The own house of Rahu is Kumbha, and Ketu's is Vrischika. Rahu's mulatrikona is Mithuna, and Ketu's is Kanya. He is alive and running the major period of Budha. This may be due to other factors. We cannot therefore brush aside the au- Simha is an inimical sign to Rahu and Karka to Ketu. Friendly sign for Rahu is Tula, and for Ketu it is Makara. Their neutral signs are Mesha, Dhanush, and Mina. They have the greatest strength when they are exalted. At other places we have to calculate their strength by the rule of three. In this we have also to consider the nature of the houses and their relation to these houses.
