Family Lineages

Family Lineages governed by Rahu & Ketu:

Rahu governs own Family Lineage whereas Ketu governs Opposite side Relative’s Family Lineage!

Among NavaGrahas, Rahu & Ketu are the only two Planets (Two Geometrical Points) who always transit opposite to each other at a constant Speed! As per Hindu Mythology, Lord Vishnu cut off head of Asura Rahu with his weapon Sudarshan Chakra, but because of drinking Amrita.. Rahu’s body remained alive, but in two parts as:
1. Head &
2. Body (धड़).

These two parts of Rahu later on awarded Graha Pada by Lord Brahma and this way, Head is known as Rahu Graha & Body (धड़) is known as Ketu. This way, Rahu & Ketu always transit opposite of each other where in Kaal Purusha Kundli, Rahu is supposed to reside in Asc (as Asc governs Head of Kaal Purusha) and Ketu resides in opposite house i.e. the 7th House.

Rahu governs own Family Lineage ~ Grandfather, Great grandfather and Forefathers (Pitrus), where as Ketu governs Opposite side Relative’s Family Lineage like:
• Mother’s side ~ Maternal Grandfather & Great grandfather.
• Spouse’ side ~ Own Father-in-Law &  Great grandfather
• In-laws of other members of own Family (like Father’s Sister’s in-laws, own Sister’s in-laws, Brother’s in-laws & Daughter’s in-laws etc.).

Note: Immediate relatives/relations are governed by other Planets like... Father & Father-in-law by Sun, Brother-in-law by Saturn/Mars etc.
