Rahu is an obsession and is the North Node of the Moon and Ketu is the South Node of the Moon. Rahu and Ketu are the eternal demons that exist within us. These are the negative forces in our mind which synthesize and purify the mind. Rahu is very powerful and it brings past-life desires in this present life. They are the soul’s lesson in every lifetime as they are not a physical planet they are shadow planets. They operate on the subconscious level. They are karmic planets. A person needs to work on those areas of life where Rahu and Ketu axis fall in the birth chart. Rahu is the immature child within us. He wants everything he likes. He is our deepest subconscious material desire. Rahu is an obsession over the things that we need to learn as a soul lesson in this life. So that we should be free of them, but usually through many painful mistakes and subconscious imagined fears, and hypnotic attachments. Ketu is the inner parent who knows everything. Ketu is our past life experience which we already know. This is why Ketu brings doubt and sharp criticism to the areas of life where he sits in the birth chart. He is eternally unsatisfied, he only observes what is missing.
Both Nodes are the illusion of what we don't know and what we know. It is the push and pull of Rahu obsession and Ketu doubt teaches us the lesson of life. So that we can liberate from this world and be one/merge with the universe.
When axis of Rahu and Ketu fall in Scorpio and Taurus, the nodes are considered debilitated. This is the axis of "security and insecurity".
Why is Rahu considered weak in scorpio? because here is matching of his qualities. Rahu and scorpio sign present the same qualities they both denote, obsession over things, restlessness, insecurity, deep rooted attachment, fear for unknown things, immaturity, addiction, emotional excitement, revengeful, passionate, impulsive, transformation through unpleasant experience. Rahu’s energy gets magnified when it comes in Scorpio sign. Restlessness and immaturity of Rahu in Scorpio leads to a lot of emotional pain as Scorpio is already emotionally painful and fearful of losing.
The same thing happens with Ketu. Ketu and Taurus sign represents the same thing. They both denote security, stubborn, resistant to change, clingy, attached to material things, service oriented, hard work, and creative. Here Ketu’s energy in Taurus becomes magnified. It becomes more attached, clingy, stubborn and so on. Here ketu becomes very strong in conclusions and resistant to change.
When the Nodes are reversed, with Rahu in Taurus and Ketu in Scorpio. Rahu in Taurus becomes stable, less restless and less painful. Ketu in Scorpio becomes much more willing to dig deeply into things, we are certain of based on our past experiences. As Rahu and Ketu act on the inner self. During the time period of Rahu and Ketu the person suffers psychologically. They suffer emotionally due to suppressed desires, pain of loneliness, abandonment, or rejection of unnecessary worldly desires. At the end of the Rahu and Ketu period there is total change of personality due to churning of emotions and they are forced to transform. Because of going through tough times mentally they suffer mental stress and health problems also.
Maa Durga is the deity of Rahu and Lord Ganesha is the deity of Ketu.
