When Rahu and Ketu are in common (dvisvabhava) signs, and when the lords of those signs or Rahu and Ketu are with the lords of kendras and konas, the native has wealth, power and the like during their periods. If they are with or aspected by the lords of 6, 8 or 12, there is little benefit to the native. But during their major period the native’s mother or his maternal relatives will die.
