What is Controlling Planets?

spiritual GIFThe planets ruling the
signs of Rahu and Ketu are called the Controlling planets. Since Ketu is the
inlet point of Karma, the planet ruling the sign of Ketu is called the past
life Karmic Control. The planet ruling the sign of Rahu controls the Karmic
Distribution Control. The controlling planets have strong implications
depending upon where they fall in the chart and the aspects they make with the
nodal axis. This aspect made by the controlling planet to the nodal axis is of
great significance in Karmic understanding. Since the Nodes are in exact
opposition, the aspects made by the planet to both the Nodes will always be
complimentary. For all practical purposes, we should take the shortest or
smallest aspect between the controlling planet and the Nodal axis.


Coming back to our
illustration, ruler of the sign occupied by Ketu is Mars and the ruler of the
sign occupied by Rahu is Venus, i.e., Mars and Venus are the Controlling
Planets in this Nativity. Mars is the planet of the past life Karmic Control
and Venus is the planet of Karmic Distribution Control.

First we are to considers
the position of his Mars. Mars is in Libra in 10th house. Combine
the characteristics of all the three elements, i.e. Mars, Libra and the 10th
house and we will get the clear picture. The characteristics of Mars – Fire,
quarrels, energy, initiative, effort, pain etc., i.e. in his past incarnation,
he was quarrelsome, fiery, and full of energy. As he could not balance himself
in past incarnation (Libra sign), he is to suffer in this incarnation in his
married life (Libra-sign of marriage) and his vocation (10th house).
Mars is the ruler of the 4th he will suffer in his 4th
house affairs in this incarnation, i.e. mother, domestic peace and harmony etc.
It is due to his past life karmic control.

Next planet to be
considered is Venus – the planet of Karmic Distribution Control. Key Notes for
Venus are – love, beauty, money etc. Venus is in the first house in Capricorn.
We are to blend these three characteristics (Venus, First house and Capricorn)
to understand the Karmic Distribution Control in this incarnation. Capricorn is
the sign of ambition but of restrictions also and the first house means
`person’. Naturally the present life of the native will be full of ambitions
but of restrictions also with regard to the Keynotes of Venus (love, affection
and money).

Mars conjunction Rahu in
the 10th house, (Orb is 10 degree) in Libra. This is quite a
fortunate and powerful aspect. Strong personal elevation is sought in life,
basically due to Karmic hidden support. 
Money and resources become key issues behind the go-getter professional
image. Strong tensions with father are noticed since early childhood. Temper
and aggressiveness go hand-in-hand to achieve the objective without wasting any
time. Physical sex drive is often at its highest and it has certain past life
connections. Sometimes these connections are in the form of unfinished
manipulation or simple `get even’ from the previous life. It seems like the
Martian energies are coupled with the previous memories and they have a
Scorpion touch. Strong assistance from brothers and sisters is seen in getting
ahead in life or vice-versa.



Venus square Rahu/Ketu.
This is quite a frustrating or stressful aspect. However, it does provide a lot
of fighting spirit to the native to overcome many obstacles. It seems that he
is to learn his Karmic lessons substantially in details. These minute lessons
come from many areas of life. This aspect has the most Karmic learning process
in native’s life. Thus he fulfils substantial balance of Karma in this life
alone. Strongly it may not seem so because he is learning from so many
directions and without concentrating on any particular area of life. Thus, as
he goes through higher reincarnations, he has good and stiff stamina to cope up
with added life process. This sounds like basic Karmic training. Affairs of
money and possessions are very significant, consciously or unconsciously.
Circumstances behave strongly with him in this aspect. When he plans to go
after resources and money matters, circumstances force him to become
anti-materialistic. On the other hand, if he decides to withdraw from the
material luxury, he gets circumstantially tangled with other’s resources and
their management. Somehow, whatever his choice is, circumstances force him to
change his strategy continuously. This goes on until he balance is fully
understood.
