Rahu in Gemini
Rahu in Gemini: loves to sing. Anxieties because of the intrigues of enemies, family troubles or problems with the authorities. Such a position creates problems for the spouse and children. (Sri Govind Swarup Agarwal)
Rahu and Ketu are known as aprakasha, the shadow planets. Therefore the classical texts give no description of the placement of these planets in the signs of the zodiac. Since their nature is shadowy, Rahu and Ketu often take on the properties of the lords of the sign in which they are placed. In doing so one must look at how the lord of the sign in which Rahu and Ketu are placed is himself placed. If he is strong, then the possibilities of the shadow planets will also be great, and vice versa. (Indubala)
The karmic task with Rahu placed in Aries — Ketu in Libra
Ketu in Sagittarius means a fruitful past life, which the person spent in travels, in philosophical search, in the development of ethics; he experienced various foreign influences, strove for self-realisation and for the development of his inner life, received spiritual initiation, and acquired freedom, happiness, faith and optimism.
It is natural that one who lived a good life in the past will in this incarnation be full of optimism and light-heartedness. When Ketu acts in such an optimistic key, the person has nothing to worry about.
The only obstacle is that this optimism may grow into excessive self-assurance and expansionism and may lead to a fall.
Usually such people in this life give the world love, joy and freedom. Their mission is to spread the indications of the sign of Sagittarius to the people around them, to elevate their spirit and to give hope to the hopeless.
This is a very philosophical placement of Ketu, and when it acts through its higher vibrations the person may possess an all-embracing spiritual vision of the world. But if Ketu acts through its base aspect, then the person is concerned only with material expansion.
In this case Ketu needs communicative abilities in order to convey a spiritual message to other people. Rahu in Gemini gives this possibility. It will not come so easily, but it is precisely this ability that must be developed in this life. Fate constantly places them in situations where they are obliged to develop their communication skills, whether they like it or not. Over the years these abilities grow in them.
Besides this, they need to work on the other indications of Gemini too — cooperation, comradeship, the coordination of mental and physical efforts, an ability to adapt quickly to a new situation, flexibility, oratorical abilities, scientific rational thinking and writing abilities.
This placement of Rahu-Ketu calls for bringing the energy of the 3rd and 9th houses into harmony. This is a balance of materialism and spirituality, of logic and faith, of common sense and spiritual revelation. It will not be possible to achieve this balance without conscious effort.
This placement of Rahu-Ketu gives the world writers, spiritual and religious leaders, philosophers, teachers, dictators, inveterate gamblers, politicians, stock jobbers, brokers, discoverers, philanthropists and sportsmen of all kinds.
When Rahu acts through its higher aspects it prompts the person to be a conductor of the universal reason and to labour for the good of others, but his methods will be unconventional and will not always correspond to generally accepted ethics and rules. If Rahu acts through its lower aspects, this may give excessive egoism, an inclination to manipulation and to lying.
The placement of Jupiter points to talents of the past, and the placement of Mercury points to the present sphere for applying one's efforts.
Examples: Adolf Hitler had Ketu in Sagittarius in the 3rd house together with Jupiter, and Rahu in Gemini in the 9th. This made him an ambitious conqueror whose expansionist spirit knew no limit. He actively manipulated other people's opinion and did not disdain deception for the sake of attaining his goals. He violated all the peace treaties that he himself had signed. Such is the manifestation of Rahu in Gemini.
Another example is Krishna. He made use of his diplomatic genius in order to unleash a world war, but in this case it did not pursue egoistic aims. He did it to free the earth from corrupt and tyrannical kings. According to His divine plan He arranged everything so that in the end good would gain victory over evil.
Rahu in Gemini and Ketu in Sagittarius: Ketu in Sagittarius shows that in a past life the person was fond of philosophy, religion and higher knowledge. He accumulated great knowledge and travelled to holy places. Rahu in Gemini shows that in this life it is laid upon him to analyse the knowledge he has received and to use it for the good of society. In this life the time has come for the person to give away the knowledge and skills he assimilated in past lives. They consider themselves very clever and correct. Ketu in Sagittarius gives them the feeling that they know everything. Despite this false feeling, they need to learn to listen to other people too. Some consider that Rahu is exalted in Gemini. At the very least, everyone agrees that this is one of the best places for Rahu. The person needs to develop his weak points in the sphere of communications, of conversation and of the ability to listen to others. Gemini is a sign of duality. Therefore Rahu here makes the person flexible and accommodating. People connected with journalism and communications may have Rahu in Gemini.
Boris Berezovsky was born when Rahu was in Gemini. Originally he was a mathematician (an analytical mind) and later became the owner of the largest media group in Russia. Another example is Jeff Bezos, one of the wealthiest men in the world, the founder of the internet shop 'Amazon.com'. He began his business by selling books online. Now his company is one of the largest online shops in the world. He too has a connection with journalism: he is the owner of the newspaper 'The Washington Post'. (Mahesh Dharmadasa)
