Rahu gives good results in air signs because Rahu represents your subconscious desires. I met an old friend who is a meditative man, but he also had a strong desire to own a BMW car. He had been a successful businessman but always hesitated to buy the expensive car. Now that he had become older, the desire still remained. Since he was a meditative man, he told me, “Aditya, I’m buying a BMW because I don’t want to take another birth just because this one intense desire was left unfulfilled.”

He bought the BMW car, and then, after one year, he sold it. The wish was fulfilled. He was no longer held back. He experienced freedom. He was a happy man with no regrets about selling the car because he just wanted to get rid of his desire. Now that it was fulfilled, and he realized its futility, he was able to let it go. You can only give up a desire when you realize its futility.

This is a very deep subject. Shallow readers may not understand it, and my answer is not for shallow listeners. They will condemn me, ridicule me, and offend me. That is all they can do, and that is all they have been doing. For them, condemning, ridiculing, and offending others gives them joy and makes them feel good. But to me, sharing the truth brings me joy. Both our desires and intentions differ. While they like to hurt others, I like to heal, love, and rejoice in sharing the truth with all of you. I am perfectly aware that though certain men and women may condemn me, there are thousands of followers who may read or listen to this message someday, somewhere.

What you like is what you have within you. You will appreciate only that which you value within yourself. The seed of goodness is found in the soil of appreciation, and your desire is directly linked to your likes. If you like to hurt others, the quality of your desires is degrading, and a degraded desire only leads to a degraded life.

This brings us back to the question of exalted Rahu, which is related to desires. The quality of desires shapes your life. People often ask, “What is the purpose of my life?” There was a man who was such a simple person. Wherever he went, he simply loved to help others. The desire to help is the greatest desire of all. Desires remain, but it is your consciousness that helps you decide which desires are good for your growth and which are harmful.

The desire to kill someone, to hurt someone, or to cast a black magic spell on someone is a direct path to hell. You will be surprised to see that in the morning, people go to temples, but at night, the same people commit terrible acts of sin. This is the reality of the human world. Don’t go by appearances or words. Just observe closely, and you will see the truth. An ignorant man goes on hurting others, and that is what makes him happy. A conscious man, on the other hand, goes on helping others, and that is what brings bliss to his heart and soul.

Understand the difference and sever it. Our prime purpose in life is to help others. If you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them. The subject of desires is very deep, and Rahu also plays a significant role in it. Desires are Rahu. You have come to this world because a desire was born within your being.

The story of Adam and Eve and the apple in the Bible mentions how Adam could not resist his desire to eat the apple. This desire became the starting point of the human world in which we are all caught. Desires are like a serpent that engulfs us, blocks our consciousness, and brings many miseries into our lives.

Certain people seem more interested in pointing out what the scriptures, like the Bible, say. They are more interested in correcting me by saying that I should only follow the Bible story. This is the problem—the problem of the mind. A story can have many dimensions, and if the dimension I am sharing adds value, helps you, and motivates you, then what is the problem?

But certain human beings are so shallow that they go on repeating the stories of the Bible, the Quran, and the Bhagavad Gita without realizing the deeper meanings they hold. Such people will spend their whole life correcting others but will miss the chance to correct themselves. And when they ask why life is so miserable, they miss the point.

Much has to be cut, and much has to be dropped. Only the essential has to be saved, and the non-essential must be completely destroyed. Desires are born based on your level of consciousness. The level of consciousness you tune into each moment of every day will determine the quality of your experience of the world.

A conscious man, a man of awareness, will always have a certain quality of desires, and this quality is reflected through the zodiac signs.

Jai Sri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Jupiter loves Ketu, Mercury loves Rahu, and the whole story is divided into two parts. The entire world of human beings is divided into two parts: the heart and the head. The devatas (gods) dwell in the heart, while the asuras (materialistic beings) dwell in the head. For millions and millions of years, friction has always existed between these two sides, and it will continue forever because there are two contrasting energies, two polarities, that can never get along.

In this material world, in every house, every family, and at every workplace, there is someone who embodies the characteristics of Hitler, who represents ignorance and cruelty, and there is someone who embodies Buddha, who represents compassion and wisdom. Every birth chart inclines towards Rahu or Ketu. Every birth chart represents either a Hitler or a Buddha, a Mahavira or a materialistic soul. The whole gamut of your life’s results depends on which side your birth chart leans towards. That is the real secret, and this is why the ancient seers and sages have given immense importance to Rahu and Ketu over all other planets.

First, it has to be decided whether you can “kill the bird” or not. If you cannot, then consciousness is present; the higher love is present. If you cannot, then the heart is over the head, and such a person is welcomed in the Kingdom of God, in the Kingdom of Jupiter. If you can kill, then ignorance is at its peak. If you can kill, then the lower love is all that remains. If you can, then the head is over the heart, and such a person is not welcome because they simply cannot understand the language of the heart—the language of love. God is love, and love is real.

Mercury prides over Rahu, and that is why Lord Vishnu should be worshiped if you are going through Rahu difficulties. If Mercury is very strong in your birth chart and your Moon is in a good position, Rahu or Rahu Mahadasha will not affect you negatively. However, if the Moon is afflicted or Mercury is afflicted, whenever you fall under Rahu Mahadasha or when Rahu goes through difficult transits, you will suffer tremendously because your Mercury is not in good shape. Lord Vishnu is directly connected with Mercury. It was Lord Vishnu who beheaded the asura, Rahu.

Jupiter prides over Ketu, and that is why Lord Ganesha should be worshiped if you are unable to relate to the message of Ketu—the message of turning inwards. Lord Shiva should also be worshiped to realize the immense significance of living your life selflessly and by being more and more detached.

Marriages fail when the energies are in contrast. One person is Rahu-ish, while the other is Ketu-ish. But strange things happen. One day, a young man named Gopal came and said, “I have fallen in love with a woman, and I cannot help it. I want to marry her.” The master said, “Come tomorrow, it is very late.” The next day, the master went into deep meditation and then said to Gopal, “This marriage will not work. You are getting yourself into a deep mess, but attraction brings ignorance.”

The man was attracted, married the woman, and then began the many miseries of his life. He could not sleep in peace, could not find joy, and became like a plastic rose, with the fragrance lost. The master remembered the young Gopal, who was once a lively man, an honest man, a man of heart—innocent, compassionate, and beautiful. But with one wrong move, the same Gopal had turned into a miserable man, a man who was no longer willing to live. He was once full of life but now thinking of giving up.

Life can change 360° towards the deepest valleys if you fall for your temptations, if you fall for attractions, if you follow your mind. The same life can change 360° towards the highest peaks if you rise above your temptations. If you remain indifferent towards attractions, if you rise above your mind, Rahu traps you. Suffocation happens when you allow yourself to get into the tight clutches of Rahu. Rahu represents your desires, and desires lead to ignorance.

Ketu relieves you. A man moving towards Ketu becomes more and more detached. He becomes a Buddha. You cannot distract him, you cannot attract him. Rahu exalts not just in Gemini but also is empowered when he is in the nakshatra of Mercury. Rahu is empowered in Ashlesha, Jyeshtha, and Revati nakshatras. Whenever Rahu is in these nakshatras, he is empowered to give more intense results. If Rahu is placed well, he may benefit you. But if Rahu is placed poorly, he may do what he does best: cause more harm.

Ketu exalts not just in Sagittarius but also is empowered when Ketu is in the nakshatra of Jupiter. Ketu is empowered in Punarvasu, Vishakha, and Purva Bhadrapada nakshatras. Depending on which side the birth chart leans towards, an empowered Ketu will manifest its results. If the chart leans towards Ketu, then whenever Ketu is in Punarvasu, Vishakha, or Purva Bhadrapada, you will benefit. But if the chart leans towards Rahu, the same empowered Ketu will appear as a hurdle.

People are running behind matchmaking, matching everything—moon sign, sun sign, ascendant, etc.—but they miss one crucial point: if the man and woman who are planning to marry fall in the same category of Ketu or Rahu. A Rahu-ish man and a Rahu-ish woman can generally stay together because both belong to the same world, the world of Rahu. But if you are Ketu-ish and you marry a Rahu-ish woman, then you are in trouble.

Jai Sri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Yesterday, Mohan asked about the remedies for the Shani-Rahu conjunction. Rahu represents desire, while Shani represents tradition, ethics, and moral values. When Rahu is seen with Shani, the black, smoky desires slowly corrupt the traditional values, ethics, and morality of Lord Saturn.

In the beginning, the man or woman is a strict follower of ethics and moral values. Then, someone enters their life, an outsider who starts convincing them to do things that are morally incorrect. The native falls for the trap, and you see a person being corrupted by an outside influence, compelling them to just do it.

In this process, the native slowly loses control over their life and their moral standards. Misery and failure follow. Always remember: failure comes only when we forget our ideals, objectives, and principles. Many love affairs, extramarital affairs, and an urge to satisfy sexual needs in shady ways are common indications of this placement. Rahu with Shani corrupts honest officers by presenting attractive gifts, temptations, and many cheap ways.

Rahu spoils the good qualities of Shani, making Saturn extremely weak. Let this be clear: whenever you encounter a government officer with this placement, be aware, as they may appear clean on the outside, but they are not clean in reality.

Before asking for a remedy, you must understand the seriousness of this placement. Shani being together with Rahu is a curse. Extreme, unstoppable desires crucify all the traditional values, ethics, and morality of society. As a result, someone virtuous, a holy soul, curses you, and this curse continues to haunt the soul for many births. This is the most unfortunate placement, and the pattern continues for many lives until a day comes when you become mindful. Until then, it will just go on rotating like a wheel. Life repeats itself mindlessly unless you become mindful.

Usually, a corrupt person is represented through this placement, but who is not corrupt? Or rather, who has not been corrupt in human life? You cannot be a totally spotless figure unless you become a saint. However, with Rahu-Shani, the person is inclined to commit more and more misdeeds and display unacceptable behavior from the perspective of social norms.

Yes, it is true that everyone is corrupted in some way or the other, but there is effort in not repeating the same mistakes. A person with this placement, however, never learns from their mistakes. Mistakes happen – that’s life. Repeating the same mistake, though, is stupidity. You can’t make the same mistake twice. The second time you make it, it’s no longer a mistake; it’s a choice.

Natives with this placement never realize their mistakes. There is no awakening, no sign of consciousness, and a great force of ignorance. The darkest night is ignorance. Always remember: the cause of all pain and suffering is ignorance, as the Buddha says. A Buddha is someone who has awakened from the sleep of ignorance and sees things as they really are. A Buddha is completely free from all faults and mental obstructions.

There are many who have become Buddhas in the past, and many will become Buddhas in the future. But Shani-Rahu never lets the native experience the bliss of Buddha. How can they when they live in such deep ignorance? The absence of consciousness is ego. Shani represents humility, and Rahu represents ego. Here, Rahu kills humility and gives birth to an inflated ego. These men or women become victims of their own ego.

If anyone has a girlfriend or boyfriend with this combination, be aware: you are with a very egoistic person. Ego is the most triggering reason for a breakup or a divorce. The absence of consciousness is ego. Whenever ego is absent, love is present. Our world is in crisis because of the absence of self-awareness. There is absolutely no sign of consciousness, and so the miseries are more and happiness is less in our lives. The world of Shani-Rahu people is always in crisis – very insensitive, revengeful people always face some crisis in life.

Shani, or Lord Saturn, is the most respected, most feared, and most worshiped planet in the history of mankind. When Rahu eclipses Saturn, imagine what can happen. This is the perfect placement where Saturn is eclipsed by Rahu, resulting in a Shani Grahan (eclipse), and you are asking for a remedy to overcome this Rahu eclipse. Here, Saturn is already damaged, irrespective of what house it rules. Saturn is not in a condition to provide any positive results for the native.

A filthy, cheap, crooked dark man is causing trouble to the judge, Saturn. What can be done? What will be your remedy to stop or prevent this dark man from overshadowing the judgment of Shani? Do you know what astrologers suggest? Let me share this with you:

A young woman with Shani-Rahu in the fourth house was suggested to wear a gemstone of garnet, a stone of Rahu. It’s like giving sugar to a man who is already suffering from diabetes. The woman went through more miseries than she already was going through. So, by any chance – and I’m sharing this specifically for all my followers – if you have Shani-Rahu and someone suggests you wear a garnet stone, please don’t wear it.

The best way to overcome this placement is to wear a good-quality Topaz, not a yellow sapphire – just a Topaz on your right-hand index finger. Topaz is an affordable stone, and my solution is for the masses, not a specific class. Worship Lord Shiva on every Monday, and fasting on Monday is also something that you can do. Only Lord Shiva is the remedy.

Jai Sri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Rahu is connected with illusion—Brahm, Brahmit.
And this brahm is exactly what black magic also brings into your life.

Suddenly, you start feeling as if somebody is against you.
Suddenly, you start feeling as if someone is plotting against you.
You become doubtful. And doubt is death.

This is how black magic works.

Yesterday, a very small incident happened with Mohan.
He thought that he had taken his medicine in the morning. That was his illusion. But in reality, he never took the medicine. He just thought he did.

People tend to forget. People tend to live in an illusion.
But in reality, it has not happened.
And this is how, even in relationships, many husbands doubt their wives.
Many wives doubt their husbands.
Many boyfriends doubt their girlfriends—and it goes on and on.

Doubt is death.

But why do you doubt?
You doubt because your mind makes you believe that whatever you are thinking is real.

And this is how Rahu works.

Rahu creates an illusion. In reality, there is nothing of that sort, but the person starts fearing.
And that illusion—slowly, slowly, slowly—destroys your life.

You become more fearful.
You become more doubtful.
Then you are not willing to go out with friends.
Then you hesitate to even speak with strangers, because constantly you are living under fear.

And this is how Rahu creates a perfect stage on which—slowly—you become a mental patient.

You see, that is the reality.

Rahu, Black Magic, and the Mind

Based on my experience—so many horoscopes that I have studied—whenever there is a Rahu Mahadasha, whenever there is Rahu Antardasha,
whenever Mercury is with Rahu or Mercury-Rahu Antardasha is running,
Chandra-Rahu Antardasha is running,
and on top of that, if the person has Moon-Rahu conjunction—then that is very, very difficult.

The sole purpose of black magic is to create an illusion in your mind—a Brahm—
so that you start thinking negatively.
And that itself is connected with Rahu, because Rahu is the element that creates these clouds of confusion.

So, if you are under Rahu Dasha, or under Rahu Antardasha,
then the job of the black magician becomes easy.

It all depends on which Antardasha and which Mahadasha you are running.

Illusions and Relationship Traps

Relationships also break under such negative influences.
Love at first sight or infatuation happens,
but later on, you come to realize—
“Oh my God, this man or this woman is no less than a devil.”

In a way, this realization is good—because it helps you to come out of such a difficult relationship.
But it is also very painful, because you realize that you made a fool of yourself
by jumping into it without thinking, without evaluating properly.

Brahm in Daily Life

Today, as I was thinking about black magic and Rahu, this one thing came to me:

This Brahm—this illusion—
not only shows up in examples like forgetting medicine,
but also while working, you may think, “Oh, I did this.”
But in reality, you haven’t done it.
It’s an illusion.

Something or someone is making you believe that you did it.
But in reality, you didn’t.
And that is very dangerous.

It can get you fired.
If it’s regarding medicine, it can make you more ill.

Rahu and Planetary Combinations

These types of illusions become more prominent if:

• The person has more planets in the 6th, 8th, or 12th houses
• Rahu is in the 4th house
• There is a Rahu-Mars conjunction
• There is a Rahu-Saturn or Rahu-Moon conjunction

Then, you tend to operate under the influence of Rahu, which leads you to illusion, paranoia, and suspicion.
You start doubting everybody.

And that is the sole intention of black magic:

To make you a doubtful person
So that you don’t enjoy your life

The Chain of Destruction

• Doubt leads to fear
• Fear leads to death (of joy, of spontaneity, of clarity)
• You may be alive, but you’re just existing

Be aware.
Be watchful of Rahu’s illusion.
And remember—faith, clarity, and awareness are your strongest weapons.

Jai Sri Ganesha. Jai Guru.
