Rahu and Ketu: The Karmic Nodes
Rahu and Ketu are shadow planets... and quite karmic!
Rahu and Ketu show what past life karma you've completed already, and what karma you are here to create in this life time. Remember, "karma" simply means "action". Therefore, we can see what you spent time doing in previous lives, and what you are here to work towards in this life.
Rahu brings unconventional thinking, foreigners, misdiagnosis, mystery, materialism, and insatiable desires. Wherever Rahu is in your chart, it will bring an obsessive quality to the house it's in and planets it's placed with. Ketu is the opposite. Ketu brings separation, isolation, moksha, and spiritual enlightenment. Ketu is what you've already achieved in past lives and what gifts you inherently bring into this life.
Rahu and Ketu come together. They will always oppose one another in a birth chart. You cannot have one without the other. As the nodes turn and transit the sky, they will bring various karmic lessons into our lives.

Saturn in Vedic Astrology: Discipline, Restriction, Calamity
Saturn delays but it never denies. Saturn is a guru, but generally delivers his messages by demanding us to work... hard. But once we fully understand the messages of Saturn, we will generally reap the rewards for a long time. Saturn is longevity, hard earned lessons, discipline, determination, service to others, and also restriction, calamity, death, and karmic lessons.
With a strong, well placed Saturn, one may be very service oriented with a lot of self determination, will power, and discipline. You may be a social worker, lawyer, or judge. Those with a weak or afflicted Saturn may find it difficult to muster determination or to have discipline in areas of life that may not bring them immediate satisfaction or joy.
Saturn is the planet responsible for "Saturn Return" and "Sade Sati". Both are these are very karmic times that we experience in life. They deliver a sort of rebirth that may come with loss and what feels like desperation.
Saturn does not deliver lessons that aren't mandatory. Knowing where Saturn is in your chart can help liberate and direct you by knowing what you are meant to be learning and working on.
Saturn rules the legs, feeet, nerves, lymph system, chronic disease, teeth, bones, and the immune system.

Venus in Vedic Astrology: Artistic Expression, Romance, Beauty
Venus is luxury. Pleasure, senses, the type of foods we consume, clothes we wear, and cars we drive. Most importantly of all, Venus is love, romance, attraction -AND out ability to give and receive love. A strong Venus can create someone that's idealistic in love, delves deep into artistic expression, and is naturally attractive. Those with a weaker Venus may approach love with a much more cautious and judgmental mindset.
Venus rules over the face, eyes, kidneys, pancreas, urinary system, and sexual organs.
Venus can also represent Bhakti and love for spirituality and God. Like Jupiter, Venus is also a spiritual teacher and leader of esoteric knowledge.

Jupiter in Vedic Astrology: Prosperity, Luck, Philosophy
Jupiter is the great benefic. Wherever Jupiter lies it generally brings prosperity, growth, expansion, good fortune, spirituality, and knowledge.
Jupiter represents good karma, generosity, philosophy, faith based practices, preaching, and tradition. Jupiter is the type of teachers that we are drawn to and the teachers that we will find. Those with a strong Jupiter may find themselves keeping higher learning and philosophy close to their hearts. They love to constantly learn and to immediately teach what they've learned to others. Those with a weak Jupiter may find themselves running out of luck, experiencing melancholy, keeping information to themselves, and turned off by organized religion/spirituality.
Jupiter can also represent over indulgence! Wherever Jupiter lies, it can expand the qualities and characteristics of that house and the sign it's in. Jupiter rules over the liver, gull bladder, thighs, knees, spleen, ears, and fat... be wary of sweets!

Mercury in Vedic Astrology: Intellect, Communication, Humor
In comparison to the moon which is your emotional and intuitive mind, Mercury is your analytic and intellectual mind. Mercury represents logic, organization, technology, speech, analysis, math, astrology, writing, sense of humor, and ability to communicate. Mercury is your ability to gather, process, analyze, and utilize information. Those with a strong mercury may be mathematicians, writers, publicists, musicians, public speakers, or businesspeople. Those with a weak mercury may experience difficulty learning. They may find that they process information in unusual or unconventional ways. Mercury is also our humor and wit, but may also be discriminating and critical... which sometimes may go together!
