Effects of Rahu

Planet Rahu is not a planet in actuality but is a node of Moon. It is well known so no need
to go into that. But almost all scriptures have given more importance to Rahu Ketu than
actual planets. Rahu is the head of the demon who had swallowed one drop of nectar as
per the ancient mythology. Lord vishnu himself had to come to kill the demon and the
head having nectar in the throat was called Rahu. The rest of the body is Ketu.

There is a saying, “Kujwat Ketu Shani Vat Rahu” which means, Rahu is like Saturn and
Ketu is like Mars. Rahu is considered to be a major benefic in 3, 6,10,11 Upchaya houses
and in 10th it is considered most powerful that can confer all the luxuries of materialistic
life.
In Nakshatra Chintamani, C.R.Bhatt writes –
1) Rahu-Ketu as agent — Rahu or Ketu is not alloted the ownership of any sign. It only
occupies the sign in a house. So, they work as an agent of:

(a) The planet with whom it is in conjunction or aspect

(b) The owner of the sign in which it is placed

2) They give results firstly,the results of the planets in conjunction. With it,secondly the
result of the planet aspecting it, thirdly the result of its own star Lord,fourthly the result
of the owner of the sign occupied by it.

3) Rahu Ketu as star Lord - If Rahu Ketu becomes star Lord of any planet, the planet will
signify the matters of the house occupied by it; that planet will indicate the matters of the
house owned and occupied by the star Lord of Rahu-Ketu; that planet will denote the
matters of the house occupied and owned by the owner of the sign occupied by Rahu-
Ketu.

4)Rahu-Ketu as significator – Rahu-Ketu are stronger than any planet, so if Rahu or Ketu
represents any significator planet, they should be given first preference as a significator in
place of that significator planet.

5) They are not to be treated as retrograde planets as their natural motion is in the
opposite direction.

Generally, when Rahu occupies ascendant, it creates a lot of problems for the native. His
thought process gets weird first of all. He will be very proudy, will talk of big plans, will
be ready to get into fight anywhere, will always try to show his presence this way or the
other.
In Dasha, Bhukti, Antara also when Rahu comes (if not well placed) creates a lot of
mental tensions, losses of finance, bad luck. Rahu is the main planet for making a person
haunted by spirits, evil and allied stuff. Black magic is also experienced by people having
bad Rahu in its DBA. Rahu also gives fruitless lossful travels, it also makes one get
irritated by his bad fate to the extreme of committing suicide, theft in house,
imprisonment, bad married life, bad character of wife or husband, abusive language,
dominance, abortions or miscarriages.

Rahu also makes one great devotee of Maa Durga. It also makes great freedom fighters,
politicians, leaders, people who live differently think differently. It makes one anti social
and unsocial also. It connects with public also, lower caste people. It indulges one into
prostitution, mating with widows, other’s wives, unnatural sexual habits, banned drugs
seller, homosexuality and the list is endless. Almost in all the diverted events of life,
unexpected events somehow Rahu makes its presence. Rahu makes one believe in black
magic and makes one resort to (ghostbusters) people who deal in spirits,ghosts,etc.

There is one more peculiarity, iIn DBA of Rahu people get money in their accounts.
Unaccounted money, they don’t know from where it came but they do get it, amounts
differ. In the Hindi version of this article, many readers confirmed it. Somebody got
20,000 some 10,000 and one native got 1 Lac Rupees in instalments and I also got 10,000
in my account in Pratyantara of Rahu. It is still a mystry from where that money came.

When Rahu decides to give (even God Kuber) the Lord of wealth seems small, and when
it comes on taking, even the last cloth of the native is taken away.

Conjunction of Rahu with Moon, Mars, Venus, Sun, Saturn is very inauspicious in natal
chart or in Navamsa. These people have strange kind of mental and physical problems
which remains till the DBA is there, depending upon the houses.
