Drugs, Addiction and Planets.
Drugs, intoxication, and addiction are connected with different planets in astrology.
Ketu is linked with tobacco and pan masala. Saturn is connected with substances like bhang, weed, ganja, and charas. Rahu represents stronger drugs such as methamphetamine, heroin, LSD, codeine, morphine, opium, and cocaine.
Alcohol is believed to be formed by the influence of the Moon, Saturn, and Rahu together("somras" you might know).
Now the second in horoscope often seen as house of food, eating, drinking, family, wealth and money. If you're doing any kind of intoxication then your 2nd house will get affected.
Sage Jaimini also associated Ketu with tobacco.
There's a state-level politician who has Saturn and Ketu in the second house of his horoscope, and he constantly chews pan masala. I have personally seen his horoscope so thought of giving you a guess.
In one horoscope, a person had Ketu in the second house, and the lord of the second house was weak and placed in the sixth house. The ascendant was Gemini.
That person worked in a pan masala shop for eight years.
People usually take intoxicants because of mental stress, enjoyment, or bad company. In a way, intoxication takes the mind into a different state and gives temporary freedom from thoughts, mainly calming the Moon, which represents the mind.
Since intoxicants are poisonous, they are usually consumed through the mouth or nose, though injections are also used in some countries.
The second house is considered important because it represents food and intake. When the Moon, the second house from the Moon, or the second house from the ascendant are affected by Saturn, Rahu, or Ketu, and the sixth house is also afflicted, it can lead to unhealthy consumption habits. The eighth house represents addiction and chronic habits, so a person may become addicted to smoking or drugs.
The problem becomes worse if the planetary periods (dashas) of these planets are active. In such cases, it becomes very difficult to stop the person.
One of the examples is, where the lord of the eighth house, Mars, was placed with Venus and Rahu and aspected by Saturn. Since the eighth house represents addiction, Saturn’s influence led the person toward marijuana, while Venus and Rahu together also created the tendency for alcohol. So the person became addicted to both alcohol and marijuana.
Who can successfully quit addiction?
People whose Moon and second house are supported by benefic planets, whose Moon is not too close to the Sun, whose ascendant is strong, and whose third house (which represents willpower) is strong, have better chances. A good planetary period also helps.
