Our Sanskriti & Gyan Temples Pooja, Darshan, and Timings Rahu Ketu Peyarchi Homam in Srisailam is performed outside the Srisailam Temple. One of the most important celestial events for Vedic astrologers is the forward movement of Rahu and Ketu, known as Peyarchi. Rahu and Ketu are always retrograde, entering into a new sign every 18 months (1.8 years) or so, during which earthquake-level shifts in collective karma, life path, career, and emotional state take place.
When these karmic nodal forces affect important houses in a natal chart, astrologers often recommend performing the Rahu Ketu Peyarchi Homam (fire ritual). Vedic ritual is performed to attract beneficial cosmic forces, remove obstructions, and nullify malefic celestial effects.
Rahu and Ketu aren’t planets. They’re the mathematical north and south nodes of the Moon. Rahu rules technology, illusion, sudden gains or losses of money, material aspirations, obsessive desires (Maya), and worldly desires. Ketu relates to spirituality, surrender, liberation, instinct, and karma. They change the energy pattern of the houses they transit upon moving into new zodiac signs, often causing conflict, sudden breaks, or periods of radical change.
