Who is Rahu?
As per the principles of Vedic Astrology, Rahu is one of the naturally malefic planets which is known for affecting people with sudden and more often than not- negative effects. Rahu is basically the North Node of the Moon and is also called a ‘Shadow Planet’ because it does not have a physical dimension and its existence is subtle in nature. But make no mistake, this subtle element of existence makes the effects of Rahu felt even more than other planets who are physical in nature.
Rahu is also referred to as the ’Dragon’s Tail’ and is a highly feared planet. It primarily signifies Illusion, Cheating, Tricks, Treachery, Lies, Spying, Sudden Events, Lawlessness, Narcotics, Tea Leaves, Saturday Night, Gambling, Disease, Supercomputers, Sophisticated Surgery, Encryption and much more.
