Planet Rahu: Attributes, Transit & Remedies
Rahu which is the North Node of the Moon, is one of the ‘Naturally Malefic’ planets in Vedic Astrology. Though Rahu is not as feared as Saturn or Shani, its malefic influence on a person is not to be underestimated. This is simply because Rahu is a ‘Shadow Planet’ which means that it does not have a physical dimension attached to it and it is because of this non-physical existential property of Rahu, its effects are felt very strongly & suddenly in life.
Rahu creates confusion & illusion, making a person lose clarity in thinking and negatively impacts the decision making process. When Rahu is not placed in a favourable position (which by the way are not many) in the natal horoscope of a person, it wreaks havoc in the life of that person. People with a negatively placed Rahu in their horoscope, find its Dasha (planetary period of operation) really troubling.
Keep reading to know more about the Shadow Planet Rahu, its effects on people, and the remedial measures that help in pacifying the negative effects of an ill-placed Rahu in the horoscope. Get powerful remedies that are time-tested and have the potential to ward off the troubling effects of Rahu which is considered as a naturally malefic planet in Vedic Astrology.

Lordship of Signs
Rahu and for that matter Ketu (South Node of the Moon) are both Shadow Planets, therefore they do not command the Lordship of any sign. However, it is the opinion & belief of many astrologers as per their own analysis, that Rahu is exalted in the Sign of Taurus and Ketu is exalted in the sign of Scorpio whereas Rahu is debilitated in the sign of Scorpio and Ketu is debilitated in the sign of Taurus.
The association of the Air element with planet Rahu adds to the already unpredictable nature of the ‘notorious planet’.
Attributes
Rahu signifies Confusion, Material Lust, Deceit, Spying, High-End Technology, Secretive Affairs, Occult, Paternal Grandfather, Gambling, Narcotics etc.
Gemstone
The gemstone that is associated with Rahu is Hessonite (Gomed).
Significance of Rahu’s Transit
Rahu on an average takes about 1.5 years or 18 months to transit from one sign of the Zodiac Belt to the next. It must be noted that Rahu as well as Ketu ‘always’ move in the retrograde motion.
The transit of Rahu more often not, brings sudden & drastic changes in the life of a person depending upon various factors such as:
- Placement of Rahu in the person's Natal Horoscope
- House & Sign through which Rahu is currently transiting
- Other planetary conjunctions & aspects to Rahu on the transit level
It is highly recommended that a person must be aware at all times about the likely effects of the ongoing transit of Rahu on certain key aspects of his/her life so that the person would get into a position of making informed decisions that would prove to be rewarding in the time to come.
Rahu is a naturally malefic planet hence, one must consult with an experienced astrologer to know what the Shadow Planet is signifying for him/her as per its placement in the natal horoscope as well as its transitory movement in the Zodiac Belt. Therefore, it is highly recommended that one must always go through what the ongoing/upcoming transit of Rahu has in store for the person.
Remedies for Rahu
In order to lead a life that is free from serious troubles, it is extremely important to negate or pacify to whatever extent possible, the malefic effects of Rahu. Remember, Rahu is a malefic planet which if ill-placed in the horoscope of a person brings unprecedented & sudden problems that derail the person’s life altogether from the path of smooth & positive growth.
To pacify the malefic effects of Rahu, certain donations & Vedic Rituals are suggested which if performed after being recommended by an experienced astrologer, can negate or significantly reduce the negative results that an unfavourably placed or transiting Rahu is slated to provide.
Therefore, it is prudent to get your horoscope thoroughly analyzed by an experienced astrologer and take the steps that are necessary to lead a life that is free of all Rahu induced troubles.
