Karmic Patterns - Natal Rahu in Leo/Ketu in Aquarius

--The Divine Vision--

GETTING FRIENDS WITH RAHU KETU
(Natives born between 20th June 1997 - 18th Dec 1998, 1st Dec 1978 - 28th May 1980, 9th may 1960 - 9th Nov 1961)

Leo…. No, this should only be written as LEO for it stands for anything that is BIG and at times larger than Life. The fiery sign ruled by the King of Planets, the Cosmic Powerhouse SUN represents the creative aspect of life. Sun as we know is the source of Life Energy, the possibilities with the natives born under strong influence of LEO are boundless. The aggressive temperament, a creative disposition and a JUST DO IT attitude create Great Winners out of them. The fixed nature of sign inculcates in them the habits of self reliance, determination and persistence. They just cannot leave any task or project midway. Sun also represents Self and it’s position will show our face to the World. How well placed are the two (LEO and Sun) in the chart will reflect the general vitality of the horoscope. Sun being majestic, it also rules the favor or the Grace coming from King or what we can say in the present times, Employer and a good placement of Sun will probably leave the person secure as far as the professional life is concerned. In LEO, we are talking of Fire and as fire has a natural tendency to illuminate, the flipside to it can be dangerous too. (in the negative influence, fire can burn out of control). Will and Ego also come under the domain of LEO and Sun and people having strong issues with their Egos make themselves selfish, dominating, high headed and are not rare. The sign governs Heart’s functioning in the human body,

Aquarius, the 3rd Aiery sign of Zodiac talks about intelligence, cleverness and smart thought process. The Aquarians (ruled by Saturn) are best at probing and analyzing and are usually the people who help those around getting out of duality and dilemmas of the situations. They will take into account each and every aspect of the situation and act accordingly. Another aspect of the sign is Communication and intelligence is not of much importance without effective communication. There exists a polarity between LEO and Aquarius. LEO would tell us the area for the creative forces to be worked upon and Aquarius will show us the way that creativity is expressed. A horoscope with a good balance of Aiery element generally produces wise people with a calm disposition. It’s one of the most humble signs of the zodiac and depicts fairness and equality. It represents one’s friends, social circle and social status. The parts of the body it has responsibility for is the lower legs, left shoulder, left ear etc.

The Nodal Placement – Rahu in Leo, Ketu in Aquarius :-

Rahu in Aries was about the self identification, in Taurus the race for possessions and resources was there, in Gemini it was about the sharing of those resources, in Cancer it is with whom the resources are to be shared, and now in LEO it is how creatively and wisely the resources are to be shared. (Here Resources do not mean only the monetary possessions, instead whatever we are carrying with us, our energies, habits, likings etc)
This position will make the person possess unique leadership qualities and a sense of self respect. They are creative people (Nodal axis of Invention) and keep themselves busy with one job or another which helps them make progress in whatever they do. Rahu’s position in LEO tells us that the area of toil remains the tuning of will power. It is a position of struggle and with or without much aid from the friends. It is all about exercising one’s will so as to develop an inner strength. Here the native is faced with certain situations where he finds himself troubled and helpless and looks for a shoulder to lean on and the learning becomes facing and overpowering those situations on his own by making use of his will & creative genius (LEO possibilities) and the day they make up their mind to go independently, they make way to the best possible solutions to the problem. Fair play should become more important than winning the game. Aquarius being a humble sign, the positioning of Ketu here makes one entangled into the problems of others. Actual reason behind is that the person wants to be noticed and this provides him with a sense of satisfaction for his ego. As it signifies the social circle, the native keeps looking for help from the friends around and if there is a mismatch of the expectations, mental unrest and stress starts cropping (practically the native looks for love from the friends around him but is always hesitant of asking for it). His belief becomes that Everybody wants to help him except when he actually needs it which sometimes carry him into a state of loneliness and depression. This tendency weakens his self confidence and is detrimental to the personal growth. Though creativity is a learning, the person is lazy at being creative. The native has to resort to quick solutions to the problems rather that just waiting for the wheel to turn to his side. Relationships are to be taken on a simpler note rather than getting into complexities and the need for love is to be clearly identified. (Rahu in fiery Sign gives a sort of superiority complex).

LEARNING :- Come out of your Doubts. Selfishness is to be replaced by self interest. Personal will (Ego) is to be dropped for service to others. Identify your relationship needs clearly.

God Bless us All
