🌑 Introduction: Understanding Rahu and Ketu’s Karmic Play
In Vedic astrology, Rahu and Ketu are known as Chaya Grahas (Shadow Planets). They represent karmic baggage, unfinished past life desires, and the axis of transformation.
While Rahu drives endless desires and material pursuits, Ketu brings detachment and pushes you toward moksha (liberation).
As Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra (BPHS) explains, Rahu is like Saturn, causing separation and obsession; Ketu is like Mars, triggering detachment and inner turbulence.
Although these planets are not physical, their impact is deeply psychological and spiritual. Through proper remedies, one can balance their disruptive energies and lead a more harmonious life.
