The point of intersection of the ecliptic and moons orbit is dubbed as Rahu and Ketu.They have the power to directly influence the earth and that’s why they are regarded as planets.But in this writing the core discussion is about Rahu -the Dragon’s head or the Ascending node.This planet is related with Tamas or the darker side of life.Generally this planet represents the following-conspiracy,hidden activities,emigration to foreign countries,revolts, phobia,gambling,drug addiction,passion,spying,unknown fear,aeronautics,serpents,sudden mishaps,vayu related pain,low caste people,and any sort of evil thoughts and action.
In the zodiac this planet do not have any house as the houses are divided to other planets.According to Uthrakalamrita-Khanda 6 sloka 14 onwards-(Rahu do not manifest any sort of individual result-but the manifestation of Rahu’s energy depends on which planet it is conjoined or which planet aspects it.If it is not conjoined by other planet then it delivers the result of the house and the nakshatra in which it is placed and it delivers that particular result of the significator of houses).
It gives beneficial result in houses 4,7,9,10,11 and one can expect happiness,power,prosperity if it is conjoined by raj yoga planets.
In the view of Kalidas, Rahu is exalted in Taurus and its place of debilitation is Scorpio.Its friendly signs are Libra and Capricorn.Stars- (Adra,Swati and Satabhisha)are represented by Rahu.It generally takes 1.5 years to cross the span of each house.Rahu’s mahadasha tenure is 18 years and if it is well placed in D1 chart,D9 chart and drekkana chart then it can provide all the worldly comfort to the native during that period.
Vedic Remedies to enhance the power of Rahu-
1)Gomeda(hessonite) is the good gemstone to nullify the power of Rahu and it protects the person suffering from allergies,skin disorders,piles,epilepsy,infection of eyes,cold fatigue,insomnia,BP,and infection in upper parts of body.If Rahu is placed with Jupiter then one can use yellow sapphire to dominate the power of Rahu.Likewise if it is placed with moon then one can use burmese pearl to minimise the effect of rahu.
2)One can also worship Lord Varaha or Boar incarnation of Lord Maha Vishnu as this form is related with Rahu:-(Mantra- OM NAMAH BHAGABATEY VARAHA NARAYANAI NAMAHA).One can chant it 108 times in the early morning to get the positive effects of rahu.
3)Goddess Chinnamasta mantra is also very effective to nullify the evil effects of rahu:-(OM SHREEM HREEM HREEM AIM VAJRA VAJRO VAIROCHANIYE SHREEM HREEM HREEM PHAT SWAHA).This mantra is very effective if one can chant it in saturday night or in the nakshatra day of Rahu.
4)Eight Mukhi Rudraksh is also very effective remedy for planet Rahu as this bead is represented by Lord Ganesha who is known as the remover of obstacles and wearing this bead helps in promoting stability and strength to overcome all hurdles in life.
