Rahu is taken as a shadow planet in Vedic astrology, which does not exist. This is the point in the sky where the trajectory of the Sun intersects with the trajectory of the Moon when moving from north to south. Rahu is called the northern node of the Moon and the dragon’s head.
Rahu is the vital energy that encourages us to transform, renew, change, and revolutionize. Positively, Rahu can lead us out of the concept of duality and illusion. He helps us give us a true understanding of things, events, and objects surrounding us.
In material terms, Rahu can make a person a public favorite, and give fame, popularity, money, and beauty. On the negative side, Rahu can plunge us into very harsh illusions and give us the wrong concepts of happiness.
Under the influence of negative Rahu, a person develops very strange tastes and aggravates fears and phobias. A person begins to like everything that destroys him —for example, various intoxications (alcohol, drugs).
