Rahu and Ketu, the two nodal points of the Moon, cosntitute the core of Vedic astrology. Ancient Indian seers visualised the north and the south nodes of the Moon as the most interesting and mysterious planetary influences. However, Rahu and Ketu have either beein ugnored or misunderstood in studies of Vedic astrology.
