classical base: shadow planet Rahu of Special Nature
Rahu is not a physical body - Chandra (Moon) - the orbit and the northern cutting-off point of the ecliptic are called Rahu, that is why it is shadow - Graha (Planet) & #x27 and always moves Retrograde (Vakri). The Rahu has no Rashi (Zodiac sign) of its own; it exaggerates the Rashi (Zodiac sign)-Nakshatra in which it sits and the planets it encounters.
Rahu has been considered high in Taurus or Gemini and low in Scorpio or Sagittarius by a conversion in the scriptures; Kanya is called by some acharyas his karma - Rashi (Zodiac sign). Because of the self-contradiction, Rahu is judged by its Nakshatra-possessor and conjunction (Yuti)-Aspect (Drishti) - this is the basis of microanalysis.
- High (Conversion): Taurus / Gemini. Low (Conversion): Scorpio / Sagittarius
- Factors: Foreign country, technology-internet, politics, delusions-addiction, accidental Labha, in-laws-in-law
- Rahu always Retrograde (Vakri) - average speed per Rashi (Zodiac sign) about 18 months
Rahu of Mahadasha and Antardasha of Result
Rahu has an Mahadasha 18 year. The Dasha of the Shubha-positioned Rahu (acronyms 3, 6, 10, 11 or Shubha-conjunction (Yuti)) gives unprecedented physical uplift - foreign-flowing, political-media-technology glitter, sudden big gains. Many of the modern era's pinnacles - men - have risen in Rahu-Dasha itself.
Victim Dasha of Rahu can cause delusions, addiction, deception, failure, and insomnia. Insights from Rahu-Mangal (Mars), Rahu-Shani (Saturn), and Rahu-Chandra (Moon) call for special vigilance; periods of Rahu-Guru and Rahu-Shukra (Venus) often provide relief. The formula for Rahu-Dasha: Have ambition, but never give up on moral limits.
Rahu of Transit
Rahu-Ketu always moves Retrograde (Vakri), each Rashi (Zodiac sign) lasts about eighteen months and completes the entire cycle in eighteen and a half years. Birth - Chandra (Moon) to 3, 6 and 11th house Gochar (transit) - Rahu is considered Shubha.
Gochar (transit)-Rahu increases the appetite of the person who goes through it - the desires are intense, but the satisfaction is late. The Gochar (transit)-conjunction (Yuti) of Rahu-Ketu from Surya (Sun)-Chandra (Moon) is what makes Grahan (Eclipse), so the tradition of chanting in Grahan (Eclipse)-Kala is associated with Rahu-Shanti.
