Preface There are some who will say that the Moon's Nodes (Rahu and Ketu) are worthless. Others will claim they help. Who are you to believe? It is through pain staking effort and the collection of many charts that I have been finally able to understand as to how to use Rahu and Ketu. In the horoscopes of several criminals, Rahu/Mars association will be clearly visible.

Some of the learned authors are of the opinion that Rahu and Ketu do not solely produce any significant effect and their influence is also minimum. But there are some authors who say that Rahu and Ketu may cloud the result of a house by interfering with the Sun or the Moon or both, but they do not work independently. Through the last pages of this book by way of illustration, I have very much proved that Rahu and Ketu do work independently and work powerfully.

If you have been taught that the Moon's Nodes have little or no value and you ignore them completely that is your prerogative. If you want to take the chance with your own chart, that is your right, too. How far they are reliable and to what extent they can be incorporated into your methods of prediction will depend on your studies and research.

Introduction Amongst the salient features of Hindu Astrology is the importance and recognition that is given to Rahu and Ketu, the two Nodes of the Moon, physically non-existent, yet regarded and treated as full-fledge planets. The Hindus conceived the Moon's Nodes as the cross-roads of magnetic influences full of potency and gave them the status of planets in so far their effects are concerned. The real character of the Indian Astrology can thus be said to be dependent on these two shadowy points.

A knowledge of Rahu and Ketu has existed from ancient times. That is apparent from the known fact that our predecessors of thousands of years ago were able to forecast Eclipses. The names they attached to these points were accordingly somewhat striking. A monster called the Sergent or Dragon, with little variation of form, was used to depict the general influence of these points.
