Rahu Mahadasha (18 Years) — Results, Antardasha Order & Remedies

The flavour of the mahadasha

In the Vimshottari order Rahu's mahadasha runs 18 years, colouring life with intense desire, illusion and unconventional rise. The houses Rahu owns and occupies in your chart become the main chapters of these years; the opening antardasha (Rahu's own) unfolds the theme gradually.

Well-placed vs afflicted

A strong Rahu owning kendra-trikona houses makes its dasha a season of rise; tied to the trik (6-8-12) or combust-debilitated-afflicted, the same years become a season of testing. The dasha is therefore read from Rahu's condition in your chart, not from its name — see your dasha table and Rahu's placement together in the free kundali.

Antardasha order and spans

Within the mahadasha the nine antardashas run in this order (span = MD-years × AD-years ÷ 120):

Rahu-Rahu: 2y 8m

Rahu-Jupiter: 2y 5m

Rahu-Saturn: 2y 10m

Rahu-Mercury: 2y 7m

Rahu-Ketu: 1y 1m

Rahu-Venus: 3y

Rahu-Sun: 11m

Rahu-Moon: 1y 6m

Rahu-Mars: 1y 1m

Each pair's detailed result has its own page in this encyclopedia's Rahu-antardasha series.

Remedies

Traditional support in Rahu's periods: chant “Om Ram Rahave Namah”, donate coconut-blue cloth on Saturday, Durga-saptashati. Take up its gemstone only after a chart reading — only when Rahu is a benefic for you.
