Ketu gives effects of Kharesha Shukra

~~ Jataka Parijata, Ch. 5, ln. 106

"When the 9thor the 5th Rashi from the Moon is either occupiedor aspected by a malefic planet and when the Drekamsha of the 8th bhava (i.e. the 22nd from the rising Drekamsha) happens to be what is termed Sarpa [serpent], Nigada [fetters]or Pasa [noose] ....the astrologer may predict suicide by hanging."

~~ Jataka Parijata, Ch. 2, ln. 81

Rahu causes great fear to men by means of epilepsy, smallpox, halter, flies, worms, ghosts, fiends and goblins,

and also by leading to suicides by hanging,

and because of diseases resulting in want of appetite and leprosy.

- BV Raman, How to Judge a Horoscope, p 91

"When the lord of the 10th from navamsha lagna is with Rahu or Ketu, he may end his life by hanging."

~~ Jataka Parijata, Ch. 5, ln. 106

"When inauspicious planets occupy the 4th and the 10th bhavas or Trikona positions,

and when the lord of the 8th bhava being in conjunction with Marsoccupies the rising sign,

astrologers say that the person concerned will commit suicide by hanging."

~~ Saravali, Ch 47, shloka 22

The 22nd decanate from the ascendant will denote the nature of one's death.

For example, by the nature of its lord, (i.e. the humor, place etc.)

  death by premeditated suicide D1D9 - Barbara Pijan Lama Jyotisha
  Suicide is a powerful karmic action which harms the abandoned friends and family of the native while it also plunges the native into a frightening after-death world. Due to the mental unhappiness at the time of the suicide, the native is rarely possessed of the calm and systematic preparation which is required to negotiate the peeling of the veils which reveals the valley of death.  

What are the character markers of a personality which takes its own life?

One marker would be emotional detachment, and most likely atheism - inability to conceptualize the Divine (Surya).

Another would be badakha influence upon Chandra

Salient Features of the Nativity:
  • death16_suicide_dasha1.JPGNaga-ruled Azlesa is associated with strangling, binding, twisting, and choking.

  • Ketu is associated (even in glyph) with pasa, the noose.

  • Lagnesha Chandra-Revatiin 9 = the native's lifelong interest in both secular and religious philosophy. He was a philosophy major in college.

  • Shukra + Chandra = significant artistic talent. The native was a highly skilled craftsman who built boats (Chandra) and musical instruments (Shukra) using the finest materials and the most exquisite designs (Shukra).

  • uchchamsha Shukra= Kharesha = lord of the 22nd decanate

  • Vrischika upon the 10th navamsha : His primary professional endeavor = renovating private homes (Shukra, L4) in an wealthy area of his home state. Vrischika = destruction and rebirth, rejuvenation and renovation.

  • According to friends, he did "what he wanted, when he wanted" (Chandra + Shukra) . Typical for this "spoiled" combination, he spent his considerable wealth (uchcha Shukra/9) largely upon himself (Chandra).

  • L-4 uchcha Shukra in 9 produced wealth from real estate. Before his untimely death, the native had acquired several exceptionally valuable homes and investment properties (4), in addition to a professional tool garage (4) full of expensive landscaping and construction vehicles (4). He paid cash for everything, eschewing bank loans and their paper trail. Due to L-2 Surya in bhava-8 , he liked to keep his wealth hidden.

  • However, typical of frugal Azlesa, this independently wealthy man felt compelled to "do more with less". Co-workers attest that he used and re-used and re-used certain items. His elbows poked out of threadbare work shirts; he darned his inexpensive socks rather than replace them; his work boots were (according to his wife) re-soled dozens of times, until the boots literally fell apart. His primary personal vehicle, a single diesel truck, was kept running with a many-times-rebuilt engine, for over 35 years.

  • He did not like children (Mangala-Rahu-Shani in 5) often complaining about the unpleasant smell of babies, the irresponsible lifestyle of "breeders" and the threat of world collapse from global over-population.

  • Yet lagnesha Chandra + Shukra in 9 (global travel) caused a great philosophical interest in futuristic sustainability movements designed to protect the Earth's resources for future generations.

  • Shani + Mangala in bhava-5 =  typically an energetic worker, especially when amplified by Rahu as in this kundali.

    Born into wealth, the native was 'spoiled' by his parents due to Shukra+Chandra . Yet he was not lazy in the least. Due to social and financial privilege, he worked only when he chose and upon projects which he chose. His work on house renovations in a high-priced housing market was performed on a cash basis only; thus he paid much less income tax than others in his earnings level = wealth-treasuries L-2 Surya in bhava-8 (8 = pooled monies, lotteries, taxes).

    • L-2 Surya for savings wealth in 8 the house of things hidden. His wealth was substantial but effectively hidden. In childhood the native inherited considerable monies from a historic estate (L-2 money in 8 inheritance). In addition to having all of his housing, schooling, and vehicle expenses paid by family money (2) including an exclusive humanistic education (lagnesha Chandra/9 + L-4 schooling uchcha Shukra wealth) the native also masked (Rahu) his income (L-11 Shukra drishti of Rahu) so that he avoided most types of government taxation.

    • Sadly, at the time of his death, he suffered paranoid delusions that he was under surveillance by government tax agents and that all of his carefully disguised (Rahu) financial holdings were going to be captured by government police. Friends and family attest that this delusion had no basis in fact; yet Kumbha-8 indeed signifies death conditions imposed by the government.

    • Surya tends to incinerate the matters of the house in which He resides. Taxes were burned up and Guru flourished in 2. Surya-Kumbha is often called immoral because willful Suraja is too ego-centric in Kumbha the rashi of distribution within a Group. The social group suffers when Suraja occupies Kumbha. In this case the native especially resented what he perceived as social control.

    • The native rationalized his selfishness via a "Libertarian" philosophy of self-reliance. He especially opposed any tax-funded social programs designed to help children (L-8 Shani in 5). Despite having been protected from the normal sources of debt (education, property purchase, vehicles, medical treatment) by his family capital and shrewd (ultimately illegal - Surya Kumbha 8) tax avoidance, the native believed that his wealth was fully self-made and should be fully self disposed.

    • According to friends, during Chandra Mahadasha , the native became commercially involved in profitable transactions regarding organic, hallucinogenic drugs (L-6 Guru in 2, wealth) associated with the shamanic (8) religions of native peoples. His money hoard (L-2 in 8) increased from this illegal trade (L-6 in 2) and he was confident (Surya, but a very weak position for the Great Light) of his legal rights to pursue the drug trade under a Libertarian (Surya-Kumbha) philosophy of enlightened self-interest and religious privilege (Chandra).

    • However the drugs in question are explicitly illegal in the native's homeland, and when Ketu bhukti began, the native entered into doubt (Ketu).

    • Due to hostile drishti from Rahu, Mangala, and Shani, it soon became a crippling doubt and which ended in complete surrender (Ketu).

At the beginning of Chandra-Ketu, the native started to manifest paranoid behaviors and talked frequently about the need to protect his earnings (Ketu, 11) from the government.Note that Ketu receives the highly unfavorable drishti of "catastrophic change and deathly shock" L-7+L-8 Shani and but also the drishti of YogakarakaL-5+L-10 Mangala. Shani = L-11+L-12 from Chandra and Mangala = L-2+L-9 from Chandra; neither overtly harmful angles.

By the end of Ketu period he had succumbed to paranoid delusions that his hidden wealth, so craftily hidden for decades, invested in properties and kept in bank cashboxes, was about to be seized by his old terror, the nameless faceless forces of "government". "Everything I've worked for," he moaned - "the lifestyle I've built, my assets, my properties - will all be seized!"


  • At least one adviser recognized his symptoms as suggesting a rampant paranoid depression.

  • In a massive, panicked depression, after running from his illusory attackers for days, he finally took his life by noose (Ketu). The letters he left for family and friends say that suicide was his "only way out".

What happened? Ketu gave insanity + the effect of L-4 Shukra = Kharesha. (He died at home.)
