Ketu in Gemini

Ketu in Gemini shows that in a past life the person was very intelligent and looked at the world with an analytical gaze. Rahu in Sagittarius shows a passion for creating one's own philosophy.

The person wants to create an ideal world, a teaching, statutes, on the basis of the information he received in a past life. Usually they have their own framework of correctness. The person wants to create his own teaching, relying more on his intuition than on traditional knowledge.

They know how to attract people's attention and find an audience through their own special approach. Jupiter rules Sagittarius. It is the largest planet and its chief task is expansion. Rahu too is responsible for expansion. Therefore the effects of Rahu are further strengthened when it is in the sign of Sagittarius. That is, they strengthen each other's effects. This is considered a very favourable placement when Rahu and Jupiter are not under the influence of malefics. Not every philosophy carries creative energy. For example, the founder of the largest financial pyramid in Russia is Sergei Mavrodi. He was born when Rahu was in Sagittarius. Jupiter (the ruler of Sagittarius) was exalted in Cancer together with Venus (wealth) in close conjunction with Venus (Jupiter 19 degrees, Venus 18 degrees). The Sun and Mars were also in Cancer. An exalted Saturn also casts an aspect upon Jupiter. Here Mars is in debilitation. A debilitated Mars gives crafty, treacherous plans. Millions of inhabitants of Russia fell under the power of his suggestion. It was planned so craftily that even the shares with his photograph resembled Soviet rouble notes with Lenin. The leader of Tibetan Buddhism, the Dalai Lama, was born when Rahu was in Sagittarius. He is very popular in the West as a Buddhist spiritual leader. Rahu in Sagittarius gives a wish to create something of one's own. Such people invent new teachings or give a new direction to a teaching that already exists. The profound teaching of Gautama Buddha is written in the 'Tripitaka', which consists of 40 volumes. Nevertheless, we do not see the Dalai Lama expounding any complex principles of Buddhism. He simply tells people about love, kindness and compassion. He knows how to convey complex doctrines in simple words. I think this has become the key factor in his popularity in the West. Rahu in his chart is under the aspect of the Sun (the state) and Mars (war). He has been in exile since 1959, fearing persecution by the authorities of China. In this life the person needs to learn to live more simply, heeding his inner voice and not losing himself in an endless search for absolute truth and perfection. Mahesh Dharmadasa
