Rahu is the point in the
zodiac where the paths of the Sun and the Moon cross Rahu
or Dragons Head or North Node represents, foreigners,
foreign countries, foreign travel, engineering and the
technical trades, smoke, old men, grand parents, theft,
gambling, drinking, nonconformists, the underworld and
the bad elements in the society.Rahu takes approximately
one and half years to travel a sign and hence completes
the round of the zodiac in eighteen years.
It is believed that either Sun or Moon is conjunct with
Rahu or Ketu, a solar or lunar eclipse takes place. In
astronomy Rahu is considered the dragon's head and is
also known as the north node of Moon. Rahu and Ketu are
not real luminaries and are regarded as shadow planets.
They do not have ability to cast aspects, as other planets
do, they do not rule any zodiacal signs and are not characterized
as male or female. Because they are related to Moon as
its north and south nodes, they reflect the basic bipolarity
of energy within the cosmos and the individual. They are
both regarded as malefic half-planets and they bisect
the natal chart of the horoscopes of all individuals. |
