Pick the house Rahu sits in — the tool instantly shows every house Rahu and Ketu cast their nazar (drishti) on, using the simple +4, +6, +8 method. And we tell you honestly what is confirmed scripture and what is tradition.
Count 4 houses forward from Rahu (its 5th). Tradition, Jupiter-like. Softer influence.
The house directly opposite Rahu (its 7th). Confirmed by every school — the strongest, undisputed nazar.
Count 8 houses forward from Rahu (its 9th). Tradition, Jupiter-like. Softer influence.
Every planet, including Rahu and Ketu, casts a full 7th aspect on the house directly opposite it — this is undisputed in classical Parashari astrology. In the most widely followed tradition, Rahu and Ketu also aspect the 5th and 9th houses from themselves, exactly like Jupiter. So from the house Rahu sits in, count +4 (5th), +6 (7th) and +8 (9th).
The only aspect all schools agree on is the 7th (the opposite house). The 5th and 9th aspects for Rahu and Ketu are a widely-used tradition, treating them like Jupiter — but classical BPHS gives special aspects only to Mars (4, 8), Jupiter (5, 9) and Saturn (3, 10). Some acharyas instead give Rahu Saturn-like aspects (3, 7, 10) and Ketu Mars-like aspects (4, 7, 8). We show the popular 5-7-9 view and label clearly what is confirmed versus tradition — nothing is dressed up as absolute fact.
Ketu is always exactly opposite Rahu — the 7th house from Rahu, 180° away. If Rahu is in the 3rd house, Ketu is in the 9th. And Ketu's aspects fall on the houses opposite to Rahu's aspected houses.
No. An aspect from Rahu amplifies and intensifies the affairs of that house — it can bring obsession and restlessness, but also ambition, foreign gains and unconventional success. Ketu brings detachment and a spiritual, "letting-go" quality. Neither is a curse; with awareness (and the right remedy) the same energy becomes a strength.
ShukrAI gives Vedic astrology guidance for reflection and self-understanding. It is never a prediction of doom, and we openly label what is confirmed scripture versus traditional interpretation.
