Win it all in Rahu!

[Guest guest]

Dear spiritual brethren,

I have decided to post on astrology.Because

it too is a part of Hinduism.However reader's discretion is

adviced.Because astrology has it's own loopholes.And I for one have

undertaken a different study of astrology (not the main stream vedic

astrology).I don't normally tell my views personally but sometimes

where necessary I do tell.I also don't prefer to talk about

astrology much as I feel it creates a paranoia.Please bear these

things in your mind when you read my postings on Astrology.

Rahu is not the actual planet but is an

imaginary planet. Rahu is a node that is positioned where the

earth's trajectory around the Sun and the Moon's trajectory around

the Earth meet. According to Indian mythology, Rahu represents the

head of a demon. Rahu is responsible for Solar eclipse. When Rahu,

Sun and Moon are in the same zodiacal longitude Solar eclipse takes

place.

 

Rahu is a 'shudra graha', hence people influenced by Rahu behave

like illiterate and uncultured people. It rules over thieves,

witches, magicians, venom and poison, snakes and thorny bushes,

jails and isolated places, unhabitated places, cemeteries,

hypnotists etc.

 

According to the Puranas, Rahu is instrumental in strengthening

one's power and converting even an enemy into a friend. Rahu is

often called the Planet of Success. Rahu doesn't rule any zodiac,

since it is not a real planet.The primary mode of Rahu is to expand.

He is a voracious grabber of good things in life, like Venus, but is

expansive like Jupiter, and can generate sudden events like Mars,

and powerful forces like Saturn. Rahu is very karmic. You will find

politicians rising into power during Rahu Maha Dasha say placed in

the 10th- we find it enhances the career overall, but is the way of

that expansion good or bombastic in many respects?

 

Rahu in the first generates lots of worry in the head. Rahu in the

first makes the person a wanderer, a foreignor, standing out,

appearing a little agressive at times. Rahu means "the unexpected,

uninvited guest from another land, here to steal something, not

wanted". This can never be all good

It can however turn into: "Your Rahu is giving you the power to go

into an established order or place or industry or endevour, and

somehow or another usurp a position there, and reap the richest

rewards". Yes, Rahu sometimes gets turned positive and agressive,

allowing the native to capture something spectacular. Rahu often

creates spectacular and stellar "grabbing" achievements in the house

it tenets. The results of that house may really stand out after

being discovered, just as Rahu was discovered. But the reaction may

be also rejection by the common, but love and acceptance from an

opulant minority, such as us here. We are an opulent minority in the

world (Rich in knowledge) seen often as DEMONS in our countries,

depending on the place. So these days in the West Rahu rules over

astrology very much so. The fact that I have Rahu in the 5th and the

5th lord in the second directly connects foreign ideas and

creativity that is unusual in my head (Rahu in the 5th) with my

mouth (the 2nd) and hence it is supportive of preaching hinduism in

America and Astrology etc.

 

The house where Rahu tenets becomes foreign and suffers the stigma

of being unwelcome in it's environment very often. So Rahu in the

first is hard on the person themselves, making them seem odd,

outcaste, a little too unique, etc. However, they can therefore be

the source of something new and original. They are often leaders of

innovation in some way.

 

Look to where the Lord of the house of Rahu has gone to understand

how he is reacting to Rahu, or where the lords personal interests

lie, and it might give a clue as to why Rahu has attacked that

particular house.

 

Rahu always causes Ketu straight across. Thus, the nodes affect an

axis always. On one side there is concern and expansion (Rahu) and

on the other side there is detachment and loss (Ketu). They are head

and tail of karmic reality- too much abundance and involvement for

the mouth of Rahu caused him to lose his body but he became eternal

in a sense.

 

So, you will over endevour and toil where Rahu is, because you are

driven too by past karmic material attachments like Rahu. You will

achieve much there, because of demonlike endevours. You will get

rewards, but you will suffer for your sins of theft, and all along

you will ignore the other side in some senses, and your detachment

for the Ketu side will grow, or your feeling of loss there,

depending on Ketu's particular color in the chart, and thus this is

one way that various imbalances and karmic reactions will manifest-

the Rahu Ketu axis is always key in discovering where some of our

main problems in life will be- losses, deaths, diseases, weird and

dangerous events. These two certainly carry these things.

typing fingers.
