Rahu and Ketu

Nodal Nodes of Moon - Rahu and Ketu

Rahu & Ketu are the two imaginary points of intersection formed when the Plane of Moon's Orbit intersects the plane of the Sun's Orbit. But they have major significance in Vedic Astrology. They are considered two to three times powerful than any other planet. Moreover, they are considered as malefic and if they are placed badly in horoscope, they can affect one’s life adversely. Good placement of Rahu as well as Ketu gifted a person with everything.
