Relationship Problems – Rahu & Ketu in the 1st or 7th

When it comes to astrological compatibility many people are concerned with the placement of Rahu or Ketu in the 7th house.  Which is why I created the videos at the bottom of this post.

Rather than worrying over, it’s a better idea to get a skilled and intelligent astrologer to assess these influences.  Or if an astrologer is too expensive to hire, I’ve found the following relationship reports to be very accurate at determining our individual capacities in relationship.

Relationship Capacity for Men

It may also be a good idea to get one of the reports, linked to above, to compare to the usual stinging analysis a traditional astrologer will give for the results or the nodes on relationship.  The reports consider many more levels of relationship potential and do not focus on only one variable.

The following recordings explain this concept and the basic understanding of the nodes in the 1st or 7th house.

When it comes to success in life Rahu or Ketu placed in the 1st can be particularly worrisome.  Rahu and Ketu are complex planets and we cannot assess them correctly without looking at the status of their lords and the planets influencing them.  That is the key to determining how Rahu or Ketu will work specifically, for good or for bad.

Lajjitaadi Avashtas Vedic Astrology Audio Course: Learn the Most Important Planetary Combinations to Understand Your Life and the Lives of Others

There are specific planetary combinations called Lajiitaadi Avashtas that explain the state of our planets.  They explain the real reasons why Saturn can be so difficult!  Not because of his innate cruelty, but because he has so many enemies!  Saturn on his own, is great for focus, determination, hard work, the strength of your immune system and detachment, but get him mixed up with the Moon, Mars or the Sun, and you get different grades and reasons for frustrations, sorrow, illness and delay.  Based on where these combinations are placed in your birth chart, can show where the most difficulties in your life are and why.

Or maybe we think Jupiter and Mercury and Venus should all get along nicely, since they are all considered gentle or benefic planets.  Yet, when we look at the time period when these planets get together, we get broken expectations or are misled by false knowledge.  This is not what we would think with such nice planets interacting, yet, it is true because Venus and Mercury (the micromanager and decision maker) starve Jupiter of his ability to see the bigger picture.  Grace and faith are traded for the minute details!

Why would a Vedic Astrologer Use the Tropical Zodiac?

The debate over using the Tropical vs. Sidereal Zodiac has been continuous.  For 10 years I used the sidereal and got good results.  However, after some enlightening realizations and research found that the Tropical Zodiac with Vedic techniques works much better from a “scientific” point of view.
