The Basics
What Rahu actually governs
Rahu isn't a physical planet — it's a shadow point in your chart, the Moon's ascending node, with no rules of its own. Instead it borrows and amplifies whatever it touches: desire, ambition, obsession, the hunger for more.
Mythology gives Rahu an origin story rather than a form: the asura Svarbhanu, beheaded by Vishnu after sneaking a sip of the gods' nectar. The head became Rahu — cunning, insatiable, forever chasing what it can't quite hold onto.
A well-placed Rahu can fast-track wealth, status, and influence, the kind of rise that looks sudden from the outside. Left unchecked, that same hunger can tip into obsession, deception, or a gain that never lasts — which is why astrologers look at Rahu's placement in a chart, not just its house.
