu shows the new karmic possibilities of a person in this life. In particular, the position of Rahu in the chart shows the sphere of new growth in this incarnation. The sector in which Rahu is located, a person needs to expand his energies according to the indicators of this house, work on improving his energies. In this area, a person has great opportunities, but he is afraid to take the first step. However, if he manages to overcome himself, as a result he will receive a reward in the form of unprecedented success.

Two houses and two signs occupied by Rahu and his dispositor determine the path chosen by the soul for this incarnation, which at the same time shows karma. It is believed that a harmonized and elaborated Rahu gives prosperity in the area of ​​life that it occupies. However, it should be remembered here that this is a planet of extremes and it does not know the golden mean. This means that it is very easy to slide from the higher aspect of Rahu to the lower one.

So on the way home you can buy meat, alcohol, take a pornographic film and after sunset you really want to relieve stress. Several hours of such a manifestation of the energy of Rahu can fall from the very high level. Hours of watching TV and serials also affect in the same way.

Rahu in ignorance

Alcohol, drug addiction, a strong immersion in the illusory existence, a tendency to eat junk food, genetically modified and filled with chemicals. Clouding of consciousness, schizophrenia, severe mental illness, addiction to hard rock, obscenities, swearing, watching horror films. Such a person likes to live in dirt, disorder and quickly fills the space in which he is located with dirt. The desire to live in a room filled with smoke, listen to mind-numbing music, addiction to computer games and TV. Materialistic consciousness, annoying nature, beautiful landscapes.

Rahu in passion

A person with the energy of Rahu in passion prefers alcohol in the form of good wines. He is able to be a good speaker and influence the crowd with his passionate speech. Love for extreme sports, situations tickling the nerves, the desire to walk on the edge. Rahu in passion gives a certain fanaticism and blind adherence to the idea, which eventually turns into ignorance, where the struggle for the idea is associated with the killing of innocent people. After all, passion cannot be sustained for a long time and after a while passes either into sattva or into tamas.

Huge material desires, fanaticism, desire to own magical items, the desire to manipulate other people, engaging in spiritual practice for the sake of achieving power, prestige and other material goals

Rahu in goodness

The energy of Rahu in goodness gives excellent intuition, the ability to see other worlds, to clearly predict the future. A person under the influence of this energy tries to live in nature, to eat as naturally as possible. Rahu in sattva takes a person beyond the limits of maya and gives an understanding that everything in this world is transient and there is no point in becoming attached to it.

Rahu Harmonization

Humor is considered an excellent harmonizer of Rahu, without sarcasm and vulgarity. Recitation of prayers and mantras, the mantra Om namo bhagavate Varahadevaya, can be recited daily. It is recommended to read Rahu mantras after sunset. Harmonize Rahu and all the canonical prayers of various religions.

It is also helpful to drink warm sweetened milk at night - it calms the mind. Refusing to eat meat, switching to natural food, keeping everything clean, especially in the place where you sleep. Honey, sea buckthorn, oranges enhance the favorable influence of this planet.

The illusions that Rahu creates in our minds disappear in time and space, just like smoke in the air. However, the smoker continues to smoke for the momentary pleasure that flows from it while we continue to chase mirages, and within these illusions lies the joy of our existence.

Rahu symbolizes the strongest desires and intentions that lead the soul to birth. Its influence is like looking through a cloudy magnifying glass - such a look distorts, obscures and confuses. Thus, the location of Rahu in some area of ​​the horoscope symbolizes our distorted attitude to the issues of this area. The influence of Rahu is especially unfavorable in the following cases:

• All the planets of your horoscope are located between Rahu and Ketu, the so-called "Kala-Sarpa" and "Kala-Amrita" of yoga.
• Rahu is located on the axis of the 1st and 7th houses.
• Rahu is placed in the 5th house.
• Rahu is associated with one or more planets in your horoscope.
• Rahu is in a debilitating or hostile constellation.
• Rahu is your "Atma-karaka".
• Birth near an eclipse: hence Rahu is conjunct the Moon.
• The location of Rahu in the following houses: 1,2,4,5,7,8,9,12 is considered unfavorable - therefore, it needs to be corrected.
• Your age is 41 - 42 years.

Signs of the destructive effects of Rahu: increased sensitivity and excitability, fears and anxieties. Hallucinations, addictions, despondency and gloom, uncontrolled fantasies are possible. Difficult to fit in modern life, few friends, asociality. Life is wasted in useless pursuits. Phobias. Physical indicators - weakness of the immune system, increased susceptibility to infectious diseases, nervousness, trembling of the limbs, insomnia, pallor and nervous indigestion. Communication with the physical body is weakened, loss of control over body functions is possible. This can lead to various nervous and mental illnesses.

The ancient sages, having tracked the relationship between the position of the planets and the events of human life, developed special corrective means to mitigate the intensity of difficulties and increase the positive potential of the planet. These observations are known as upayas or means of harmonizing planetary energy.

Mantras as a means of harmonizing the influence of Rahu

Recite the mantra for 49 (108) days or longer. During the day, it is advisable to read the chosen mantra at least 108 times. It is advisable to repeat the mantra at the same time. For example, after sunset, when the energies of Rahu intensify.

The incarnation of Lord Vishnu in the form of Varaha or boar corresponds to Rahu. The boar saves the Earth and pulls it out of the universal swamps. Rahu in his more exalted incarnation has the qualities of a savior and redeemer, which manifests itself in the form of the goddess Durga, his superruler, as well as in the incarnation of Lord Vishnu in the form of a boar. Honoring the Varaha-avatara allows you to get out of the swamp of ignorance and shake off the many snakes that live in it, making the transformation of Rahu-energy. It is recommended to read the following mantra:

• OM NAMO BHAGAVATE VARAHADEVAYA

You can also chant Durga mantras to soften the energies of Rahu. You can read the bija mantra. From Sanskrit, the word "bija" is translated as "seed". The bija mantra is the "seed" or main mantra, which is not translated in any way. In fact, all other mantras arise from it. Having no translation, the bija mantra, however, has a metaphysical meaning. Based on this, mantras have a certain power and are used in a very specific way. At the same time, it is believed that bija mantras are the most powerful, because they do not carry a semantic load for the mind, but they have a certain working vibration.

• Bija mantra Durga - DUAM (read as DAMM, when pronouncing the letter "m" the tongue rises to the sky). You can also read the mantra OM SRI DURGAYE NAMAH, the mantra should be read with your face turned to the southwest.
• The name mantra for Rahu is “OM RAHAVE NAMAH!”
• Bija mantra - "OM RAM!" (pronounced with a long "a")
• You can also use Shiva's mantras - "HUM" (with a long "y"), destroying illusions and cleansing the psyche from negative influences and suggestions

If Hinduism is not close to you, then in order to harmonize the energy of Rahu, you need to choose the aspect of the Mother of God, which has the power to protect and destroy sins, for example, the prayer of the divine mother of seven arrows. Seven arrows piercing the chest Holy Mother of God, denote the seven main human sinful passions, which the Mother of God can easily read in every human heart and help to cope with them.

Auspicious actions harmonizing the energies of Rahu

• Do not kill (if possible) insects, as well as protect insects from their natural enemies (arrange an anthill, for example).
• Saturday post.
• Feed the gulls and dogs.
• Drinking warm sweetened milk at night calms the mind and harmonizes the energies of Rahu;
• Observe several principles: ahimsa (non-violence), refraining from intoxication, a ban on gambling;
• Keep everything clean, especially where you sleep. The science of Vastu says that if the house is dirty, then the energy of Rahu enters.
• Eat oranges, sea buckthorn, honey - they enhance the favorable influence of Rahu and weaken the negative;
• Throwing blue flower(s) into running water for 42 days.
• The most difficult thing is to learn to live in the present without worrying or fearing the future.
