The Rahu period follows the Mars period and precedes the Jupiter period.

Like any other planet, Rahu manifests itself in different ways in different charts and, accordingly, its period will proceed in different ways for different people.

It is very important in which house Rahu is located (he is good in the 3rd, 6th, 11th – sometimes even in the 10th), how strong his dispositor, the owner of his nakshatra, is important his connection with other planets through connections, aspects and Navamsa.

However, there are general trends to be expected during the main Rahu period.

These tendencies are associated with the natural qualities of Rahu, that is, his karaka was – natural meanings.

Old stereotypes are broken, and a person finds himself in a completely new situation since Rahu is a symbol of everything new.

This is difficult for many people, especially people of the conservative type, who do not like anything new, and if the new circumstances are not so favourable.

Sometimes a person during this period loses everything that he had and he has to start all over again.

The first 6 months of the Rahu period can be especially difficult because a person has to adapt to new and rapidly changing circumstances.

This period usually gives rise to misunderstandings with loved ones or workers, promotes all kinds of upheavals, the manifestation of a rebellious spirit, the loss or acquisition of social status, the acquisition of mystical experience and extremes in indulging the senses.

The changes that occur during this period can push a person to any path, true or false, depending on other indicators of the horoscope.

You can understand how the next 18 years of life will pass by what happens in the first two years of this period (maha-dasha Rahu / Antar-dasha with Rahu).

In general, we can say that this is a somewhat adventurous period that forces a person to explore new areas of life and helps to end old stereotypes.

This is a period that makes a person look for something new outside, filling a person with new expectations.

It gives a lot of new experience, as a person is ready to embark on a new unknown path.

This is the time when the forbidden fruit seems especially sweet and desirable.

During this period, the native is prone to immoral and criminal acts, because Rahu makes it difficult to control the senses and pushes a person to gain new sensory experience.

Rahu does not know the sense of proportion, and therefore he inclines the native to uncontrolled expansion, depending on the position in the chart.

As a rule, during this period some foreign element appears in a person’s life. This can manifest itself on a personal or professional level.

Everything foreign becomes especially attractive to a person, and he either wins or suffers from this, depending on the position of Rahu in the chart.

In any case, this is for the good, because a person learns from this experience. The end of the influence of this foreign element usually occurs in the sub-period of Saturn, since Saturn is a symbol of native traditions.

The Rahu period reveals deep-rooted desires to a person, which may or may not correspond to the true path, depending on the general inclination of the card.

These desires, as a rule, are very strong and unquenchable, which corresponds to the base nature of Rahu.

During this period, there is a tendency to abuse all types of intoxications. If the Rahu period falls during childhood and adolescence, this can make the native almost uncontrollable.

Also in his youth, Rahu interferes with studies, because the strengthening of material desires under the influence of the Rahu period can create many obstacles in the mind and interfere with the assimilation of knowledge.

During this period, a person can gain fame, fortune and material prosperity. But if a person tries during this period to unrestrainedly spread his influence everywhere, this can lead to a fall.

These material goods most likely come in the sub-periods of Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury and Venus. The Rahu-Mercury and Rahu-Venus periods are especially suitable for this because Mercury and Venus are the bearers of material wealth and close friends of Rahu.

This is more likely if Mercury and Venus are strong and beneficial in the horoscope.

The Rahu-Lunar period can also give good results if the Moon is strong, growing and in good relations with Rahu in the natal chart.

It is very important to take into account the relationship of Rahu with the planets – the owners of the sub-periods. If they are in the 6th, 8th, 12th houses from the house of Rahu, a person will experience some difficulties.

However, it must be remembered that these houses can give good results if the planets are strong in them.

The same results can be observed if the host planets of the subperiods are the governors of the 6th, 8th or 12th houses from Rahu.

If the planets are in the 2nd and 7th houses from Rahu, during the sub-periods of these planets, the native can expect material benefits, but there is a danger of a sudden accident or even death if other factors in the horoscope also indicate this.

Similar results can come if the host planets of the subperiods are the lords of the 2nd and 7th houses from Rahu. It is also important to understand the position of the dispositor of Rahu.

Rahu, being a shadow planet, reflects the results of the lord of the sign-in which Rahu is located.

If this planet is strongly located on the chart, Rahu will give better results.

If the dispositor is in harmony with Rahu, being in trine from him, in the sub-period of this planet in the main period of Rahu, good results can be expected.

If the dispositor is in the 6th, 8th or 12th houses from Rahu, then difficulties and upheavals can be expected in the depositor’s sub-period.

It is important to assess the position of the Rahu house. Rahu is especially strong when it is associated with important points in the horoscope such as the Ascendant and the 10th house.

Like any harmful planet, Rahu is just as strong in the 3rd, 6th and 11th houses.

Usually, Rahu bears fruit by the nature of the house.

It is also important to assess the position of Rahu in the sign.

Rahu gives good material results in Taurus, Gemini, Virgo.

In Scorpio, Sagittarius, Aquarius and Pisces, he is more inclined to give spiritual results – if there are other indicators in the chart indicating this.

Rahu period analysis example

Let’s analyze the Rahu period.

In a chart, Rahu is in the 11th house, in Pisces, in the Purva-Bhadra-pada nakshatra (Jupiter), aspects the Sun in the 3rd and Mars in the 7th.

Rahu himself exchanges aspects with Jupiter.

It lasted from 1987 to 2005.

Since Rahu is in the sign and nakshatra of Jupiter and takes the 7th aspect from him, spirituality manifested itself during this period, which was a completely new topic for the native.

On the other hand, the native could not overcome the smoking habit during this period, which is typical of the influence of Rahu.

During this period, the native was quite happy, because

Venus is in the 4th from Rahu and aspects the 10th from Rahu.

The moon in the 3rd from Rahu manifested itself in the fact that the native often took part in the filming and was a recognizable face on TV.

In D-9, Rahu is in the Cancer Navamsha, which falls into the 3rd house in D-1, and therefore the sphere of communications, participation in the media during this period is also confirmed by this factor.

The aspect of Rahu on the 3rd house says the same thing.

The aspect of Rahu on the Sun enhances ego and self-conceit during this period.

But finances came to him slowly.

Saturn is located in the 2nd from Rahu.

Numerous attempts to get married during this period were unsuccessful, because despite Jupiter in the 7th from Rahu, Ketu is also there, and Rahu himself aspects Mars in the 7th house, complicating relation.

Surya and Chandra expose the deception of the demon Svarbhanu, who, after cutting off his head, turns into Rahu and Ketu …
