Cats Eye (Lehsunia)
Cats Eye (Lehsunia) is the stone of planet Ketu, the dragon’s tail. Ketu is the trunk part of the planet Rahu. In Indian astrology, Rahu is said to be a shadow planet. He is the son of “Sinhika” the daughter of “Hirnyakashyapu”. As per Hindu mythology, at the time of “Saagar Manthan”, the devil Rahu managed to drink the immortal fluid “Amrit” along with holy angels “Devtas”. Lord Vishnu became angry and cut his head using his “Sudarshan Chakra”. But as Rahu managed to drink “Amrit”, he could not die. As the result the head and the trunk of his body were still alive. Afterwards, these two parts of his body became the shadow planet by the name of Rahu and Ketu. These two planets are not there in the solar system. But Indian astrologers consider them to be shadow planets. Rahu and Ketu are always placed in 7th house from each other and they always transit in the retrograde position in the horoscope. Ketu is an auspicious planet. All Ketu, Saturn (Shani) and Rahu, is said to be the sorrow of the Kaal Purusha. Ketu indicates the position of the maternal grandfather of the native. It indicates the black magic, horned animals, death due to the animals with horns, dogs, hen etc. If Ketu is in the malefic position in the horoscope, the native may suffer the enmities. Ketu indicates the self-realization, understanding one’s own self, Vedic studies, knowledge, liberation from birth-death cycle, yoga, science etc. Business & Profession: the powerful presence of Ketu in the horoscope blesses the native with the enhancement of the businesses opportunities in the field of marine business, adventures sports, share market, physicians, surgeons, religious businesses etc. Diseases:Ketu may be behind the diseases like leucoderma, white spots over skin, legs and arms diseases, throat infections etc. Most of the time, Ketu himself cures the diseases caused by Ketu. If the position of Ketu is in favor, the native will be enjoying a great intellectual power. He leads a religious life having faith in god. He may also get attracted towards the black magic, religions doctrines, fanaticism, etc. The malefic position of Ketu in the horoscope may result in the imprisonment, accident, unnatural bad dreams, sorrow and an early death.
