“Sun & Ketu Conjunction” - An article written by Vishal Aksh

 

In my opinion, answers to such questions can be given well on the basis of Vedic jyotish. Here let me make it clear that the North node mentioned in western astrology is called Rahu in jyotish and South node is called Ketu, so in this article, only Rahu and Ketu will be used in place of North node and South node respectively.

 To understand this kind of curiosity, it is necessary to understand the story of the Vedic creation described in the Shiva Purana. which is as follows:

 At the beginning of creation, there was a dispute between Brahma and Vishnu regarding superiority. Then a linga appeared, whose neither beginning nor end was visible, so it was decided that Brahma would find the beginning of the linga and Vishnu would find the end and the one who would come back after completing his mission first would be the winner. According to Shiva Purana, that divine linga extended till Arda nakshatra. Both Brahma and Vishnu were unable to know the beginning & end of that linga.

Source: Shiv Purana

 It is clear from the above legend that the Vedic universe extends up to Ardra nakshatra and because Rahu is the ruling planet of Ardra nakshatra, therefore one end of the Vedic universe becomes Rahu and the other end becomes Ketu.

In Vedic literature, the sun is considered as the soul. Whenever Rahu is in the seventh house from the Sun, it clearly means that there will be a conjunction between Sun and Ketu. In a clear sense, the soul indicated by Sun will meet at the beginning of the universe indicated by Ketu. The nature of Ketu is to go into the depths and rise up like a flag, so this conjunction of Sun and Ketu shows enlightenment and theoretically this conjunction shows the prohibition of the soul coming into the earth, which clearly means freedom from the cycle of rebirth. 

 This combination shows not only sacrifice but also dedication. The basic meaning of sacrifice here is the suppression of all kinds of negativity, greed, hatred, attachment and desires that arise in the mind and heart.

 This conjunction of Sun and Ketu can be found in the birth charts of great saints. Here I want to say one more thing specifically that the conjunction of Sun & Rahu can also make anyone a great saint, but cannot end the cycle of rebirth theoretically.

 Therefore the conjunction of Sun and Ketu makes a person spiritual and explains this great Vedic law that whatever is present within me is equally in other living beings also. If I feel Brahm within me, then that Brahm is also within you.
