Vedic astronomers using systems based on Rahu can also calculate eclipses. Bona fide astrologers based on actual scientific knowledge, which includes Rahu, can also make accurate predictions for personal or universal phenomena. Your idea that modern science, because it can make some predictions based on observable planetary movements, gives us the right to consider or preach that Rahu "a pretty legend only." is both illogical and incorrect.
