Ketu-III

Ketu is also a planet for mysticism. The twelfth house represents awakening into super-consciousness and moksha. It is the mind that awakens into the Divine Reality and understands that the mundane life is but an illusion. Hence a contact between the fourth and twelfth houses is an indication of super-consciousness. The twelfth house from Ketu and the fourth house from the Moon should likewise be related to confirm this initial finding.
We will consider the birth charts of Ma Amritanandmayi and Raman Maharshi. Both of them are spiritually highly evolved saints.
We will first examine Ma Amritanandmayi’s chart. She was born on September 27, 1953, at 0910 hours at Vallikunnu, India, 9n10, 76e31, time zone 0530 hours east of Greenwich. Rahu is in the fourth house in Uttar Asadha constellation of the Sun. The Sun occupies the twelfth house. The fourth house from the Moon is in Leo and the twelfth house from Ketu is in Gemini. The Sun and Mercury are associated in the twelfth house.
The birth data for Raman Maharshi is as follows: birth on December 30, 1879, at 0100 hour near Madurai, India, 9n50, 78e15, time zone 0530 hours. In Raman Maharshi’s chart the owner of the twelfth house is in the fourth. The fourth house from the Moon is in Virgo and the twelfth from Ketu is in Taurus. Mercury and Venus are associated in the third house from the ascendant.

Ketu-II

The eighth house from the ascendant is the house of death, occult and the supra-mundane worlds. The fourth house is the house of the mind. When the two are related the mind of the individual is able to take cognizance of and interact with the phenomenon of the eighth house. Ketu is the planet governing these matters. Hence the eighth house from Ketu also represents these matters. The Moon is the planet signifying the mind. Therefore the fourth house from the Moon will also stand for the mind. When the two houses relate the mind is able to identify, distinguish, recognize and interact with the other worlds and their denizens.
Some people have psychic ability and they make use of these abilities to earn their livelihood. These are the professional psychics. Such persons have their tenth house closely related to the eighth.
Saturn is the planet that governs profession. The tenth house from Saturn will also therefore show profession. The tenth house from Saturn therefore should be related to the eighth house from Ketu in such charts. The chart included in this post is one of a psychic who had taken it up as a profession. The individual was born on March 4, 1934 at 0318 hours at Saint Paul,MN,USA, 44n36,93w06, time zone 06 hours west of Greenwich.
Jupiter and the Moon are together in the tenth house. Jupiter is the owner of the fourth house and the Moon of the eighth. This shows a professional psychic.
Jupiter projects a very close aspect on Saturn. Jupiter owns the fourth house from the Moon. The eighth house from Ketu is in Aquarius. The tenth house from Saturn is in Libra. Venus and Saturn are together under aspect of Jupiter confirming the fact.

Ketu-I

Ketu is a planet of mysterious functioning. It causes weird developments and growth. It gives rise to most unusual defects. It governs astral entities and is capable of causing trouble through them. It has the ability to confer supernatural powers, to induce development of extra-sensory perceptions and to promote appearance of psychic powers in an individual. Ketu is a prime principle of mysticism. It gives rise to saints and mystics.
When we study an aspect of life from a house from the ascendant, we should also, according to Brihat Parashar Hora Shastra examine the same number of house from the karaka for the aspect. Reference is invited to the Chapter entitled Karakatwas of Grahas. The principle is that if we study children in a birth chart, we should not only study the fifth house from the ascendant, we should also study the fifth house from the natal position of Jupiter.
The sixth house from the ascendant stands for defects. The sixth house from natal Ketu will stand for weird defects. The ascendant represents the physical form of a person. Sun governs this form. The first house from the natal position of the Sun will also therefore represent the human form. When the ascendant is related to the sixth house from it, the human form will have some defects. When the natal position of the Sun is related to the sixth house from natal Ketu the human form will have some weird defect. This is the birth chart of Simone Baker.
She was born with shortened arms, each with three-fingered hands beginning at the elbows. She was one of the last Thalidomide babies. The birth data is as follows:
27 Sept 1962, 0010 hour, Reading, England, 51n28, 0w59, Time zone 1hour East. The Sidereal ascendant is at 27°02’44” in Gemini.
The owner of the sixth house is Mars. It is placed in the ascendant and is in close sambandha with Mercury that owns the ascendant. The sixth house from Ketu is again the ascendant. The owner of the natal position of the Sun is Mercury which is in close relationship with Mars as we have seen.
