Effect of Ketu in 1st house in Leo Ascendant
What is the effect of Ketu in 1st house in Leo ascendant and Rahu in the 7th house in a horoscope (Ketu in Magha Naks & Rahu in Shabh)?
Opposite attracts. A man is attracted to a woman. A woman is attracted towards a man and that is very natural. Every man wants to be a woman’s first love and every woman wants to be the man’s last romance!
Ketu 1 and Rahu 7 native marry someone who is the exact opposite to her nature! 360 degrees. And that makes the bonding stronger - that is the beauty of their being together!
7th house is the house of ‘mating’ - in plain words - sexual relationship. The quality of ‘mating’ is based on the quality of the lordship of Rahu and Ketu. When the seventh house lord is placed positively - sexual pleasures and satisfaction - is guaranteed. Rahu 7 native is sexually very active. ‘Too much sex’ is the outcome of Rahu 7 - while ‘too less sex’ is the outcome of Ketu 7.
Rahu 7 is direct sex. Rahu is not going to wait - he is going to jump in the bed and ‘just do it’ - there is more of sexuality in Rahu 7 - than real love.
But for RAHU 7 - there is more of sexuality than real love!
Marriages fail, relationships face challenges when RAHU KETU capture the 1st and 7th house or vice versa.
The primary reason for failure is a lack of understanding. Here - relationships are formed - but they are more based on ‘passion’ - ‘sexual attraction’ - than real love! And so many times - with Rahu 7 - marriages struggle - and with KETU 7 - marriages fail.
The question is not how can a marriage succeed - because there are millions of couples who are not sexually satisfied by their marriage partner and yet they would not break their marriage. Simply to maintain the so-called status of marriage.
No matter what the fake hypocrite society say - but the key to a successful marriage is based on the depth of sexual union. If sexual life remains great - then marriage stays - then relationships remain stronger. RAHU 7 provides the sexual power - but it is too much - and if the partner is unable to ‘respond’ - then the marriage or relationship fails.
The most commonly striking feature of this placement is - DIVORCE.
Love marriages are the most vulnerable to the possibility of a DIVORCE. And that is the reality of today’s world. Why love marriages fail more than arranged marriages?
For the simple reason - you have fallen in love without bringing the head (RAHU) in between. This love of yours is initiated by your heart. The heart is not stable - it keeps wavering - because you are still to meditate - still to stabilize the heart. And a heart that is not stable - it can CHANGE at any time - and this is the greatest RISK of any love marriage.
Stability of the HEART is only available to those who meditate. To those who are turning inwards. Always remember - in your love story - LOVE is the FIRST STEP - but after LOVE - friendship should take place - else relationships can break.
People move into love with such great enthusiasm, with such great hope and fantasy. With high hopes, they enter into love and within days it is gone! In fact, the honeymoon is not over and the love has gone. What is happening? And then the whole thing becomes a drag — dragging, ugly, and one somehow manages, pretends… hypocrisy.
Once love has failed once, twice, thrice, one starts feeling hopeless, one starts feeling that it is all nonsense, just a dream. It doesn’t happen, it is not real, it is not true — a hallucination or an autohypnosis but nothing more.
To create friendship - Rahu 7 native have to become more understanding. And to bring a certain depth of understanding - Rahu 7 native should meditate - turn inwards - only then the possibility of saving the marriage or relationship is possible. Ketu 1 makes the native ignorant of his or her health. The native’s identity is moreover through the Rahu 7 - a certain obsession towards the life partner is seen through this placement. Native becomes possessive of the partner - and that brings along many miseries that ultimately if not addressed with maturity - can lead to Divorce or a breakup or separation.
But when will the ‘lovers’ meditate? They have no time to look within - they are madly in love with each other - the hearts are dancing, the hearts are singing - the hearts wants to become ‘one’! The urge to connect ‘sexually’ is so much that it all becomes too fast - and many times the native feels cheated.
If there is no direction to the heart - no meditation - someday the heart is going to CHANGE - boredom is going to strike - and with boredom comes the risk of a breakup - a divorce!
And so love marriage can last only if the lovers become more and more aware. If they bring a certain quality of understanding within.
True love is born out of understanding - says the Buddha! And understanding comes only through ‘awareness’.
Arranged marriages are far easier to survive. Simply because they are not born through the heart - but through the HEAD (RAHU).
Rahu 7 generally find herself or himself in an arranged marriage.
And the HEAD (Rahu 7) is super calculative. The intellect is of the head - and the intellect has logic and mathematics and it has a stability that is available to everybody. That is why intellect can be trained - there are schools and colleges and examinations for it - but there are no schools for the heart, no examinations. The heart cannot be trained. You have fallen in love - but you haven’t yet dissolved your EGO! For a while, the warmth of love - the madness of love ‘covers’ this EGO - but after a while, the EGO pops up and it is this EGO that eventually destroys your ‘love marriage’ - love is killed by EGO. Love and EGO cannot go together for long. They cannot keep company.
You can love - only if you become a ‘Nobody’ - if you remain a ‘somebody’ - then love cannot happen.
When you love - surrender not to the person whom you love - but surrender to love! And then the possibility of successful love marriage is guaranteed.
RAHU 7 is highly calculative when it comes to finding a life partner. Such a woman or man generally settles in an arranged marriage setup. This is a marriage arranged by the society - experience, calculation, and know-how are all used for this kind of marriage. Things are more lasting in such an arrangement. It is true that the height of love marriage is not touched but at least the feet stay planted firmly on the ground. There will be no great showers of bliss as it is during the love marriage - but a little trickle of happiness and unhappiness continues. And those who desire for showers of bliss, generally get lost in the desert of misery - that is what happens with many love marriages. Arrange marriage remains on the moderate pace - moving ahead with little happiness and unhappiness - but not touching the heights of bliss and heights of misery - something that love marriages experience!
RAHU 7 is for an arranged marriage. Generally - if other aspects are supporting and RAHU's house lord is well-placed - then such arranged marriages survive through many thick and thins of life. Remember - the arranged marriage is neither born out of love nor will it collapse through the disappearance of love. Because such a marriage is not created out of love, the question of love disappearing does not arise at all. Arranged marriage is a social institution, based on the experience of thousands of years, and this experience gives the heart no chance; the whole matter is decided by the intellect.
Marriage is one thing. And Love is another.
Love has no relation whatsoever to the intellect; it is quite unconnected to thought. Just as meditation is thoughtlessness; so is love. And just as meditation cannot be managed by the intellect, so it is with love. Meditation and Love are two names of almost the same experience. When meditation happens through contact with another person - we call it love. And when love happens in a person without any contact with anybody else - we call it meditation.
Love and meditation are the two sides of the same coin. Meditation and Love are names of the same door seen from two different places. Seen from the outside, the door is called love. Seen from the inside it is called meditation. If you arrive from the outside, the label is love; if you arrive from the inside, the label is meditation.
RAHU 7 is never confused when it comes to selecting his or her marriage partner. They are very much in the HEAD and generally marry in an arranged marriage setup. Much of the native’s energy is spent on the marriage partner. The marriage partner or the sexual partner becomes the ‘center point’ - and the life of the native continues to revolve around this ‘center’.
KETU 1 in MAGHA signifies a native - who is spiritual by nature - but falls in love or marry a person who is intensely material by nature! Opposite attracts. Rahu in Aquarius sign in its own nakshatra provides a very intellectual husband or wife. Foreign connections are seen. Magha & Satabhisha - are totally opposite polarities - attraction is natural and differences in the thought process is also natural.
The partner is highly sexual by nature - demands more sex and the native - if falls short of sexually satisfying her partner - then many times adultery is also seen through this position.
Rahu Ketu in the 1/7 axis is generally not a good placement. The person lacks clarity of vision- is generally chased by the opposite sex - if a woman has Rahu in 7 - then she is followed by strangers - has to face certain challenges when dealing with the opposite sex. KETU in Ascendant - generally spoils the health - native is not bothered about her health - she is more focused on the ‘other’ person in her life - the life partner.
KETU spoils the ascendant - the base of the whole chart.
RAHU fuels the house of sexual union - which is the base of marriage life. Here sex is demanded - and the demand never ends. And if the demand is not met - then either the native or the partner starts ‘looking out’ for possible new companionship.
The person becomes helpless. And if the ascendant lord is weak - then it becomes more difficult! After all who would want to have a ‘shadow axis’ (RAHU-KETU) - right on your head when you are born?
Wearing the gemstone of the Ascendant lord is a must - but one has to see if it is truly beneficial by observing all possible dimensions of the ascendant lord.
Rahu 7 is very much interested in sex. Rather obsessed. Sex before marriage is many times seen through this placement. Because Rahu loves to do all those things that are against the social norms! And since we all are living in a RAHU AGE (KALI YUG) - in the coming years - it is going to become very very difficult to find a virgin man or a virgin woman for marriages! The idea of marrying a woman who has never been ‘touched’ or a man who never had any sexual relationships is going to fade away with time.
Ketu 7 denies sexual pleasures or sexual satisfaction. But RAHU 7 provides a highly passionate sexual life - so much - that the person ‘wants’ sex until the very late years of his or her life.
RAHU KETU becomes more intense and decisive when they fall in the Kendra houses - 1,4,7,10 - and so the results of RAHU and KETU are more intense for the native. Rahu Mahadasha or Ketu Mahadasha grills the native - so much that many have committed suicide!
RAHU KETU in 1/7 axis - in some unique cases - also affect the sexual organs. Many times the functioning of the sexual organs is affected in some way or the other. Diseases related to sexual organs is also seen.
Basically, it is a shadow - the shadow of denial (KETU) Ascendant and the shadow of desires (RAHU) - Rahu in 7th - means a native who is ‘looking’ out for sexual union to which we call marriage or a relationship. Rahu 7 is desirous of having an intense sexual relationship with the opposite sex - in plain words - someone who is ‘SEXY’ - and is born to finish her or his unfinished business of satisfying his or her sexual desires (Rahu 7).
Marriage becomes the focus point. Either you are entangled in your marriage life because of your obsession towards your partner or because of the problems created by your partner. But either way - the person’s energy is spent largely on and around the life of the marriage partner.
Either your life partner becomes a friend or the worse enemy - depends on the placement of other planets.
There was a man - he had many sexual affairs - then he came back to India - pretended (Rahu) as if he is such an innocent virgin man. Then he ‘choose’ a perfect bride - who would follow his orders. Marriage happened. The bride realized what a cheat this man was (Rahu 7) - and from day 1 - this man, his sister, and his mother - they all started harassing this poor bride. After one year - a baby boy was born - but the man would not spend much time with his wife - he would pay more attention to his sister, his mother - and one day a small fight took place - and the man kicked this woman (his wife) out of his house. After 2 years of intense court fight - finally, the woman filed for a divorce. And the woman made this man so miserable - that she claimed his property, big fat alimony and basically stripped this man’s wealth. This man had Rahu in 7th house. As mentioned earlier - trouble from life partner is seen - if the 7th house lord is not positive. Here - his 7th lord - Moon was placed in 8th house. And 8th house lord (sun) was placed in 8th from 8th - 3rd house! The main reason for his divorce turned out to be his sister (3rd house - 8th from 8th)!
So many terrifying marriage stories are heard when RAHU is placed in 7th. But at the same time - when RAHU’s Nakshatra Lord, House Lord is placed well - many stories of a successful marriage is also heard.
Woman with RAHU 7 are highly attractive and attracts many men - which at times can also become a problem.
A man with RAHU 7 also has a magnetic personality and generally, women are attracted to them.
In case of divorce scenarios-
KETU 7 - divorce happens generally because of the partner - who is engaged in an extra-marital affair.
RAHU 7 - divorce happens generally because the native himself or herself is engaged in an extra-marital affair. Or is not understanding towards the life partner. Brings ignorance to the marriage life - leading to sudden upheaval in marriage life.
But there is always a catch:
- If RAHU KETU is moving in Chalit Chart - then I have seen couples with this placement - having successful marriages
- If RAHU KETU is aspected by Lord Jupiter - not much damage is seen to the marriage
- If the Lord of 7th house is positive - and if RAHU’s nakshatra lord is also positive - then a highly passionate marriage is seen - which last longer than expected.
In this case - RAHU KETU being at home (in its own nakshatras) - the damage is less than it would have been.
KETU 7 - generally delays marriage. love marriages are seen more with KETU 7 than with RAHU 7. Marriage happens generally after the 30s.
Rahu 7 - since the birth itself has been for having the desire of getting into a deep union - which is marriage - marriage generally takes place without delays. Before the 30s - the person is found to be married.
The native with this placement generally lives with a ‘No Head’ and follows either the life partner or some ‘other’ person’s advice.
Now if the life partner turns out to be a good match - then the native’s life is all set for many wonderful moments - so this is a placement that can either make the native’s married life a heaven or a hell. There is no middle ground - you are either in Hell or you are in Heaven - when Rahu Ketu hover over your 1st and 7th or 7th and 1st cusp.
Yesterday - a man asked “Does marriage destroy LOVE?”
The question is wrong. The real question should be “Do you destroy love in marriage?
And the answer is ‘Yes’. Because you fail to become a great lover. Understand this - this of great significance. You are so much in a rush that you meet a woman — the canvas is there. You immediately become a lover — you start painting. And she starts painting on you. Of course, you both prove to be foolish — painted fools — and sooner or later you understand what is happening. But you never thought that love is an art. You are not born with the art, it is nothing to do with your birth. You have to learn it. It is the most subtle art. You are born only with a capacity. But first you have become a great lover. Only then your love can last - only then your marriage can last - only then there is a possibility of celebrating love.
Learn to love. Don’t be in a hurry for marriage, learn to love. First, become a great lover.
Love means giving unconditionally.
And what is the requirement? The requirement is that a great lover is always ready to give love and is not bothered whether it is returned or not. It is always returned, it is in the very nature of things. It is just as if you go to the mountains and you sing a song, and the valleys respond. Have you seen an echo point in the mountains, in the hills? You shout and the valleys shout, or you sing and the valleys sing. Each heart is a valley. If you pour love into it, it will respond.
The first lesson of love is not to ask for love, but just to give. Become a giver. And people are doing just the opposite. Even when they give, they give only with the idea that love should come back. It is a bargain. They don’t share, they don’t share freely. They share with a condition. They go on watching out of the corner of their eye whether it is coming back or not. Very poor people… they don’t know the natural functioning of love. You simply pour, it will come.
And if it is not coming, nothing to be worried about — because a lover knows that to love is to be happy. If it comes, good; then the happiness is multiplied. But even if it never comes back, in the very act of loving you become so happy, so ecstatic, who bothers whether it comes or not?
Love is not what is ordinarily understood by the word. The ordinary love is just a masquerade; something else is hiding behind it. The real love is a totally different phenomenon. The ordinary love is a demand, the real love is a sharing. It knows nothing of demand; it knows the joy of giving.
You CAN love - only when you turn inwards when you meditate - when you bring spirituality to your life - only then can you realize the true meaning of love - only then can you realize the true essence of SEX.
In ancient India - sex was not a taboo - it was a very natural way of life. During those times - sex was not condemned - how can you condemn sex - the very source through which we all are born into this physical form?
The New Age - forces you to suppress sex - and that gives birth to perversion. In the very ancient times - during the Age of Rama and Krishna - you were free to express sex. The many sexual scandals that you read in this AGE - is because of the suppression of sex - even sexual education is denied in schools - when in reality it would have helped the young generation in so many ways.
Rahu 7 is more of sexuality than real love. Rahu is ignorance that gives birth to a specific desire. When Rahu is in 7th - the house of sexual union - the desire to have sexual pleasure is more. But through sexuality you cannot realize the higher self - you will continue to enjoy sex - but that is all. It is only when you become meditative - than the quality of your sexual life changes. Then sex is no more just a physical exercise - it has a certain ‘depth’ to it - such meditative sex can give you a new birth, can make you a new human being.
Certain so-called monks, nuns practice CELIBACY. But this CELIBACY is out of negation, denial. The CELIBACY that goes through denial is perverted; your mind will be filled with sexuality. The real CELIBACY that happens gracefully, through alertness, through acceptance, becomes a grace. The CELIBACY that comes through self-realization - understanding the FUTILITY of the sex life - such celibacy has a beauty of its own, and by and by it goes beyond itself. Then it is love. Then it is prayer. And the love that was flowing toward the opposite sex starts flowing towards the divine - the same love, the same energy!
RAHU 7 - this life moves you through many sexual encounters - but if you remain satisfied with just the sexual experiences than there is no further growth to your ‘self’ - if you bring awareness through meditation - then there is a possibility that a time would come in your life - when you would say “I had enough of sex - now let me ‘see’ what goes beyond sex!”
Then you are truly growing inside -out - then you can live a life of a celibate - then there is a certain fragrance of TRUTH in your actions - then there is harmony is what you think - what you say and what you actually do! And when you walk the talk - life is no more the same - you are no more the same - then there is a song to it - a poem, a beautiful painting, and life becomes a garden of bliss!
If you have RAHU 7 - satisfy your desires - you are born to satisfy your set of desires - but also remember the fact that after one desire is satisfied - the next is always in waiting!
And so one has to know - when to STOP - for Lao Tzu - the divine master says “TOO MUCH - is the only SIN.”
This ‘knowing’ comes only through self-realization. And self-realization comes only through ‘meditation’. A time comes in life - when an evolved soul realizes the futility of SEX - this realization is the turning point in his or her life - then there is no looking back - the sky is clear and you are ready to fly!
But unless you experience sex with awareness - how can you realize its futility? And so instead of condemning sex - one has to experience sex in all possible ways - through marriage, or through relationships. The great Saints and Yogis - you see today - do you think they never have had sex in their past lives?
They must have had - but they brought awareness to their life - so much so - that this life they are totally free of any sexual desires - the MOON has become FULL - and now there is no moving back.
So do not condemn anything in life - everything at some point of life is necessary for you to realize what is - Real Gold - and what is Fake Gold!
