This is a continuation of my series on the \u00e2\u0080\u009cpower levels\u00e2\u0080\u009d of the nodes. Readers interested in the attributed values governing the appearance of this graph are encouraged to read earlier posts in this series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u00e2\u0080\u0099s the logic behind the graph: the blue line represents the cumulative energy that Rahu carries on behalf of planets for whom it can act as a proxy during the period; the red line represents that of Ketu. The vertical scale reflects magnitude of effect only, with no distinction between benefic vs malefic influence. Eventually, this \u00e2\u0080\u009cnodal weather report\u00e2\u0080\u009d may evolve into something more nuanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nApril, now that Jupiter has joined Saturn in Sagittarius, the association of both\nwith that node means each contributes 8 points to Ketu\u00e2\u0080\u0099s \u00e2\u0080\u009cpower level.\u00e2\u0080\u009d Meanwhile,\ntransiting Mars in Taurus aspects Ketu for another 4 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At\na much slower rate (think of it as a background hum), Ketu in Jupiter\u00e2\u0080\u0099s sign\ngives it another 2 points, while in the Sun\u00e2\u0080\u0099s nakshatra Uttara Ashadha<\/em> it gains one final point, for a total of 23 points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nodal “power levels” April 2019<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This continues for most of April. But Jupiter turns retrograde soon after entering Sagittarius, and returns to Scorpio on April 23rd, at which point it no longer associates with Ketu. Consequently, Ketu\u00e2\u0080\u0099s \u00e2\u0080\u009cpower level\u00e2\u0080\u009d drops 8 points, then gets a brief boost as the Moon transits Sagittarius the last week of April before dropping again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout April, Rahu is aspected by Saturn (4 points) and, up until the 23rd, by Jupiter (4 points). Meanwhile, Rahu\u00e2\u0080\u0099s background hum draws 2 points from Mercury\u00e2\u0080\u0099s sign, and another point from Jupiter\u00e2\u0080\u0099s nakshatra Punarvasu<\/em>. That\u00e2\u0080\u0099s 11 points for most of April, with a bump in week 2 as the Moon transits Gemini, then a dropoff in the last week of April when Jupiter retrogrades into Scorpio again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As\na general observation, we can say that the nodes exert their greatest influence\ntowards the end of week 2 in April, affecting anyone with the ascendant,\nluminaries or key planets in the last pada (26deg40-30deg00) of Gemini and\nSagittarius. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
