Rahu in 10th House – Ketu in 4th House

The fourth house is emotional and contemplative strength. It is our emotional foundation from which we operate in the world. Moveable houses always begin something new. When the nodes conjoin one of the moveable houses, the person can get stuck when it is time to do something new. The fourth house is a house of feeling. It is more difficult to flow with emotions as they come when Ketu is in the fourth house. The person can get stuck on one emotion, no matter if it is positive or negative or somewhere in-between.

The person can only feel a certain way and that feeling is a security to them. If they felt another way as a child, or certain feelings were expressed, they were punished for those feelings or made to feel ashamed of them. As a coping mechanism, they are now stuck in feeling a certain way about most things.

Ketu deals in absolutes. Ketu wants perfection but also security in that perfection. Reaching a state of perfection in how one feels is exhausting and frustrating so the person sticks to feeling one way about everything, they are uptight about feelings and if they must confront their own hurtful feeling, they will usually withdraw and not deal with them at all.

The angular houses indicate new things. With Ketu in the fourth, the person is designed to do something new but can become stuck when trying to do something new. The new venture, no matter what it is, cannot get off the ground without significant challenges. Angular houses are also reflections. A person can enter a relationship because of how they feel (fourth house) but if they feel bad about themselves, the relationship will reflect that feeling.

The person probably had an anxious, apprehensive mother that was either highly scrutinizing or critical. The person is uneasy and tense regarding their feelings. They do not like to feel certain feelings and are accustomed to remaining in a certain type of feeling. When they were young, they may have been shamed, punished or ignored if they displayed a wide array of emotions. By feeling a certain way, whether negative or positive, they are able to feel secure and that everything will be OK. But their feeling is not true, it is just comfortable. If they deviate in their feelings, that is threatening to them.

The feeling can run the gamut from happiness to deep depression. The person who feels happy all the time is more fun to associate with, however this way of being is pathological because they are not relaxed and allowing for the free flow of feeling. These are the types that go around saying, “Everything is love” and “Live, Love, Laugh”. It is all unicorns and rainbows but this is an unhealthy state of emotional deceit. How they are really feeling is shown by what they are doing (Rahu in the tenth house). These are the more difficult to read Ketu in the fourth house people.

Others can express a feeling of apprehension about everything that comes into their lives or expect the worst from all situations. Sometimes a child is not allowed to feel happiness because of a miserable parent. When they begin doing actions more enthusiastically and not because of what society expects, then they will begin to feel better and improve their emotional peace.

Rahu in the tenth house shows that there are actions a person can take to make them shine in the world, where they will be recognized for their actions and this in turn will make them feel happier and more content.

The Dwadasamsa (D12) will reveal what it is the person experienced in their life that prevents them from feeling happy. Rahu and Ketu are the key planets in the Dwadasamsa. The Dwadasamsa reveals “happiness with parents” but also the ancestral and past life karma. Ketu in the fourth house in the Birth Chart often makes a person feel like they do not deserve to be happy. It is important that the person do the inner work to understand they are the factor of happiness or unhappiness in their emotional life and no one else. They must realize they have the power to change their emotional state.

Ketu’s placement reveals where we desire to be punished because that part of our life is not perfect. Ketu deals in absolutes. Ketu relishes victimization. Because of Ketu’s role in destruction of the ego, he will stifle and limit that area of life he touches. By embracing Rahu, the person can relax and let go in the area of Ketu, and come to a healthy balance. The person must transcend the feeling of wanting to destroy the area of life that Ketu touches.

Rahu and Ketu in angles have a significant effect on happiness in relationships. The reason is that they reveal the relationship we have with ourselves that began with our dependent relationship with our parents. We are living out the relationship with ourselves in relationships with our partner and other people. When we heal the negative, vicious, critical inner voice, and recognize it for what it is, then we are able to move forward in more peace and fulfillment in our relationships. The most important thing to realize is that we have the power to change.

Those with Rahu in the tenth often do become materially successful and this shows them that they have the power to use that in their emotional life to become a more contented person.

Rahu in 4th House, Ketu in 10th House

The Fourth house is the foundation of our life because it is our emotional strength and groundedness. How we feel at any given time will determine our actions (tenth house). If your emotional outlook is filled with turmoil and negativity, this will reflect in our actions. This nodal position is one of the most critical nodal positions and must be handled well by the native or it can wreak havoc in their life. The reason this position is important is because of Rahu in the fourth house.

The foundation of our primary emotional security is given to us by our mother. When Rahu occupies the fourth house, that foundation has been established in a chaotic, unreliable fashion or it has not been established at all. The person does not have a firm emotional/spiritual level of solidity. That is something new they must develop indicated by Rahu. They do this through inner work and contemplation.

The fourth house indicates where the Sun is at midnight. It is the darkest point and the innermost point. The outermost point is where the Sun is at noon. This is the midheaven. Ketu is here indicating the person’s security comes from doing actions. They are not in touch with their feelings enough to understand the reasons behind their motivations. Their choices are not made based on how they really feel.

These people have a high capacity for activity. They tell themselves that if hey succeed in activity, usually through their work or career, then their lives are secure and they do not have to worry. Because the actions are not based on emotional truth due to Rahu in the fourth house, the activities do not give satisfaction or fulfillment.

The tenth house is where we are seen. Ketu in the tenth perform actions so they can be seen and secondarily to get status and respect. People with this position will oftentimes end up competing with their partner.

The person had a false mother influence in their life. Rahu is where we pretend, something about the mother was fake, false or pretending. The person usually does not have a good relationship with their mother. If they do, there is usually something missing.

Due to the lack of a strong emotional foundation, the native feels unloved or unappreciated and small transgressions or misunderstandings can trigger these feelings. As a result, they react in anger or fear and will push away those that may try to love them. It is important for the native to dive deep into their heart and soul and face the darkest part of themselves, the part where Rahu resides. The native needs to sit down, shut-up and be with their feelings. The native should lay around and do nothing for a certain amount of time each day. They should not watch TV, read, write, do nothing except listen to their feelings. When they sort out and get in touch with their feelings, they can begin to make progress spiritually because the fourth house is a Moksha house, a house of liberation and an element of emotional happiness and peace must be acquired before ego-identification can be discarded.

Sometimes Rahu in the fourth will cause a person not to feel happiness or satisfaction from their actions. If the person has violent tendencies, Rahu in the fourth will cause them to do violent, terrible actions without conscience inhibiting them.

Regarding relationships, oftentimes, they end up unhappy because they are so out of touch with their feelings and cannot emotionally connect with their partner in a fulfilling way or the partner they are with is not right for them. They may have chosen the partner for reasons other than feeling. This position can indicate a lack of passion because the person is learning what they really love, what emotionally motivates them. When they do understand this part of themselves, then they can ignite their passion.

To feel vibrant and alive, we should choose to do actions based on what we love, what emotionally motivates us. To feed these actions, we must strive to improve them and make them better through more actions which is the tenth house.

Rahu in the fourth can also give the person a false idea about how others are feeling so they will come across as insensitive or cruel. This position gives a lack of self-awareness and the person does not judge correctly what others think of them or when they are in danger or intensely disliked. They can feel that people blow up at them for no reason. It is because their gage on feelings, their own and those of others, is faulty.

The fourth house is where we form a deeper understanding of the knowledge and wisdom of the past. Rahu in the fourth will cause a person to reject this wisdom from the past and have a distaste for the past in general. They do this because they cannot understand what those from the past were trying to convey and translate that into modern terms.

Another indication of this placement is the person tends to change their mind quite often. Because they are not in touch with how they really feel, the wind of opinions and desires can blow them in many different directions. The biggest favor and most healing advice are for them to get in touch with their feelings. This cannot be emphasized enough. Until they do this, attempting the realignment of their True Self is nearly impossible.
