Rahu and Ketu in Brighu Astrology by Dr. N. Srinivasan Shastry, published in English by Sagar Publications, explores the role of the two lunar nodes — Rahu and Ketu — through the lens of the Brighu system of astrology. Rahu and Ketu are among the most discussed and debated elements in Vedic chart interpretation, and this volume approaches them through a specific traditional lineage that has its own interpretive conventions and predictive logic. The text is directed at practitioners who want to understand how these shadowy planets function within the Brighu framework, which differs in several respects from the more widely known Parashari approach. It is a specialist text that rewards careful, focused reading.
In Vedic astrology, Rahu and Ketu are considered shadow grahas — the north and south lunar nodes — and are traditionally associated with karmic patterns, past-life influences, and the cycles of transformation and detachment respectively. The Brighu tradition is believed to offer a distinct set of principles for interpreting their house placements, transits, and dashas. Scholars of this lineage hold that understanding these nodes is essential for accurate predictions around sudden changes, foreign connections, and spiritual evolution.
