Unlike
the periods of the Planets, the importance of the Zodiacal Sign in which Rahu
is found at birth is overshadowed by the importance of the House in which he is
placed.
The
House positions of Rahu and of Ketu are far more important than the Sign
positions, Let us have an outline of the events and conditions peculiar to the
Rahu and Ketu periods in terms of House as well as Sign positions.
In
Hindu Astrology and beginning of each House is a Mid-point of a house i.e.,
halfway between the cusp of the House and the cusp of the preceding House as
per western method, while the end of each House is a point halfway between the
cusp of the House and the cusp of the succeeding House. This is most important when
determining the House positions of any planet or the House positions of any
significators in the Birth chart, such as Rahu and Ketu.
Rahu in the Zodiacal Signs
The
period of Rahu is not a fortunate one, unless in the native’s birth chart it is
extremely well placed. The period is a painful and a troublesome one. It is
usually accompanied by poverty and disease. The morals become loose and this
condition may result in actions, which may have serious consequences, even to
the extent that the native may commit a crime during this period, if Rahu be
badly placed or aspected.
Usually
the first part of the period is favourable or at least not as unfortunate as the
latter part, in which many tragic events are likely to occur. The native while
associating with honouorable and respected people, who like him and are very
well disposed towards him, still becomes entangled in all sorts of trouble and
his high hopes fall to ruin. Imprisonment, poisoning, enforced travel in
foreign countries may occur during this period and it is very important to note
the position of Rahu in the birth chart as to house, sign and aspect,
particularly its relationship with the Sun and the Moon.
Rahu,
however, is exalted in the sign Taurus and if he be found there, all the bad
effects will be mitigated to a great extent.
If
Rahu be in Taurus or Cancer in the life chart, then when the native is going
through Rahu period, conditions will be greatly improved-there will be a gain
in wealth-opportunities will present themselves through which the education
will be broadened-there will be some promotion or honour in the business or
profession if not married, the native will marry his servants or subordinates
will be honest and loyal and the native will enjoy good health throughout this
period.
If
Rahu be in Pisces, Virgo or Sagittarius in the life chart, that also is good
during Rahu period providing it is not placed badly as to house or badly aspected.
If it is favourably placed in house
position and well aspected, its position in Pisces, Virgo or Sagittarius
will give a male child and some rise in position gain through death of brother.
If,
however, Rahu be in Sagittarius or Virgo, badly placed as to house or badly
aspected, then conditions will be extremely bad. There will be a loss of health
and family; the occupation will be a dangerous one; there will be much deceit
and treachery on the part of enemies. The native may suffer injury from
gangsters or be one himself; he will have to work very hard to make an honest
living, at times not having enough to eat orhaving to subsist on food of very
bad quality, He will of necessity be forced to do menial work; his health will
be bad and he will suffer from some venereal disease, asthma, tuberculosis or
disorder of the glands. His marriage partner will cause him trouble and he will
have wicked children.
If
Rahu is found in the Asterisms Krittika, Uttar or Uttarasadha in the birth
chart, such position will intensify the bad effects of the Rahu period.
In

Rahu is found:-
