female and lack of interest in sex, but it is not like that. It is in a state of complete balance of
male and female energy. Generally a male craves for female because he lacks in female
energy in him. Similarly a female energy craves from male energy because she lacks
musculine energy.So balance manifests for that time. But for mercury, it will be in balance.
It will be the best state to become a Yogi.

If you search for Rahu in the sky even with sharpest of telescopes, you will not find it.
Because Rahu is not a physical planet, it is an imaginary point in the sky. But Rahu and its
tail Ketu are very important in analysis in vedic astrology. Rahu along with Ketu are
shadow planets which are formed because of movement of Sun and Moon. They does not
have their own physical significations. They give result based on its dispositor and
conjoined planet in a horoscope. Rahu is called as Dragon’s head and Ketu as Dragon’s tail.
Periodically Rahu-Ketu will eclipse Sun and Moon. Read more on Eclipse and mythological
storyhere.
Rahu is a mystic planet and it creates an eclipse or illusion over the planets it is associated
and the house itself. If dispositor of Rahu is strong, then it may not harm the house
significations much. Rahu with Sun and Moon are more dangerous than other planets. Sun
represents our soul and Moon represents our mind. When Rahu eclipse these planets, self
and mind respectively gets disturbed. Based on the intensity of affliction to Sun and Moon,
the results will vary. When Rahu afflicts other planets, still there can be problems related to
significations of that planet.
Sages have said ‘Shanivat Rahu and Kujavat Ketu’ which means Rahu acts like Saturn and
Ketu acts like Kuja. The reason being Saturn looks after past Karma of the native and Rahu
looks after unfulfilled desires of one’s past. We all take birth in this world to fulfill our past
desires and also the Karma. Rahu in the horoscope shows the area where the native has
some unfulfilled wants and desires. Based on the strength of its dispositor, it shows
longing, yearning and burning aspirations. Sometimes it goes out of control and becomes
addiction, cravings and compulsions. At this point of time, Rahu shadows the mind and the
native cannot judge what is right and wrong.
Rahu is considered as a malefic planet and it can create lot of hurdles and disturbances.
Rahu is a mysterious and secretive planet. Rahu can instill cunningness and deceitful
nature in the native. Especially if it is with Mars, it can create criminal tendencies also.
Many of the politicians and criminals will have prominent Rahu in their horoscope. But at
certain places, Rahu gives abundant wealth and material possessions. If its dispositor helps,
the native gets huge name and fame. It can even give celebrity status to the native. It gives
sudden events either positive or negative. It can take the person to a very big height and
the intensity of downfall will also be very sharp. If you see horoscopes of many celebrities
like film stars, sports personalities, politicians and in many other fields, Rahu played very
important role in their chart. On a materialistic perspective, Rahu posited in signs owned
by Venus and Mercury gives favourable results.
Rahu and Ketu play a very vital part in our life. These two behave in completely opposite
manner. Both take one to the extreme. Rahu always tries to keep us in illusion or Maya. It
always makes us to cling to this material world. Love, attachments, falsehood etc are all the
byproducts of Rahu. It will create a shadow effect on the planets it conjoins. If Rahu is well
placed in birth chart, it can give unimaginable comforts. On the other hand, Ketu tries to
pull us out from this material world or it removes one out of illusion. It gives renunciation.
That is the reason Ketu is called Mokshakaraka. No doubt both are heavyweight malefic
Planets. But one keeps you in illusion and other takes you out from this illusion. But again
they would not do anything alone; they will do everything with the help of other planets.
Both the planets show Karmic backlog in a horoscope.
It is said in scriptures that rahu has the own house of Virgo (Kanya), Moolatrikona in Leo
(Simha), exalted in Gemini (Mithuna) and debilitated in Sagittarius (Dhanus). It is also
believed from many scholars that Rahu is exalted in Taurus (Vrishabha) and debilitated in
Scorpio (Vrishchika).
Other Astrological Significations
Rahu signify gambling, cheating, thief, black magic, well built, explosion, dark secrets,
mysticism, illegality, foreign language, conspiracy, secret acts etc.
It is said in dictum as ‘Kuja vath Ketu’ which means Ketu behaves as Kuja or Mars. It
represents and gives the result like Mars. Here Ketu signify sudden events, transformation
etc. in a spiritual path. Ketu like Mars is a fiery planet which helps to burn the material
desires.
Rahu and Ketu shows some karmic backlog in the chart. Rahu shows some unfulfilled
desires of the past life while Ketu shows over indulgence in the past life. If Ketu is badly
posited in the chart, that shows the native in the past life might have excessively enjoyed
with greed at the cost of others. The position of Ketu will determine the specific area of life
where the native had over indulgence. In this life, Ketu makes that person to be discontent
in those areas or gives lot of obstacles. It can either give lot of problems in achieving the
particular goal or make him completely detached from that.
Astrologically, Ketu does not own any house since it is a shadow planet. However it is
believed that he owns Meena rasi (Pisces) and exalted in Sagittarius (Dhanu) and
debilitated in Gemini (Mithuna). It is also said that Ketu is very auspicious in Scorpio and
negative in Taurus. Dasa period of Ketu is 7 years.
