Rahu and Ketu, the North and South nodes of the Moon are also the shadowy planets. Rahu compels you to have new experiences and forget the past; whereas, Ketu compels you to embrace the past and uphold tradition. Both amplify whatever they are associated with for, positive or negative. The success or failure visited upon you by Rahu or Ketu often comes as a comprehensive surprise. The intensity and energy of how the karma unfolds will depend on the strength of Rahu and Ketu in your birth chart. July 27th and 28th (IST) (as per Indian Almanac) are two auspicious times to remedy Rahu and Ketu afflictions. These days are important and are referred as Naga Chaturthi and Naga Panchami.

Offering prayers to Rahu and Ketu on naga chaturthi

and Naga Panchami will keep a check on their negative influences in your life. As per Vedic stories, Lord Brahma gave a boon to Serpents that they would get respected / worshipped by human beings on the Earth plane on naga panchami and the effects of curses from the snakes can be dissolved on this auspicious day. Mythology behind Rahu and KeturnIt is said that Rahu and Ketu together, were considered to be a single planet. Lord Vishnu found that these planets in disguise of God, were stealing the immortal elixir. Annoyed, he cut these planets into two halves (Rahu and Ketu separately); where Rahu (the head) signifies intelligence, wisdom and knowledge; whereas, Ketu (the tail) represents liberation. Thus, these planets are considered to be the most influential hidden forces of human life.
