[Publisher: This is the rarest of rare articles and though
looks simple initially but the author has subtly given a
huge portion of his experience which goes contradictory
against the dispositor theory of planets. All are
requested to test these techniques which we are
personally aware of both authors having worked hard on
for many decades.]

f a path of journey is straight and clear
without any obstruction, our journey
can be simple and easy without any
tension. But whenever our journey passes
through a dark portion, it becomes very
difficult and obstructive to our journey
while passing through this dark portion. We
become very perturbed and disturbed.
Similarly whenever North Node and South
Node come in the way of planets which are
revolving around the Sun, then path of
these planets becomes difficult and they can
not show their effect clearly according to
their natural characteristic. The sign which
are occupied by Nodes also create illusive
result. In astrology, therefore, Nodes have
tremendous influence on the planets and
signs and give unimaginable results.
Interpretation of this influence is very
difficult.
Shri Babubhai Yodh is an 86 yr old
astrologer who hails from a parampara
family in Gujarat, India. He has done B.A in
English literature from Bombay University in
1948 and has been a teacher all his life. He
has devoted his entire life to Jyotish having
written two books in astrology a) Art of
Prediction & b) Importance of Transit Points
both considered classics. He specializes in K.P
astrology and has devoted students who
learn earnestly from him. Students from
Ahmadabad should earnestly hunt him
down and learn the esoteric meaning of
planets which he has discovered that is not
available in any text is the experience of the
publisher of Saptarishis Astrology.
The information given by our ancestral
astrologers about Nodes are very useful but
it requires deep thinking to interpret its
predictive influence with reference to
experience of present time. After
continuous study and review on the basis of
experience of fifty years in the field of
806
astrology, the author has tried to give the specific interpretation about the influence of
Nodes in this article. North Node and South Node are only sensitive points and do not have
physical body of their own. So they are considered shadow planets.
But effect of these Nodes is observed similar to physical planets. In an agricultural land if there
is a shadow under the big tree, it is observed that no crops can be grown in the area of this shadow.
Similarly whenever shadow of these Nodes covers any sign of the Zodiac, it gives
unpredictable effect to that sign and also to the planet which becomes lord of this sign.
According to the basic principle of astrology, North Node (Rahu) is considered mouth of
serpent and it is broad that shows development; while South Node (Ketu) is considered tail of
serpent which is narrow that shows restriction.
Influence of North Node - Rahu:
N
orth Node always gives good result in the signs of Mercury and Venus. North
Node is considered as shadow of Moon. Shadow always remains inseparable from
its object. The North Node being the shadow of the moon, it gives strong effect in
the sign of Moon that is Cancer. North Node is not favourable in fiery sign i.e. in the sign of
Aries, Leo & Sagittarius. It is therefore clear that North Node in the sign of Taurus, Libra,
Gemini, Virgo, Aquarius and Cancer gives beneficial result whether it is situated alone or
with other planets. Though the result of North Node in above signs is favourable but not
straight forward and it creates difficulty for giving the good result. North Node in these signs
gives success by one’s intelligence, firmness and strong efforts. North Node gives good
result for the matter pertaining to material world.
Whenever, North Node is places in any house in the sign other than signs of Mercury,
Venus and Moon, it creates many difficulties for the matter of that house and planet which
owns the sign and gives adverse result which can not be avoided. Therefore it is clear that
North Node in the sign of Leo, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn & Pisces does not give
favourable result.
For an instance, if North Node in Scorpio sign placed in the sixth house, it creates difficulty
in the service of a native. In this situation, native has to pass through tough period with
quarrels and court cases and it so happens that native has to leave the service.
Influence of South Node - Ketu:
N
orth Node is considered as broad portion while South Node is considered as narrow
portion. Therefore, main characteristic of South Node is to create narrowness and
restrict the circumstances for giving beneficial result in the life of a native. Our
ancestral astrologers have considered the South Node for giving spiritual knowledge and
therefore it gives salvation. South Node is connected with occult science, religion, spiritual
reading and also with modesty and humbleness. South Node gives good result for the matter
pertaining to non-material world.
South Node is favourable in fiery sign i.e. in the sign of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. South
Node gives beneficial result in the signs of Mars and Jupiter i.e. in the signs of Aries,
Scorpio, Sagittarius and Pisces. As per natural characteristic of South Node, it is a planet of
restriction and impediment. Therefore, if it is placed in unfavourable sign other than the
signs of Mars and Jupiter, it creates totally negative results for the matter pertaining to that
807
house and planet which owns the sign. For an instance, if South Node is placed in the second
sixth or tenth house in unfavourable sign such as Taurus, Libra, Gemini and Virgo, then the
result of these houses is experienced totally negative, that is in the second house, shortage of
money, in the sixth house difficulty in service and in the tenth house failures in career are
observed.
Prediction of North Node - Rahu:
N
odes represent the planet which is owner of the sign in which these Nodes are
placed. If North Node is in Taurus, it represents the planet Venus and gives the
results of Venus. In this case, North Node will give the result which Venus is
supposed to give. Here North Node is giving the result; therefore result of Venus will be
very beneficial because North Node is considered giving favourable result in the sign of
Venus. Therefore, Node is the main planet which gives the result of the house in which it is
placed. The planet which is owner of this house will give subsidiary result.
For an instance, Venus is placed in Virgo and North Node is placed in Taurus. Here Venus is
in debilitated sign, but North Node will not give adverse result of Venus because North Node is
placed in its favourable sign of Venus. Therefore, North Node will give the beneficial result of
Venus. This can be interpreted clearly during Vimshottari Dasa System. In this case
whenever, a native passes through Venus period, it will not give beneficial result. In this
period a native experience shortage of money and prosperity. But when a native passes through
North Node period, then native experiences good result of Venus and gets money and prosperity.
North Node, in the sign of Sagittarius and Pisces gives specific results. For an instance, if
Jupiter is placed in an exalted sign of Cancer and North Node is placed in Sagittarius, then
North Node represents Jupiter. North Node is placed in unfavorable sign of Sagittarius;
therefore it does not give beneficial result regarding the matter of Jupiter. Therefore, during
Vimshottari dasa period of North Node, a native will get adverse and evil results of Jupiter
even though Jupiter is placed in its exalted sign of Cancer. For clarification of this principle, the
following birth chart is given.
Case 1:

Vimshottari Rahu period: 22-11-1969 to 23-11-1987
In the above chart Ascendant is in Aries and Jupiter is in Cancer placed in the fourth
house. North Node is in Sagittarius and placed in ninth house. Jupiter is in its exalted sign
Cancer. But North Node placed in the sign of Jupiter, is not beneficial for giving the result
of Jupiter. Here North Node represents Jupiter. Therefore during the Vimshottari Dasa
period of North Node, it is supposed to give the results of Jupiter relating to the matter of
fourth house (Mother, House, Peace, Happiness etc.), ninth house (father) and twelfth
house (Bondage).
Here North Node is placed in unfavourable sign of Jupiter, therefore a native gets adverse
and evil results for the houses mentioned above during the period of North Node. Ninth
House shows the Father, native’s father lost both the eyes and so he had to live in ordinary
state during this period. In this circumstance native’s father was helpless, jobless & had to
live under the care of relatives with complete dependency. Native’s father lost his income
and he could not have his own house. Therefore the native had to live without any facility of
education and comfort and suffered many difficulties during this period.
Prediction of South Node - Ketu
P
rediction of South Node is similar to North Node; South Node gives beneficial result
in the signs of Sagittarius and Pisces. For an instance if in a birth chart of a native,
Jupiter is a weak planet; it gives weak result during the Vimshottari dasa period of
Jupiter. But if South Node is placed in Sagittarius in the same birth chart, native gets good
results for the matter of Jupiter during the Vimshottari period of South Node. It also gives
the good result of the house in which South Node is placed.
South Node in the sign of Mercury, Venus and Moon gives adverse result. Gemini, Virgo,
Taurus, Libra and Cancer are unfavorable signs of South Node. For an instance, in a birth
chart of a native, if South Node is in Cancer and Moon is in Taurus or Cancer, then during
the Vimshottari dasa period of South Node, a native gets adverse result for the matter
pertaining to Moon. The reasons are that South Node is in unfavourable sign of Cancer
giving adverse result of Moon. Moon is placed in its own or exalted sign of Cancer or
Taurus, but South Node will spoil the result of Moon because it is in unfavourable sign of
Cancer as mentioned above. In a natural horoscope, the sign Cancer shows the fourth house
which indicates internal peace and happy family life. But in this case, South Node in the
sign of Cancer shows the lack of above matter of fourth house and creates adverse
circumstances and many difficulties.
For clarification of this principle, the following birth chart is given.

00-10 AM, Place of Birth : Nadiad
In the above chart Ascendant is in Leo and South Node is in Cancer and placed in twelfth
house. Here South Node is in Cancer and therefore it represents the Moon, the owner of the
809
sign in which South Node is placed. South Node in the sign of Cancer is unfavorable for
giving beneficial result of Moon. South Node in the sign of Moon is supposed to give
1
adverse result for the matter of twelfth house in which South Node is place, eleventh house
in which Moon is placed and for the Karaka matter of Moon. This adverse result is
experienced during Vimshottari Period of South Node.
The matter pertaining to twelfth house is bondage, feeling confinement, restriction in every
walk of life etc. Native’s home life is totally disturbed. Husband of the native is not of her
liking. She has no issues due to ovary problem and therefore she feels lonely at home. Native
feels confinement at her own home and seeks solace and peace at different residence of her
relatives.
The matter pertaining to eleventh house is benefit and ambition. Native is qualified with
M.A. B.Ed with Library Science, but she could not get proper service according to her choice
and wherever she has served, she could not remain more than three months due to her
mental unsteadiness. Cancer also indicates liver in human body, therefore South Node is
sign of Cancer gives adverse result to digestive system. Native suffers from indigestion and
acidity and has to take medicine regularly for this trouble.
Conjunction of Planets with North Node (rahu) and South Node (ketu)
W
henever a planet or planets are in conjunction with Nodes, then during the
Vimshottari dasa period of the planet, connected with the Node, it will give
very beneficial result to the native if Nodes are placed in their favourable signs.
For instance, in a birth chart, if North Node (rahu) is in Virgo in conjunction with Jupiter
and Saturn. Here, North Node is placed in its favourable sign of Virgo; therefore, beneficial
results are experienced by a native during Vimshottari dasa period of Jupiter and Saturn
which are in conjunction with North Node. During this period a native gets good results in
his life for the matter relating to Jupiter and Saturn with his intelligent efforts because
1 Publisher: Refer to editorial where we have mentioned 11H for wife & children, in case of female natives it would be
husband and children, you can see how this chart vibrates with Ketu’s dispositors effect in the 11H and has not given her
children and good marital life.

North Node is in the sign of Mercury. Similarly it can be interpreted for the result of
the planets in conjunction with South Node.
For clarification of above principle, the following birth chart is given

In the above chart, Ascendant is in Pisces and North Node is in Virgo placed in the seventh
house in conjunction with Jupiter and Saturn. The native has following period of
Vimshottari dasa in his life.
1-09-1984 to 1-09-2000
Jupiter Period
1-09-2000 to 1-09-2019
Saturn Period
During the period of Jupiter, native got good result about family and astrological activity. In
year 1986 marriage of daughter happened and his son got service in insurance company, in
year 1993, marriage of son in highly established family, these are the auspicious events in the
life of a native. In year 1988, native started his office in Ahmedabad for astrological
Consultation. During the above period, native began to write a book on astrology and came
across many opportunities to deliver lectures and teaching on astrological subjects.
During the period of Saturn native has completed his writing of book on the subject “Art of
Prediction in Astrology”. The book was published with good response in November-2000.
Again in year 2007, the second edition of this book was published. During the same year
2007, native wrote a new book on the subject “Prediction of Transit Planets”. Therefore,
during the period of Saturn from 1-09-2000 and onward, native has achieved high esteem in
astrology and public exposure. Considerable progress and development in astrological field is
experienced by native during this running period of Saturn2.

Publisher: One may notice previous commentaries by Saptarishis Astrology, we have always maintained that 11H is the
house of Jyotisha ‘too’ and here one can see that during the period of the 11L that is Saturn the native attained high esteem in
astrology and his writings were published.

Planet Gripped by North Node and
South Node:
A Planet in conjunction, opposition or in
square aspect to Nodes is considered as
gripped planet when the degree of the
planet is less than the degree of Nodes.
The closest grip between planet and Node
will be within five degree difference
between.
Result of gripped planet is observed less
than expectation or almost nil. If powerful
planets are gripped by Nodes, they also do
not give good result. There is all possibility
to be wrong in astrological prediction
whenever such type of planetary situation
arises.
For clarification of this principle, we take
the same birth chart as mentioned above.
In the above chart, Ascendant is in Pisces
and South Node is placed in the Ascendant
which is in square aspect with Moon in
Sagittarius and placed in tenth house.
Vaghela Bhai as he is fondly called was
born in 1941 has been studying astrology
since more than 30 years with an avid
rationalist approach. He gives more
importance to Progressed theory with
transit of planets & also Navamsa. A
constant companion to Shri Babubhai Yodh
he practices astrology with a zeal of leaving
something for the younger generation. He
was employed as a Mechanical Engineer
with the State Government in Water
Supply Dept & now his retired life is
devoted to spreading astrology in
Ahmadabad. He has been a great supporter
of Saptarishis Astrology right from its
inception days.
The degree of South Node is 12°-30’ and
degree of Moon is 11°-00’, therefore, degree
of planet is less than the South Node. The
degree of Moon is less than degree of
South Node by 1°-30’. Therefore, Moon is
gripped by South Node. Moon is placed in
tenth house and becomes owner of the
fifth house.
Therefore, Moon does not give beneficial
result regarding professional career and
prosperity in the life of this native.
