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. 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

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.
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

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.

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, natives father lost both the eyes and so he had to live in ordinary state during this period. In this circumstance natives father was helpless, jobless & had to live under the care of relatives with complete dependency. Natives 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.
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.
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. Natives 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) 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
