The story of Rāhu and Ketu begins during the distribution of Amṛta after the Samudra Manthana. An Asura named Svarbhānu disguised himself as a Deva and sat among the Devas, hoping to drink the nectar of immortality. But Sūrya Deva and Candra Deva recognised him and revealed his identity. Before the Amṛta could pass through his entire body, Śrī Viṣṇu, in the form of Mohinī, used the Sudarśana Cakra and severed his head. Svarbhānu had already tasted the Amṛta, so his head could no longer die. It became known as Rāhu. In the widely known later form of the story, his headless body became Ketu. Rāhu is the head without a body. He can see, desire and consume, yet he can never experience complete satisfaction. Ketu is the body without a head. He represents separation from ordinary identity, detachment, inward movement and the gradual release of worldly attachment. The story also explains their relationship with Sūrya and Candra. Rāhu repeatedly attempts to obscure them, giving rise to the traditional account of solar and lunar eclipses. But the light is only covered temporarily. It is never destroyed. In Jyotiṣa, Rāhu and Ketu form one axis. One draws us towards experience, ambition and attachment. The other separates us from what no longer carries meaning. One creates hunger. The other asks what remains when that hunger has been exhausted.
