Applying Ashtakavarga to predict Ketu Dasha

[mercurialman]

Dear Astrologers,

Have you tried applying Ashtakavarga system to predict the results of Ketu Dasha? Obviously Ketu does not have Ashtakavarga points. But some famous astrologers including Sri BV Raman ji have used Ashtakavarga to predict vimsottari dasa results. Then we cannot ignore Ketu from the dasha sequence. So how will this system work for Ketu dasha?

If i have to think about it, possibly it depends on the House position of Ketu and sign dispositor of Ketu.

For example, if Ketu is alone in a sign of jupiter, then could we take the total SAV Bindus in the house Ketu occupies and then the BAV points contributed by Jupiter in the house Ketu is placed, to predict the results of Ketu Mahadasha? So if the house Ketu alone and it has more than 30 points in SAV, the overall results should be good (spiritual experiences) and if Jupiter is contributing more than 4 points to Ketu's house in BAV then it should be overall a good dasha. Does that make sense?

Similarly if Ketu is not alone then, we could additionally look at the points contributed by the planet in conjunction to Ketu to the House Ketu is placed and draw some conclusions?

Regards,
Srini

It is not practical to use sign dispositer of ra/ke.even you can't use BAV OR SAV for any planet.dasas are calculated from moon so you have to use moon astakvarga
But not in the direct way.

@ joyd ji interesting topic....
How to ascertain Rahu/ketu SAV score.
Please guide on this subject.

Thanks.

Rahu and Ketu were cha ya Graham’s so they will represents the sign and star they were deposited in.accordingly there strength will be assessed

[Agog]

@ Vedam what if they are in own stars.
How does one judge them being strong for positive vs them being strong for negative.
Moreover the nodes are rarely given credit for positives even if they are strong for positives.

Thanks

Even if they are in own star it will be in some sign no.rahu might be in own star but it will be in some sign in rasi ,so rahu represents that rasi lord

[Agog]

Ok so if they happen to be in own star and good sign supposedly they gain strength.How would one ascertain such strong node to function i.e give good or bad results.

Hypothetically let's take a chart with ketu in magha & Rahu in satabhisha with them being exact degree opposition they can be in these nakshatrs simultaneously.

Let's presume two examples & the axis be 1-7 & 3-9 for ketu-rahu.
Now this gets us leo rising & Gemini rising respectively.

How would such nodes function? would it be based on the sign lord or i.e sun/saturn or them being in own star is enough to predict there strength.

What if in such example sun and saturn themselves are afflicted or weak say debilitated or in bad house.

How would you judge such nodes who are strong based on being in own nakshatra alone but their sign lord are weak.


Hope my question is clear & not confusing if not please correct.

Thanks.

I shall try to explain

Rahu and Ketu are shadow grahas. Rahu and Ketu become
represent to the sign lord and nakshatra lords. So they can represent
2 or 3 planets. rahu and ketu also represents navamsa lord where it is placed ,or planet placed along with themin the same navamsha.rahu or ketu in their antara will give results of the 4th house and 8th house from their placement in the chart.
For example if Rahu is in the Gemini and in Nakshatra of Punarvasu
then Rahu represents Guru and Mercury.
Similarly if Ketu were in Rahus constellation then Ketu would
represent the planets that Rahu represents and the sign that ketu is
in. So it can be 3 planets
Now to check which planet does Rahu and Ketu are more inclinded to
lean towards as they represnt the sign lord and nakshatra lord we can
check the bindus given by the planets in the position that Rahu or
Ketu is situated. The planet with more bindus is what Rahu or ketu
will tend to act more like for giving timing of results.
Rahu also has 2, 5, 9 and 7th sight.
Rahu and Ketus BAV. were not condidered.
hope the above clarifies .
