The Effects of Kethu in Different Houses
As I mentioned in my piece on Rahu in the previous issue, Rahu and Ketu are also known as Dragon’s head and Dragon’s tail. They are considered the nodes of Moon, or shadowy planets because they don’t have physical bodies. The two planets move backwards or are retrograde and give sudden and unexpected happenings in life. Their effects are modified for better or for worse depending on if they are by themselves or conjoined with other planets. Usually the effects of Rahu are considered like that of Saturn and Ketu like that of Mars, although some astrologers also think that Kethu is like Mercury and gives only half the results if by itself in any house.
Following are the effects of Kethu in various houses in the Horoscope. This is basic information and all planets are affected by degree, conjuctions, aspects on them, placement among other things.

A person with this placement is often exploited by others.

The Effects of Saturn in Different Houses
Saturn completes one cycle of the Zodiac in 29 years. It is a very powerful planet and its effects both benefic and malefic can have very intense repercussions in a native’s life. Saturn is the main signifactor of longevity and also gives scientific bend of thought. Saturn’s 7 and a half years transit through the 12th, 1st and 2nd house from the moon chart is called Saad Sati and it can create great havoc if the planet is not well placed in the horoscope. In my personal experience I have noticed that even when it is considered a benefic for a chart, the period of Saad Sati often causes obstacles and stress in the life of the person, though the evil effects are not as intense as in the charts of people who have a badly placed Saturn.
Saturn in the first house: If placed in the ascendant in Libra, Sagittarius or Pisces and Aquarius and Capricorn its own signs, Saturn will usually have a good effect. It gives a handsome appearance and a tall, lean body, power and rise in life but at a later age. The nature is quiet and dignified and such people don’t waste their time in frivolities. They are fair, loyal and intellectually inclined.

There is mistrust of others, and such a person has a hard time trusting others. The nature can be self centered and the person will have to struggle a lot in life.
