Rahu

Rahu's dilemma

Rahu's characteristics, by bhava, rashi, drishti, the disposition of His lord etc.
will reveal that which one passionately wants, but which one can obtain
only by means of trickery

Rahu indicates the part of the life script in which the native must deploy
some shape-shifting artifice, whether self-deceptive or deceiving of
others, in order to gainentrance to a forbidden realm

Rahu the Rogue = an interloper, a fraud, a charlatan, and a poseur.

Rahu wants to be included in the world of the gods. But, Rahu is not a real
deity. Rahu sneaks into righteous realms through trickery.

Rahu the Rogue = an appropriator

Rahu tends to appropriate the property or established environment of

another, like a bird that comes to use the nest of another bird.

Rahu the Poseur will take the place, privileges, accomplishments, and even
the clothing of another

Rahu the Rogue= a wanna-be.

Rahu can be mesmerizing and attractive like Shukra.

However, Rahu will shape-shift to imitate any graha who is His co-tenant or
His Lord.

Rahu the Rogue = illegitimate, a taboo-breaker, a rogue deity.

The planetary gods do not recognize or accept Rahu.

Vishnu was insulted and enraged when He saw Rahu lift the cup of Amrita to
those snake-like lips.

Vishnu flung His diamond-sharp discus across the room and sliced Rahu in
half, instantly, for his crime.

Rahu the Reptile

Is creepy, surreptitious, slimy, and cold

Is instinctive, compulsive, unable to control Himself

Rahu the Rogue = never rests.

Rahu = working overtime, trying to receive validation in a role for which He

isimproperly qualified.

Rahu = always scheming a new approach toward getting what He is not

entitled to have.

Rahu the Rogue = an embezzler.

He slowly leeches the life force consciousness as He pursues an endless

series of hot but fleeting material desires.

His methods are devious and surreptitious, driven by a deep hunger for
validation through the experience of Possession

Rahu is never satisfied.

Rahu is the Reptile Brain.

Good results from Rahu the Rogue:

Rahu is good whenever a "break-through" is good.

Rahu can disrupt fossilized, outdated, oppressive regimes. In a house where

dishonesty or repression have become repetitively problematic, Rahu can
be a positive force to break through habitually negative, depriving, fearful, or
hateful mentalities.

Rahu in 5 may allow a child adoption which has benefits for all involved. Rahu
in 9 may provide wisdom via a foreign religion or guru-cult.

Rahu can be the agent of much-needed change in overly rigid social systems,
dysfunctional locked-in family behaviors, and loveless marriages

Rahu can be the engine of identity change, altering the appearance of the
psycho-physical-attribute package (the personality) to permit the native
to change social classes and nationality, to penetrate crime rings, to be a
"poseur" in ways that give (at least temporarily) positive results

Rahu can serve as a "break-through" agent of spiritual and psychological

change in the early stages of authentic enlightenment processes; however
Rahu's method's are generally suspect.

For example He may provide hallucinogenic drugs to break through the

barriers of conventional perception. In the short run, this psychological
disruption can provide a launch for deeper and longer lasting spiritual
inquiry. In the long run, drug use becomes an infinite loop of increasing
desires.

Rahu can be a "pre-emptive" catalyst for urgently needed change.

o

Rahu can provide the extramarital affair that shocks married partners
into paying more attention to their partner communication before the
marriage collapses.

Rahu can be the sudden invasion of a country that shocks the nation
into strengthening its defenses before a major conflict arises.

Rahu can be the failing grade which causes the student to reorganize
one's time and re-commitment to diligent study before expulsion.

Rahu can be the "bad company" which tricks the unconscious native
into dangerous and illicit social situations. If Shani is strong however
the native will recognize the trick and consciously return, wiser and
chastened, to reliable customs and rules. Rahu can help the native
transition from blind following of convention to wise understanding of
the practical reasons for law and custom.
