him a million bucks for the privilege, and looking for one that captured
the combination of ethics and humility they represented, he certainly
couldn't have done any better than "Raja" or "Maharaja."

Ketu and Rahu are currently transiting the Aries/Libra axis. Aries is the sign
of the Self and Libra of the Other. Can mean a lot of upheaval and karmic burn
