Two of the Navagraha do not correspond to actual celestial bodies, but the other seven do. Shadow planets, also known as Chaya Grahas, Ketu, and Rahu are the focus of this section. An asura named Swarbhanu pretended to be a Deva to partake of the amrita that Mohini was distributing. Eventually, Surya and Chandra recognized him for what he was\u2014an asura\u2014and told Mohini about it. Mohini then used the Sudarshan chakra to tear his head from his body. On the other hand, as a result of his consuming the Amrita, both his head and his body transformed into eternal creatures. The head was given the name Rahu, while the tail was given the name Ketu.<\/span><\/p>When Rahu and Ketu were elevated to the status of shadow planets, they gained the power to affect the course of people’s life just by being present in their natal charts. In popular notion, it is believed that eclipses are produced by Rahu and Ketu periodically eating the Moon and the Sun in an ongoing feud because these two betrayed both to Mohini. This idea stems from the fact that Rahu and Ketu are said to have betrayed the Sun and the Moon to Mohini.<\/span><\/p>In Hindu astronomy, Rahu and Ketu are symbolic representations of the north lunar node and the south lunar node, respectively. These nodes coincide with the places at which the sun and the moon cross paths as they move around the celestial sphere. These are the points at which eclipses take place.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
